My mom spent a week here. Seemed ok, my first impression was clean, nice looking, very much a hospital feel. She is 90 and came there after a week stay at Palomar for a urinary track infection and anemia. They did 'rehab' for her and declared her fit to leave. As soon as she got home, she complained of stomach pain and painful urination. 'FOUR' hours after being released from this place she has to go back to the ER for a 'severe urinary track infection'. God only knows how sick she would have been IF she had stayed lon... read more

Aviara is the rehab center that my father landed after two hospital stays. It seemed like a good place based on the reviews, but our experience sucked. Upon admission they took an inventory of his belongings and medical situation. He was still recovering from MRSA so they put him in a room with a quarrantine sign on the door. I visited at 5:30 pm and the night staff told me that he was fine and that I did not need to wear the protective clothing that the protocol specified. We sat in his room and his IV was coding for sev... read more

I called Aviara to see if they could accommodate my mom since she will be getting discharged from Tri City in the next few days.

First impression is NOT 100% positive. Lacking communication & offering suggestions. Some staff is good & others, not so much. They forgot about my mom on the commode & take too long when her call button is pressed. BTW, she's dying of cancer. Where's the compassion? #Slackers

The facility is nicely furnished and has a pleasant feel to it. That's where the 'plusses' end however. They are short staffed on careworkers. My father's remote control for the television didn't work and it took a week to get a new one despite multiple requests to maintenance. They were just not on top of it. The television screens are way too small. The staff is ill-equipped to handle a patient who doesn't 'fit the mold', like a person with dementia. They required us to hire a 24/7 'sitter' for my dad.
