Driftwood Healthcare Center-Torrance

Terrible terrible place! I wouldn’t entrust ANYONE here at this facility! The doctor is arrogant and full of herself! Nurses are not professional at all! There is an RN parading as a doctor!

If your not paying cash but own a house, you are in danger. If suddenly your loved one develops renal failure, check for digoxin overdose as the cause. Check emergency room records and daily care records. Research all medications. They know how to work the system to get paid by the state. Don't trust on line attorneys offering pro bono. They get paid by the medical community to inform them when someone is seeking counsel. I have proof.

My mother was there for 23 days. In that time she developed pneumonia because of their lack of communication by their staff. She was left sitting on the edge of her bed for 3 hrs waiting to be changed after sitting in a soaked sweaty gown. A week later she was almost given someone else's medication. Thank God my mom was with it because they were going to give her blood pressure medication which she doesn't take and Levaquin which she is highly allergic to. Mind you the nurse never came back after my mom informed her of those two medications. Fast forward to a few days later when we were to be having

Even though the staff was pretty noisy especially at night when I was trying to get some sleep, they treated me nicely for the 4 days that I was there. The food was fair, but the lunches were good. A physical therapist visited me, and a doctor who was on call also came to visit with me and gave me a good amount of her time. They gave me medication and handled my discharge paperwork well. I was there for a severe back pain issue. Based on my overall experience, I am giving it 4 stars.

My father was released to this place on a Monday evening from Torrance Memorial with the goal of rehab and recovery. He was dead nine days later. They are "investigating."

My Mom stays here. The Staff is very nice and loving to my mom and I find them courteous towards me. She likes the food as well and is a long term patient.

If your on Medi-Cal, watch for increase in ER visits. Digoxin used to create Renal Failure. They don’t tell you the truth. Study medical records. I can prove allegations of extreme torture. The state protects the staff and they know all the tricks. Dr. G makes money for Little Company of Mary Hospital. You have no rights as a family member under Medi-Cal or Estate Recovery. ( no relation to ER, Emergency Room)
Lawyers won’t help. I swear under penalty of purjury my statement is factual not fake. Five years worth of torture.

Find somewhere else if you can. This place is so unorganized and their billing system is terrible. They have no clue as to who they are suppose to bill whether if it's through Medicare or through your private insurance. My mother was admitted to this facility and they had absolutely no idea whether they were suppose to bill Medicare or to Blue Shield. In fact, we had to show them who they were suppose to bill and how to bill to Blue Shield. You would think if you're in the medical and healthcare business you know how to bill through the correct insurance provider.

We where definitely apprehensive before putting our dad in a nursing home. We where referred to driftwood healthcare by a friend who lives nearby. WELL THANK GOODNESS she did. while it was difficult to bring him there. the staff led by the director of nursing Kathleen made the transition really comfortable and most important they have followed through. Its never easy but I must say We really secure about the care he is getting and the facility is really well kept. They are always available and helpful THANK YOU DRIFTWOOD HEALTH AND WELLNESS
