Valle Verde Health Facility Santa Barbara, California 93105

My wife and I are residents here, and have been here for three years. We live in the independent homes, and love it. Regarding the nursing facility, my wife had two hip replacements last year, about eight weeks apart. After each replacement, she chose to transfer to the skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation. The amount and quality of care was outstanding; she received much more attention that she would have in an at-home setting, and she was very impressed by the caring approach and personal care that was given to all of the other patients. WIthout question she (and I) would give the skilled nursing facility the highest rating for quality of service and results. And we love the full spectrum of services offered at Valle Verde - the staff is truly exceptional. If you are considering a retirement community, you can't beat Valle Verde!

I have visited friends at Valle Verde. They are pleased with their care. The place is always immaculate, the staff is caring, competent and dedicated to the patients. The administration is responsive and communicates well. I would have no qualms about going to this health care facility if the need arose. Valle Verde accepts patients from outside their residential community, but their residents always have priority.

I was a patient at Mission Terrace over the holidays this past year and have been meaning to put my gratitude into words since I left. Not only did they bring considerable cheer to the holidays, which could have been otherwise dreary and uncomfortable considering the circumstances, the lovely and always attentive nursing staff seemed to be reading my mind! It seemed that every time I needed something, they were there even before I asked, checking in on my comfort, pain level and general needs. This pervasive attitude can only be attained through excellent management and I am grateful that my doctor referred me to the care of Mission Terrace.

I’m a 52 year old man with various health conditions, and I’ve been a resident at Mission Terrace for a few months. Although I don’t plan to be here forever, I find it easy to consider this place a home. The entire staff, on the whole, is first-rate. The nurses are professional and friendly; the CNAs are kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with; the food is the best that I’ve ever had at a medical facility; and the place is virtually spotless and beautifully decorated.. There are all sorts of nice touches; one example is that the staff is neatly dressed in old-fashioned uniforms, which must be comforting to elderly patients. (Who I’ve always seen treated with dignity and care, including difficult ones.) I’ve seen some nursing homes in my time, and they’ve always seemed so sad. That is not an issue at Mission Terrace; it brims with energy, friendliness, and life.

The nurses were constantly speaking Tagalog, and Spanish, and they were rude to my mother after I politely asked then to please speak English when caring for her. They are severely under staffed on the night shifts, and patients have to soil themselves while waiting for help to use the restroom. The administrator does not seem to care about these issues. Sad place. I do not recommend it!

I was a patient for 20 days during the month of Sept 2012.

I was very impressed with the quality and care that was provided 24/7 by the entire staff. I understand that when one is Ill or incapacitated they can be difficult to care for, I thought this was handled in a very professional manner. I want to say thank you one and all for your concern toward your patients.

Our relative was a patient here and received terrible service. All they cared about was the money! After they were discharged, we started hearing accounts of faulty record keeping, falsifying patient records, poorly trained & limited English speaking "care givers," and poor sanitation in the areas that did not contain the "high end, showcase" rooms. We also heard from numerous people in Santa Barbara Mission Terrace & its owner had been sued numerous times and had been spending thousands of dollars in legal fees. Save yourself lots of grief and go elsewhere!
