Stanford Court Skilled Nursing & Rehab Center sits right in Santee, California, and is one of just two options in the area. The place runs as a for-profit corporation and stays pretty full, with over 83% occupancy most of the time. People there find both short-term and long-term care, and the state gives the overall facility a B-plus grade, with the short-term care program earning a solid A and long-term care a B-plus. The nursing staff includes registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, working round the clock, while therapy happens every day of the week and includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
Special services offered include medication management, stroke and cardiac therapy, nutritional counseling, pain management, and rehab for orthopedic conditions like hip and knee replacements, back strains, arthritis, and tendonitis. The center can help people recover after surgery, illness, or injury, and post-operative and wound care management are also part of the program. A case manager helps people and families understand care plans and work through their recovery process.
Stanford Court has Medicare and Medicaid certification. It houses more than 100 residents in private and semiprivate rooms, each equipped with a spa shower, personal phone line, standard cable TV, and wireless internet. The facility stands out with a courtyard featuring a koi pond with a rock waterfall, an aviary, an aquarium, and pet-friendly spaces. The dining room offers fine dining, and people can join in with a resident council to share their thoughts though there's no family council.
Therapists, speech/language pathologists, dietitians, and occupational therapists work on staff, and treatment programs use modern tools like LiteGait training, E-Stim, light therapy, ultrasound, and VitalStim. Rehabilitation can happen both while staying at the facility or on an outpatient basis. Staff help people build skills for home safety and perception, and there's support for stroke recovery, memory care, mental health, and behavioral health needs. The whole setting aims for a personalized recovery, helping people move to lower levels of care or back home when possible.
Stanford Court Skilled Nursing & Rehab Center has a B-plus inspection score from regulators and keeps a steady, experienced team. Visiting hours run daily from 8:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening. There are a few small technology problems from time to time, but the facility continues working to meet people's needs with respect and care, keeping the focus on comfort, safety, and recovery. A virtual tour is available for those who want to see the place before coming in.
