Astoria Nursing and Rehab Center

My wife’s 103 year old grandmother is currently rehabing here after breaking her right femur and elbow, trying to get out of her favorite chair on her own. She’s been here before and this time will be a more extended stay. Compared to the facility my dad stayed in down in Hemet, Manor Care, I have to give this place 1 less star. The parking is more congested, which seems only to reflect the feeling of congestion I get when I step inside. Smaller shared rooms as well, about equal in size to the single occupant rooms my father had on occasion at Manor Care.
But in fairness to the nursing staff, they seem very attentive and caring for the most part. The food looks and smells good. And the fact that one of our church members is on the night shift here and checks in on her every night is a plus. Not every patient can claim a personal acquaintance with the nursing staff though, so no extra star point added to my overall review. Another personal plus is that one of her former favorite caregivers lives right down the street and checks in on her regularly, but this should not affect my star rating either.
There is a sense of hopelessness I feel inside; so many patients sitting in the hallways in their wheelchairs and seemingly staring into oblivion. Not uncommon for these types of places though. But I do give Astoria a thumbs up for apparent cleanliness. Not the typical nursing home rancid odor I’ve picked up in so many others. And the large aquarium in the front lobby and the spacious indoor finch aviary are nice calming touches.

Sorry to say but this place sucks. My mom wss there for 3 days just to rehab her legs after her heart surgery because she couldn’t walk yet. The first night she was ringing the bell so she could go to the restroom and it took them 2 hours to help mom. The only good nurse there was Carmen. There was this one lady who would scream for hours and the staff would laugh at her. Please email me with any questions.

I’ve never been to this facility in person. I live in Florida, but my father was taken here this year and stayed for about 2 months. I always had a very difficult time talking to the staff. They’d put me on hold for long stretches of time only to pick up again and ask who I was waiting for. On two separate occasions I was told I’d get a call back from a nurse or case manager, but never heard back. In addition, my father’s case never included a discharge plan, which I’m told is unusual. A nurse from my father’s assisted living facility asked his OT doctor how long my father would be staying, and they asked «How long does he have left on his medicare?».
I’m surprised to see that my experience contrasts sharply with other’s. Perhaps they’re more helpful and friendlier in person.

Recently placed my brother here for treatment. Staff is excellent and tries very hard to accomodate needs. Facility is spotless and well maintained. Food is excellent and served promptly. Highly recommended.

I walk by this place everyday and the entire sidewalk area is covered in dog feces. It looks like at least two years worth. I would never recommend this place to anyone since the entrance is within 100 yards of piles of feces and most people who go in these types of places are high risk. A single gram of dog feces can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, which are known to cause cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness, and serious kidney disorders in humans. Please do not send anyone you love here.

Kudos to the Astoria Nursing and CNA staff people. You folks are ah-​mazing and I greatly appreciate the care and concern you exhibit with regard to my mother’s physical and mental well-​being. She always has a smile and her face and is in good spirtis. She waves at the staff and calls out to them, even when she’s calling them by the wrong name, which is most of the time. The administration staff is outstanding and deserves kudos also. Keep up the good work. Lynda S.

My mom was here for rehab about 5 years ago. Never had a problem with the nurses everyone always alert. And they are really caring people who care. My grandpa is niw here and also need rehab. They been really nice to him so far. And couldn’t ask for a better place.

I have to say thank you to the Astoria staff & nurse’s for taking such good care of my grandmother for the last 1 ½. I am usually very weary when it comes to nursing facilities. It’s probably the hardest thing when leaving a loved one in someone else’s care. It also takes very special nurses with compassion to do the job. Especially towards the end when hospice stepped in, they worked with us in every way possible. The nurses were very attentive (Linda and Catherine) I am very sad to say my visits here are over :(I will always hold a special place in my heart for those who helped take care of Berta Miranda. (I will never forget you all!!!) sorry if we were pain in the butts at the end. It was hard to let go.
Thank you again Astoria from my family & I

My 95 year old mother was admitted to Astoria Nursing and Rehab Center in January 2014. She was terrified, and insisted that I take her home immediately. That «This Place» was not for her. After assuring her that I would bring her home the very next day after speaking to her doctor, she agreed to stay overnight. Thank goodness we did. She awoke 3 times in the middle of the night short of breath, and the nurses and staff attended to her medical and emotional needs quickly, professionally, with empathy, and incredible love and care.
It is now over two months later, and my mother is literally Thriving with the care, support, medical attention, and physical/​occupational daily therapy.
The staff is truly amazing. From the moment you walk through the front door, you are greeted with the warm, friendly, smiling, helpful staff members. This includes everyone from the office, management, kitchen, cleaning (they are cleaning constantly), maintenance, entertainment, therapy, and nursing staff.
If I could, I would give Astoria a 10 star rating.
This is also My first experience with any family member being in a nursing home environment, and my perspective has completely changed.
I will posting pictures and videos shortly. One will be a video of my mom’s health and «attitude» transformation while being at Astoria. The other videos will be of their «entertainment» and social activities.
Professional entertainer are brought in to entertain the residents. Movies, sing– alongs, bingo, blackjack and other activities are offered.
I can’t thank everyone at Astoria enough for the care and love they have shown me and my mother.
Once again, 10 stars.

I live right next to this location. ambulance after ambulance after ambulance… they are always on the side walk. it seems as if they were abandoned there or something. But once you get to know them, the crazy stops… i walk my dog by this place all the time

Clean well kept facility with friendly staff and what seems to be happy residents.
