Brighton Place San Diego

This place is the worst. If your loved one is here, REMOVE THEM IMMEDIATELY. When you do, dont expect them to let them go easily either.
My grandmother was admitted to this nursing home facility on 05÷22÷14 for rehabilitation. I went to visit her on 05÷31÷14 and she was non-​coherent, drooling on her self, unable to talk and barely move, and twitching. When prior to admission she was not doing any of that. When I asked the nurses what was wrong with her, they could not give me a straight answer. She was not eating, not doing physical therapy and when I went to ask why they said she refused which is probably because she was overmedicated.
After seeing my 77 year old grandmother acting like this, I immediately started looking for another care facility to transfer her to. When I found one I called to transfer her I was presented with numerous road blocks on why I could not transfer her to the other facility. They said because I wasn’t the one who admitted her so I couldnt transfer her, the doctor wouldn’t approve the order so I would be going against medical advise (therefore disqualifying her for medicare) and have to be footing the bill, the doctor was on vacation, etc. It was a battle for 3 days with the people to transfer my grandmother. While I was there, I have reason to believe that other patients are being mistreated, over medicated, and they are exploiting the elderly people who are there and have no family to advocate for them. This place should not be in business and should be shut down by the state due to their maltreatment of patients and violating patient rights.

Hope our carolers can visit this year. Every year they have allowed our children to sing Christmas songs. My daughter worked here during her school.

Find another place to put your loved ones. The staff could barely speak English, they were slow to answer pages, we had to file a complaint on one staff member because he was rough and rude. The place looks good from the reception area, but the patient area had the most horrific smell. On a positive note, the physical and occupational therapy staff were excellent and really helped my dad’s rehab. But the facility seemed hellbent on keeping dad for the entire 100 days that medicare would pay even though he was ready to leave before that. The food was awful and my dad wouldn’t eat it. We ended up bringing in some of his favorites just so he’d eat. My dad had been in a couple of other rehab facilities, and they were all better than this one by leaps and bounds.
