Bad communication. Bad care. REALLY Bad food. Bad beds. Not enough water. Medicine always late. They go through your stuff. 26 patients to 1 nurse at night. You are expected to poop the bed when short staffed. They let your wounds get worse. Nurses take breaks and no one available to help. They need more staff

Everybody is so good to me here. The CNAs and nurses are great. The food is better here even than stanford. The facility is also very pleasant. Everybody comes and tries to help me if I ever need anything.

Good and bad,good CNAs and nurses,but understaffed which makes it hard to get help at times They need a communication department,patients are not always aware of services available like eye care,podiatry,psychiatry,even dentistry. All of these services are there but somewhat limited in actual practice.

The staff at this facility are very supportive and helpful , including the admission head My, the nursing head Silvia and her team ( Cameron , Sara, Sami, Jackie, Victoria, Ilena, Kaydian ) the head of therapy Drew and her staff ( Rashmi, Jenny, Christine, Amanda, Austin ) the social workers and the receptionist Ahba, the nutritionist Ben and the administrative assistant Tyson…. Their kindness and supports really made my husband’s stay after his neck surgery a very smooth and productive one. We really appreciated.

After my car accident I spent two months at this great facility. The most important thing at this facility is the staff, nursing, physical therapy. The other most important thing is that this place is very clean. They clean all of the time. If you have to be in rehab ever, I definitely recommend atherton

Daniel has been a very helpful and the PT team has been great overall. When I was sick when I got here he nursed me to get better and encouraged me to get out of bed and take part in therapy and activities. Ruby has also been awesome to me. The physical therapy is really paying off to help me complete the program. They are getting me to walk which was a challenge I had. Thank you Atherton!

The staff is excellent. They really do tend to your needs. There are some good personalities, especially in the therapy department. They want you to get whatever your problem is solved quickly so you can return to your home.

Very grateful for the staff at Atherton Park Post Acute. Everyone there works so hard and cares so much about the residents. The entire management team is tremendous and always willing to stop whatever they’re doing to help. There is no better SNF in the area. If you want your loved one to be taken care of, I highly recommend Atherton Park!

Although the first floor looks decent, the second floor onward where the rooms are are basically falling apart. Equipment and furniture are old/worn out and for some reason always short on either clean linen or supplies. Food is nothing to write home about. Their OT/PT are wonderful to work with, most of the nurses and CNA are caring and helpful, but they appear to be over-worked, almost impossible to get help during the night. Doctors only show up once a week in the most perfunctory manner. The management people are unscrupulous and seems to have communication issues with their staff. All in all I will not recommend this place.

The first floor looks new and remodeled but the upper floors are terrible, especially the second floor. Patients come and get sent back to the hospital for falls, Patients wait a long time for help and often fall cause they're tired of waiting, some rooms have moldy furniture, the water is either too hot or too cold, the overnight staff sleeps instead of attending to patients, and management covers up patient care issues. If you want great care, go somewhere else.

I visited facility several times. Staff immediately approached me smiling and offered help. Facility is very clean and patients look very happy. I asked one of the patient if she likes the place and she replied it's the best nursing home in the area. I was convinced after I was given a tour of the facility, that place is very well managed, owners care about their residents and employees.
