  Our family is incredibly grateful for the care and support our loved one received at South Marin Health & Wellness. From the moment we arrived, we experienced a level of compassion, professionalism, and dignity that made an extraordinarily difficult period feel more manageable. I want to give special recognition to several members of the team. Kelly and the Social Work Team were exceptional—responsive, thoughtful, compassionate, and consistently willing to help navigate the many complexities that come with a skilled nursing stay. Ashley and the Rehab Team provided outstanding clinical care and encouragement, helping support meaningful progress while treating our loved one with patience and respect. April and the nursing staff deserve tremendous appreciation as well. Their dedication, attentiveness, and commitment to providing quality care were evident day after day. The work they do is demanding, and we were grateful for the kindness and professionalism they brought to it. And a special thank you to Kyle, whose leadership of the facility has clearly established a culture and tone centered on compassion, professionalism, respect, and dignity. Those values aren’t simply words—they are reflected in the way the team interacts with patients and families and in the care and services they deliver. South Marin Health & Wellness is fortunate to have such a dedicated group of people. For families navigating what can be an incredibly stressful and vulnerable time, having a team that genuinely cares makes an enormous difference. We are deeply grateful to Kelly, Ashley, April, Kyle, and the entire South Marin team for the care they provided and the humanity with which they provided it. Thank you.

  Kelly Alrich, director of social services at South Marin, while somewhat responsible, lately has been an incredible flake and has repeatedly failed to keep her commitments to her duties and patients. Jim Arena, President, Academic Therapy Publications

  My 95 yr old father recently, and successfully, spent 3+ weeks at South Marin Health and Wellness, and he's asked me to write this review expressing his deepest thanks. After a painful weeklong hospitalization, my dad entered SMHW very frail and tired, in dire need of physical and occupational therapy, which he consistently received from a professional cadre of therapists, supported by nurses, ostomy specialists, cleaning attendants, case management, medication management, doctors, and every day staff that delivered and coordinated his everyday needs. Little by little, he regained his strength and his ability to return home. He, and our family, sincerely want to acknowledge, give thanks to, and recommend SMHW, from top to bottom, for their professionalism and compassionate care. Excellent health care isn't easy to deliver (and even harder to find), but SMHW's commitment to it was on daily display for 3 solid weeks. We unequivocally recommended it.

  Thanks to the Kimberly, to the discharge team, the nursing staff, and all the excellent therapist. My mom had an amazing stay here after knee revision surgery, she’s stayed at other skilled nursing facilities and this was her best stay. I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

  A huge thank you to South Marin Health and Wellness for taking such excellent care of my husband. They provided exceptional care and were readily available to help with any and all of his needs. Shae in admissions, Kelly the social worker, Ciara in nursing, and Gabriel his caregiver, just to name a few, were always available to family members, and addressed and solved all concerns that arose. The OT and PT staff are way above par. I felt very fortunate to know he was being so well taken care of.

  My Mother has (unfortunately) needed rehab stays several times in the last few years at multiple facilities. South Marin is by far the best. Their PT (what she tends to need most) is terrific - the PT therapists seem to experience little turnover as the same individuals have provided PT for my mom over several stays. Despite being very busy, the social workers are also very helpful. And Dr. Susan Nguyen (the hospitalist there) is wonderful - caring, smart, and on it. Rehab isn't fun, the facilities are all really busy and frustrations are inevitable. But we will keep requesting South Marin when my Mom needs it b/c it's the best around.

  My mom has been here for over a year. Her dementia is getting worse and they are always here to support her. The staff is excellent, food is awesome, and they go out of their way to make my mom feel comfortable in her new home. Oh, and all of the residents are super nice as well!

  South Marin is conveniently tucked away next to the doctor’s offices on South Eliseo and walking distance to Marin Health Medical Hospital. The location is handy, but it is the kind, compassionate, knowledgeable care provided by the nurses and staff that makes South Marin a good place to stay for rehabilitation. The gym is open everyday, and the Physical Therapists are hard working, conscientious and strive to help the patients get back on their feet. The food is good with a wide variety available. Everyday there are different activities including the ever popular Karaoke and many different movies. There is a small patio outside and a very pleasant interior atrium. Dr Wynn, the attending physician at Marin General, recommended South Marin and it turned out to be an excellent choice. - Michael Brink- April 2025- June 2025

  I think South Marin Health & Wellness Center had some good people, but they're somewhat understaffed, and COVID was a major factor. They're a decent place and one of the better places around, but none of these places are perfect. My friend wasn't real pleased with her therapy there. She fell a couple of times because she needed something and they're a little bit slow to come and help her. Then one of the times she had to go back to the hospital because of that, but I liked the setting. They had a nice outdoor area, but unfortunately, shortly after she went in, that went under construction. It would be nice to have outdoor places where you can go and meet with family, friends or whatever. They're still a good place for me though. Her room was a shared one, so it was not spacious but it was clean.

  I was a patient at South Marin Health and Wellness for 19 days in September, and will be returning there by choice next week after surgery. I had never been a patient in a care facility and was not sure what I was in for, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. In short, I loved it there, because of the professional, kind and responsive staff at all levels. All my needs were safely taken care of. Because of Covid (which I don’t think they’ve ever had there), their social and recreational activities were limited, but I didn’t care. I could visit with friends and family through a screened window. I felt safe, accepted, well fed and taken care of. What more could I have needed?

  The rehab center my mother was at was Kindred Care, and we were not pleased with them. The feel and look were good. They had great physical therapists, but the actual care was not good. The aides and nurses let my mother yell and scream at night without getting her any help. All they did was move her to a room further away from the other residents. They did not call in the doctor to see what was wrong. It turns out that she needed medication for her oncoming dementia. Also, they had her in the disposable diapers but did not change them on a regular basis, and she kept telling them she needed to go to the bathroom. It would be like four hours, so she got a terrible diaper rash and bed sores. The actual living conditions were poor. They should improve on their actual care of the patient.

  Kindred was a local skilled nursing facility. Mom came out of the hospital and we immediately put her in there. She does a lot of physical therapy. She's getting stronger, so she's regaining her strength. The staff is outstanding, very professional, very courteous and did their job very well. The room is very nice. It's kind of almost like a hospital room.

  The place was clean and quite. The staff was friendly and helpful the only draw back was that the rooms were small and they had at least 2 people to a room. We were looking for a facility that would have a privet room for her since patients with mental illnesses tend to be loud and not always clean hygiene. The facility seemed to have interesting activities for older people and the facility itself seemed to be well maintained. Many of the facilities that we visited including this one had many patients that really needed to be put in their own rooms due to their conditions i.e. dementia but for what ever reason (I suspect cost) they are put in to small rooms with 1 to 2 other patients. I personally feel this is bad practice but don't blame the facility's necessarily. Ultimately we decided that this facility would be a bad fit for our situation.
