    Spotless and friendly, dangerously understaffed

    I wanted to like this place-it's spotless, the food is good, CNAs and activity staff can be caring-but I would avoid. RNs/LVNs are scarce, administration is disengaged, and staff are often short-staffed, rude, and careless. Maintenance and visitor parking are lacking, it sometimes smells, alarms and monitoring (heart/oxygen) were ignored, pain and simple requests went unanswered, and departments don't communicate. I filed a complaint and wouldn't trust this for a loved one.

    About Buena Park Nursing Center

    Buena Park Nursing Center is a skilled nursing facility with 143 licensed beds and sees an average of about 129 residents daily, which keeps the place bustling throughout the year, and they've been around for over a decade, so they've gotten to know the community pretty well. The center provides a wide range of care, including dementia care, palliative support, hospice services, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, and specialized programs like pain management and wound care, so residents get different types of help all under one roof. Nurses spend about 5.27 hours with each resident per day, and while the nurse turnover rate is 33.7%, you'll still find a team of dedicated professionals including nurses, therapists, dietitians, and social workers, all working hard to give personalized care. Buena Park Nursing Center is a for-profit LLC that's affiliated with Janet & Brenda Mandelbaum, and it's got plenty of services, such as IV therapy, in-house dialysis, respiratory support like BiPAP and CPAP, sub-acute care, medication management, tube feeding, and support for folks with disabilities or health challenges.

    The building aims for a home-like feeling, offering things like clean and comfortable rooms, complimentary Wi-Fi and television, and they have a resident council, social events, and activities to help folks stay connected. For Korean-speaking residents, there's a specialized Korean Program with bilingual staff so culture and language won't be a barrier here, and it's set up as an enhanced services facility with long-term acute care, inpatient rehab, and even respite care for families who need a break. Buena Park Nursing Center lets prospective residents and their families tour the facility, and the staff does try to make sure everyone feels respected and part of what's going on. There's a good focus on helping each person adjust from admission to discharge, but the inspection history matters, too-the facility's been cited for 50 deficiencies on inspection reports, including three infection-related deficiencies and one related specifically to infection control, plus an environmental deficiency for equipment safety and one for resident rights concerning treatment and advance directives, so it's smart to keep those in mind when considering options. Even so, the team continues to offer comprehensive care and tries to support each resident's unique wellness journey, and there's information on their website for people who want to look deeper into what the center provides.
