PositiveI visited this facility
I thought Desert Canyon Post Acute had a nice, clean facility, and that's what I like best. However it is post-acute skilled nursing, so there are multiple people per room. Mostly there were two beds in a room. What I loved the least was their physical therapy equipment. The staff who gave the tour was very good. The structure of the building was very good and top-notch. The sizes of the rooms were better than most skilled nursing.

I wish that I could give this place negative stars. The supervisor, Charlene, is unprofessional and incompetent of her title. She released my dad without contacting any of his family and now we have now idea where he is at. When asked about the situation, she talked to my family as if it was our fault. We trusted this facility with my dad's care and they failed us. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND CARELESS STAFF

My father was discharged from AV Hospital to recover at Lancaster Health Care on a temporary basis. I did my due diligence and reviewed their facility ratings, nurse to patient ratio, etc. I am my fathers P of A and when it comes to his health he typically defers all paperwork to me for signature.

Mind you, they never once called to ask me to come s…

Lancaster is the best one that I would choose out here in my area. It's more like a family. They treat you with respect. They have activities like they go shopping. I would recommend this place.

My mom was recommended to stay here to recover from a recent surgery and what a nightmare this place is! She spent two weeks at this facility and I have never seen a larger collection of incompetent and unqualified staff in my life. On top of lack of basic English skills, their nursing skills are not only lacking, but dangerous! My mother would turn on her bed light to request a nurse for assistance and on several occasions a nurse came in and unplugged the light! My mom developed a septic infection at her surgical…

I visted this place for my grand dad. First impression was that the place is really clean and that it doesn't have any stench. I've decide to put my granddad and my choice was absolutely right. Every staff were polite and accomodating. My grand dad had the best treatment in Lancaster Healthcare center. I would highly reccommend this place!
