Monterey Park Rehabilitation & Health Care Center

A resident who needs daily nursing care and regular therapy after an illness or surgery is the kind of person Monterey Park Rehabilitation & Health Care Center, at 300 S. Garfield Ave, is built to serve. Tutera Senior Living & Health Care operates the community, which serves families across the surrounding area of southern California who are weighing their options very carefully.

Staff keep 24-hour access to trained, caring associates on site, and on-site therapy services covering physical, occupational, and speech therapy help residents recover strength and skills after a hospital stay. Supervision of daily activities and self-administered medications is part of daily nursing care on the floor for every resident admitted to the building for a stay.

Restaurant-style dining, with 3 meals a day plus snacks, linen and housekeeping services, an emergency response system, and scheduled transportation for appointments and outings round out life on site, and the building is wheelchair accessible throughout, including common areas and resident rooms used during a stay of any length, whether short term or longer term care.

This is a skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation center, not an assisted living or memory care community. Families comparing it with other skilled nursing in Monterey Park should ask how therapy goals are set and reviewed during a stay and who is involved in that ongoing conversation about a resident's daily progress and overall recovery timeline.
