I am writing a review for Michelle Bayuga. I am currently a short term resident. I've been here 4 years+. I have watched Michelle grow from a receptionist to a fabulous Social Services rep. She helps us with our appointments, rides and various needs. I'm heartbroken to find her leaving next week. She should have been promoted. I don't think they know that this diamond in the rough is blooming into a beautiful flawless diamond. She's going to school and will soon have her degree. I wish Rusty could see all the hard work behi... read more

I've partnered with Rusty for many years now. Working with close to 250 nurses every year, Rusty has been instrumental in adding professional insider view to many of the nurses. I've seen those who have had the opportunity to meet with him thrive tremendously. As for my nurses who choose to go and work with Rusty after school, I've received nothing but positive back from them. I recommended highly as a business partner

My 92-year old mom has been there for two weeks rehabbing from a fall. The staff has been wonderful. Caring, responsive, competent and hard-working, especially the folks in rehab who are very dedicated and professional. The facilities are simple, but clean and well lit. The food is ok, nothing special. Parking is definitely hard to find.

My aunt was in this rehab facility due to a leg amputation and infection on the wound. She was just discharged and she is doing great! Mom and I were Talking and we both felt sorry for this facility, because we know my uncle is so rude and micromanages everything done to my aunt and he even speaks for her. He is truly the definition of a helicopter husband....bossy, demanding and a jerk to say the least. So mom and I were kinda waiting to hear all abt the horrible things he had to say abt this facility, like he did abt Do... read more

During the difficult years when our mom was suffering through Alzheimer's disease, she received continuous compassionate care from the medical and attending staff at Santa Cruz Post Acute (Kindred Care). The attentive staff treated her like she was part of their own family, providing her with loving care, respect, and dignity. They also showed great care for my family, taking time to update us and patiently explain things they observed. Thank you to all those who make Santa Cruz Post Acute such a caring place.

This is truly a fantastic facility. My grandfather has been in other skilled nursing facilities for his illnesses & injuries over the years but this one tops them all. Friendly and educated staff, outstanding nurses! If he ever needs to go back for short or long term care, this is definitely where I will have him go.

BEWARE OF POORLY RUN SKILLED NURSING FACILITY My brother was placed here for rehab after being in the acute care hospital. He is mentally and physically impaired and unable to speak up for himself. This facility provided subpar, sloppy care including medication errors, not providing enough showers or hygiene, not enough nutrition...no snacks were provided between meals, and he was always hungry.. His lunch tray was always very late. They lost some of his clothes; the case manager took his hearing aids and accidentally left t... read more

Had a family member stay here for recovery after being discharged and I would not recommend anyone to take their loved ones here. The quality of care is non existent, along with hygiene standards. Upon arriving on the first day, our family member had to be put on life support. In the middle of the night, the machine broke and she was left unattended after repeatedly hitting the call button for 3 hours. She thought she was going to die because no one was coming to help. They also failed to give her medications on time. It's p... read more

The moment I stepped into this place the whole vibe was off. Don't expect a greeting from the front desk because you won't be getting one. What you can expect to see is patients up and down the hallways and the smell was horrific. My grandmother stayed here for 1 week before we were luckily able to move her. She was not changed regularly, or transferred properly. She was put on the facility floor with no socks on which doesn't seem like a big deal but in healthcare it is. The conversation in the hallways from the nurses with... read more
