Studio City Rehabilitation Center

My Great Aunt fell down a few stairs and luckily only really hurting of her shoulders. This rehabilitation center was fantastic. I had the opportunity to visit her here and had a great experience. The staff was so friendly not only to my aunt but also to me. They developed a personal relationship with her that I could see from the minute I walked in. My aunt said that she had an overall wonderful experience and if she ever had to go to a rehab center again, god forbid, she would want to come back here.
I always have so much respect for anyone who is willing to work with the elderly. The fact that all the staff her was so pleasant only adds to my respect for this center. If anyone is looking for a great rehab center, I will defiantly recommend this place.

I’ve seen a lot of facilities and Studio City Rehab is one of the best that I have been to. The staff is so friendly and professional, which is sometimes hard to come by in healthcare. Michelle and April in Admissions are always smiling and willing to help. Sheema, Phoebe and Mariela in social services work very hard to make sure their patients are well taken care of and a priority. They are so caring and compassionate! If any of my family members need nursing care, I will definitely have them come here!

i found loving and carring center for my mother, staffs are very nice and facility is very clean, i am really happy to find such a place real home for my mother. thank you to all the staffs

Run, don’t walk, AWAY from this place. It ‘s difficult to know where to start with the problems with Studio City Rehab. Lack of communication in nursing, billing, and admissions is a big issue and contributes to everything else. No matter how many times this was brought up during the 4 month stay, nothing was improved. The general answer to any questions about a patient’s status or health was «I don’t know. I just started my shift» or «I wasn’t here». Most of the staff are just there for a paycheck and treat the patients like bed numbers, taking an average of 15 minutes to answer a call light. Most of the time I had to get someone because it was longer. Cleanliness is another huge issue. Every time I visited, my loved one was sitting in soiled sheets. My sympathy to anyone with no choice but to place a family member here. Luckily an opportunity came up and I was able too be mine.

This place is horrible. Please don’t leave your loved ones here. My grandpa was here for two months and his waist size dropped from a 38 to a 17 with bed sores all over his body, and they refused to let us take him out. He caught pnemonia and We got him out as soon as possible but he passed away. This place does not care, there was urine on the floor, mats on the floor to let people fall out of their beds. My family is currently filing a lawsuit against this horrible place. They even let patients walk outside wandering the streets! Avoid this place

My brother was sent here from Cedars Sinai after he was stable from having a brain aneurysm with a trac in his neck and feeding tube in stomach. He was in a coma and placed in the Sub Acute Unit. Our family had no choice on where we could send him since he didn’t have medical insurance and his medical was pending. The ONLY reason I am rating this a three star is because of the staff. Every staff member that I came in contact with was very nice at least I thought so. One particular nurse I came across Elvira she was a sweet heart and always pleasant. The RT Julio was very nice and pleasant. Sheema the Social Worker and April those two young ladies were wonderful and very comforting to talk to. This is were my problem began with the DON Christine when I first met her she seem so caring and professional until after only one week (not even a full week) of being there my brother got a sore on his right ear. I know him being in the state he was in he was at high risk of getting bed sores. However, he was in Cedar Sinai for two weeks and not once did he get any bed sores. That let me know that he was not being turned every two hours as they promised, not to mention someone In the family was there everyday for more than two mores and not once did anyone come in to turn him. I was approached by Christine in the hall way and she said remember when I talk to you about bed sores. I said yes. She said your brother has one on his right ear since we cannot move him to the left side, so we are going to put his helmet back on so he can be moved to the left side (when he arrived at the facility he was sent with a helmet to protect his brain since his left skull was removed during surgery. I asked why was his helmet removed and was told since he’s not moving around on his own there was no need for him to wear the helmet). I stated to Christine he can’t be turned on his left side he has no skull. This is were the lie began. She stated oh yes he has a skull they only removed a little bit of it. I talked to the doctor. He will be fine. I was saved from being rude to her when my phone rung with a call from a different facility saying they were going to send their person out to evaluate my brother to make sure he is able to be placed in their facility. Christine lied straight in my face while giving me that big friendly we care smile. Upon speaking to my mother later that day after we left the facility she told me Christine met her at the front door and told her, you don’t have to come everyday, you should stay at home and take care of yourself so you don’t get sick. It’s our job to take care of him (my brother) and we are going to put his helmet back on him (she never mentioned the sore on his ear to my mom). She was completely out of line. My mother had arrived there around 11am that day, I came around 2pm. It was around 3pm when I was approached by the DON. Christine went into his room with another young man showing him how to take care of the wound. No one came in to turn him or clean him up during the time my mother was there four hours later she (Christine) decided to take care of the sore that had to be detected earlier in the morning. When my brother head was moved to clean the sore it made me sick to my stomach that sore had to be there for at least two days the way it had spread, so now he has his helmet back on and a neck pillow to support his head which should have been placed at the beginning of his stay. My brother was evaluated and accepted into the other facility. Unfortunately he had to be sent out to the hospital from this location. Once he is stable again he will be going to the new facility which I had the opportunity to go and tour and evaluate for myself.

