Stonebrook Healthcare Center

My dad has been residing here for almost a year now. This facility does a decent job of taking care of his needs. The staff has always been helpful and attentive to my requests.

My Dad lived at Stonebrook for 3 and a half years following a stroke. He passed away in August, 2015, at the age of 94. He came to know Stonebrook as home. Stonebrook’s main strength is the loving staff — a great group of caring, competent, experienced people. We found the nurses and the CNAs (certified nursing assistants) and the therapists to be very knowledgeable. They have seen just about every problem or issue before and have a variety of strategies to try. Most of them take pride in their work. Dad went to Kaiser Hospital several times for various medical issues and they always commented on how beautiful his skin looked (i.e., he did not have any bed sores or rashes), which was a complement to the nursing home.
Dad particularly enjoyed the musical events every Saturday, and sometimes on other days as well: piano playing, saxophonist, sing-​alongs, small bands. The food is pretty good. although it does get repetitive. But you are welcome to bring favorite meals or treats if they fit with the doctor’s orders. Dogs are allowed to visit (and cats, as well). There are no perfect nursing homes, but this one is pretty darn good. With any nursing home, you need to be proactive — ask questions, visit as often as you can, advocate for your loved one, ask how often their teeth are brushed, whether or not they need nails clip. Communication is sometimes a problem — with three shifts of staff, sometimes the instructions from the speech therapist or the physical therapist do not get communicated to all the nurses and CNAs on each of the shifts. We put a white board in Dad’s room where we could communicate with them when we were not there. We posted our phone numbers and encouraged them to call us if they had a question or if Dad was agitated, or if he was just confused and wanted to talk to one of us. We posted on the white board when we would be there again, so if Dad wanted one of us they could look at the board and tell him when we would be there. We put pictures of family up, brought in some furniture from home, and decorated his room with the seasons and the holidays. He especially loved the small, fresh, lighted tree in his room at Christmas.

Don’t let the cleanliness of this place fool you.
Their staff could care less about the importance of getting your loved ones better…
My grandma stayed her after she broke her hip.
On several occasions they left her for hours without checking on her.
She is supposed to have therapy twice a day. Once at 10 and then again at 230 so she doesn’t get too tired. Without our knowledge they were combining her physical therapy into just one morning session… Tiring her out and going against doctors orders.
If you have someone you love staying here, make sure you get on them to do their job. They could care less.

Stonebrook is a top notch facility in the area. Their rooms are clean and staff is very attentive. I would highly recommend this facility!

This is the second visit for my father. The care was superb once again. My father had to undergo IV antibiotics with a pic line. I am a nurse and when it comes to hospital’s, I have a keen eye and I know what to look for. I rate this hospital 10+ on a scale from 1 – 10. I never thought that would be possible, but it is true. The food, the care, the physical therapy were all fantastic. My father was highly pleased. My father was at another facility in the past and it did not even come close to Stonebrook. The other review’s that are mentioned seems like they were referring to another place. Perhaps that was the care in the past, but I can assure you, Stonebrook is the best. I do not work for this place and I do not know any of the staff. I went home each evening feeling like my father was in great hands and that is a huge relief. If any of the staff at Stonebrook are reading this… Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Dad was released today and he feels and looks great… Room 109 :)

although Stonebrook is spoken of as one of the best skilled nursing homes in the area. I have to say after the experience my father had here THAT FRIGHTENS me to death! The nursing staff here really lacks the critical thinking skills to take care of an edlery person that needs experienced health care providers.
My fathers was only to be there for physical therapy and to get stronger so he could go home. What ended up happening was several. not one. but several medication errors in which he had to be transferred back to the hospital in worse shape than he was in the beginning. and they were unable to return him to the shape he was when he entered Stonebrook, and as a result He now must under go treatments for the rest of his life… He acquired a hospital urinary tract infection, as well as a blister on his tail bone!
Everyone was pleasant. smiled and seemed very nice. but again I can’t stress enough that they are not competent enough to make critical medical decisions.
I find it my duty to speak out against negligent care. If this happened to my father. it can happen to anyone’s!
The Physical Therapy Dept was very good. but you only get a small amount of time each day, five days a week. and the Nursing staff failed miserably to ambulate and take good care of my dad.
He, by the way, was walking a mile a day, and driving still. He should have only been there a short while to gain strength. but now his life is changed for ever.
Please head this review,

My father went to Stonebrook Healthcare Center following his foot surgery so he could learn to get out of bed, go to the bathroom, and move on a walker without putting weight on his foot–
First day, it was great. Good food, good Physical Therapy session, etc.
Day two, they put a man with a blood disease in my father’s room (my father just had surgery days before, big health concern). This man made these disruptive sounds (constantly) and peed his bed repeatedly during the night, creating constant commotion. Sleep was impossible for my father and the orderlies didn’t seem to care.
There was no offer for a new room (though there were empty rooms down the hall that this other man could have been moved to) — My father had to leave Stonebrook, compromising the speed of his recovery to ensure he wouldn’t have to worry about exposure to what his «roommate had» (puss oozing from a sore on his foot, disgusting). I would love to write a different review for this place, but cannot let this irresponsibility and recklessness go unreported.

After my husband broke his leg and was unable to move, we decided the best place to get well would be a rehab/​convalescent hospital. It was a tough decision, everything we had seen in the past gave us pause, but upon getting to Stonebrook and being there for 3+ weeks, we cannot say enough about the staff, administration and PT group. They are absolutely the best! Everyone on the staff was friendly, always had a smile on their face and was incredibly helpful. Anything you need, they could take care of it for you or help you fix the issue. We are currently doing outpatient PT and they have been incredible in getting my husband moving and heading toward a complete recovery. Thank you!
