I have waited a couple of weeks to write this review. I wanted to make sure that I calmed down before reviewing my experiences. My husband was released from his second 2 week plus hospital stay to this place that I DID NOT pick. This was his 2nd skilled nursing facility. My suggestion is to avoid this place at all costs. I have a medical background and know correct medical practices. I also know FILTH and CHAOS when I see it. I personally witnessed filth on the floors. Your feet stick to the floor. I was told they are not allowed to use disinfectant. I watched a patient on several occasions walk down the hall and pee and it was wiped up with a CNA's foot with a patient towel. No disinfectant was applied to the urine. There was dried urine in my husband's sink- that I was told is stained. Mold was growing in his bathroom and room (he broke out in a rash from it). My husband had recently been septic due to some serious health issues he is still dealing with. They did not have appropriate supplies for his wound care. They missed his IV antibiotic for several days till a sharp admissions nurse caught it. He has dementia and did not have a name band assigned to him until I mentioned it while outside. I was lied to about his care...mostly because the nurse in charge had no idea what she was doing. Remember he was just treated for sepsis from a very serious abdominal infection. When I called the CA state omnibudsman, he was shocked at all I had to tell him that we encountered. He inspected the place and has filed a report and told me to notify the CA State Health Dept. When they knew I was filing complaints with the state I was followed and spied on while outside. The omnibudsman told me he believed a cover up was in going on. This place is horrible. Additionally, the patients are out of control. The staff chase after them but do not control them. Dementia patients are just wandering around and breaking out----a loud siren would go off constantly by my husband's room. They would scream and curse. The staff are busy dancing and laughing with one another rather than caring for the patients. Because he was not cared for properly, he had an infection relapse and ended up in the hospital for another week plus on IV antibiotics. When we arrived at the ER- the nurse found a dirty used glove in his wound bandage when she uncovered it! He is now in another skilled nursing facility. Getting great care. It is clean, does no smell of piss (yes not urine-PISS). They have control over the dementia patients. They are loving and treat them with care, dignity and kindness.And they actually use disinfectant. DO NOT USE THIS FACILITY IF YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATIVES. There is so much more I could speak about...it would make your hair stand up...BEWARE!

If you have any family or friend at this facility, I feel for you. You can’t get help when needed even after waiting over an hour pushing the call bell. If you don’t have a family member visiting who can get help then you are just stuck on your own. You might see a CNA once during their shift but that is it so get everything you need then and hopefully patients don’t need a dry bed change. Bed sores are common here!!!

This place is amazing. Their rehab department really works here. They take the time to understand your needs and will work their magic. Speaking of rehab there is a staff member in this department that really stands time. His name is Lanve. (Spelling?) I feel wonderful about speaking about him. If you want your relative to have that extra care come to RiverPointe. P.S. Joe is another great therapist. Over all I haven’t run into anyone that’s not nice. I feel very confident in saying this is the place for short term or long term. Thank you

The facility is an older location but my mom was there this last year recovering from hip surgery and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. They worked very closely with us as family and were approachable and available to help. We ended up moving to a location closer to our house and they were helpful in the transition.

I had a really good experience at RiverPointe Post Acute. The staff were super kind and helpful, and you can tell they actually care about the people here. The nurses and therapists were always patient and took the time to check in, which made a big difference. The place was clean and organized, and everyone had a positive attitude that made things feel comfortable and less stressful. The therapy team especially was great, very supportive and encouraging through the whole process. Overall, I’m really thankful for how they treated me and would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs good care and a friendly environment.
