The only thing nice about the whole facility is the view. Each person pushed their work onto somebody else, even taking up to 3 hours to get to the restroom. Physical and Occupational therapy didn't see me but 5 times in a two week period. My insurance payed for therapy for two weeks but I received no such thing. It was noisy 24 hours a day. I wouldn't go there again unless I was moving to a facility to get on hospice to die.I went there to learn to walk again and without the medicine they were SUPPOSED to give to me, left ... read more

Made multiple phone calls that never got picked up throughout the week. Finally when I got through the lady on the phone was very annoyed and blunt with her help, even hung up prematurely. Think she needs help or better pay.

I guess all Palomar facilities sucks! Aunt came here and we went to visit. Sadly, we found her all bruised up. I should've read reviews before coming here! Abuse shouldn't be the solution for a dementia person. Breaks my heart.

My husband was a wheelchair patient who had fallen and broken a small bone in his neck. After five days in the hospital he was greatly weakened and not able to transport himself from wheel chair to bed, toilet, etc., so we took him to Palomar Heights rehab to regain his strength, after visiting several other rehab in the area. He was put immediately into diapers and no effort was made to help him get to the bathroom, nor was he provided with a wheel chair for nearly a week. Rehab was spotty due to staff vacations over the... read more

Don't go here for any reason!! The staff doesn't bother to follow doctors orders, the place is not very clean, they don't bother to listen to their patients cares or concerns. God forbid if you have a wound that needs a bandage change or your pain meds...good luck getting the staff to respond to those requests. Even a basic preference of a food request was completely ignored and disregarded. Pay for better care (really just care) any place else if you need it.

I'm writing this yelp review to other families when they have to move there loved ones to an after care rehab from the hospital. My grandpa had been at the facility for about two Maybe three weeks when I finally had the chance to go visit him I was shocked ! First off, let me ask a simply question .... if you take care of someone and you help them urinate everyday because he had no catheter... would you notice if that person was not peeing anything but two drops and within 4 days all the sudden your patient looked like t... read more

My mother in law was sent here after her release from Palomar hospital. The very first thing I noticed was the strong smell of urine in the hallway. Second thing I noticed is how tiny the rooms are and how they put 2 to 3 people in the tiny rooms with absolutely no privacy. I don't know how anyone can relax and heal in this depressing rehab place. The care givers look overworked and depressed as well. If the hospital recommends this place for one of your love one's, tell them NO THANKS!!! and look for a better rehab facilit... read more

My father was placed here for physical rehab after being hospitalized. He wanted out immediately, and I could see why when I went to visit him. The rooms are tiny, with zero privacy and about 3' between beds. It's very difficult to visit with someone in their room, since there are no chairs. You have to ask for one, and if you're lucky, they'll remember the request after 15 minutes. Some rooms have three beds to the room. There's a "privacy" curtain between beds, but it's open on top so the roommate's TV flickered all night ... read more
