Whittier Pacific Center

Whittier Pacific has been an excellent place to work. The building is clean, the staff are friendly. The capability to care for not only skilled nursing residents but also subacute residents gives staff opportunity to provide care for a wide variety of conditions. Several staff members have long tenures at the facility and show a real commitment to the residents and facility.

My mom is a resident here and ever since she came she has excelled in many areas from the staff in front to activities they have all been great in helping my mom in getting better!
Thank you WPC

This place is horrible. Management does not care about the loyal staff. Eva known as "DSD" from management belittles her employees and pressures them to work double shifts (16-hour shifts). She then retaliates on those employees who do not stay and work the extra hours. It is very unprofessional for a manager to do. This leads to unsafe patient care when an employee is forced to work these long hours.

Also, one of the Male RN supervisors is so nasty to staff. He makes up lies and harasses the good employees. Meanwhile, others continue to work there and truly do not belong in the profession. I have heard many horror stories about this place and how patients are treated. Being a healthcare professional myself, I would never want my loved one in this care setting.

My father was here for a month and almost died in this facility due to lack of proper wound care. They do not attend to patients needs right away. We visited my father everyday to make sure he was ok little did we know the proper care his wound needed was not given. Wound specialist claimed it was getting better when it wasnt true. Very dissapointed and upset this place operates like this. Please be careful when sending your loved ones here.

Great place to work. DSD is very helpful and informative when I have questions. And she always steps in when we are short staffed to work the floor. A lot of people writing bad reviews are the ones who get caught being unprofessional and not doing their job, so they get upset when they have to actually work .

Small nursing home, but does have a sub acute area. I would not recommend this place, they do a poor job of caring for their patients hygiene ,resulting in patients having bed sores, infection ,and body odor.many families complain of the same issues.My biggest issue is they wait way to long to call 911 to have patients transfered to a hospital for emergency services, which results in a higher mortality rate then other facilities.

I am in my fifth week at Whittier Pacific Care. I am getting better and soon it will be a sad farewell to all the incredible pampering I have been enjoying. The staff has been wonderful, happy and caring. The food is delicious, prepared by a chef who sincerely loves his work and filling people's tummies. This is quite a large facility. There is even a wing where unfortunately end-of-life patients are looked after. Staff is always available and ready to care for your needs. In therapy, something I dreaded ahead of time, the therapists are not a nightmare but a dream come true! They work with you and never push you beyond your tolerance. A happy patient, all I can say is pleasantries. Whittier Pacific Care - a great place to get better!

After many days of complaints about broken leg on my wheelchair, I found my hero. Jennifer! She located the correct foot holder for wheelchair and installed it. Now I can finally use bed and wheelchair intermittently to give legs a chance to unwind. YAY Jennifer! Also, the commode has been repaired!

During my second week here. Most of the people who work here are amazing! They do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. The food is good, which is surprising for a long term facility. (Example: today’s lunch was extraordinary! Street tacos with rice and beans, and peaches.) I am still experiencing problems with two items, both of which aid in “returning me to normal” - one is my wheelchair. The wheelchair I am using first had no rests for feet or legs, later the legs were different - one short, one long. The therapist fixed the short leg, yet now the other leg is broken, and that is the injured leg. So I put in a new request, yesterday and today, for hopefully a different and working wheelchair. Also, the commode in the bathroom has one widened arm and one shortened arm. Best if both were widened and I requested that today. Other than that, everything is great! And I’m not sure how to add reviews, so edited my original with this.

So this new patient will return with another review. Soon.

In the meantime, all employees of this center are friendly, happy and will do what they can to help and to please.
