Danville Post-Acute Rehab

My mother was admitted here for about 4 weeks, truly a great staff and caring people.
The therapy is the best! She said the food was great! Spencer was extremely helpful with any of my questions and was always very responsive. Katrina is the Director of Social Services and she is just a amazing women! She did everything we needed. Overall just a very clean place and all are very kind people.

The entire staff here are extremely kind and considerate; with very little turnover they get to know their patients well, which makes Danville Rehab feel less like a hospital and more like a cheerful, family setting. Yes, it’s relatively small but that’s exactly why my mom is happy here. The facilities are quite nice with a lovely outdoor area. The location can’t be beat — it’s a short walk to quaint downtown Danville where there’s many wheelchair accessible restaurants and shops should family be able to take the patient for an easy, nearby outing. My family visits frequently and during all shifts — the quality of treatment is always the same 24 – 7: kind, caring, and efficient! If ever I need rehab care — this is where I’d go because I know I’d receive great care by a wonderful staff!

My 87 years old father has been at Danville Post-​Acute rehab center twice and I have to say he has been receiving excellent care. He has friendly, caring nurses and attendants and the whole facility is clean and spacious. We are kept up to date with his condition & the least concern is addressed immediately. I have been pleased with the pride the people working at this facility have. The management, nursing assistants and nurses are all very kind, nice and extremely understanding and accommodating. Doctors are dedicated to help each patient.
There is a feeling that the patient here are valued as a person and not just a file.
I definitely recommend this place. Thanks to everyone.

I am writing a review of the Danville Rehab and Nursing home, where my mom is currently living. I heard that they had received a negative review due to the updating/​construction of the facility so I decided to write my own review.
Let me say that parking can be an issue, but I understand the limited space and sometimes I have to park and walk.
Second of all, construction can be a hassle, but the facility is overdue for a makeup and they are doing a GREAT job. Even the Director is outside painting doors and helping with the landscaping himself! It may be dusty and inconvenient, but the staff is AWESOME, always making me feel welcome and taking GREAT care of my 92 year old mom. That is what is IMPORTANT to me — her health and welfare. Most of the staff know me by name, care about the patients, and do the best job they can.
Although some staff comes and goes, there are several staff members that have been here a VERY long time, which tells me something about the committment to the patients.
It may not be the nicest looking facility, but with the upgrade going on, and once the construction is finished, it will be even better.
Thanks for all you do staff, keep it up!

Today I was visiting a family friend staying at the Danville Post Acute Rehab. It was difficult to park there with limited space and workers doing construction work outside. There was also construction work inside the facility, and needless to say, it was dusty, smelly and construction workers walking about without wearing any ID on them. The back exit door was wide open (probably to air out the smell and dust), and my thought was, «where is the security?» Anyone could walk in. The rooms had no numbers to identify with, and I could not find the room I was looking for until I ran into someone on the staff. The staff appears to be friendly, however, I noticed few wore gloves. During my visit, the friend complained to me the staff doesn’t seem concerned about hygiene when assisting/​caring for patients. They don’t wear gloves or wash their hands when they handle one patient and help another. For a skilled nursing facility, it did not look sanitary and it smelled. Also, there was no hand soap to use before entering or leaving patient rooms. I thought we needed to be careful when visiting/​working with elderly people because they are susceptible to germs.

My dad stayed here last year after his stroke. I have nothing but good things to say about the facility. It was clean (didn’t smell like urine, like many other facilities do). The PT team worked with and for my dad, to get him back into his unconventional living situation, on a boat! He is living alone again and doing well.
When it was time for me to find a post surgical care facility this spring after my knee replacement, it was a no brainer, off I went to Danville Rehab. I remember my dad saying that every person in the facility showed that they cared about him and his well being. I found this to be true. From the housekeeping staff, to the kitchen, to the nurses and physical therapists, EVERYONE there knows your name and says hello to you ALL THE TIME! I was made to feel so comfortable during my stay.
The physical therapy staff does a great job in helping you be the best that you can be.
I read the comments below and can’t believe they are talking about Danville Rehab. I didn’t have anywhere near a bad experience! My room was cleaned every day, including mopping the floors, cleaning the bathrooms and changing the beds. I never had to wait more than the typical couple of minutes when I pushed the call button.
I have recommended this facility to others and will continue to do so.

