Pleasant Hill Post Acute
About Us
Pleasant Hill Post Acute is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Pleasant Hill, in the state of California, specializing in short-term recovery, complex wound care and heart failure management.
The Pleasant Hill Post Acute Mission
The majority residents are either coming off surgery or ill or recently discharged from a hospital, and most would prefer to be someplace else. We purposefully keep our facility small so that with fewer people to know, our nurses and therapists actually know them, and an individualized care plan is far more effective than one that was developed for a generic classification.
Our multidisciplinary team comes together to develop the plan, observes your progress, and modifies it based on your recovery process. We live up to the clinical standards of a complex post-acute environment, and our quality measures have received the maximum five-star rating from CMS. The feeling we want you to have is one that doesn’t require a rating but simply one of being in a comfortable place where everyone knows you, and the whole team is pulling in the same direction as you.
Our Team
It is the people who work here who give the place its character. Our nurses, our therapists, our dieticians, our social services personnel, and our housekeeping staff all know the faces that they see every day, and they develop into the type of attentiveness that cannot be planned for. Here, care really is interdisciplinary. Physicians, nurses, therapists, and social services meet together to craft your plan and refine it as time goes on. Know the departments you will be dealing with.
Leadership Team
Our administrator, admissions and marketing leads keep the building running and answer the questions families bring through the door. In a place this size, they’re genuinely easy to reach.
Nursing / Clinical Staff
Our nursing and clinical directors lead a team of RNs, LVNs and CNAs on-site around the clock. They’ll know your name and your chart before your first full day here is over.
Therapy / Rehabilitation
Our therapy and rehabilitation directors lead a team of physical, occupational and speech therapists working seven days a week toward one goal: getting you back home.
Social Services & Activities
Our social services and activities directors handle discharge planning, family meetings and the daily calendar. They’re who you talk to when something feels complicated.
Dietary Services
Our dietary team and registered dietitian plan meals around your medical orders and your actual preferences. If something isn’t working for you, tell them and they’ll change it.
Environmental Services
Housekeeping and maintenance keep the building clean, safe and working properly. It’s quiet work you notice most when it isn’t happening, and this team takes it seriously.
“The quality and ‘love’ of care given by the total medical staff and physical therapy team for my wife during her recovery from hip replacement was a sure blessing… If we had to use any care facility again, it will be Pleasant Hill Post Acute.”
– Clarence
“The staff at Pleasant Hill Post Acute is very friendly, attentive, and cheerful. The therapists are excellent, the nurses and CNAs are efficient and empathetic, and the front desk staff is welcoming and helpful.”
– Jean
The Admissions Process
Arranging skilled nursing services may be an entirely new and overwhelming task for the family, particularly when this needs to be done on short notice, right after a hospital stay. We realize how daunting this period may be and do our best to simplify the process for you. From your first contact through the first day spent with us, you will have a personal team looking after your interests each step of the way. It will mean that you won’t have to repeat your requests and share information with different people over and over again.
