I truly believe that the Korean Worship and Praise Program at La Palma Nursing has been a great blessing. Thanks to the teachers’ loving care and devotion, I have seen my mother’s dementia symptoms improve little by little. I am deeply thankful for the kindness and care shown to my mother and our family.

My husband spent 2 mos at La Palma. This staff has been a blessing. I could no longer care for my husband at home and I needed to find an assured living facility after he received rehab. The social services director walked me through all the steps I needed to take to make it happen. The place is always clean, my husband loves his aids and had a way better time at La Palma than he would have had at home. The physical therapy team really motivated him. So happy with this place.

Well my brother went into this place at 5 PM, 130 PM I get a call from La Palma telling me he died and I have 4 hours for a mortuary to pick him up. He went to the ER Tuesday 6:30 Am and nether place helped him . If you want your loved one to suffer this is the place. UPDATE: got the death certificate and it shows he had difficulty breathing and was dehydrated, I was in there the morning he died and say no IV bags or oxygen tube. this place caused his death.

My wife, aged 52, suffered a couple of strokes and was treated at Anaheim Regional Medical Center. They stabilized her and sent her across the street to the La Palma Nursing Facility. The first time I walked in to LPNF I was appalled as it seemed like a place where people go to die. The patients were lying nearly lifeless in their hospital beds and you could hear the bells dinging constantly as patients hit their buzzers/lights to get assistance and the nurses seemed oblivious to all of it and were highly non-responsive to my wife's needs. There were many times where my wife would be in agony and hitting her help button and nobody would respond. I had to literally fly down the hallway and get up their asses in order to get help. They would let her languish there for long periods of time when she was in discomfort and pain. The cause of death was cardiac arrest at 52 YEARS OLD????? It was probably caused by a pulmonary embolism but I also believe it's possible she may have had some sort of sepsis due to the lack of bowel movement and her distended stomach which they never even flagged that a doctor should look in to. They just gave her suppositories and an enema now and again. They kept her in a diaper laying in her bed for weeks on end. The day before she died I lit into them yet again and said "Why aren't you helping my wife to at least get up and start using the bathroom???" Their response was "Okay Mr. Allen we will start your wife on bathroom training"....THIS WAS NEARLY A MONTH AFTER SHE WAS ADMITTED!!!!!!!!!!! Good Lord almighty! Also, a double stroke patient and they don't administer leg compression at all? Laying in a bed for days/weeks on end causes the blood to pool up in the patient's legs but supervising Dr. never ordered it nor did any nurse at the facility. I only found out about leg compression after my wife had died or I would have most definitely made sure they were applying that to her. Also they barely kept her clean. I visited right after she supposedly had a shower and her hair was greasy and had dandruff flakes. They were the worst in caring for her. I wanted to move my wife out of there and asked her if she would be okay with it but she wasn't well and didn't want to move to another SNF. Her parents were present when I asked her this and they also thought it might be good to move her out of LPNC but my wife didn't want to hassle with it I suppose. La Palma Nursing Center is a terrible place. Negligent, slow to respond, etc. I believe with better care my wife would be alive right now. I filed a complaint with the California Department of Public Health and I am going to file another one and I've also secured a medical malpractice attorney who is going through over 500 pages of medical records from that place. This place is just the worst and I blame them for my wife's tragic death as she was making progress with her stroke issues. Her right arm was starting to gain function and her cognitive abilities were coming back. We all thought based on her great progress that it would be a couple of months or so when she could return home but then this tragic turn of events and I blame La Palma Nursing Center for the terrible service and neglect. It tears me up wondering how long my wife was struggling to breath and knowing she was in serious trouble before anyone discovered her. Her roommate had just moved out so my wife was alone in the room and based on what I know from experience on how lax and slow staff is in responding to buzzer calls it is my opinion that by the time they discovered her she was already deceased or very close to it and by the time paramedics arrive it was obviously too late to resuscitate her.
