Atlantic Memorial Healthcare

Horrible place! Remember the movie Happy Gilmore where Happy’s grandma is out in a senior home and the medic torments her? Exactly what I thought about the place when I visited my father-​in-​law who buzzed for his nurse several times with no response. My daughter had to go to the nurses’ station and saw them yakking about their boyfriends, etc. She asked them nicely to assist and it was like a huge bother for anyone to come help him into the restroom! Geez what are they getting paid for? I consulted with a friend who’s in the business and he told me that facility is one of the worst in the industry and I know why! Beware if you take any of your loved ones there. The elderly patients looked so pitiful with pain in their eyes that said, «Please help!» Glad my in-​law is out! This place doesn’t even deserve one star!

Atlantic Memorial is a nice and clean facility with awesome staff that is willing to go beyond their job in order to make their patients happy. Rehab team results with fast recoveries for patients with the help of nursing and other departments very friendly atmosphere that makes you feel welcome and confident to ask any question or concern anyone might have ! Would totally recommend anyone to trust this rehab center with their family members

I love the rehab team at Atlantic Memorial! They are considerate, work well with patients and their families and team up with the activities, nursing and social services teams to provide the fastest and safest possible plans to return to the community! The rehab team has a creative and experienced team to help you get through your toughest times. One of my favorite experiences was a therapist telling me about how they assessed and changed the adaptive equipment to help a patient regain the ability to feed himself! Seeing patient’s regain their independence is what makes it all worth while.

Easily accessible and friendly staff. Across the street from Long Beach Memorial. Rehab department is very professional and provides quick recovery.

I struggle to see why Atlantic Memorial has been awarded 5 stars by anyone or any organization. I don’t think it’s too much to ask to keep the rooms clean, call patients by their names and attend a patient when called via the call button. The facility is small and yet still manages to be understaffed. It’s a rehab facility however, my grandmother is not assisted daily with walking. They would rather prescribe medication for blood clots as opposed to get her circulation going via mobility. Odd practice for a rehab facility.

Being a caregiver, I have been with my client several days a week (at different times during the day) for 5 months. When you walk in you will Never see a smile on the Receptionist’s face-​and that sets the tone for the rest of the facility.
A big concern of ours was the regular turnover of competent CNA’s-very sad because these are the people that have the MOST contact with patients at AM… not the LVNs and certainly not the RNs.
The waiting room that was mentioned in an earlier review has been turned into a another hospital room! There is absolutely no assigned place that a Confidential/​Family conversation can be held… one more example of the importance of the bottom line.
The staff talks and flirts with each other, but I have not seen a concerned conversation with a patient or caregiver yet. And yes, anyone can walk in and out without signing in-​I did not nor was ever asked to… this is dangerous because anyone could walk in do what they wanted in a room and with any luck would never be caught.
Perhaps my standards are high-​but given a choice I want my loved ones to be cared for by a facility with the highest standards.

Nice clean facility. Staff are are caring and professional. Call lights answered in a timely matter. Activities program is long enough to not bore the patients. Older facility and parking very poor.

This is the worst place ever! Do not leave your loved ones alone here. They claim to have the best wound care but failed to change the bandages on my fathers wound. Because of their lack my fathers infection spread. They even failed to follow the dr’s order on his medication and antibiotics. They claimed to have given him the antibiotics and got caught red handed lying. When we confronted them and showed them the proof they tried to turn the blame on us. The only reason my dad stayed here was because his oncologist was across the street. They even claimed to have stored his box of important papers but when we asked for it we where given the run around. Beware!!! You must be vigilant about the care your loved one receives here!
The only reason it has one star is because I was unable to post without any stars! But this place doesn’t even deserve that one star!

The people here are nice and check up on the patients quite a bit. My family has been happy so far with the care my grandpa has received these past weeks.

Place is definitely a top 3 consideration. I visited this facility before choosing a place for rehab after my surgery. The hospital recommended this place for rehab but I was not impressed with their abilities for nursing and rehab. As a patient I recommend visiting at least 3 places to compare. Remember looks and amenities does not equal great care. I chose another place and was very happy with my choice. The facility I choice had older TV’s but I was only there for 2 weeks. My friend used this facility and was not impressed with the rehab and nursing can be better.

Place is decent compared to the other health centers my 93 year old grandma has been to, and trust me she’s been to plenty all over L.A. and Long Beach.
What’s nice about this location is that is modern, place is easy to sign in and out, no hassle whatsoever. Nurses are nice, English you can understand. Place has a family/​business room for those who are bored, they can watch t.v. and go online (WiFi).
And best of all is that the staff is involved with the patients, giving them activities and a bunch of fun stuff to do. The place is decent for recovery and majority of the people who stay here leave (alive that is!) here.
