I broke my shoulder in two places and stayed 31 days at WPAC. All of the staff there were amazing. From the administrators to the housekeeping staff, they all treated me like family and met my every need. Everyone was so caring and respectful. I would highly recommend Watsonville Post Acute Center to my friends and family.

I went into the hall and found a retired nurse literally in the hall, ignoring my earlier nurse…

I constantly had to literally beg and in some cases argue with the staff to receive additional portions or alternate meals (that then took a ridiculous amount of time if at all!!!) the "snacks" that they offered were horrid if at all…

The employees were really nice, the facility looked clean and they are taking good care of my uncle. It was really hard to find parking I had to walk for 3 to 4 minutes. Only two people at a time. I love that they ask for your Covid19 proof.
