  My father was sent to this location. From Kaiser, he was a engineer, a pilot. I'm very smart individual when I visited him. It was as if they over medicated him, he wasn't himself? He would ask me to go touch the doorknob in the room that he shared with another individual, he kept on ask me to do things like that. The person in the bed next to him, said you're not supposed to do it. But I didn't know what was going on. Eventually, they admitted him to the emergency room in playa Del Rey. I believe it was on Lincoln boulevard, my dad was never the same. He actually died in that hospital. The emergency doctor who was excellent. He told me that they took too long. To send him to the hospital. R.I.P.

  This place is horrible. My father went in on Friday 7/11/25 after leaving the hospital to recover. I visited him on Sunday 7/13/25 and I noticed he looked lost and wouldn’t answer any of my questions or have a conversation with me he would just nodded his head and would fall asleep. I spoke to a nurse and her answer was he must be tired. I shouldn’t have believed her. Now he’s at the hospital again with what looks like a red bruise not and not responding to our questions or the doctors just with a lost look. We asked them what happened he was doing fine at the hospital before getting sent here all they can say is we don’t know

  I would have given this place one star, save for some of the great people who work there (Chris, Jesus, Linda, Marilee, Yolanda, Aldo, Emily, Raynesha, Ashley, Rit.) It was disorganized from Day One - there was pretty much no intake process, and we had to ask a bunch of questions to get basic information (meal times, what type of clothes to bring, etc. etc.) The administrator was there intermittently, and the staff never knew when she would be in, or the social worker. Whoever said it smelled was correct - an unidentified mix of bodily fluids as soon as you walk in. We had to ask multiple times for my father to get his medicine on his regular schedule. We had to ask multiple times for a CNA to change him or move him to the wheelchair so he wouldn't be in bed all day. No one seemed to be the source of truth of who was working and where they were at any given time. Showers are only twice a week, and they skipped him AND tried to blame it on him refusing - not realizing I had been there the whole time and knew they hadn't come to get him. So they wanted him to wait several more days before getting one because they "preferred to stay on the schedule" (regardless of him not being clean.) He had a rattling, productive cough and they ordered an X-ray, which they said showed nothing. Instead of pushing the issue, they gave him cough syrup. Everyone knows cough syrup does nothing but mask the underlying condition. His roommate was suffering from a broken tooth, and had to beg to see a dentist and ask multiple times for his meals to be changed to something he could eat. If we hadn't been there to advocate for him, I don't know what would have happened. It's a shame because there are some great people who work there and it's conveniently located, but they only got their act together when someone called the ombudsman and they knew the Health Department was coming for an inspection.
