Mostly, this establishment is very well run. However, Elana, a CNA, is terrible there. She totally injured my 82 year old mom with her brusk, impatient attitude, yanking her broken arm to move her. Then she smiled. Evil. Should not work here. The rest of the staff is awesome. Fire Elana!

After visiting several skilled nursing facilities in anticipation of my spouse’s discharge from Stanford Medical Hospital, I made an unplanned visit to Atherton Park Post Acute to request a tour. From the moment I arrived, the experience stood out. The reception was exceptionally kind and welcoming—truly above and beyond anything we encountered at other facilities in the area. Although the Admissions Director was on leave, the Administrator personally and graciously provided a tour. The organization, cleanliness, and overall setup of the facility made an excellent first impression and quickly gave us confidence. Choosing Atherton Park Post Acute for my spouse’s post-acute rehabilitation following serious heart surgery and valve replacement felt like the right decision. Affiliation with Stanford Medical Practices was very important to us, and Atherton Park exceeded our expectations. The Stanford physician overseeing care was outstanding—professional, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. What truly sets Atherton Park Post Acute apart is the strength and cohesion of its team. It was clear that strong procedures and effective processes are in place, and the staff works seamlessly together. The nursing teams, physical and occupational therapists, and speech therapist were all exceptional, consistently going above and beyond for each patient. The administrative and social services staff were equally supportive and impressive. I highly recommend Atherton Park Post Acute to any patient who needs quality rehabilitation and is committed to actively participating in their recovery. Our experience was outstanding, and we are deeply grateful for the care provided.

The facility & program work! IMO, progress is assisted when you as the patient do your part to participate in the program and activities where you can. (Recovery wasn’t easy; it was work.) Where I started: I had emergency open heart surgery to address severe endocarditis (a bacterial infection) that had damaged my heart and aortic valve. I finally arrived to Atherton Park, Post Acute (APPA) Skilled nursing facility six weeks after my surgery & hospitalization. Upon arrival, I was delicate. Making matters more complex, I arrived with preexisting herniated discs, & a spasmodic lower back. I could barely move. For the first couple of days, I was stuck in bed. The resident Doctor, Dr Cassandra Gross (insert emoji heart), quickly worked on managing my pain. Dr Gross carefully manages & monitors the medical needs of all the patient residents ; she was always accessible & instrumental to my long term wellness & recovery. 4 weeks following my arrival to the (APPA) , I wasnt only back on my feet, I was demonstrating an overall wellness of being, restored mobility & independent functionality. I was ready discharge to home health outpatient therapy & nursing. This is a testimony of the facilities capabilities. I packed my own bag, dressed myself, managed the bathroom, bathing, and my hygene on my own and walked using only a cane (having arrived and barely able to move.) I had preorganized my home care in advance before discharge following (APPA) support & their direction very closely. (And this key: there is always a lot of excellent & supportive information & services available.); I could not have managed an accelerated recovery without (APPA) support and guidance. The nursing staff are truly skilled, caring, timely, & attending. From administering my meds around the clock, to IV antibiotics (3 times daily), to dressing my pressure wounds (daily, thank you Charmila, insert emoji heart) & changing the dressing on my PICC line (& flushing them daily)—I needed a lot of nursing & the (APPA) nurses were on point! Special thanks to Karla, Jennifer (so punctual), and incredible RN’s Monica (insert heart emoji), Soline, & Vladimir, and late night nurses Sabrina, “J” (Joonjin) and Gerard. The Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) are ever present and supportive of your every limitation (while in bed). From bathing, to toileting, to meal services and making sure your comfortable—special acknowledgment to Camillo (insert heart emoji), Michael, Punnamina, and late night, Victoria, ever present, attending, and kind. Thanks to all for lifting my spirits and keeping me comfortable. OMG, Physical Therapy Division are so kind-hearted, hardworking, smart & informative; their training is very effective at restoring confidence! retraining muscle and rebuilding strength to assist mobility limitations. Not to be forgotten, the joyful fun, & therapeutic play that is part of occupational therapy. I have departed APPA completely functional thanks to this team! And they’re very good at going at your own pace; no one is making you do anything you are not confortable doing. Special appreciation to Amanda (insert heart emoji) AAustin is awesome, Kris & Aiden gave me flexibility, posture & balance; Esmeralda instilled confidence & fearlessness reaching towards boundaries, reinforcing all the achievements over the course of one month. And not to be forgotten, my voice coach (Reechy): my vocal cords were impaired during surgery; I arrived to the APPA with no more than a whisper. I departed with my voice fully restored and excercises to continue with in my own. The Atherton Park Post Accute proved to be the perfect nursing facility following my discharge from Stanford Medical. From the well equipped facility, to its amiable management & staff, to its programs & nursing capabilities, its gym, & and its affiliation to Stanford, my spouse selected the Atherton Park Post Accute over all the other skilled nursing he visited. In the end, APPA exceeded all of our expectations.
