Walnut Creek Skilled Nursing and Rehab wasn't too bad. I understand that the rehab staff was really good; my dad talked to me about that. They would take him out to the gym. He was there for rehab. I never saw his room; they wouldn't let us in because of COVID. It was a two-person room. The lobby looked nice. I could walk into the foyer and walk into the lobby. Their activities would depend on how much care you needed. There were a few times when the staff couldn't answer the phone. My dad says the food was good there, and I'm relieved that they had no COVID cases. The cost was $500 a day and that was just for him to stay there (no therapy). For me, it was too expensive.

This is a very large skilled nursing facility located near Rossmoor, a large senior adult community. Overall, I've had a pretty positive impression of the place. They offer extraordinarily good rehab: OT, PT, and ST. But it's all group therapy, and some of my clients haven't liked that. That's rare, though. Most people feel encouraged by the group. Therapy is offered two times a day and on Saturday, if needed. That's unusual and a real plus. Also, if a patient is in the John Muir Medical System, a physician from John Muir is there 8 hours a day. That's really extraordinary and a real plus. Another plus: They have a beautiful garden courtyard, with roses and shade trees, that's amazing, just stunning. One negative: The food isn't good. It's mediocre at best, very institutional. The only other negative is that parking can be difficult.
