CriticalI am/was a resident of this facility
I was a resident for 5 weeks, from Nov 19- Dec 16 2023. I came after spending one week at Alta Bates Hospital. The facilities are in very poor shape. The ceiling is falling in multiple areas. Large holes with black moldy material can be found in patient rooms and several opened up in the hallway outside of my room. It wasn't raining. Buckets and towels were in use. There was interment hammering going on at all hours. I'm not sure if this was due to the roof issues. Most of the staff were not regular emplo…

My advice is do not send a family member here. Service is terrible. When my family became ill and returned to the hospital and later had return to the “FEAR” of returning was unbearable . They were so afraid to return. This must tell you something. We were fortunate enough to find another place that he is happy with. Try to retrieve his belongs was as nightmares ! After 2 months of consent calling and stopping by we were told over and over again they to look for his belongs. They continued to get angry with us and …

DO NOT send your loved ones here for ANY type of care. Many of the staff have a bad attitude and will make you feel as if you are intruding on them if you request something as simple as assistance with cutting your food if you have a broken arm. The rooms are sparse and the medical equipment used for blood pressure monitoring or weigh ins are not professional medical quality. The blood pressure monitor is the same brand that can be purchased at Walgreens, Target, Costco or the Kaiser pharmacy. The nursing staff mak…

CriticalI am/was a resident of this facility
I was there for 4 weeks following major surgery. Very noisy, day and night. At night staff would walk in to take care of my roommate and speak in loud voices. I never had a decent night's sleep. Food is totally DISGUSTING. I rarely ate a meal a full meal. Breakfast was the best meal. Ex: scrambled eggs on a raw English muffin. I'm on a salt free diet. Everything was over salted. Not even cottage cheese instead of a meal. Many nights, I went to bed hungry. I lost 20 lbs. in 4 weeks. I wouldn't recomme…

My mother is treated at Elmwood. I can say which I have never said this is an old Rinky Dink Dump. The staff had NO IDEA she my mom was there first off. I cAme from out of town where I live to find out what was going on with my mom and they knew nothing. My mother can't talk or stay awake long enough to tell me. They didn't give her any meds until a day and a half after she got there. Anytime we needed something there was NO ONE to help and when someone did come they looked like they didn't want to h…

My mom went to Elmwood Care Center for about 10 days. There were pluses and minuses to it. I really liked the friendly staff and felt like they really cared about the patients, but I had some issues with the place because it seemed they were rather unorganized. When my mom was being transferred over there, I was given a bag of medication from Kaiser and told as soon as I got in there that I needed to find the nursing staff because they were the only ones allowed to give her the medication. I went around trying to f…
