As I sit here on this 4th of July, I remember last 4th of July when she was on cool aerosol. I remember my family and I thinking our mom was on her way to being weaned off the ventilator and would be coming home. That never happened. In fact, we ended up taking her out of SACC a few months later. My mom passed away in January of this year (2026). I will never forgive SACC for not trying the herbal remedy we asked for multiple times. I don't know if these remedies would have worked, but I would have done anything to try. After all, the therapy department threatened us that we would have to sign a waiver if we wanted to try to sit her up at the edge of the bed. Why we could not have signed a waiver for the herbs is beyond me. I will never forgive the doctor who treated her, some of the RNs, and some of the RT's who did not want to try and help but always kept stepping back. My mom lost her will to live; all she wanted was to go home, and all SACC wanted was to keep her in that bed.

Got a mad night RT, Cynthia, banging noise in the rooms while Patients trying to rest & says, "I'm just doing my job, write down my name." I asked the Nurse a question, she got upset & said, "Im filling Dr's orders, don't ask Me questions."🤯SMH...🤬

This facility doesn't live up to their mission. My 38 yr old daughter suffered a Stroke, which has resulted in Anexic brain disorder. While at this facility, she was taken to the ER for severe UTI. She was gone beyond 7 days. No one called us to collect and pick up her personal belongings. When my Son in Law went to finally pick up her stuff, he noticed that some of her belongings were missing. The social worker who was assigned to my daughter wasn't very helpful at all. To this day, we've only recovered small stuff and the bigger items are still missing or shall I say, have been stolen. This happened at Little Company of Mary in San Pedro which is owned by Providence Hospital. We plan to file a complaint and hopefully, the TV station will entertain our sad and disgusting experience from this nursing facility. Nursing facilities are the worst place to put your loved ones. I can honestly say, they do not care about your loved ones, at all. This facility is one of those many. Zero stars for this one.
