Shoreline Care Center

This is the worse place to stay. The rooms are filthy — curtains have buildup of dust. They have electrical cords running all over the wall (fire hazards). Beds have holes in them. The lady (Cindy) that runs it now, needs to learn how to run the place or get training from the lady that use to run it (Cindi Paulson), or pack up and leave. This one is running it to the ground along with her puppets Ruel (PT), Theresa (OT). These people when caught in lies or busted doing stuff they are not suppose to do. They change records. The social Service lady Charito she don’t help the people in there, she covers up for Shoreline. People make sure to have your cell phones recording and take lots of pictures. Oh NANNY Cam comes in handy! The food is terrible and cold. Poor CNA’s they have 15 –18 patients while most of the nurses treat the CNA’s like slaves. Make sure family bring or order outside food. When does a dietitian (Lea) has a right to prescribe meds even vitamins. Oh if your diabetic she will make sure your diet includes starches and pastry’s and cookies and then wonder why your sugar levels are so high! Showers backed up with feces coming up out of the drain. Nothing gets done. I was in the shower 2 x’s when that happen. I went and told maintenance Carlos, he said he never got a order. Carlos was great he went right away and cleaned it out.
Roommates folley 4 days in a row ready to burst at the seams. The urine backing up into her bladder. She has been fighting UTI’s, now you know why!!! Leaving a tourniquet on after putting a IV in her arm for 3 ½ hrs. Arm swollen up. Then you have the asst. D.O.N blaming someone else. Oh no, it is both your faults. Take blame and correct the problem. Then the other older lady on weekends, I use to make sure she was alive. They would just give her crushed up meds. in a pill cup with ensure and leave. Then I would never hear the older lady so be crashed out Saturday and Sunday. I would look just to make sure she was breathing. Nobody would come in and check up on her or change her. The CNA’s would drop her meals and leave, just to come back a hr later and take it away. I ask are you going to feed her, CNA would say she is sleeping. Yet they wake her to give her more meds in the pill cup with ensure. She was not getting feed. I would say something the next time they tell me to mind my own business. I would say, she be my business if you guys are treating her bad. I have a voice, she don’t so I will speak up for her. Then right before the day shift would come in they would change her crappy, drenched diaper, sheets and blankets then wipe her down and spray her with some body spray. I would tell her kids when they came in.
When taken showers they put you on a shower chair and so call you wrapped up. Your butt and privates are hanging out and parade you down the hall to the shower rooms. Don’t let them do this to you. Get undress in the shower room. They will say «OH YOU REFUSING» make sure people have your recording on! One of there forms you are not suppose to have cameras and recordings. They want you to sign. Which I NEVER SIGNED as Ciny said I did! I wanted to tape a so called meeting and she said I signed a paper. I told her to get it. She said NOW! Me: Yep get it. Cindy comes back with all excuses but no paper. Next day oh they wanted me to signed paper work, only to give me a page 2, 12, 8 out of 28 (example). I ask where are all the sheets in between, was told oh you don’t need that. I made sure I signed and wrote refused to give me all only signed the page I wrote. They do threaten you to sign. If not they say they will tell the DR that you are Incompatible. They treat you like your in a mental hospital here.
This place can be ran better with the right people. Better people to run the kitchen.
I have pictures and recording. If I can post I will.

he hates it, staff are not attentive, he wears soiled clothing for days, when he rings them it takes 5 tries or more to get help. they Do Not clean the rooms. stinky place and my dad is getting out ASAP. I have seen enough neglect from the so called staff.

Entering Shoreline Care Center is analogous to walking into the Psych Ward in the movie, «One Flew Over the Coo-Coo’s Nest». People roaming the halls unattended, moaning, screaming, and asking for help. The smell of urine and fecal matter hits you immediately as walk in the facility. The nursing staff (almost exclusively Filipino) cluster around the nursing stations texting on there cell phone and talking to one an other, remaining largely indifferent to what is going on around them. The overriding concern of this facility is centered on collecting as much money as they can under Medicare billing guidelines or from the patient/patient’s family. My mother, in a lapse of mental clarity signed over her sizable pension check ($ 4950/​month) to Shoreline to share a room with two other people. With the help my brother, we are moving her to a new facility (Sunrise Senior Living) in Westlake Village, CA, which is infinitely nicer for less money each month. For $ 4,600 my mother will have a private room with her our private patio is a facility that is clean, modern, and comfortable. Avoid this despicable place at all cost.

I had been with many (different) nursing homes facility and is by far this is the worse nursing homes facility ever I have ever encountered in my entire life. The staff (charge nurses) are snotty, low-​minded, stock-​up, and this place has a full of experts of debunking gossipers. If you work in this place, you’ll end up being frustrated and lost your sense of self-​worth within fews weeks by being around with these nurses that does not performed on their prospective assignments effectively and efficiently. They just cannot performed a job even in a very basic bedside manner. They have no customer adeptness in dealing with patients/​family concerns due to language barrier that is (tagalog). In addition, this place is very fealty dirty and its smells horrible that you can even feel a fume out of the odor as soon as you open and entered to any entry doors in the facility. I absolutely will not recommend this place to my family and friends nor to anyone who wants to work here.
