Reviews
Choosing where to recover, or where a parent will stay, is a decision most families make only once and badly want to get right. The people best placed to help with that are the ones who have already been through it. Residents and their families have written about what their stay here was actually like, from the therapy that got them home to the small kindnesses that made a hard week easier. Their words will tell you more about this place than ours can.
well the rehab place that i will be leaving tomorrow it is a really nice place to recover there are all types of people we have doctors here nurses and CNA’s that contribute to recover sometimes it might feel like they are bothering you to do this and then around the corner are another person are really trying to help you i would refer this rehab place to anyone that is trying to get well and some time we as patients need to let them do their job because i’m really glad that i stayed there because it really helped me in a lot of ways very clean and the people that cooks the food let’s not forget them the food is very good. So if you’re looking for a great place to recovery try . Pleasant Hill – Post Acute. I would love to give every there a shout out thanks everyone.
Everyone – and I mean everyone – on the staff was exceptionally cheerful, kind, and helpful. They competently cared for individuals with a variety of serious medical needs and were always respectful. The operation was well organized, with good communication between departments. Even though staff members are assigned to certain locations, when something is needed immediately whoever is near helps out. There are too many people to name, but I especially want to thank Sarah in occupational therapy for showing me how to take care of my arm after surgery. I was only there a short time, and I learned the skills needed to properly heal and care for myself on my own. There are generally two people per room with a privacy curtain in between. In the pleasant community rooms, people could gather for movies or participate in staff-led crafts. The meals were filling, and snacks were available. If you didn’t like what was on the menu, you could choose a different meal. When my guests came to visit at dinner time, their needs were easily accommodated. They could use the microwave or borrow utensils and plates without fanfare. I was happy with the care I received when I needed it.
I am so happy that I had so much care and love at this facility. whenever I pressed my call light they were very attentive and answered right away. I would like to give a special shout out to the nurses and nursing assistants Martha, Jacky, Dahlia, Reannen and Helen. I enjoyed going to the activity room with Claire where we did a bunch of fun activities and I very much enjoyed receiving her daily newsletters. The food was also very good. The entire housekeeping crew were great and always willing to help. Overall I would recommend my closest friend and whoever I meet to stay at this rehab facility. Thank you everyone.
I have stayed at this facility multiple times, and each time they have exceeded my expectations. I cannot say enough positive things about the entire team and the care I have received. The therapy team, especially Nikki, is truly top-notch. They were essential in helping me get stronger, recover, and feel ready to return home. The nurses were diligent, attentive, and always made sure I had everything I needed. The CNAs, especially Evelyn, Eveling, and Jocelyn, were kind, compassionate, helpful, and quick to respond whenever I needed assistance. I also want to thank Claire the Activity Director. She helped me organize my paperwork, assisted me with whatever I needed, and went above and beyond to make my stay a positive experience. She made my experience more enjoyable and, gave me a reason to get out of bed each day. I am very grateful to the entire team for the care, kindness, and support they provided. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who needs post-acute care. They truly have an amazing team!

Dining
Meals are planned by a registered dietitian and prepared to meet your dietary orders, whether that means a modified texture, a low-sodium plan or a diabetic diet. If something isn’t working for you, tell us. We’ll adjust it.
Social Services

Questions About Insurance?
Figuring out what your plan covers is often the most stressful part of arranging care, and it’s rarely something families have done before. We accept Medicare, Medi-Cal, private pay, and most major HMO and PPO plans. Our team will verify your benefits before admission and walk you through what’s covered, what isn’t, and what you can expect to pay. Ask us early, because knowing the answer makes every other decision easier.
Send a Greeting
When you can’t be here in person, a note still arrives. Choose a card, write your message, and we’ll make sure it reaches your loved one. It takes a minute and it can change someone’s whole afternoon.
