I’m writing this review because Santa Cruz Post Acute has been good for my father. He is rehabbing post stroke and is progressing with his therapists. The staff has been very helpful in making sure they are attentive. I’m happy that Santa Cruz Post Acute is trying to do a good job. Not all nursing facilities are bad.

Santa Cruz Post Acute saved my brothers life. They have been wonderful. He came to them with broken back, ribs and was being evaluated for hospice care. He had very poor care at another facility where he had been for a year+ after a stroke. He had declined there and was unable to move, sit up, speak or eat when I insisted that he go back to Dominican Hospital. They said he had no broken bones and was “failing to thrive and should be in hospice care” He was dying…. The hospital staff was amazing. They confirmed that he indeed had broken bones from a fall at facility, got him stabilized and facilitated a move to a different facility. Within a few weeks with the wonderful care givers at SCPA, he was eating, speaking, and working on sitting up. Finally out of pain and much happier :). I just returned from a visit today, after just a couple months, he’s sitting up on his own, is speaking better, can walk with assistance, and has mastered some basic skills. From the day he was admitted every staff member has been great. There was more communication and followup in the 1st week than the entire time he was at the previous SNF (over a year). I live out of state. What a difference. Thank you all for saving my brother’s life. Can’t wait to see the progress he’s bound to make over the next few weeks. I’m sleeping better knowing that he’s in great hands.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care my mother has received at Santa Cruz Post Acute since her transition from the hospital in February. Jessica has been absolutely amazing from day one. Navigating skilled nursing was a new and challenging process for our family following my mother's stroke, especially while coordinating care from out of state. Jessica and her team have been incredibly patient and kind, guiding us through the process and effectively facilitating communication with both the care team and insurance. Her support significantly eased my anxiety during this transition. I also want to commend the rehabilitation team. We have seen tremendous progress in my mother’s recovery, and we are grateful for the hard work and dedication they show their patients. Additionally, I cannot say enough about the wonderful nursing and CNA staff, specifically Christian, Miriam, Arellia, and Kelly. It is clear that they truly love what they do, and the quality of care they provide to my mother is outstanding. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to ensure my mother receives the care she needs to recover. Sincerely, Camellia Walton

I found the staff at Santa Cruz Post Acute very caring. The CNA truly cared about her patients and made them comfortable and happier. The therapists were excellent, dedicated and brought joy and encouragement to their work with patients and help them immensely. Care conferences with the case managers and team were regular and helpful in optimizing care. I also found the administrators responsive and helpful with any needs that came up. I would definitely recommend this facility.

My mom was very well cared for at Post Acute. The nurses on staff are friendly, caring, and compassionate, and were there for her when she needed assistance. The admin staff was responsive when we had questions, including the receptionist, Tina, who is friendly and very always there to help. Space is somewhat limited in the shared rooms, but nurses and staff kept things as orderly as possible.the facility is clean and there’s a sunny courtyard as well as a large main room, both good places for use while visiting. All in all we were happy with Santa Cruz Post Acute.
