My mom needed to rehab there for about three weeks, and both she and I were so grateful for the care, attention to detail, and compassion of the entire staff. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, and cared about her healing and having success. Everything is clean, well cared for, and even the kitchen helped make things easier for her and her allergies. I highly recommend if you’re in the situation where you need short-term rehab care For a loved one

I have had many friends do rehab at Pacifica Rehab and they improved greatly. I have enjoyed the friendliness of the staff. They are always gracious when I have questions.

The kindness and willingness to help at this rehab center make the road to recovery so much easier. There are enough staff members that you never feel left without help, and that makes a real difference. From assistance with showers to daily exercise, they pay attention to the care each person needs. Of all the rehab centers I have visited, this is the one I would recommend above the others. The staff truly care, and it shows in the way they treat people every day. Gilbert

Honestly don't understand how this place has a high rating and I would give 0 stars if possible. The staff is negligent and rude beyond belief and my grandfather almost died within the first 3 days of his stay. He has Parkinsons and trouble communicating so instead of ensuring his needs were met they just walked out of the room in frustration and ignored him. We were told that there would be a dietician managing his diet because he is DIABETIC. This was not the case and he was being served things like pancakes and juice. Then when we could finally bring his sugar down they gave him cough syrup, bringing it right back up again. He even requested something as simple as to not turn off the lights at night because he needs it and cannot see well. Of course this was ignored, and he ended up urinating all over himself because he could not see well enough to use the bathroom correctly. We tried to talk to the charge nurse on duty about how we can improve his care and she was extremely argumentative and dismissive of our experience. No one in this facility had an ounce of empathy and were completely incompetent when it came to patient care. My grandfather is now back in the hospital on the verge of a heart attack due to their negligence. If you have a loved one with extensive medical issues do not send them here if you want them to get better.

Would have loved to give 5 stars. There were employees that could have had less of an attitude when asked for assistance, however I believe they will adjust and become better. Folks that work in healthcare are truly special and are greatly appreciated. I’m sure they make personal sacrifices to help others. It is a job that one cannot be there just for the paycheck. Their hearts and minds have to be in the right place as so many people in need rely on them for the help that they need. Thank you to the staff that touched my mom’s heart during her stay!

My 90 year-old mom was here six months ago, and unfortunately she had another fall and Is in need of a skilled nursing facility again. Fortunately, thanks to the amazing admissions coordinator Fatima, she will be able to take advantage of the wonderful care offered here. This place has no equal. Amazing location/facility/staff. Count yourself lucky if you can get a bed here!

Mother is currently staying at this location based on all the wonderful reviews. Now I see why. Mother is constantly taken care of and motivated and encouraged to move PT staff Michelle, Kim to name a few people )so she can get back to her old self. The staff(nurses, cno and pt) is so caring. They take care of you, makes sure you are comfortable and their main goal is for the patient to become independent again. That is their goal especially since she was in the hospital bed for 2 weeks and her legs became weak. She can move around without any help. I am so grateful for their help and compassion. Updated: 08/07/2026 Mom is back. She fractured her hip. She was previously admitted for her pneumonia treatment (2 months ago) and now her hip fracture. She chose to come back to Pacifica nursing to do her rehab due to her special bond with all the nurses (Alma) and P/T staff (Michelle, Kim to name a few). Their care and dedication that they have provided to my mother is amazing. She has made so much progress in the last couple of weeks. Thank you for taking care of our mother and everyone mother’s ,father’s , sister’s or brother’s.

The Pacifica Nursing & Rehab Center is very clean, the staff professional and very loving, responsive and organized. An elderly family member returned home after being there for almost 8 weeks. I was impressed. They are very experienced and keep families and patients on track with medication, appointments, dealing with insurance and most importantly, knowing what to expect every step of the way.

As a patient recovering from a complex surgery, I was referred to Pacifica Nursing & Rehab Center for rehabilitation. Despite being in-network with my insurance provider, Cigna, Pacifica declined to admit me because they claim the insurer owes them for other patients’ unpaid claims. This refusal of care had nothing to do with my case or medical need - it was purely a financial decision on their part. No recovering patient should face denial of treatment over business disputes unrelated to their situation. Their refusal delayed my recovery and caused unnecessary stress during a time when I should have been focusing on healing. I hope no other patient has to experience this kind of disregard for basic care and compassion.

The rooms are clean, it can get a little crowded, with all the equipment needed to take care of the patients. The staff were efficient and friendly. They were very helpful and forthright.

My husband Arturo B. was a patient at this facility for three weeks. The care and dedication on behalf of the staff , therapists and Dr. Murphy was beyond anything we expected. I would definitely recommend this facility.

