Woodward Hills Nursing Center

My mother had a stroke and was sent here for 3 months. There are many places to go for rehab care, but this is one of the nicer places. The nurses were great and the aides were nice. The therapy was fantastic. She went from basically being an invalid to where she could walk and move again.
Time to get assistance could be long, but it wasn’t 30 minutes. My mother was bathed twice a week and had therapy 5 – 6 days per week.
The big dinning room had very good food. And there was entertainment and games. There’s a salon for women’s hair. There’s a big attrium that leads to an outside courtyard which is great for getting outside when the weather is nice.
Obviously no one wants to have to deal with a loved one being in a place like this, so it makes it extra stressful at first. And people are going to complain and be bitter about this situation. But if you have the choice, this place was pretty good.

Mother used facility for subacute rehab after knee replacement. Not impressed… every time you call for help you’d wait 30 mins +. Her first morning she called me and said she’d been waiting 1 hour for help to use restroom.
I didn’t see anyone offer to bathe patients, sheets were never changed.

I do not recommend this facility for Subacute Care. My mother was ignored for several hours with a very high blood sugar level and had to be sent to the hospital. If it wasn’t for my sister coming to visit my mom that afternoon she could’ve had another stroke, went in to a coma or even died. Her blood sugar was so high it didn’t even read on the monitor. The nurses knew she was not well and sent her to physical therapy anyway. When my sister found her she was non responsive and needed emergency care. I don’t suggest you bring your love one to Woodward Hills if they need subacute care or special attention. The staff is just going through the motions and have forgotten to really care about the people. The lead nurse was very nonchalant about almost KILLING MY MOTHER and was not very apologetic. She blamed everything on doctor Annette Karen and took no responsibility for her staffs lack of concern. Not to mention they had my mother on a non-​diabetic tube fed when she is a diabetic, the rooms were dirty, the hall smelled like poop, I over heard several staff complaining… and the physical therapist suggested I stay on them because the quality of staff had gone down. ALL RED FLAGS!!! I’ve had family members come here for therapy and they do have a good therapy program but I would not suggest someone staying here.
