Palomar Vista Healthcare Center

Insufficient number of CNA's to support patient load. Sunday I was stuck in bed all day. Staff are friendly and nurses pay attention to medication routines. PT & OT staff are knowledgeable and work well with the patients 5-6 days a week. Again this leaves one in the bed a lot on Saturday and all day on Sunday. I am very tired of being here and will be glad when I can go home.

They're communicative and well organized! My loved one is enjoying the meals! They are very healthy and flavorful!

I'm sure if I reached out, they'd give out more info.

It's an old place, but it's clean. The nurses are right on top of everything.

I would recommend the facility. We are very satisfied with Palomar Vista! In fact, they have done such a great job with the therapy that she is now able to come home sooner than they had originally scheduled her to come home. To add to that, my loved one came from the hospital practically debilitated. They have done a beautiful job getting her back to state she was in prior. Throughout her stay, there was only one meal she did not enjoy. I did not necessarily communicate with the doctor but in terms of the nurses, they were great with their communication.

The meals seem fine. There is room for improvement with some of the information. We feel a little in the dark about the plan and I would want to know a little more It gets confusing because I do not know personally who to reach out to.

It was good.

My loved one likes all of the people. She doesn't like how much meat she is served. They don't tell me about her care.

I love the rehab that they're doing. I like the administration there. They're fantastic. When my loved one needs to go to the bathroom sometimes no one comes in to assist her. Some of the nurses need more training. I look at a lot of people as being two-faced. Some are better than others. She's be in rehabs before and she doesn't have a private room here. There is no privacy here. My mom is complaining all the time about the food. They're very good about communicating to me about my mom's care.

Overall, it was good.

Every time I pick my loved one up, her wheelchair seat is dirty and nothing gets done about it. All around, it's medium clean. She always likes to eat out. She doesn't like the food there.

My loved one does not like the meals.

The people in the kitchen don't read my food slip and don't give me what I'm supposed to get.

My loved one would say it is a good place. They are all friendly. The CNAs are very attentive and is always answering his call light within minutes, one of the nurses makes sure he takes his medications and that he eats. He is on a special diet. I got a phone call from the physical therapists when he fell. I always ask questions and they answer my questions.

Personally, I haven't been happy. I feel the nurses aren't very attentive whatsoever. My dad has called me to help him because the nurses weren't. I feel like I've been doing more than the nurses. I get calls from the case worker, and she's very sweet and tries to keep me up to date as much as possible. I haven't gotten any communication from any doctors about what's currently going on.

Everything has been really good at Palomar! The therapy services are great! Everything about the nurses is excellent! Communication is excellent!

My loved one was happy there and the care was very good. The people were excellent! Their communication was fine.

I heard good comments from the patients and they talk nice about their experience. Everybody is friendly and most people are very concerned about their patients. They attend to the patient's needs. They provide good quality care and they are happy. The meals are good and they give balanced food for their diet for each person. If I need help I want to go there myself. If I have questions, they have the answers.

It is going very good at Palomar Vista and they have done well with my brother. Their rehab therapy is going good. He is walking and does the bicycle. The meals are good.

Our stay so far has been excellent. A couple of the staff are really good. Everyone seems super caring and loving. I've been very impressed. It's nice and small and he's getting more hands-on care from everyone. Their nursing care seems good. As far as I can see, the cleanliness fine. I know it's a very old building but they've kept it up. I'm called and informed about his care as needed and on a daily basis. Their communication has been very, very good. Very proactive and precautionary for his needs and care.