A member of family was there for broken pelvic. Everything was very well except food. Menu did not seem healthy. Serving eggs frequently; morning scramble eggs for breakfast and for dinner chef salad with boiled eggs. There was not enough vegetables either cooked or raw as salad on the plate. It's much healthier that Patients have more vegi as well as fresh fruits with their diets. Also, it's good to include soups with vegi and beans with piece of good bread for lunch or dinner. The rooms were crowded. some of patients did have many visitors; the noise and space not tolerable for other patients in the room.

My client is in Pacifica Nursing & Rehab Center. They have a lot of sick people in their hands, and it seems like they're really busy. He's been in a single room, double room, and triple room, and I think the double room is the maximum that can work because when there's two other people in the room, and there's no way to get any rest. I would say it’s clean, but I wouldn't say it's spacious. He said the food is very good. They have a recreation room and lots of things to do posted on the elevator. There's plenty of activities.

Everything at Pacifica was excellent. I couldn’t ask for anything better. They had activities, but my mother was in hospice, so she didn’t get to any. They just got her up and took her to the table to eat with the rest of the ladies. The staff was very good. Each wing had their own dining room.

I chose Pacifica for my grandmother because the other ones I looked were nasty. She fell and broke her leg. Everything is perfect there. The people working there are wonderful. The place is very clean and there is no smell. They have everything. I loved it there.

Now that I'm looking into places for my aging father, I did notice this chance to at the least offer others my personal experience. Back in '05 when my father was recommended by his doctor @ Kaiser SSF to stay here until his amputated left could heal with that vac machine on it. Well, there is a sound that machine gives off that indicates for someone to turn it off when there's an issue, like if it pumps the bacteria is sucks from a wound back into it, which is what happened to my father causing gang-green. There were workers present, but it seems as if none of them even knew their job when checking in, as I was told they did often. I believe some are not qualified to take care of patients & just received the job through a friend. Most around looked like that. Anyways, for it not for a late evening doctor making her rounds & checking in on my father and noticing the machine & his entire complexion like a ghost he would have died. They then rushed him into a surgery that wasn't needed. At first the vac machine was to heal only his pinky toe that was amputated, now they had to cut all of his toes. I guess at the least he got to keep his heel.

My mother was a resident twice at this facility for rehabilitation after her two hip surgeries. She is 85 years old so, of course, we were very concerned about her welfare, especially since the surgeries were only 6 months apart. Each time she stayed at this facility approximately 3 weeks to regain the strength in her legs. I cannot compliment the staff enough for doing all that they could to help her recuperate and become independent again. They were attentive to her needs regarding medication issues, infection protocols and diet preferences. The physical therapists were extraordinary and diligent about getting my mother to exercise and she continues today to use the plan that they provided. All of the staff were caring and well organized. The facility is very clean and the activities were varied and plentiful. We were at ease during her stay which says a lot about this facility! I would highly recommend this facility for your loved one.

My grandmother's last days were spent in The Greenery in Pacifica, California. Initially, I was impressed with the cleanliness, smell and furnishings in the lobby and the first floor area. Also, across the street, a gazebo was available for outdoor visiting. I saw happy care providers that did not seem burdened with their duties, and seemed to greet passers by with regularity. I noticed a bingo game happening in a large parlor like area which was furnished with comfortable chairs and small sofas, the patients spread out sitting where THEY liked. Lots of windows brightened the room and the building was also well lit. The hallways were nice and wide for wheelchair patients, and the bathrooms were decent size and smelled fresh. My grandmother loved this facility, I believe, because of the many vantage points providing a glimpse of the ocean. All in all a great visit, I would recommend this facility to all of my friends if faced with a difficult choice regarding a parent.

My grandmother had a stroke and required to be in an assisted living facility. Here at Pacifica Nursing and Rehab Center they took great care of her. She was never left alone for long. The only thing she did not like while she was there was her constant change of roommates. There was a constant flow of people in and out and they could have organized rooming better to keep the long term tenants/patients together. They always had her day planed out for her and the food was decent. She did not like the rehab facility though and constantly complained that they did push her a little too far. She was eighty-eight years old and getting her back to walking was not our biggest concern. The emphasis the staff felt was what was addressed not what the family or doctors originally thought. This did cause for some concern since we did just want her to get better. They were very attentive to her needs and she was never left to have no bathroom time and she always was fed or given water when she needed. There was always an attendant there to make sure she did not have a problem. The staff was also very gracious with visiting hours. I would recommend this for a temporary assisted living facility.

My mother had just broken her hip and we didn't know where to bring her for her rehab. PNR exceeded our expectations with their kind and professional staff, their ability to provide the care needed, and the wonderful environment surrounding these services. Thanks to PNR, my mother successfully recuperated and is now enjoying an active life with her family and friends.
