Alexandria Care Center — Local services in Los Angeles

My husband spent 3 miserable days and nights in this horrible place. It is woefully understaffed and thus unresponsive to the needs of the patients. He was placed in a room with a man who talked and yelled day and night. when I arrived at 11AM on Sunday, my husband said he had asked to be cleaned ,but no one came to do it and he wanted to be moved because yelling man had turned into screaming man!

Her doctors and physical therapist updated us on her progress throughout her stay. I was very pleased with her care. I’m grateful to Alexandria and...

5/2018 - Seems like a decent place (they seem to be staffed quite well) for a patient, but if you try to phone a patient they are so bad. On wait for 10-15 minutes, phone disconnects, transferred to the wrong patient. Just a terrible system they have there. The phone has to be physically carried to the patient for some patients. Needs major improvement. Also as with most places the food is way sub- par, could be due to the fact "tasty" food may not be good for the diet. Although they are supposed to have valet parking, but parking can be a challenge, as the streets...
