Terrible - don't send your loved ones here! Management was a joke. Physical therapy lies about progress Front desk does nothing- just blank response or they just really don't care Some nurses care - you can tell which care Poor communication Long call times Forgot to give medication once Bathrooms NOT up to code for guests A random patient spit on my car 😡 Food sucks - I usually brought stuff daily Avoid!

I am currently a patient here and good and bad 1. Food is bad most of time you can’t tell what it is 2. Nurses are scares. A few goods one on top of everything especially with meds then they bring in contracted nurses who take forever not sure why they don’t have all the meds already sorted and a 2nd nurse would be of great help 3 they are never on time with meals 4. PT and OT are great I actually enjoyed my times with them At this time I have no weight bearing but I so want out out of here asap At least so I can get my meds on time Not the best not the worse Claudia and Ms Joy great people

VERY BAD FACILITY!!! DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONES HERE! The Director of Nursing Sheila does not do anything. She does not respond to any of my texts or calls and when I stopped by in her office, she was so relaxed with her legs even up in office chair. The facility smells strong urine every single day. My dad's curtain was even stained with feces. CNA says that they are short staffed and don't even have time to help out with my concerns. Nurses does not follow up with my dad's medication on time and was always missing. Group of nurses are always in one station having a good time when my dad's call light's on

Been here over a week as a patient, and im so weak that I wish I were dead. Not enough staff. Medications are late or inconsistent. You have never seen so many tattoos in your life. You can ring buzzer for help and wait 19 min to 60 min for response. My blood sugars are put of control. Some pts and aides were helpful but because the patient to caregiver ratio was so inconsistent, I just said I wanted death rather than to continue here. Last night my Ethiopian livn spilled juice all over my tray and didn't clean it up or bring me juice. Food was so awful that I ste the t Roll n asked for yogurt n banana. As a current patient i can express myself unlike those recovering from a stroke. Terrible. I WISH THE STAFF COULD SPEND A DAY OR WEEK HERE. THEYD BE SCREAMING THEIR HEADS OFF. Website shows a pool. No pool.out of service for almost a year. No plans to fix E3b S How difficult it to locates my missing laundry . Nightgown, tshirt My stomach is cramping because they want to wait after breakfast to change me. They forgot my eve rx and morning rx. Blood sugar was 255. Woopie probably be igno U tell me to call but ur internal wifi is so bad it won't go through. Sunday I had poop in my diaper twice. Lvn acted like it was my fault. Why didn't she get me a nurse??? Instead I. Will probably be ignored until next bout of diahrea. I feel like an an animal but animal get treated better. This morning I tried to use the commode. I could only pee not poop. After pt I asked to use commode again but they had not cleaned it. Made me ill. At this point I'm going to a cheaper place of my sisters choice. I'll be dead soon.

My Father is a current patient at Vasona Creek and I’m making a heartfelt review about the admissions director Omar Rumero. I heard how he talks to other patients and he is very kind and passionate about his job. I appreciate all the good services and discussions that we’ve had, he has done an excellent job! I also want to highlight how full of life the facility is with engaging activities and a top quality rehab team. I have visited a nearby skilled nursing facility and I wasn’t impressed - Very disappointing with ridiculous fees for a private room. Choose Vasona for all your skilled nursing needs. A plus: Omar and the team worked very well with the hospital and the whole process was just wonderful!
