I stayed at this facility for two weeks. Great management, great staff. Especially Rose the social worker, Mary the CNA and Virgo at the physical therapy department.

If you can’t afford anything else and you’re down on hard times and really need medical attention. This is the place to go. It’s not fabulous. Cleanliness is mediocre, but it is what it is.

Patient was here from August to January 2026. Giving this an 1 star is far from what it should be. Our family member was given an intake and the doctor deemed him incompetent.(family did now this) The staff knew that his wife was his POA in all medical decisions with proper paperwork. The doctor there never spoke too/saw his wife at all when he was present. Without even speaking with the wife or the social worker he deemed the patient incompetent and called SSA to let them know he needed a payee. Which was confusing why the case worker did not tell the doctor his has an POA which is his wife. The doctor said he will not get any better and needs long term so no more PT for the patient. The social worker (Rose)does not return any calls,or keep family updated. Patient wife is there 6 days a wk and never can talk to the social worker. The social worker told the wife on a Friday that his discharge date was that Monday. Family could not do anything due to the wife was told actually at 4:55pm. The wife had to wait til Monday to find out what's going on. Then the corporate called and told the wife he was to be discharged due to Medicare stop paying and was being transferred. The wife told corporate that she was appealing it since she feels he was not ready to be released . After that the care got worse. The family felt the lack of care got worse once they filed the appeal. The social worker told the wife 2 times prior her leaving for the day he is being transfer. The patient wife told the social worker Rose no he is not and by law they can not because they have meeting for the appeal. The appeal was denied, the social worker Rose called the wife 1 1/2 hr prior to let her know it was denied and patient was being transferred at 2pm. The wife said no because she was not notified from Medicare and by law she has be notified. The social worker Rose told the wife if she denies his transfer she was calling the police on them. The wife inform Rose that she could do that but the police would tell her it is a civil matter and she has POA so its her choice to deny it. The wife inform Rose legally by law he has 24hrs to leave from notication of the appeal denial, and to not touch his belonging since she will be there to get them. Rose said okay and hung up on the wife. When The wife and family showed up patient belongs were packed all in plastic bags like he was not a human being and thrown on his bed. Corporate showed up to make sure his stuff was packed in boxes which they were not. The wife showed him and told him what she told the social worker Rose and he pulled Rose into a room with the head nurse. During the Medicare appeal meeting the patient wife asked how can this doctor make this decision if he only saw my husband once,why has he never talked to me to ask questions about his medicine,daily routine prior coming in and etc.. The doctor stated in the appeal meeting he did not have to talk to the family but, he has seen her there with the patient. Why the social worker did not step in and inform the doctor that he has too due to she is his POA. Family feels that is unacceptable! This facility changes medicine or stop it without letting them know. Also,the family is questioning some info on his charts. Patients was hospitalize for covid for wk and when family got his chart it shows that whole week of his blood sugar reading. How is that if he was hospitalized for covid. When calling to ask questions the family just got no call backs. The same doctor at Almaden is the same one that goes to White Blossom nursing facility. I would be aware of this when looking into facilities. Corporate guy that was there said, he knows that the doctor does not talk to the family and they are working on it. So corporate is very aware of how their doctor is doing stuff. Below is pictures of how they packed the patient belongs. Yes, the facility is clean but the staff is lazy. Make sure mark everything that comes in since stuff was stolen and we still never got or etc....

I'm surprised this facility hasn't had any law suits. The nursing staff is very careless and there are medication errors all the time. If the resident doesn't know their medication then I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't getting the correct amount or correct medication. The Good LVN's they've had just end up quitting because they can no longer put up with the Director of Nursing. Most of the CNA's are good. There are some who'd rather be on their phones than answer a call light. The food is HORRIBLE! All of the kitchen staff is unable to read the tags for the trays. You end up getting food your not supposed to get. A lot of the food is expired and served several days in a row just in different ways. The showers have black mold inside and need to be fixed. I wouldn't recommend sending any family member here!

My mother-in-law stayed in this facility for almost 5 weeks for rehabilitation. The entire staff (nursing, therapy and CNA) were very courteous to my mother-in-law who is a non-native English speaker. They worked with her very patiently to ensure that she ate her meals, took her medications and regain her physical strength to sit, stand and walk using a walker. Overall we were very happy with the services provided by the staff at this facility and it enabled her to come home.

On Valentine's Day, 2/14/2025 (Friday), I called Almaden Health & Rehabilitation because my sister was not answering her phone. I live out of state and wanted to wish her a Happy Valentine's Day. I called the facility main number three times. The first and second times, I was placed on hold. I may have been forgotten. I called a third time, and the call was answered. I left my phone number for a call back with an update regarding my sister wellbeing. Saturday, 3:51 p.m. EST, I am still waiting. All I wanted was a simple update regarding my sister. I understand nurses work long hours, and I appreciate the work they do. I am disappointed with the lack of communication. Thank you for reading my review. Best regards.

Worst behavior I have ever seen at a clinic. Here are just some examples I experienced after we admitted my mother to this location. My 75-year-old father was sent a threatening letter from Almaden, claiming he owes them $57,000. The letter expressed that the clinic would terminate my paralyzed mother’s hospice care, unless my father pays them. My father proved to them through the insurance documentation and medical dates, he doesn’t owe them, because the clinic did not contact my mother’s insurance. We then were scheduled for a meeting with Phil Greene. Seven other staff members were also in the room, intentionally distracting my father, while one nurse slid over a paper and tried to get him to quickly sign it. He stopped all conversations in the room and read the paper, which stated he would be responsible for all insurance costs to Almaden. He handed the paper back to them, explaining that the clinic failing to inform the correct insurance company, is not his responsibility. They also have an accusatory staff. When asked to describe my mother’s nurse. I was called a racist, for saying “filipino nurse,” by a RN named June. The patient coordinator named Agnes Santos, never interacted with my mother, but called me numerous times with questions about her. Such as, how many showers and walks my mother takes each day. My paralyzed mother was obviously incapable of this, so I asked if she knew anything about my mom. She then accused me of being distracted at work and too busy, then hung up on me, while I was responding to her. This was the worst behaved clinical staff I have ever encountered.

I think Almaden Health & Rehab Center is a good place. I don’t really have any complaints. My mother’s complaints would probably be that a lot of the staff doesn’t speak English very well and do not understand what she’s saying. When she says that she needs something, they touch everything to see what she’s talking about. I would say that the care she is receiving is good. The community seems very clean. I don’t think you can really help the food. When you’re on a certain kind of diet, it can be boring.

I was in Almaden Health and Rehabilitation Center for nine months. They manage how much you go out. They bring you food. There's a little space in the room that you share. There's a little closet. The last six months has been a nightmare because my roommate had Alzheimer's. They couldn't shut her up. I couldn't take it. She would drive me nuts and I would start crying. They moved her out two weeks before I left but I could still hear her at the other side of the nursing home. The nurses were good for the most part. I have one that anytime we told him anything, he would start laughing. A couple of the nurses were really good. But some had attitude.
