Our experience with this facility was extremely disappointing. A family member was admitted here with the hope of receiving proper care, but instead her condition worsened during her stay. We repeatedly raised concerns with staff, but many of those concerns were ignored or not taken seriously. Communication was poor, and there seemed to be a lack of resources, attention, and overall care. It was very upsetting to watch a loved one decline while under the supervision of a nursing facility that is supposed to provide support and monitoring. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this place to other families.

Took my mom on Dec.3,2025 and requested a release from the Dr because my mom was not been taking care of. She got in fine in the way of talking and got her out on Sunday Dec.5th, 2025 because I noticed that she was talking nonsense and mentioned to the nurse and never got back to me with an answer. I requested 3 times for my mom's medication record and the nurse never provided me with the record. My mom is going through cancer and I don't RECOMMEND ANYONE THAT HAS CANCER TO STAY IN THAT PLACE!!!!

My name is Victoria and I was a patient here for 9 days recovering from knee surgery. I have a 50 year history working as a consultant dietitian in long term care facilities in Northern California and now a short history as a patient. Watsonville nursing center provided me with excellent care in all departments. Nursing, dietary, activities, housekeeping, physical and occupational therapy services were all professional, respectful, and most of all showed great compassion. Thanks to all of the staff!!
