Westwood Post Acute CA

Michael

My wife moved to Westwood Post-Acute. The care is excellent 24 hours a day. They're attending to her and taking care of her needs. It is quite large. The rooms are clean. The layout is very easy to get around. They have a large patio area that is very nice for my wife to sit in her wheelchair. They have all kinds of activities. My wife is not happy at all with the food.

My mother-in-law is in Amberwood Gardens. They are very good. The staff is wonderful. They really know her, and they pay the residents a lot of individual attention. They find ways to bring her out of her room and join the activities until she gets used to it. They took her along on the outings that they do, and she loves going out with them. They attend to her needs. They do her nails for her. She has a wonderful aide that really helps her with showering. She has an on and off skin condition, and they help her attend to that. They are very supportive. She is sharing a room at the dementia unit. The dining room is kind of plain, but it is adequate, and the people get to sit together; there are 4 to 6 people to a table. The food seems very good and very adequate. She says she likes it, and she's gained probably 10 pounds since we brought her there. We are thrilled because she is eating and she likes it. They do lunch outings once a month. Every day they have activities in the activity room; sometimes it will be bingo, sometimes it will be drawing or doing a little exercise thing, and she likes that. They do current events, and they seem to do a lot with playing music.

Amberwood Gardens is the only one available. Actually they were talking about having to look at the Central Valley area to places we would never be able visit my dad. They were releasing him, but they could not release him back to his home. This facility is the first one that came up. The staff was incredibly kind and caring. They seem to enjoy their job. They have been great. They have kept in contact with my sister who is the primary contact. We have no complaints as far as being kept abreast. I try to visit my dad almost every other day, and the facility always looks clean. I'm pleased with that aspect for sure.

Physical Therapy dept. is caring and well-trained. They provide very good service, but more time should be alotted there. Beware of a certain caregiver, S. Menendes. She comes to your house and spends 3 hrs "pretending" to sort the medications, but she carelessly doubles the meds and hides magazine she reads.
