Review of Sherman Oaks Health & Rehab

4 Star User Review

My mom was transferred to this facility diagnosed with Alzheimers. The staff in the facility set up meetings to discuss my mom's needs and they were really good about responding to our request. There are many caring CNA, nurses and other office staff people in this rehab. I have seen nurses spend a long time trying to adminster medication to reluctant patients with patience and care and most of the CNA's have number of patience but most are very patient and caring. These CNA's deserve less beds and more encouragement as they care for your loved ones all the time. The facility functions well on the weekdays but it seems that there is not enough staff on the weekends. I had the most trouble with the physical therapy since they don't really do any physical therapy with Alzheimer patience eventhough my mom was immobile and she could not walk. I guess they only work with patients who follow command but patients who can not communicate should also get some type of physical therapy. We had to put in several request to make sure she is getting physical therapy of some kind. so we would not lose her mobility completely. As with any other business, you have to follow through with your loved ones needs and make sure the staff understands your patient's specific needs such as nutrition or sleeping habits etc, they are good about making changes and accomodating your request. Some of the changes are slow to be made but they are eventually made. Overall, we are very satisfied with this facility.
