Staff isn't very helpful, especially the night staff. Dint answer call buttons so you're left sitting in your own excretion, don't get your required medication, etc. Most staff there don't care about the patients. I was there for 2 weeks and never got to take a shower until one of the staff members hire cares, took me to the shower on the day I checked myself out. I wouldn't recommend this place because of the non caring staff.

Awful experience. No one knows anything. No one knows how the night goes with the patient. Impossible to talk to the discharge nurse. Its like they are hiding. They send patients home with discharge paper … which is a huge mess. No rx to refill. They don’t give u the left over medication you paid for.

My mother was admitted May 1, 2025. She walked in on own and would also go to the bathroom on her own. She was discharged with no medical equipment. They kept her with a diaper on so they would not have to take her to the restroom. They rarely answer the phone. I had to fly from Nevada twice to talk to my mother. When I would visit, I would stay for hours at a time not seeing anyone checking on her. One time I asked for a chair to sit down & after 45 minutes with no chair, I got 1 myself. This place is horrible, the staff are very unfriendly & not helpful at all. She now looks 10:times than she was when she went there. She fell 5 times as a result of not having a walker that they made her need. She is now at Torrance Memorial with a fractured wrist

ER - saved my life and were kind and caring while they did it. I'm in the medical field, practiced in hospitals - so I'm coming from that viewpoint (altho I didn't tell them my profession). After 3 days was stabilized transferred to TCC for a longer haul. So impressed by the care I received! Dr. Samina Khani was absolutely terrific. The nursing staff on units I and IV were so competent and responsive. Phys Therapy and OT taught me to walk again. They were so excellent at their jobs!! In 2018 I ended up in ER in tremendous abdominal pain. ER and waiting room full to the gills. I had to wait, but was aware they were keeping an eye on me. Diagnostic process took 6 hours where I had every possible scan and -x-ray. I remember the smile on the resident's face when he came in to tell me they were certain I didn't have cancer. Ended up having a Radical Hysterectomy, removing an ovary the size of a large cantaloupe. Hospital staff took wonderful care of me Did I mention that when a baby is born - a lullaby is played throughout the hospital? These are dedicated professionals at all levels - and they are patient and kind. I am so very grateful.

My mother in law was a patient at this facility and they treated her with respect, and catered to her needs. Physical therapy was throughout the day and she got back to normal quickly. Now fast forward my grandmother is a patient there for a partial hip replacement and they’re so sweet to her. I’m grateful for facilities that cater to patients needs. The facility is spotless, and they’re always cleaning and making sure every room is kept up. FYI I’m a nurse and worked at serval facilities and this is my top 3. Thank you ! Ruben,Doris, Shu and Rosie is A1 staff I’ll edit and include more when my grandmother stay is over.
