MARYSVILLE POST-ACUTE

My husband and I are both nurses, we had to put my dad in a care home for about a month. It was actually just my luck that we ended up at Marysville Post Acute and I am so thankful we did. The first thing I noticed as a nurse is the absence of smell. The place smells very clean and I like that a lot, to me that means something. Secondly, there is always an abundance of staff walking the hallways peeking in checking in on my dad and that makes me feel like he is safe. They have taken extremely good care of my father. When he has to go to a Care Home permanently, he will be going to Marysville Post Acute. There aren’t enough good things I can say about this facility! Thank you to all of you for the great care he has received!

I have went back-and-forth on if I should post a few things about when my dad was in his last days of life. To me, it’s important that I do because it might save someone else’s family from going through what we went through. When dad woke up, totally lost and had refused his medication and food for a few days my brother and I made a decision to call an ambulance. The problem is when you are on Medicare Medi-Cal, Dying is not a reason for you to be in the hospital. But he also wasn’t able to go home at the time. Rideout did everything possible to find something to admit dad for. There just wasn’t any reason besides the fact that he was dying. The social workers there were so wonderful with us and they started looking for a place to have dad for his last few days. They came to us with Marysville care center. I looked it all over and it seemed that it had straightened up because I had Read the horrible things that have been done there to patients. We also knew our family would be there so he would have care. We as a family went over to the care center and waited for them to transport dad over there. They had dad restrained not because he was lashing out, but because he was drugged up and they wanted him to stay in his place while they transported him because he was getting very weak. We were all sitting in the front part of the care center, and they brought dad through. That in itself was horrifying, watching him, be brought in on a gurney and him not knowing where he was. We immediately heard one of their employees start yelling down the hall that he was restrained and that she did not want him there. What was she going to do with him? She was totally making a scene. It was so disgusting. Ambulance employees were so upset on the treatment and stated so. My brother asked the woman in front at the desk, if this is how professional they are and she went back and they took the woman away from the hallway. They went and got the person that ran the place. Now my dad is laying in the middle of a hall his last few days of life while they are arguing because he has restraints on, even though they were being told it was not because he was agitated. It was the most inhumane thing I’ve ever seen in my life. The woman that ran the place refused my dad. That tells a lot in itself anoit night time care. She even told us that she could not give him the Valium that he was on. The problem is had been on it for two days. Now that I look back on it. It was a blessing from God he was sent back to rideout and a doctor in the ER said that his potassium needed to be raised so they put him on the second floor and that’s where he would be for the next three days. They put him in a private room where we could have time with him. All of the staff were so wonderful with him and our family. They came in on Monday and said that Medicare Medi-Cal wanted him to be moved. At this time he was unconscious and only had a little time left to live so the decision was made to take him home. Hospice was wonderful and he passed away within one and a half days. I told the woman who was telling us that she would refuse dad, that I was going to tell our story on here and on yelp. She looked me in the face and told me to go ahead. So I am. We were also told that this place has been sold several times and all they do is change the name on the license, but it’s still the same people. Everyone at the hospital knew what was done to us and they were so apologetic even though they were not the ones that did it. I’m not doing this to open up a bash session on this place I am just doing this so that if you have a choice, you know that’s probably not the place to put a loved one ❤️

Our friend has been at Marysville Post Acute for a while now after a stroke and irregular diabetes. He is being treated very well. Excellent PT, nurses and all staff we’ve encountered. Social Service coordinator is super. He is losing weight, getting social, and improving. We are very happy with this clean and caring facility.

Friendly staff that are always willing to work hard to provide comfort and very attentive to the care they give. They have a welcoming environment and very clean too. I recommend this facility as they offer excellent care always with a smile.

A huge turn around! I recently did a walk through, and it was great seeing all of the changes that have been implemented! Starting with the reception desk being nicely set up and receiving a warm greeting upon entering, to the upgrades they are doing throughout the building. The building looked clean and the courtyard was very nice; really seemed like the resident enjoyed having a nice place to go relax and get a breath of the nice morning air and socializing. The new administrator, Cameron, has really put together a great team who genuinely smiled and asked if I needed help with anything as I walked by them and they seemed happy to be there taking care of families loved ones. Meeting with Maria, their social services director, it was easy to tell how much that she genuinely cares about the outcomes and quality of life of each of the residents there as she spoke with such compassion about what types of services they offer and how they follow up post care at their facility.