After being thrown into a very unfamiliar situation after my grandfathers hip replacement, EVERYONE here made me feel that I wasn’t alone! They helped me every step of the way and treated me with as much care and attention as they give my grandfather! When he first arrived, he was disoriented, confused and depressed. He is now very much at home! I can tell how well he’s cared for by his smiles towards the staff, by how sweetly his bed has been made and how wonderful the food is! No lie… I’ve eaten with him and the food is great :) We are now getting to the point of moving on from rehab, which again is a scary thing. And again, I am not alone. My grandfather will miss it here and so will I! From the director to laundry services… TOP NOTCH!!!

I like Unilocal a lot, but always take extreme reviews with the salt they deserve. My advice in choosing a facility for you or your loved one is to visit! Look around. And sniff. And listen to the interactions of staff with residents! I promise you, visitors are ALWAYS welcome.
My dad has lived at Danville Nursing & Rehab since a stroke in July 2008! I looked at a lot of places before I chose this one. The staff have been superior from the start. And many of the same people are there, which says a lot for the management. They have been not just considerate and professional, but loving. He is a moody and difficult man sometimes, and they have been more patient than we are in his family! The physical therapists have worked hard to keep him moving. The business office and social worker have interacted with the various social services and insurance providers seamlessly so I barely have to!
I moved from the Bay Area two years ago and found several places near my home for my dad. I presented him with the options, and he decided to stay in Danville! He feels comfortable, loved, and understood. That says it all from the patient perspective.
Of COURSE in six years we’ve encountered problems (so I’m cutting out one star… not having been at another facility for any length of time, I don’t know whether one could be better). Calls have been missed. There have been times when Dad was bored with the food or not happy with his roommates. But the staff are so responsive. They really do treat us as friends/​family.
Recently, when my dad was taken advantage of by a fellow veteran and elder predator, the social worker and director swung into gear and helped me address this horrible issue from my home four hours away. They dealt with the bank, arranged a notary, and helped Dad make the necessary calls to social security and so on. They advised me and we’ve made it through a huge crisis successfully.
They absolutely pass the literal and figurative «smell tests»!

This place is a hidden treasure. My 99 yr old grandma was a patient there for a full month and she was treated like she was a relative. Unbelievable service by all staff from the administration, nurses, CNA’s to all the therapists. They made several adjustments for her diet. (Daily meals) The faculty is very clean and was sterile at all times.
We actually had her at Stonebrooke in Concord and that faculty didn’t work out and we had my grandma transferred to danville rehab center and it was a blessing in disguise.
Putting a loved one in a home is a very difficult process. Danville rehab made me very comfortable and confident that we had my grandma at the best facility in the Bay Area. I would recommend this faculty to anyone!!! Thanks to Spencer and his Staff for everything that you have done for my grandmas recovery. You truly are amazing!!!

My grandfather stayed at this facility for about a month and this rehab center really helped him get better. The CNAs are all really great and patient and were attentive to my grandfather.
My grandpa is a high fall risk patient and they made sure he had extra padding on the sides of his bed, a bed alarm, and lots of check-​ups from the staff. They also were really good at helping him use the bathroom and showering him. They were always chatting with him in Tagalog and really brightening his spirits. He also enjoyed the food as well. They always had so many options and he really enjoyed that.
Over all my impression of the facility is that it looks a little older but it was nice and quaint… but come on it was obviously built more than 2 decades ago… so if you are going to complain about the overall structure/​set-​up/​bathroom layout go somewhere else. Pretty irritating to read some of the reviews on here. The room and bathroom all were a good size. My grandpa was able to comfortably use his walker/​wheelchair through the whole facility. It may not be the Hilton but the staff overall was awesome. They really helped my grandpa regain strength to walk better, eat better, and lifted his spirits. I just felt that I needed to write a positive review because I feel like the very few reviews on this Unilocal page don’t actually paint a true picture of this facility. Thanks danville rehab for helping Tatay aka Al J.

My father-​in-​law is being released from the hospital and will need care so we were asked to contact several rehab facilities close to our home that would work for us. The social worker at the hospital called this facility twice and received not response, my wife tried calling same thing. I called on Friday morning and spoke with a nice lady on the phone who promised I would get a call back within a few hours — no call back, nothing not even a message. Based on the contact I have had now with Danville Post-​Acute Rehah we will not include this facility on our short list to take my father-​in-​law if they are this unprofessional from first contact I cannot assume treatment there be any better especially after ready the other reviews.

