My father was at this facility for 21 days and received excellent care! We were so pleased with the overall care! Everyone was so professional and helpful. The Medical Director was exceptional! He was so knowledgeable and compassionate! All the staff, from management, nurses, nursing assistants, PT, OT, social worker, activities (I hope I didn't miss out any) were wonderful! I used to visit my dad everyday, usually twice a day and felt so comfortable with the care, like he was home and was surrounded by professionals that felt like a loving family. The food was great and the facility and the grounds are beautiful. We are so blessed to have access to this amazing facility. My father and I thank you for the bottom of our hearts and highly recommend Carmel Hills Care Center!

I want to personally thank everyone at Carmel Hills. My grandma has had rehabilitation here, going on number 3. All of our family gets together every night and has dinner together. So when grandma has health issues we just cook and take dinner to Carmel Hills and they open their dinning room for us. This year was Thanksgiving.,not only did they open the dinning room ,they decorated it also. What a great care facility, they make us feel like a big family. This means more than they will ever know.THANK YOU

I was there for ~2week after back surgery. The team that worked with me were friendly, concerned and very helpful. I especially appreciated that as I improvement they stayed by but let me go at my very slow pace. The food was nutritious although not my favorite.(but I'm picky about food). Thanks to all in station 1.

My wife, Grace just spent three weeks at Carmel Hills Care Center recovering from hip surgery. The care was beyond belief. It was excellent I can’t imagine a better place. They treat her like a princess. Someone was always available to take care of her needs. It’s very impressive because everybody has worked there for years. There are no new people! Nobody wants to be there, but if you need this type of care, this is the place to go to thank you so much for all the people that took care of Grace and gutter on the road to recovery.

My mother entered the facility April 3rd of last year. She was also a hospice patient. The care that Carmel Hill has provided to my mom has been exceptional. They helped her live her last days with dignity and grace. They were responsive to her needs, although she was somewhat non-communicative. She was bathed daily and cleaned up on a regular schedule. The staff has been more that accommodating to our family's requests. They are truly an exceptional group to work with. My experience with my mother being a resident here has all been very positive. I find that if you have a loved one here it is very important that you are present that you visit often and get to know the staff. The CNA's took very good care of my mother and communicated well with our private caregivers. They were always attentive to all her needs and worked as a team with our private caregivers. The Nurses were exceptionally caring by making sure my mother took her meds with chocolate pudding. The activities staff were enthusiastic and caring; the kitchen staff were attentive to my mother’s preferences in food. The entire staff is to be commended for the professional way they go about difficult job they have. Once again, I would say that if you do have a loved one in care anywhere you should visit them often. I think that really affects their care, when the staff knows that your loved one is not just being dropped off but instead they are still an active part of their family. My mother recently passed away April 13, 2022 she had dementia. For years, we care for her at home and as she progressed, we had to make that hard decision to place her here. We are so fortunate to have found this place for my mother, how all the staff took such great care of her. I want to thank the administration Carole Dorsey, RN Director of Nursing Services for accommodating our whole family to be able to see my mom on her last moments of life, and Thank you to all the staff for the kindness and wonderful care you showed for my mother. Although we are still grieving her passing, it is a comfort to know that she was at the right place being cared for by the right people. Thanks so much for taking great care of my mom.