I love this place everyone that took care of me were so nice thank you guys! I started from subacute which is like a coma then now I’m in snf station 1 which is by the door soon I’ll be walkinoutta here the therapy team are great I had a brain surgery which the doctor said my left side would be paralized I had anurysm in my brain that pop while I was riding my motocycle that cause a stroke so I fell off my bike they did a craniactomy on me which remove the part of my skull to give rooms for my swollen brain to expand after cedar Sinai they sent me here the doctor said my left side would be paralized I know I can’t give up I’m not laying in bed while all my friends and families are out and having fun buttherapist team here they got me up and walking with a walker then slowly move to a cane when I first came I can’t even stand I’m the guy with all the tubes picture on the leftof me sitting well even to turn it hurts me but now I work hard and allow to go home once a week so that’s a progess thanks everyone of you guys here’s lot of families with the same surgery been stoping by and asked me questions how I did it?

NATIT sopa!

I have never had the experience of a Skilled Nursing Facility… but when I had to make a decision for a place to house my family friend and neighbor, who had no other family besides myself, I looked at 2 facilities close to my home.
I visited one place in Sherman Oaks…& although it appears glamorous on the outside… I walked in and it was very smelly… and the people were all pretty catatonic…(the other residents) it did not seem like a friendly place…(although those impressions are not necessarily so… I instinctively thought twice about it…)
I then went to visit Studio City Rehab Center. It was bustling with activity and, although I am not a smoker… they offered a smoking patio, which accommodated the terrible habit that my 71 year old friend had never been able to kick.
The staff was very kind to me when I expressed my need to visit on hours that were not necessarily when their «visiting hours» were. I work wonky hours at my job. I asked a thousand questions and they were very generous at answering them and providing necessary changes when I asked. I was fortunate to also be working with Mission Hospice, who also had people visiting Bill and making requests for Bill’s needs as they cropped up; ie. a different, inflatable mattress, a cushion for his wheel chair for his sores. We had weekly meetings with several staff members to make sure that all of his needs were being met, his medications were being properly administered and as his Medical Power of Attorney so that I was fully aware of any and all changes in his health and if I could assist the staff in keeping his sometimes cantankerous behavior at bay.
Because the facility was halfway between my home and where I work, I was able to stop off on my way to work and on my lunch hour. They let me bring my dogs on a leash, which was so important to Bill! He had walked my dogs for 12 years and they were very close; they were important to each other… we were all family.
Although it was difficult for Bill to feel like he had lost his independence, when it became clear that he could no longer take care of his needs, the staff at Studio City Rehab Facility were all very kind to him and gentle in spirit, for he could be very curmudgeonly, as is to be expected, when he had never had to live by rules.
I was able to bring him «home» to my house to visit my cats, whom he also loved like family.
He passed away on Earth day this year, and I will cherish the time that I had with him and the tender care that I feel like he received at this facility.
I feel very comfortable recommending this facility to people. It is a hopeful place. Since it is a REHAB center they do offer physical therapy and you don’t feel like you are stuck.
When I was in a play, that centered on a woman having a stroke, I went back to the center to invite the staff (since all of the research for the piece I had done serendipitously while visiting Bill) and I ran into another friend of mine… so now I go back and visit regularly.

My grandma needed long term care and her insurance company sent her here. She continued to decline for months. After doing some research we were able to find a facility closer to us and we liked the looks of a little more and that had better reviews. Since she has been in the new place we discovered Studio City was over drugging her which accounted for the decline. Now that she is properly medicated she is actually improving.
The nursing staff was always available when we visited and seemed friendly, but the administrative staff was shady and handled the finances quite questionably to say the least. If you are unlucky enough to need a long term care facility, keep looking.

After my review, i received a phone call from administration from Studio City Rehab. I was pleased that they wanted to have a meeting and discuss the issues i was having. After meeting with them i was very impressed that they took the time to meet with me to discuss my concerns. They have met almost all of my demands and my grandmother seems much happier now. I am very appreciative of their efforts and now i’m much more at ease knowing my grandmother is in good hands.

I wont pretend to know the ins and outs of what to expect from this type of facility — maybe I’m disconnected because I’m a 30-​something who’s gonna «live forever»? BUT I do know that when grandma got sick and ended up here — they treated her pretty decent!
Whenever I would visit they had (free valet? — THAT’S SO L. A) the nurse staff was always friendly and grandma always seemed happy. The place smelled like old people but it was clean, though I wouldn’t eat off the ground! Maybe that’s just my experience — no one wants to go to a place like this but — if she wasn’t in the care of family in Texas now I’m sure grandma wouldn’t mind if she had to go back to see her friends here.
I think I even saw one of the band-​mates from the Eagles staying there one time. haha useless fact but I thought it was interesting.

