Legacy Nursing And Rehabilitaion Center

I can’t say enough about this facility! I brought my father here from a manor care facility in long beach where he was being mistreated. After a long drive from the Long Beach area to Martinez, the Director greeted us at our vehicle and immediately referred us to the hospital. It appeared to the director that my father had scabies and she did not want to jeapordize the other patients. After a 7 day stay I discovered that not only was my dad infected with scabies but was also malnourished and severely dehydrated. Legacy assured me that my dad would have a spot at their facility when my dad was stable and healthy enough to return, and they kept their word.
My dad spent 2 years at this facility and he was always clean, dressed, up and out of his bed and well fed. My dad did not have the ability to clearly communicate, but that did not stop the staff from talking to him and engaging him. My dad had also lost the ability to feed himself, so the staff would make sure to feed him and keep me informed of any changes in his eating habits.
Let me just say, Legacy does not have all the bells and whistles, but if you want your loved one to be well cared for and to have that personal touch then I highly recommend this place.

Where do I begin? They accepted my 94.5 yr old father with open arms, and he is happy and well cared for! There is a beautiful flower filled garden, gorgeous patio, large multipurpose room for activities, and gracious dining room with aquarium.
Everyone — the aides, CNA’s, LVN’s, RN’s, admission coordinator Sharon and assistant Zube, and Administrator Dipa — is so very nice!!! He is very well cared for.
Within 2 days of arrival, they had discovered that he likes to sing. There are so many activities — he is in activities all day (except for when he naps). Games, art & crafts, music, singalongs, movies, exercises, bingo, daily coffee socials, bible study, etc.
Wonderful place and amazing people. Totally deserves its 5 STAR Medicare rating! We feel so blessed that he is at Legacy. Thank you so much, and God Bless You all :)))

I have a friend in this nursing home and visit her frequently. It’s horrible. The food is nearly inedible. The place is understaffed so it is hard to get the attention of a CNA, let alone a nurse, if there is a problem. Today my friend told me that they are out of two medications she must have EVERY DAY. She is on a waiting list for 2 other places. I hope a place comes up before my friend dies of neglect. My advice is to avoid this place at all costs.
I have no idea why there are so many positive reviews. But I am in touch with my friend everyday by email and I get the blow-​by-​blow account. I don’t know about the other people but my friend is not senile so she is alert to what is going on. Some of the CNAs and nurses may be nice but that’s not the whole story. The admin has been cutting back more and more, even since the last reviews in June. It wasn’t too bad when my friend first came there several years ago, but 3 admins later, she’s VERY sorry she did.

My father spent 3 years with Legacy Nursing and Rehab center, and I want to say they were all so incredibly kind, nurturing and caring for my father.
There are horror stories about nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. My father came there via hospice declaration by Kaiser Walnut Creek. He got better, and it was determined he at a severe urinary tract infection. So kudo’s to them right off the batt, nursing my father back from dear death!
My dad is an incredibly difficult person to deal with, and once he recovered, is old self surfaced, and he quickly became what I am sure was a huge pain in the A. for Legacy’s entire staff! I could not have done it, for sure — dad was a nightmare my whole childhood.
I want to give a specific shout out to Jeanne Eastridge, Legacy’s Social Services and Discharge head person. She is that kind of incredibly warm hearted person that an employer is lucky to have. You cannot train such incredible customer service and attitude!!! Jeanne was constantly harassed by my father to do things like drive him places, to call me and my brother to do so, on and on (things she need not have even paid attention to). She handled my father with grace and dignity, and was incredibly effective in calming him.
My dad ultimately moved to join my mom in a skilled nursing facility she just transferred to that is much closer to us kids, and dad will miss Jeanne, and Dipa, the head administrator at Legacy, along with the entire, wonderful staff.
I give 5 stars!!!

My mom spent the last 5 months of her life here. She received excellent care and I was impressed by the very kind, compassionate employees. The best part was that Legacy is dog friendly and I could bring my dog to visit my mom and it meant the world to her.

I feel very fortunate to have had my clinical’s done here at Legacy. I am in the CNA program at American College of Nursing I graduate next week on May 9^th. I feel that I am more than ready to take the American Red Cross state test on May 20^th since I have had so much experience here. The first day I walked in to Legacy I have to admit I was very nervous to actually be hands on and have to perform ADL’s for the residents. I was encouraged by the CNA I had that day to just jump right in. I just cleaned the residents the way I had learned from my CNA school book and then perform other necessary daily living tasks. I had gone from feeling uncomfortable to comfortable working with the residents in one day! Today was my last day and I was solo on cleaning my patient while the CNA was watching. The CNA’s provided answers to all my questions and were always very helpful. The CNA’s here do all the work by the way. The deserve to be more noticed for their exceptionally hard work and dedication that they put in to their job.
There is many different residents in this facility and the all stole my heart! I admire each and every one differently and I am going to miss them!
I left an application on the administrators desk today since today was our schools last day being there for the clinical’s. Lets hope I get call to come in for an interview! I would really love to work everyone again :)
Thank you legacy for providing American College the resources we need to learn and succeed! — Angela Pfeiffer

When looking for a place for my sister in law to go, we were very pleased with Legacy. The staff here was very nice, and caring. The nurses who took care of Tara were the best. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for her. They were gentle, caring, and listened to our concerns, wants, and needs. As soon as we walked in, they greeted us with a smile, and a hello. That is so important, when you know your loved one will be spending time time there. especially their last days. Our family is grateful for them, and how they treated Tara. Not only did we feel their genuine care and love, but so did Tara, and that was the most important. I highly recommend this place to anyone, and wouldn’t even mind staying there myself one day if needed.

I have been coming here recently for my clinical for my CNA training program. Thus, I mainly work with CNA’s and their residents that they are taking care of. This facility has changed for the better, its very clean, with new paint to spruce things up. I am not sure how many residents are currently residing there, but I know it can hold nearly 110 residents. The charge nurses, LVNs, physicians and CNAs are all very nice and helpful and truly care for their residents.
