20 Best Cna Programs In Long Beach, CA (2022 Updated)

The general unprofessionalism from the administration and the staff left me nothing but frustration and a refund. I was enrolled in a Veterinary Assistant program just to have my instructor “disappear” after the first day with no follow up or any information on her well being. The most information I received was hearing the course was cancelled after asking the faculty NUMEROUS times over the course of three weeks. Never once did they think to communicate to the STUDENTS who willingly signed up and PAID for the program.Kalina Camargo

Hands down The best place to go to if you wanna learn cullinary hotel restaurant experience. Mr shepherd is super friendly laid back chill down to earth and goes the extra mile for you. I learned so much about culinary in the 6th month program. Best cullinary class ever !!!!!!!!!!Carter Belfort

Grateful for this school I went here during my junior and senior year in high school for free and best choice ever. Got a job after high school in what I love doing. Great teachers affordable education best trade school ever love it ❤️🙏Carina Rodriguez

yesterday 7/27/2020 I officially graduated from Concorde college (MA PROGRAM) and all I can say is if you’re looking for a school to help you learn about the medical field Concorde is it. They have great teachers willing to help you as much as possible. They have a great computer lab, always open to help! The school is very well kept and cleaned! Staff also does little events here and there just to show appreciation to the students which I loved. The staff here are AMAZING! 2 staff I would really like to shout out are ARIANA HERTZ & MONICA CARLOS! Both of these woman helped me so much and went out their way to make sure i was doing great at Concorde. Security GEORGE was also such a great staff, he always would help as much as he can. But overall all staff is great, super helpful and super friendly. I felt so welcomed at Concorde as soon as I got there! So glad I came to this school because not only did I get an education but I made some wonderful friends here too. I LOVE CONCORDE💙! And highly recommend it to anyone looking for a school to be in the medical field.Isabel Rosas

This review is overdue. But I wanted to wait until I had been working in my field a couple of years to review. I graduated in 2019 with my LVN, and I was able to obtain my license in January 2020. I was well prepared. Passed my nclex on the first try. But I studied and I followed the direction the instructors and staff recommended to get there. Sometimes it felt like they were dragging us through the ringer, when it came to assignments, tests, clinical etc. But it was well worth it. I started my job confident in all of the basic LVN skills. Vital signs, GT, wound care, interpersonal relationships etc. This school taught me so much about myself. If you are considering a career change; or a jump start to your career. I highly recommend. But don’t go here thinking it will be easy. You WILL have to put in the work. Also another tip, communication is key. If you don’t let the school know what’s going on, they won’t be able to help you.Chynna Hooper

Garden Grove Concorde is what you expect out of a school. I love this campus. I enrolled here in 2006 for the Respiratory Therapist program and graduated in 2008. During the program, they provided all the resources i needed to get through all my courses such as tutoring, 1 on 1 help, and most importantly the most friendliest, attentive staff from the front the front desk all the way to the top. i would like to mention someone who has help through my toughest times, Lynda Carlos. When i was having trouble with my application process she would go out of her way to help me. She was like this with every student and every one of my class mates love her. If anyone is out there looking for a school that actually cares about your future and education, I recommend this school.Ken Torres

I started this one month program and I am very satisfied. Mrs.D was my instructor and she was the kindest; most helpful person. The course was very informative and I learned so much through the theory and hands on skills. Ak was very helpful and he made sure we got all our paper work done. I would definitely recommend Procarrer Academy to anyone who is interested in any CNA program.Cynthia Cee

The director AK was amazing, very thorough and present with all the students. My instructor Ms. Deborah was outstanding. I enjoyed her class very much as well as my classmates. Ms. Deborah taught us valuable information to prepare us for the State Exam and real life scenarios. Thank you so much Procareer Academy.Linda Reyes

This school is excellent in making sure students are will prepared for the state CNA exam. Staff members are readily available for any concerns students may have even after completion of the course. Materials needed are provided. Courses finishes at a fast enough pace where employment is availed shortly after.Ashleigh Love

