I am 54, the youngest person in this facility during the 2 weeks I was here. I had knee replacement surgery so I was admitted at my own request for PT OT to get enough strength and range of motion in my knee to be able to go home and safely be independent. The challenge was I have 20 concrete steps just to get up to my apt. Then inside I need to be able to perform activities of daily living safely such as showering, getting on and off the toilet, etc, and not to lose balance and fall. I live alone, which is why I chose to go to a rehab facility after surgery since I have no help at home. Anna, the admitting coordinator, called me at Washington Hospital. I appreciate her kindness and her work to match me with a roommate who is there for rehab only like myself. The majority here are ill with various conditions and not being ill nor near the average age here, I certainly appreciated her efforts. Their van brought me over. They are literally right across the street from Washington Hospital. I was roomed with a very nice considerate woman who was on the mends from fracturing her pelvis and in for rehab only like myself. We got along great. The staff here are all very nice and accommodating. John has a great sense of humor, Flo a CNA is very nice and accommodating. They all root you on as you progress in rehab. I had a great PT, Pooja, and OT, Revati. They knew my goals and provided activities and exercises to help strengthen my muscles in my arms and legs. With that came balance which prevents falls. Since it was a knee replacement surgery and I have these massive stairs at home, I practiced stairs there while carrying full bags of items like I would grocery bags. I also did the exercises provided by the hospital staff on the weekends since the rehab program here is Mon through Fri. Some of the meals wasn't half bad actually. Any facility you go to is not going to have homemade quality or restaurant quality food. They have the menu posted by the activities room and alternative choices if you'd rather have something else instead, but you need to let your CNA know a couple hours before the meal of the change. You can ask for a copy of the menus. Or you can have family or friends bring meals to you. I also brought snacks like tangerines and crackers for in between meals.This facility doesn't have the nursing home smell like most do, and is very clean. They clean everywhere thoroughly daily and provide fresh linens daily. This is a big plus especially for me who wasn't sick and didn't want to get sick. My overall experience here was a great one. The staff are easy to find and listen to you. You need to be your own advocate no matter which facility you go to. Always be kind and respectful to the staff and they're happier to help you. As they say, do to others what you want done to you. Don't expect them to read your mind. They have other patients to tend to as well so you need to kindly ask them if you need something. Don't be demanding. They have a difficult job. I learned to tune out people who are ill here and focus on my recovery and goals, and I surpassed mine with a lot of work and determination on my part as well.. So thank you Park Central for giving me a pleasant experience and supporting me as I progressed very well in my rehab here!

My brother-in-law spent 2 weeks at this facility. The personnel were unfailingly kind and helpful. The intake staff, nurses and CNA's cleaned and shaved my brother-in-law daily, which was a treat for him as he had been on his own for a while and not able to do for himself. There is a cheerful atmosphere and the staff seems to really care about the residents. The facility is clean and the rooms are clean. I would recommend it if you require skilled nursing, short term. And my husband wanted to add that the food looked good too!

This really is a 5-star establishment, I can't think of any staff that don't seem happy. My mom has been here quite awhile. Just very excellent care and staff. Fun activities (before lockdown). I'm grateful to have my mom there.

I am a patient coordinator and a senior advocate and one of my goals is always give quality care to my patients that's why when it comes to skilled nursing and therapy, I always refer my patients in this facility. Rehab and therapy is excellent, nurses and CNAs are very warm and passionate with what they do. They make sure goals are met before discharging their patients and safe to be back at home. Cleanliness is maintained at all times and the overall system is organized.

I have worked well with Park Central in Fremont and love working with their team. I worked in Assisted Living industry and placed our residents at Park Central when discharged from the hospital. I always get great responses from their social worker and nurses and they take care of our residents really well. I will trust to place my parents when needed at Park Central.
