Update on the after math of taking my husband out of the facility...... Someone from the facility ( that didn't agree with my review) called Elder Protective Services ( senior social services) to inform them that I was abusing my husband by keeping him from needed and proper care. The social worker came out to speak with my husband, and my husbands adult son & daughter to investigate the alleged abuse. After speaking with them the case was closed and labeled as unfounded. Think twice before you post negative review for this ... read more

Tonight was moms second dinner. Mom made faces when she ate. So I went to lanardies to get split pea soup. Mom was happy.

My family had a bad experience here. My siblings and I had never had a parent need this type of specialized care before, so didn't know what to expect. In a time of great stress while our mother was recovering from a traumatic injury, it would have been helpful for staff at Vasona Creek to provide basic welcoming information about procedures, protocols, goals, and what OUR role, as loved ones could be to facilitate things. Well, we got ZERO orienting or welcoming information, either in writing or verbal. It was also almost t... read more

I'm not sure how to rate a place like this. Many people that come here are in awful situations. Many are elderly struggling with illness. Many are terminal. The system is broken at this level in our healthcare. Workers are under paid and they have to deal with death and suffering everyday. They seem ill prepared in most places to do elderly care well, except perhaps hospice. That said. Getting my aunt out of Vasona was the healthiest thing I did this summer. The care was far from top shelf, the employees were far from on t... read more

I'm sure these places are equally awful but this one is the worst. My father in law was admitted 2 days ago to an END OF LIFE bed. Meaning he is dying. Was told maybe 14 days, chose to die with dignity instead of slowly drowning from fluids in his lungs from lung cancer. This was all decided before transferring him here. They are supposed to be giving him drugs on a consistent basis. The doctor told us we would have to demand the nurses given him his drugs which we have had to do almost every single time. A nurse last nigh... read more

Well, I'm home! Was so angry I left this facility several days after I arrived. They placed me in a room so small that my potty chair was one foot from hallway, the other roommate had to have EVERYTHING (wheelchair, walker, chair, bed table) removed so they could wheel her bed out for test to be done. There was no cord attached to the light over bed, no where to plug in cellphone or IPad, no room telephone. Everything got piled at foot of my bed (my robe, clean towel, bed linens, clean gown, diapers, magazines, wet wipes... read more

Vasona Creek Healthcare was a nightmare. My stay was following an amputation surgery. I was transferred to the facility directly from the hospital. The room I was placed into had 3 beds. The room, however, was designed for two patients. There were two TVs and the controller for my bed controlled the TV for one of the other patient's TV in the room. During the 20 or 21 days, I was a patient at Vasona Creek I had only 3 staff members that were exceptional. Sadly 2 of the 3 staff members worked Day Shift. The last staff member... read more

Unless you are sending someone in good health, and only for physical therapy, find an alternative. -The Kaiser liaisons are not trust worthy and have convenient memories. If you do use Vasona, get every conversation with the local Kaiser reps documented and then go over what you captured with them. Document everything so to avoid 'he said, she said'. - They misdiagnosed my mother with an infection that sent her to the ER, and after 3 days concluded the original test was tainted. -Put my mom in diapers because it was more ... read more

DON'T BE FOOLED by the 3.5 yelp stars. Don't be fooled by the looks of this place. Don't be fooled by the cheery receptionist welcoming you there. Don't be fooled by the fountain in front or the nice tour. It may look pretty on the outside but it's ROTTEN on the inside. My mom was transferred there on Thursday afternoon. She was squeezed into the tightest spot in the middle bed of a small dingy corner 3-person room. I asked an Admissions person ( I forget her name...a middle-aged Hispanic woman) to move my mom to a ... read more
