Overall Review of Foothill Care Home

caveat 13 reviews mention this

Service quality feels mixed

Reviews describe staff behavior as both professional and unprofessional.

Several reviewers praise staff as friendly, professional, and respectful, including mentions of being patient and getting care in a timely way. Others call the experience mean, unprofessional, or uncaring, and describe poor communication or a lack of empathy. Because the listing’s caregiving and supervision details don’t appear in the review text, these comments are best read as feedback about healthcare-visit experiences rather than day-to-day community staffing.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Long waits and difficulty getting seen

Many reviews report long waits and delays for appointments.

Multiple reviewers say they waited far beyond their scheduled time, including accounts of being called more than an hour late or still waiting near mid-afternoon. Others describe difficulty seeing a doctor or ending up without the service they came for. Even though the community lists assistance with coordinating healthcare providers, the reviews here focus on the access and timing frustrations of getting appointments done.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Appointment rules and refusal complaints

Some reviews mention being turned away or blocked by appointment rules.

A few reviewers describe problems related to appointment expectations, including not being seen without an appointment and being directed toward other options when they asked to be accommodated. One reviewer reports being refused based on insurance-related criteria, while another advises making an appointment. The community does offer scheduled daily activities and coordinated healthcare-related transportation, but these review comments center on what happened during a clinic visit rather than within the assisted-living routine.

common 4 reviews mention this

Doctors and medical teams get attention

Reviewers frequently separate doctor or nursing performance from staff support.

Some reviews single out doctors and nurses as helpful and attentive, including mentions of doctors explaining things clearly and providers being patient with a child. In contrast, other reviewers criticize a physician assistant for communication and for not taking their concerns seriously. The listing’s assisted-living care supports are broader than what appears in the review text, so the takeaway is mainly about healthcare-visit experiences rather than resident support programming.
