    Compassionate staff, excellent rehab experience

    I stayed here for rehab and had a very good experience. The staff and caregivers - including a compassionate, proactive therapy team and an attentive administrator - supported a quick, seamless recovery with outstanding family communication. My large, well-decorated room felt homey, the facility was spotless, meals were excellent, and activities kept me engaged; I'd recommend this place.

    About The Californian

    The Californian is a boutique skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility that's been in the community since 1963, and folks usually notice it's earned a five-star rating from CMS along with high marks from Medicare and US News, which tells you the quality's good but really what stands out is their focus on helping people get stronger and feel better whether you need short-term rehab or long-term care, because they have 24-hour nursing so staff are always ready, and you can get personalized care plans, plus restorative nursing to help folks regain strength and independence. People can use physical, speech, and occupational therapy, and since the bedrooms are spacious and easy to move around in, it's a little less stressful for those who might use walkers or wheelchairs, and residents even get their own kitchenettes if they'd like to prepare meals. Wi-Fi reaches every room, and there's cable TV available, so folks have some comforts and can keep up with the world or talk to their families, and for those who need to go out, daily transportation is available, which really helps. The place has a gym along with living areas, so people can work on staying strong or just relax with neighbors, and all the regular amenities are there to try and make life better, but mostly it's just about steady care and having support you can count on if you or someone you care about needs a skilled nursing facility or help with rehabilitation.
