Best care staff of the four Bay Area post acute facilities we have long term experience with. Professional and attentive, empathetic and friendly. Details count: meals and housekeeping are done to a high standard. If I operated a post acute facility I would do it their way, if I had to choose one again I would pick Vineyard. We were grateful for their great humanity on every level.

I used to work for mental health so I have been in many facilities across the state. anyone that has been to one knows "the smell" this one does not. we have all heard horror stories, and while they may be possible here, that was not my experience. I have spent the last month here recovering from a wound and being bed bound for nearly 2 weeks. First experience was meeting Mark (the Mr. fix it) my bed was in need of modification as I am not a small guy. I would meet him again when I sat on my bed wrong and unplugged the airbag inside the mattress. The activities people are those that are perfect for those jobs. the just almost annoyingly happy people. they make events fun and inclusive. how dare people be happy around here, this is a care home. lol. The RN Aileen was just top notch. a nurse that stands out is Ester, there is another Ester in therapy that is pretty awesome too. Mark in PT (not to be confused with Mr. Fix it) was a lot of fun and a great story teller. sadly I am terrible with names, so I cant remember some other staff names, but many of them welcomed me upon my arrival. my family were very fortunate to be able to care for my grandmother up to the end, but if we hadn't been able to, I would have trusted this place with her. those that know me know that's a big deal. I am due to be released home in a few days, and will edit if experience changes. but for now, there is now one facility I trust for my family, and its here.

This review is long overdue. My brother (Alfonso) was at Vineyard Post Acute for approx. 3 months. If it wasn't for Tasha Stone taking interest in my brother that was at Specialty Hospital he would not be here today. Right away at VPA he started to receive the services and care that he needed to recover. PT, OT and speech started working with him right away and got him up and walking.<br><br>I want to give a shout out to All of the office admin staff, Nurse's (Lourdes and many more), CNA's, PT (Caleb, Sebastian, Mark and many more), OT (Ester) and speech (Skylar). The nurses and CNA's always communicated with the family and were very professional and attentive to my brother’s needs, they would go beyond to create a safe place where he could heal.<br><br>The facility was clean, maintained and very welcoming.<br><br>Thank you for ALL you do!!<br><br>Highly recommended!

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Vineyard Post Acute in Petaluma. Choosing a facility for care is never easy, and I truly appreciated the kindness and professionalism I encountered here. The staff treated patients with patience, respect, and genuine compassion, which makes such a meaningful difference during vulnerable moments.<br><br>The environment felt supportive, and I could see the effort many team members put into making residents feel comfortable and cared for.<br><br>Thank you to the caregivers and staff who go above and beyond to create a space where healing and dignity are prioritized.

The facility staff are doing excellent work especially the CNA’s and RN’s, they’re doing well on taking care of the residents. They also help the family’s resident to feel that he/she is safe and well taking care of at VPA. ❤️
