I stayed in Bell Convalescent Hospital for five months... I have stayed at Sunnyside convalescent but the service was really disappointing.. Bell convalescent hospital has great friendly and professional CNA's to help the patients according to their individual needs.. Bell Convalescent Hospital counts with three beautiful patios so when your family and friends visit you can enjoy their company in the patio or stay indoors in the cozy television lobby... I highly recommend this place .. patients are treated very well.. the food is awesome and they have in-house physical therapy and great nurse's around the clock giving out patients meds always with a sincere smile .. all the staff have an uplifting spirit.. I truly recommend this facility for any type of need you may have
Worst experience, from front desk to Case Mgr, bad unprofessional attitude. Neglected patients by not feeding them for a full day, issues with other patients hygiene, diper change etc .. Nursing unprofessional using indecent language, talking about patients snd co-workers. Overall horrible service, do what's best for your love one and look for something decent cause this is not the place.
I'm very grateful because you took care of my sister during her stay and you help me so much with all her therapy and needs including g helping me to obtain her medi-cal. I will definitely refered you anytime, excellent staff and care!!
I love this place. When my mother fell victim to the Covid pandemic, our family didn't know where to run or who to go to. The staff of Bell lifted the burden of stress from us as they took care of my mom-- for that our family is eternally grateful. They treated her with respect, dignity and compassion. The nursing staff even treated her as if she was their mom. Every day during her stay at Bell I saw her sitting in bed, smiling, comfortable, reading, watching tv, or having conversation with the staff until she had to be taken to an acute hospital. Mom is no longer with us but I am grateful and thankful to the staff at Bell. From Administration to nursing staff, from kitchen to facilities, and from Medical records to the house doctor, thank you for making her last few days a very comfortable one. Job well done. If you are looking for a place for an aging loved one who needs healthcare and assistance for their activities of daily living, choose Bell.
Love this place!! Every staff member is wonderful and attentive in meeting every resident's needs. Bell Convalescent Hospital has a motto of respect, compassion, and dignity. They definitely nailed it! ♥♥♥
