I wanted to get information about my dad and this nurse Patricia was incompetent and extremely disrespectful with her tone with me. I want my dad to get the best possible care and she made me want to leave immediately.

No handicap parking in front of the facility that I could see. Is that even legal? Employees take up parking spaces in front leaving a handicap person having to park in back and walk all the way around to the front of the facility when there was plenty of empty parking spaces for employees to use instead. While visiting yesterday I saw plenty of employees getting into cars in the front parking lot. Do better Sequoia Vista.

This place is horrible, my mother in law has to stay for 20 days and this place is awful. They don't do anything to actually help there residents. The kitchen is filthy the food is disgusting. It looks like they haven't cleaned the stove in I don't know how long. They ignore the residents even when they have called for help. I hope no one ever has to stay there. I feel horrible for the people that have to live there.

I went to this facility to visit a relative today. I had not been there for 8 years since when my cousin was a resident. I noticed that the nurses front counter was redone and was greeted friendly when I arrived. The aides and nurses were very polite and patient I went to see was very happy with all his care. I did notice the facility has not replaced the single pane windows and the present windows are very stained with water spots and appear very dirty. The facility was clean inside but the front grass and flower beds do need attention. Otherwise this facility is a 4star!
