Palomar Vista Healthcare Center boasts about its five-star rating, but it's anything but a five-star rating. There is only one lady that is deemed worthy of a commendation and she was very nice to me. They would sometimes give me my roommate's meal, accidentally switching them over. There were certain guidelines that my diet required, and they did not meet those requirements very often. It looked good on the outside, but once you get inside, it's unclean.

I currently have a loved one staying at Palomar Vista Healthcare Center. The facility is a bit outdated, but the level of service, care, and profesionalism is amazing, makes you overlook the fact the facility is a bit old. I have seen first hand how the staff cares for thier patients/residents and it is something that is very awarding to see, especially when it is for our elderly. I read the most current reviews and do not understand what they've experienced as it is the complete opposite of my experience with…

CriticalI'm in here right now.
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.

I was transferred here after shoulder replacement surgery. I am a paraplegic. I've been wheelchair bound for 6 years. I chose the facility for its proximity to San Marcos so family and friends could visit more easily. Big mistake, I should have looked at the reviews. They are under staffed. Some staff is upbeat and helpful. Some appear to resent being asked to help you. It has taken on average one hour to get a response from staff if you are soiled or needing attention for pain or positioning. The beds are sup…

No one communicates with each other in this place. There is three staff members that decide when patient is going to be released. Of course, we get three different opinions and my mom is stuck in that place. Now I half to spend energy fighting to get her out instead of taking care of her. Plus the visits are more limited than the prisons. FREE MY MOM!!! FREE MY MOM!!! FREE MY MOM!!! FREE MY MOM!!! FREE MY MOM!!! FREE MY MOM!!! FREE MY MOM!!! FREE MY MOM!!! FREE MY MOM!!!

If you have a choice, DO NOT use this facility. My Mother spent two days here, following a hospital stay. The physician that released her from the hospital said that she needed another week or so of IVs and rehab so she would be strong enough to return home. When she left the hospital she sounded strong, could speak clearly and normally, and was very upbeat. After less than a day at Palomar Vista she was physically ill, was not receiving her medications, had slurred/slow speech, and was vomiting from the food. The …
