I was here for PT/OT after an injury. The staff, from nursing to therapy and CNA’s are top notch. The therapy-room floor was replaced while I stayed here. These folks really helped me to heal with consistent daily therapy It’s very clean and I spent most of my time on their garden-patio. The furniture was even updated during my stay. They also host a top of the line chef so each meal is delicious and served picture-perfect. So thankful I came here.

I was at skilled nursing for 5 months. I was bedridden when I arrived. I am now walking almost un assisted. I still use my cane But I am able to get out each and every day and take many , many walks. The physical therapy department there is over the top. They are extremely personal and they work hard to help you reach your goal Nobody ever believed I would be able to walk again and now I’m walking everywhere. The CNA’s that take care of you throughout the day are very patient very kind and very helpful This is truly a wonderful place to go and rehab. I Highly recommend you do it I have now been home for almost 3 weeks and my progress is getting better and better each and every day. I still attend physical therapy five days a week and it is because of the physical therapy team. I am really getting to where . I can do almost everything. The occupational therapist at the skilled nursing center taught me how to do everything again like learn to get dressed brush my teeth. Tie my shoes etc. they started from scratch and now I can do all of that all by myself . The entire management team at the Terraces are extremely professional very friendly and they always visit you. They make you feel like you are their number one priority Take it from me I was a wreck when I arrived. The Terraces got me back to an almost normal life again Soon I will be there
I came to visit grandfather for the first time while I had been visiting and never have I seen such a beautiful community. I ended up getting turned around a lot and found myself lost with no idea where to go. Thankfully Bernard with security helped me find my way around. He didn’t hesitate to ask if I needed help and even took me a good bit of the way. My time was limited where I would have probably lost so much time, I appreciate you Bernard. I hope others are just as wonderful, polite and helpful as you are. If my grandpa sees you around he will probably offer you candy.
My elderly father suffered pelvic fractures, and when given the choice of rehabilitation facilities, we chose The Terraces, Los Gatos, and we are so happy we did. My father was there for 17 days, and the staff was professional, very knowledgeable, and kind. The facility is beautiful, the food was excellent, and there are daily programs and activities available.
