    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Whittier Hills Health Care Center receives a mix of reviews, with many highlighting the positive aspects of care, staff professionalism, and the facility's environment. Several reviewers express gratitude for the compassionate and attentive care provided to their loved ones, including those undergoing rehabilitation for various conditions such as cancer, hip surgery, and knee fractures. The facility is praised for its cleanliness, good food, and the ability to accommodate special needs, including language barriers. The physical therapy team, in particular, receives numerous commendations for their skill, knowledge, and dedication to patient improvement.

    However, there are some negative experiences reported. One review mentions a lack of proper medical care leading to a return to the hospital, while another criticizes the nursing staff for being unhelpful and emotionally insensitive. Concerns about response times to patient needs and the facility's handling of COVID-19 precautions are also noted. Despite these criticisms, the majority of feedback is positive, with many families recommending Whittier Hills Health Care Center for its overall service quality and the caring nature of its staff.

    It's important to note that experiences vary, and while many have found Whittier Hills to be a supportive and effective facility for rehabilitation and care, there are instances where expectations were not fully met. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to consider the range of reviews and possibly visit the facility to make an informed decision.
