Terrible experience. My mother was sent to South Coast Post Acute in Santa Ana for recovery after heart surgery, and during her stay she fell three times due to the negligence and lack of supervision of the nursing staff. Before arriving here, she was walking and improving — now she has lost mobility in her arm and leg and has become extremely weak. This facility failed to provide basic care and attention to their patients. I do not recommend this place to anyone who truly cares about their loved ones.

After my father’s third stroke, it became clear that my mother and I wouldn’t be able to take care of him until he regained more mobile. After he was hospitalized for a few days, we were forced to transfer him to a skilled nursing facility. We were given many options. We decided to go with South Coast Post Acute (SCPA) because of the relatively close proximity to our house in Huntington Beach, but we were originally concerned that the ratings weren’t that good on Yelp and Google. We have heard horror stories about nursing homes, so we wanted to make sure that SCPA would take good care of him while he was there. My father ultimately stayed at SCPA for over a month. We were actually very impressed by the care he received there. It is clear that SCPA’s management hired a strong group of caregivers. I am normally horrible with names, but I took notes on those who took care of my father. They are a great group of caregivers that should be mentioned: Nina, Brian, Matthew, Jesus, Omar, Lubna, Alyz, Logan. Rosario, Olaya, Los Angeles, Lizbeth, and Keanna. Physical therapy did everything they could to help my father with his mobility issues; they were all excellent. They included: Meray, Ethan, Anthony, and Nick. Rosetti is an excellent speech pathologist. My father’s ability to eat without choking improved significantly because of Rosetti. I’m sure I’m forgetting a name or two, but all of these people were great. I wouldn’t hesitate having a loved one at SCPA.
