Whittier Pacific Center

its funny how people complain about this place but continue to stay..hmmm makes a lot of sense.

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.
