Sharon Care Center

At first glance Sharon care at the most, smelled better than most nursing facilities. The staff seemed very disconnected from true patient centered care. My father broke his ankle and at his advanced age dementia speed up its course. At first I thought he just wanted to be home when he complained about the care he was receiving. Then one night I heard the nurse antagonizing him when I called him. He asked her 3 times at my request what was her name. She would not tell him. But, she countered with she could make him stay there longer. When I called the station they said no one was in the room with him. Even though I clearly heard her over the phone. When I complained to management (Lee Ron) who assured me it would be investigated the response was «I spoke to my staff and that did not happen.» Then his appointment to get his cast off was canceled by a nurse (Jennifer). Lee Ron (an administrator) insisted the Doctors office canceled, when I didnt know Jennifer from the hole in the ground she obviously climbed out to do patient care to accuse her, nor the fact the Doctors office had her name and time /​date plus the asinine reason she gave for cancelation.
Also, no one called to tell me not to come the 70 miles to accompany my father to the appointment she had canceled.
The physical therapist however, seemed committed to her job and had a genuine caring relationship.
Several times I was placed on perpetual hold when I was calling to inquire on how my father’s condition.
Mind you Marisela was great, a couple others (the bad apples names always stand out) gave good care.
The water in his room had no pressure, they never looked in his draw for his teeth until I told them where they were, after the nurse neglected to look in a bag that the Cedars Sinai nurse delivered, then his change came up missing. Noresia needs a new job, clearly in over her head. Lee Ron, although he stands up for his staff, right is right! Correct negative behaviors! Fostering bad work habits, giving no accountability and covering up is bad work ethics. In my opinion they owe my father and I an apology.
If you can spend every day here with your family member then you might better appreciate Sharon Care experience. Not I, not my father nor my family.

My fiancé came here from Cedars for skilled nursing care and to get back on track. He was in Express Recovery and the nurses and staff were very nice and helpful. Our favorite nurse is Meley. She was professional and was on it with medications. Psychical therapist Wynn and Aaron really were amazing at getting my fiancé back on his feet and walking after he was told it wasn’t possible. The express recovery program was great and now we are on the right track to recovery. Sharon Care is a great place to come and I’m thankful for their services and having insurance.

This place has definetly changed from the last time I was here back in April 2012. I was admitted to Sharon Care Center for therapy from hip surgery back in 2012 and was kind of hesitant to come back this time around. My physician suggested that I go back for rehabilitation. I had a couple options to choose from but I decided to give Sharon Care Center another chance. I am very glad that I made the decision to come back because this place has definetly changed for the better. The Administrator of the facility was very kind along with the rest of the staff. Their therapists are PHENOMENOL. With the agressive therapy I was able to go back home within a couple weeks. This place has changed for the better and I will come back if I need to.

You’ve seen this place in your dreams. Your very bad dreams.
Even though I was transferred from a hospital, the staff didn’t know I was coming. I waited outside lying down on the backseat in a cab –when I should have been in an ambulance on a gurney– for over 20 minutes.
Three beds jammed into a room meant for two; dark and unwelcoming. What I could see in the dark, was dirty. Things looked like they’d been wiped down with a dirty rag. There were bits of (food?) particles stuck to all the surfaces. Loud, blaring TVs trying to outshout each other. I was told the facility couldn’t be responsible for my valuables. Someone was crying in a nearby room. Soon I was crying, too. I’d had major surgery and I felt afraid something bad would happen to me if I stayed there.
I was inside for a couple hours before I called Cedars back and said Get me the Hell out of here.
I told the ambulance driver how long I’d been there and he said he couldn’t have lasted five minutes in the place.