For being in the middle of an upper-​middle-​class community where people can afford great healthcare, the quality and standards of care that I saw (in my brief time visiting a patient there) was sub-​par at best.
The women in charge of releasing patients alone would receive 3 stars based on my experience, they did their job and were accommodating… HOWEVER…
The cleanliness and sterilization of the facility deserves ZERO stars! I saw in my 4 total hours there, the following:
* No one changing gloves between patients if they even put them on
* No thermometer covers (or any other sterilization procedures) were used while assessing patients’ temperatures
* Two rooms (4 patients) to one bathroom, WHICH — did not have toilet seat covers
* Nonexistent hand washing
In a facility that handles human waste and bodily fluids, hygiene and sterilization MUST be the first priority.
If you want your loved ones picking up a staph infection, hepatitis or other contagion, by all means send them here.
Do your own research, don’t take my word for it, visit the location, watch the «nurses» carefully and make an informed decision for yourself.

Some serious issues here. I witnessed some unsanitary things going on here. Definitely don’t want them handling anything that should be sanitary like a thermometer or medication or a syringe…
It seemed like a nice place at first, but where the rubber meets the road, it leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t care how shiny the dudes pants are, this sort of thing doesn’t sit well with me. Maybe they have no problem when it comes to their family, but I am fiercely protective over mine.
I will say that once I got them to agree with the discharge, they worked hard to get it done.
If you have a choice, choose wisely and choose elsewhere.

My Grandfather stayed here recently and it was such a joy coming to the facility to visit him. The staff was extremely friendly and made me feel so welcome. But most importantly my grandpa was happy. He loved the nurses and everyone else on the staff. He too felt welcome and very well taken care of. I will always recommend this place to friends and family. Loved it.

I don’t normally write reviews but felt compelled to after witnessing the Staff at Danville Post Acute Rehab. At first I was drawn to this facility because of the location, surrounded by trees and in walking distance to downtown Danville and all. As nice as this is it has little to do with what I was really impressed with.
The ease with which one is allowed to visit their loved ones is refreshing and the people who work there always make you feel at home and welcome. I found the nurses and all to be very professional, but also very warm and caring. I’m generally a bit sensitive to these kind of facilities, i.e., smell and décor, but Danville Post Acute Rehab was especially clean, and they are now in the middle of updating the décor as well.
In speaking with family members of other patients they also spoke about the tenderness of care and how impressed they were with the facility.
If one has to be in rehab, or has the decision to make in choosing a place for their loved one, I would highly recommend Danville Post Acute Rehab.

This place should not be in business. My dad has been in this facility for the last two weeks and this by far has been the worst experience for him. It’s filthy, rooms are dirty and floors are never mopped, the staff is very unprofessional and our family has been lied by the nurses at the front desk. Every time I would push the cal button for assistance, it would literally take 20 to 30 min for someone to help. Half the time the nurses are talking and putting makeup on while I’m waiting at the front desk for help. Something’s weren’t even reported to the doctor about my fathers health. So much more to this story but Unilocaling this to warn you not to place a loved one in this facility.

Absolutely the worst place on earth. My family member went here to recover after an illness and recent hospitalization. My initial impression upon walking into the lobby was that the place was badly in need of a good cleaning and updating. This impression went from bad to worse as I entered my family member’s room. The room was filthy, the floor was sticky, and it smelled terrible. The facility was clearly understaffed, and staff members actually asked me to comment to the director because they really wanted to be staffed better. I experienced several occasions of being lied to by the social worker and the director of nursing. I spent a lot of time there, many hours each day. I witnesses deplorable infection control practices. Hand washing was virtually non-​existent. The hand sanitizers in the hallways also seldom used. Staff went from patient to patient transferring germs all day long. My family member ended up with one new serious infections after the first week there, and a second new even more serious infection after the second week there. At that time there were many other patients that were being treated for serious infections as indicated by the number of isolation carts in the hallway. I finally got him out of there and he recovered at home. I will say that the one shining light in this place was the caring nurses and aids. Unfortunately they were so overworked that they were unable to properly care for the patients. The physical therapy department was also excellent. But that is just not enough. It’s so unfortunate that in an upscale community like Danville, the management of this place does not want to use it’s resources to deliver top quality care in a clean environment. Don’t go here or send anyone you love to this place if you can help it. I just can’t imagine how this place got a 5 star rating by Medicare. They obviously have not been there lately.