I am in disbelief about the reviews for Studio City Rehabilitation. My grandfather has been a resident at Studio City Rehabilitation for over 2 years. He was admitted to the facility after he had frequent falls related to his dementia and decreased vision. He is on Station 3. I visit him at least once a week and he always appears to be well taken care of. The staff is very knowledgeable when I ask them questions about my grandfather’s care and every few months they invite me to a meeting so we can discuss his care and I can address any concerns I have. Fortunately I don’t have any.
I cannot understand how someone could leave their loved one in a place that they rate so poorly. If you are unhappy and doubting the credentials of the place why would you leave your loved one there. I suggest you immediately request a transfer or at least a meeting to discuss how to improve your concerns.
I really feel that Studio City is a good facility. They take good care of the residents in the facility and I am very happy with the way they take care of my grandfather. I have no problem giving studio city rehabilitation a positive reference based on my experience in the facility.

The review above couldn’t be more RIGHT! The staff is inhumane, uncaring, and treat the residents like garbage. The staff clearly recognizes that the residents are helpless and they have created a bully-​victim environment.
My mother went to Studio City Rehabilitation Center after surgery and was supposed to stay there a few weeks. The FIRST night, around 2am, she needed assistance in going to the bathroom. The nurse told her she was busy and that she’d put a diaper on her and she could just pee in her bed, right in to the diaper. What?!! I couldn’t believe this. My mother was got up on her own (and had broken ribs at the time), and slowly made her way to the bathroom, but on the way, she was stopped by the nurse who was furious that my mother would dare to get up by herself. Other nurses joined in and took my mother back to her bed, wasn’t allowed to use the bathroom, and her buzzer was taken away from her (because they were angry at her for this «insubordination» on my mother’s part). She was completely helpless. She begged them to allow her to call me, and my mother and are are best friends, and I would have rushed over there in an instant. Instead, they told her that no only will she NOT be allowed to call me, but they will not give her breakfast as «punishment» for her crying and wanting to call me.
After reading what I just wrote, it sounds too hideous even to be true. But please believe me, it IS true. And this was just the treatment toward my mother. Others were being mistreated and abused in this horrible place. The very next morning, I went to visit my mother, around 7am. Of course, after hearing what had happened the night before (and my mother was sharp as a tack, a brilliant articulate woman who read 7 books a week and painted me a very clear picture) I took her out of there immediately.
My heart broke for the other patients who were left to marinate in their own urine and the place absolutely STUNK of urine.
The picture I’m painting here is mild. I feel that I have a responsibility to others to write this review. This place needs to be closed down immediately! It will break your heart to go to this place.

My mother stays in this rehab center for 3 years now and I couldn’t be happier with the services and care she receives. The staff is always friendly and attentive and going out of their way to accommodate us and make my mother’s stay there pleasant.
I’ve checked a few centers for her and this is by far the best.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. My poor mom was forced to go there for a few months when we didn’t know where else to go, and it was horrible. Plus, Mom was restricted by being Medicare and MediCal.
First of all, they are NOT accredited.
They are very understaffed, and what staff there is, is either badly trained, or completely clueless. This is one of those places that does the bare minimum to pass state inspection, and then is a nightmare for their poor residents, when no one is looking.
I would visit my mom numerous times per week, and I often found her arbitrarily and over-​medicated, frightened and crying, sometimes naked and sideways across her bed, in the middle of the day — completely ignored by staff. I had to have her evacuated to Verdugo Hills Hospital, where she was fine. Thank god I found another place after that.
One time I was there to check on her, and some poor soul needed oxygen. First, the staff couldn’t find the oxygen tank. Then they couldn’t figure out how to operate it. They ran around like Keystone Cops trying to find another tank. Meanwhile, the patient was dying of asphyxiation. Really, the place was a joke when it wasn’t a nightmare.
This place was later successfully sued for negligence, but the payments to residents was so small (50 cents per day in residence) it was a joke.
We were not part of that suit, since I frankly had more serious problems to focus on. Warning you now is time better spent! My mom would be happy to know I did a good deed and spared someone the (literal) nightmares they put her through.
It’s hard enough to deal with nursing homes — if you love them at all, please do your loved ones a favor and AVOID this place AT ALL COST. This place is the rock bottom. It’s actually a sin they are in business at ALL. If there is any justice in this life, the owners of the corporation who run this place will burn in hell for the callous way they EXPLOITED old people for profit!
