Marin Post Acute truly sets the standard for skilled nursing care in Marin County. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed by a warm, friendly team and a campus that is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and inviting. What stands out most is the level of expertise and compassion every staff member brings to their role. Whether caring for patients with complex medical needs or simply taking the time to brighten someone's day, the team delivers outstanding care with genuine professionalism and heart. A special thank you to Director of Marketing Romi, who is always approachable, knowledgeable, and willing to answer questions about Medicare benefits or provide a thoughtful tour of the facility. Navigating post-acute care can feel overwhelming, and Romi makes the process easy and reassuring. Director of Nursing Angie is an incredible leader whose empathy shines through in every interaction. Her commitment to excellence is reflected throughout the clinical team, creating an environment where patients are treated with dignity, respect, and personalized care. If you or someone you love is looking for a skilled nursing facility that combines clinical excellence with heartfelt compassion, Marin Post Acute is the place to be.

My mother is currently receiving rehabilitation at Marin Post Acute, and I want to recognize the incredible team caring for her. The PT/OT department is excellent, knowledgeable, supportive, consistent in helping her regain strength and mobility. The nursing staff has been equally impressive, delivering outstanding, exceptional care with kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail every day have made a meaningful difference in her comfort and progress. The doctor has also been wonderful, taking the time to explain her treatment plan, check in regularly, and make sure her recovery is on track. We’re grateful for the dedication and compassion shown by everyone involved in her care.

Recently I spent five weeks at the Marin Post Acute rehabilitation center due to a total knee replacement surgery. If you or anyone you know needs a rehabilitation facility in Marin, this is the place to go. Let me tell you why. Everybody that works here is caring, very kind, attentive, and competent. When you enter the facility, you can see how clean it is, so are the rooms thanks to a great Housekeeping team. The Physical therapy and Occupational therapy team rocks! Excellent therapy sessions-the best- and excellent therapists. The Social Services team offers numerous interesting activities to choose from! The Nursing team and the assistants are awesome! Amazing! Very kind and competent. All my medical needs were handled daily as well as at night. I felt really taken care of and could relax knowing I was in good hands. It also helped that, due to my insurance, I was placed in a private room. I hope this review helps you in your decision when you need a rehabilitation facility. They are the best!

My mom had a great experience here. The staff was so kind to her. The PT & OT department with Tamara, Peter, Julianna, Jose, Gloria, Patrick, KC, Martin, JayJay were wonderful and really got her up and running-ok, walking-but that’s exactly what she needed. Nurses and CNAS were wonderful as well, Joy, Angela, Glenise, Madeline, Francesca, Manoucheka, Mercy, Eduardo…. All helped with keeping her pain at bay and her stay more pleasant. It’s not easy for my mom as a retired RN to be on the other side receiving the care instead of giving it but all these people, and others that I might of missed by name all made her stay a pleasant one. Thank you for helping in her healing process!

What a wonderful and dedicated team that Dan has assembled with JJ, Patrick, Jose, Martin, Tamara and all the rest of the therapist men and women. They push your abilities when necessary and know when you're hitting your own limits. Very grateful for all of the help this group provided for me to gain the strength and confidence to get me back home. It is easy to see and a joy to work with such a finely tuned program that work so well together. High praise for this outfit and a hearty recommendation for anyone thinking about using this facility.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire team at Marin Post Acute for the care and support I received my rehabilitation an accident. From the very beginning,I was surrounded by kindness, patience, and professionalism. A very special thank you to Carolyn Tucker (SSD) , the nurses, and all CNA staff for their warmth, attentiveness and daily support. I am also very grateful to the gym and rehab team for their support during my recovery. I especially want to thank Jay-Jay my trainer, for his help, encouragement, professionalism. I would also like to thank the activities and recreation team for bringing positivity, friendliness, and comfort to patients. I will always remember the support and care I received here. Thank you so much to the entire team for helping me through one of the most difficult periods of my life.

After 3 months in this facility I want to compliment them on their smooth operation and their extraordinary staff. And Ana Benitez (the administrator in charge of social services) in particular, for her kindness and professionalism. I’m about to be discharged in a couple of days, and I’m looking forward to visiting occasionally to see all the staff people who have helped me. I’ll miss them and their warm smiles…

First of all, I have to start with Ana, the Social Services Director. Ana helped me through a very difficult time with my mother and is still helping me. She went above and beyond to support my mom and our family. Her kindness and empathy and general dedication to her position is admirable. Ana has been a saint for us. As to the facility, these places are always a tad difficult for one to visit, but Marin Post Acute tries very hard to change that. The facility is super clean and the rooms are very nice. The staff is attentive and always kind. The visiting doctors, especially Dr. Brindley are amazing. The nurses, CNAs and front desk people, all so helpful and kind. Stephan the entertainment or event coordinator is so cheerful, he knew all the long term patients names. My mom was in another facility a few years ago for a brief stay and it didn't come close to this place. I am very grateful to Marin Post Acute and I hope they continue to keep striving to be the best, because the effort really shows right now. Thank you to all the staff, too many to name, for all the care you have given and continue to give my mom. Things to improve would be the phone system, it can be very difficult to get through. Also some of the phones in the rooms don't work. That said, I have noticed an improvement in last few days so maybe that is already being worked on. Keep it up MPA, you are really doing a good job!
