This nursing home felt like a modern-day East Berlin. Although no physical barrier existed, the persistent pressure to remain and the obstacles placed in the way of discharge created the impression of an invisible wall designed to keep residents inside and prevent them from leaving.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Kennedy Care Center

I would not recommend this facility. The nurses, social worker, and administrator repeatedly insisted my grandfather needed to stay because his condition was “too serious,” yet he did not return home in better condition after his stays. I was treated very unfairly. At one point, I was asked to leave and prevented from visiting my grandfather, as if they had the authority to decide who gets to visit him. On two separate occasions, I was not allowed to take him home—once despite having General Power of Attorney, and another time even after his doctor had discharged him and I was told I could pick him up. The lack of respect, communication, and transparency was extremely frustrating. Based on our experience, I would not trust this facility with a loved one.

I visited this facilityReview of Belmont Village Hollywood Heights

Belmont Village Hollywood Heights did not have skilled nursing, so we did not really consider it very seriously. It's on a main street. The interior was decent and modern, and it's a new building. The dining area was OK. They have a decent exercise room. It was a clean facility.

Sakura Gardens' rooms were kind of small and noisy. The staff was OK. It's an old building, so the dining area was old and rundown. They had a vegetable garden.
