Live Oak's Rehabilitation Center — Local services in San Gabriel

I am very pleased to report that my 94-year-old mother had a highly positive experience during her initial three-day treatment at Live Oak Rehab Center. A significant decline in her strength late last year necessitated a three-day emergency hospital stay, which left her feeling discouraged. Thanks to the exceptional care provided by Alex, Chris, Alan, Armando, and the entire team, my mother has regained her confidence and enthusiasm for life. Alan's assistance greatly improved her ability to move between her bed and the bathroom. In addition, a nurse's thoughtful provision of denture adhesive has led to an improvement in her nutritional intake.

This is a follow-up review, two months after the previous one. I reaffirm the five-star rating for this facility. Following her initial three-week rehabilitation stay, my mother reported significant improvement and expressed a desire to return home. However, the rehabilitation team leader, Alan, and the social coordinator, Gigi, appropriately advised that her recovery was incomplete and required physician approval for discharge. Following the physician's approval, my mother was discharged. Unfortunately, a subsequent fall resulted in a spinal fracture requiring surgery. She has therefore been readmitted to Live Oak Rehabilitation Center.

As before, the facility was well-prepared for her arrival and provided excellent care. All staff members demonstrated exceptional courtesy and respect, creating a welcoming and familiar environment. My mother is highly satisfied with her care and progress. In retrospect, we regret not heeding the center's professional assessment during her...

When I first walked into Live Oak Rehabilitation Center, I wasn’t impressed. The building was older, a bit worn down, and the hallways were lined with patients in wheelchairs—it didn’t leave a great first impression. Still, we chose to place my mother there because it was close by, and the staff came across as very professional.

My mother had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed on the left side of her body. What we quickly learned is that appearances can be deceiving—Live Oak is living proof that you can’t judge a book by its cover. In situations like this, the only thing that truly matters is the quality of care, and that’s where Live Oak shines.

The staff is incredible and remarkably responsive. Any concerns or needs we had were addressed quickly and thoroughly, which made a huge difference in my mother’s recovery and in our peace of mind. Chris, the manager; Sonia, the director; Gigi, the social worker; Alex, the business director; Armando, the charge nurse; Alan, the physical therapy director; Andrew and Martin from physical therapy; and Molly from admissions—all of them worked tirelessly to help rehabilitate my mother. I am deeply grateful to each of them.

I recently had to place my dad in a rehab facility do to being hospitilized from a fall and head injury. I'm so thankful I found Live Oak. I can't say enough good things about their staff. Alex was amazing and always very communicative, day or night. Molly was great getting us situated and walking us through and what to expect. Gigi was awesome answering my 101 questions and always will to go above and beyond her normal responsibilities. All in all every person we encountered came across as caring and sincere, which to me is more important than fancy equipment and fresh coat of paint on the building walls. At the end of the day, everyone their got the job done in getting my dad healthy enough to go home. Thank you to all...
