El Centro Post-Acute

El Centro Post-Acute is a skilled nursing community with 123 beds that serves seniors who need ongoing healthcare or short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, and there's a dedicated team including registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, restorative nursing assistants, and licensed therapists who work around the clock to help people recover from surgery, injuries, illness, or manage daily care for chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiac issues, stroke, wounds, or orthopedic problems, and they've got physical, occupational, and speech therapies, plus special rehab programs for balance, falls, neurologic conditions like MS or Parkinson's, and even things like lipidemia therapy and orthopedic rehab. The facility offers care plans designed for each resident, covering pain and medication management, wound care, catheter or ostomy care, and nutrition programs developed by an on-site licensed dietician working with the culinary crew to provide specialized meal planning, and the staff strives to keep everyone comfortable with daily housekeeping, laundry, and Wi-Fi access for residents who want to stay engaged online, and there are semi-private rehab suites along with spacious common areas where people can spend time when they're not doing therapy or enjoying the therapeutic activities set up for physical, emotional, and social support. The health team operates under Scott Kirby since March 2021, and while the facility offers a wide range of services, like emergency call systems in every room and 24-hour nursing care, there have been state inspection reports showing deficiencies, including how pain management's handled, safe disposal of garbage and refuse, and specific quality of life and dietary issues like those noted under Quality of Life and Care Deficiency F0697 and Nutrition and Dietary Deficiency F0814, so those things are worth noting if you're deciding where to get post-acute or long-term skilled nursing care, especially with current nurse staffing at 3.38 hours per resident per day, which sits below the state average, and a nurse turnover of 46.8%, higher than the usual average in California. The community is part of Bayshire Senior Communities and is owned by Bayshire LLC, licensed under number #374603618, and supports both health and emotional needs with its programs, but when thinking about the care environment, it's important to recognize both the strengths in services and some of the cited areas where improvement's needed.
