My overall stay at the facility was amazing. From the moment I arrived, the ladies in the Admissions Office were incredibly supportive. They were always willing to help, talk with me during my time of need, and guide me through the processes I needed to be successful once I returned home. I truly want these ladies to be recognized for making both me and my girlfriend feel welcomed. Even when I came back to visit, the Admissions team greeted me with the same warmth and kindness as before, which meant a lot. I also want to thank the nurses and CNAs for providing excellent care throughout my stay. Although my time at Golden Modesto was short and I left sooner than expected, I sincerely appreciate everything the staff did for me. They all deserve recognition for their hard work, compassion, and dedication.
This review is over do by a couple months. My overall experience with most of the staff has been pleasant and uplifting. I came in from the hospital decrepit. By the grace of God and the kind and patient nurses I have ascended from the hospital bed and to my feet. I was in a room close to the manager's office in charge of patients care. My personal experience with the main manger Katie was beyond uncomfortable and everything she has stated to me was either untrue or mislead my hope to a better future of humanity as a whole. She promised me care and equipment upon my arrival at home, and none was there for my safety when I got home. Every conversation with me was condescending and bad mouthed her fellow coworkers. She would as misleading questions in regard to my care in hopes that I would say bad things about the workers. I even overheard her talking to some of the staff in such a mean and degrading way which led me to believe she grew up without proper care and kindness. On the other hand, all the other workers treated me with such care and patience. They let me take my time and went the extra mile to treat me with respect. My experience with everyone but Katie was beyond phenomenal and have never experienced such great care. I would recommend anyone in need of proper nursing care in this fine establishment without the guidance of that manager Katie. I'll rate my experience 4 stars if I would have never crossed paths with that person. I wish the team nothing but good things at Golden Modesto center xoxo
To be honest whrn I first arrived I was discouraged. My medication hadn't arrived at the facility yet ....but it was no fault of the staff at the facility after a nurse explained the procedure I understood but was still very frustrated. All the staff ...from the nurses to the ladies in the admissions office were encouraging me to stay .....I am so glad I did everyone working who interacted with me had a very positive attitude.....the ladies in the admissions office checked on me everyday and went above and beyond to answer any questions that I had ....the staff working the floor had very positive attitudes not just with me but I saw how they treated everyone ....same with the staff in therapy. So overall I had a pretty positive experience there.
I am posting this on behalf of somebody who wishes to remain anonymous. A friend of mine has witnessed firsthand how horribly staff treat the residents in this facility and how horribly the administration treats their employees. My friend is being targeted for harassment, and the administration takes all verbal hearsay as evidence against employees without looking into it. They then lie to the individual being harassed, claiming that other staff and residents filed complaints. However, the residents have openly told my friend they like her and have no problems with her. The same is true for most of the staff. My friend has also said that this facility isn't doing its job. Now, I have advised my friend of her legal rights, including her legal right to face her accuser. This level of negligence against residents and harassment against or by staff toward another needs to be investigated, or the state should shut this facility down permanently.
At Rehab in golden Modesto ,I got inspired and I got a lot of helo so much that when I leave here, I will look for a place to continue my work out. May, with her music, never played before, thought me how to move with the beat. She showed me how to move, raised my hands, through that I was able to raise my hand that I couldn't do before due to my stroke . Thank you to the rehab team.
