Review

Boulder Creek Post Acute is a facility that has received mixed reviews from patients and their families. One reviewer expressed disappointment with the physical therapy provided at the facility. While some therapists were competent, others seemed untrained and even incompetent. The reviewer's husband had a disturbing experience where a therapist did not know how to turn off an air mattress and continued to instruct him to do exercises, despite the fact that he was sliding off the bed. This lack of knowledge and care could have resulted in serious injury for the patient.

Another concern raised by a different reviewer was the staff speaking in different languages in front of patients, making them feel excluded and unaware of what was happening around them. This raises questions about professionalism and respect for patients' needs and comfort.

The quality of food at Boulder Creek Post Acute was also criticized by one reviewer. The meals were described as institutionalized, cheap-looking, and lacking in nutritional value. A specific incident was mentioned where a small serving of plain pasta with Polska kielbasa was served without any cheese. This lackluster meal gave the impression of a cafeteria serving rather than something more appetizing and nutritious.

While the facility itself appeared to be clean, adequately air-conditioned, and heated, it was noted that it had a dingy and dated appearance. Additionally, there were concerns over inadequate equipment for patients' needs. One example given was a bed that was too short for the patient, making it difficult for him to get out independently or even with assistance from a physical therapist. Similarly, his chair was too low, requiring multiple people to help him stand up.

However, not all reviews were negative about Boulder Creek Post Acute. One individual praised the outstanding activities department and their engagement with patients. They highlighted a particular staff member who went above and beyond in caring for their relative who was bedridden at one point. The cleanliness of the facility was also commended.

Another reviewer commented on the cleanliness of the facility and the pleasant atmosphere in the hallways. They mentioned a nice courtyard outside and friendly staff who seemed relaxed. While they acknowledged that the furniture was outdated, they felt that their loved one was well taken care of.

Villa Monte Vista Nursing Home has also received some feedback from a satisfied family member. They chose this facility for their husband based on insurance coverage and proximity to their home. While they found the rooms to be tight due to mobility aids, they felt comfortable with the facility and appreciated the friendliness of the staff. The food was criticized as being terrible, but there were positive remarks about the availability of daily activities and rehabilitation services.

In conclusion, Boulder Creek Post Acute has received mixed reviews from patients and their families. Concerns have been raised about some physical therapists lacking competence, staff speaking in other languages in front of patients, unappetizing food, outdated facilities, and inadequate equipment. However, positive feedback was given to the outstanding activities department, cleanliness of the facility, friendliness of staff at Villa Monte Vista Nursing Home.
