I was a patient here for over 3 months recovering from a left shoulder brake. When I was first admitted, I was in so much pain that I could barely move. Mila my CNA took wonderful care of me, especially in the beginning when I couldn’t do much for myself. All the staff are polite and nice. I loved going to the group activities and it really made my time here enjoyable. Ben, Brittany and Becky were wonderful and I owe all my strength and recovery to them. I am leaving today prepared to function independently in the real world again. I can’t thank American river enough for all the love and compassion they showed.

I was admitted to ARC a little over three months ago with a broken femur. My experience here has been great, everyone has helped me get stronger, healthier and ready to go back home! Ben and Brittany from therapy are amazing and truly cared and encouraged me to reach my full potential. When I first got here I couldn’t even stand up, and now I’m able to do everything I need in order to go home safely. They helped my fear of falling and gave me confidence to walk again. My CNAs, Mila, Millie and Amara were so helpful and careful with me. I have been to other skilled nursings before and they do not even compare to American River.

I have been in the hospital since the beginning of January. I transferred to ARC on September 12th. From the nurses, CNAs to the PT staff, my time spent rehabbing here was wonderful. I had never been to a skilled nursing facility and I honestly was not expecting much. But American river has exceeded by expectations. The personal attention to my care was top-notch from day one. It’s very clean, smells great, food is good and all the staff treat you with dignity and respect. The staff has helped me in every way possible for me to transition back to my everyday life.

When our loved one was in need of skilled nursing we made contact with Alex at the front desk who quickly reached out to Claire. They processed the paperwork quickly & my Dad was in. The care that my Dad received from the caregivers in station 1 was absolutely amazing. Mila cares for her residents like family. When I had questions & approached station 1 Julie was always so friendly & willing to help. If she didn't know the answer she would find it & get back to me. The facility is very clean. Julie, Luba & Maria from housekeeping would make it a point to stop by my Dad's room & say hi. That always put a smile on his face. Dexter in maintenance was always willing to help with earphones for the TV. Replacing them immediately when there was an issue. The food at this facility is delicious and the presentation of meals is excellent. The food has flavor & the variety of meals was excellent. While my Dad was at American River he lost a part of his insurance. Maggie & Mary were quick to help me get my Dad insured again. Something I was so grateful for & what a big burden off of my shoulders it was. Ivy helped me when I started receiving bills for my Dad's portion of payment from when he lost his insurance. There was a lot of staff Med-Techs and caregivers that came in contact with my Dad & his care unfortunately I don't remember all of their names but all of Station 1 is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend American River & am grateful for the amazing staff there.

I was a patient here for over 40 days after a hip operation. I've been to multiple SNFs and this has been the most wonderful experience by far. I have never met so many kind and caring people as I have here. Micah, Mina, Tovah, Naomi have been the best CNAs that I could have asked for and always helped me, no matter what time of day. Mahalia is the most fantastic therapist I have ever had and helped me recover. No one here has ever made me feel like I was a burden, and always cared for me like I was family. Staff went above and beyond. I will be recommending ARC to anyone and everyone who will need skilled nursing. I will definitely be coming back to visit everyone here. They are my family!
