  Michelle and Mark are both all stars - Michelle is so knowledgeable about this whole complicated process, ane Mark went above and beyond to make sure thing my dad was getting the personalized care he needs.<br><br>It’s hard having a loved one go to a skilled nursing facility, but the people at pacific post acute are like a family that make the whole process much nicer and more manageable for all.

  My father was there for 2 months after refusing to return to diffrent skilled nursing facility following hospital discharge. The staff's attitudes were exceptionally kind and professional. The physical rooms weren't the newest or largest but they were clean and the beds were very good. PT and OT were exceptionally good. The staff definitely went beyond the basics to make sure patients had the best possibility to recover fully. We appreciate the teamwork the most. Everyone tried to help instead of just saying it was someone else's job, they would try to get the right person working your issue. My father reported that the food was very good and generous. Snacks were always available and if we left for medical appts over a meal, they would pack a sack lunch. Exceptionally positive and kind staff. I do suggest that family should always check on arrangements and not assume things happen seamlessly. Thanks to Mark, Diana, Sammy, Liz, Grace, Aimee & Steve plus all the dedicated staff whose names I can't spell.

  My dad stayed there. It won't wow you when you walk in the door; I'd give them a 4 for that, but every single staff member I've dealt with there from Sammy (director, I think) or Steve (PT), to the young guy at the front door has been outstanding. The kitchen staff was politely helpful when I brought lunch from home and wanted simple things like a plate and flatware so I could share lunch with my dad. Some people really are on a mission from G-d and getting it done even if there is no band playing when it happens.

  My mom recently was at Pacific Post and I am grateful for the excellent care she received. The staff was very supportive and the physical therapy team outstanding, she regained her strength and mobility in a relatively short period of time. I highly recommend Pacific Post to anyone in need of rehab services.

  Im currently a patient here at pacific post acute, was admitted for s/p hip replacement. Ive been here for a month, l was hesitant and scared at first, but my family and i know that i needed more help to recover completely.My first impressions of Pacific Post acute was its a very nice looking place, clean and smells good, it doesn't smell like ur typical nursing home. The staff are very good, respectful, caring, professional, clean, compassionate and very hard working. I will recommend this place to any one looking for somewhere to recover and needs rehab.<br>After a few weeks of rehab, with the help of both phenomenal rehab and nursing team, i’am now going home. I cant thank you enough for all the help that all the staff at Pacific Post acute did for me.<br>I want to specially mention the following people that made this experience memorable in a good way for me. Dolores social service, Mark admission coordinator, Michelle marketing, Virgina DON, all my CNA’s, Mirla RN , Geraldine RN , Kassandra LVN, Kent DsD, Bianca and Kristy from Rehab and most of all to my favorite Nurse Lili always making me laugh, and always making sure im well taken care off.. Thank you again team Pacific!!!
