I can’t say enough about the care provided at Pacific Coast Manor. The entire team is incredibly compassionate, attentive, and responsive. The nursing staff truly listens and is always there to offer support, which makes such a difference during a difficult time. A special thank you to Hailey and her team for their kindness and genuine care! I’m so grateful for the level of compassion and professionalism shown every step of the way.

My mom stayed here after her hospital stay until she was ready to go home. She can be quite difficult sometimes and the staff was so patient and kind to her. Definitely our best experience with a recovery center so far!

I just spent many hours this afternoon, dealing with a friend who was determined not to stay there even though it was the best care he could get. All of the staff I dealt with remained professional through an experience which could not have been easy for them. His blood pressure rose and it was determined that he would be sent back to the hospital. Bravo to the staff who handled him with care and concern.