To say my time at Allegiance Career Institute was beyond what I expected is an understatement. On your first day, the instructors will preface that they will over prepare you to take the state exam. As a naive new student in the course, I did not know what to expect. Mrs. Haydee has a unique, but effective teaching style that will not only prepare you, but instill the knowledge and wisdom you will learn in the class, to be applied into your daily practice as a nursing assistant and so on. Thanks to this institute, I was able to secure a job at a prestigious magnet hospital! I give my wholehearted appreciation to Mrs. Haydee, Ms. Ella, Mrs. Carmelita, and Mr. Jameson for all that they do because they truly ensure that you will be ready and a prime candidate in the workforce.Lisa Chu

Allegiance Career Institute has been such an amazing experience, not only was I able to really absorb all the education I received but make great connections with my fellow classmates. Working in the medical field and as a nurse requires teamwork, common sense and dedication to those in our care. All of which were principals we were taught and for that I’ll be forever grateful. If your looking to begin your nursing journey I highly recommend coming to ACI to get your CNA, RNA & HHA. Thank you so much for everything, to all ACI staff.Nancy Torres

21 Days and I’m done! Some good advice for incoming students: Remember that it’s only 21 days worth of academics and it’s very possible for even someone like me to finish! Try and improve everyday, I know I did. I have worked at a terminal hospital in the past as an EVS and I believe that this institute truly sets the tone for the preciseness you will meet in the real world. Please attend & review everyday and you’ll be much less stressed and much more knowledgeable! I wish you all the best in finding your calling! – BM ☺️Grisel Griselda

Pathway College is a great school anyone considering getting they CNA training done go to Pathway seriously! U will be ready to take your state exam because Miss B and Miss Cheri is the best instructors out there! I'm so grateful for them and I appreciate their patience and kindness.Barbie Barrow

I am very satisfied with the course that I took at Pathway College. The instructor was very knowledgeable and just a great teacher. She genuinely wants to see all of her students succeed. If you take this course at Pathway College you will be well prepared for the state exam.Velina Stewart

The instructor is an amazing person! She is very good at her job and I can tell she is one the greatest instructors out there. I also say that anyone committed and motivated can achieved so much. I took my CNA training here and I loved it.Raymine Ramon

I am a 26 year old disabled navy veteran, who recently moved to Los Angeles after becoming homeless in February. I went in today around 4:30 with my service dog, who assists me with military related disability, to try to find some information about employment opportunities, so that I can get back on my feet As I was about to sign in on the sheet at the front I was approached by a woman named Eunice, who asked if my dog was a service animal. I replied that she was indeed my service animal. She then requested my disability paperwork, claiming they "can't have everyone with dogs coming in", and told me that I could not have her in the building, which under the Americans with Disabilities Act title II and III, is illegal and discriminatory. I informed her that doing that is illegal and she is only allowed to ask if the animal is a service animal and what it assists with. She then told me they were closed and she couldn't give me any information, but proceeded to ask "anything else I can help you with?" in a rude way. I got her name and she said she is the only Eunice in the office and that she is an office technician. I served my country honorably, am sober, clean, friendly, and all I wanted was some information about a job, but I was treated like I was less than dirt and my working animal was a burden on her. I will be contacting the VA as well as Los Angeles county officials to investigate this incident and take the proper legal and disciplinary actions.Nick

Amazing school that I'm surprised more people aren't taking advantage of. Went through Networking 1&2 and obtained my CCNA through this program and the help of Mr. Le. I also took a couple other classes and interacted with several other teachers, all of which were great. I now work locally as an IT Administrator and so grateful I went through this program. I also have two friends that went through the HVAC program and have very well-paying jobs. So many people are going into debt and coming out of universities with nothing to show for it. Harbor OCC has programs that will get you certified and employed much faster. Great school and great staff. I'll always be thankful for everything they've done for me.Cameron Voss

Harbor Occupational Center has one of the best and safest campuses that I have been to. The teachers are very knowledgeable and are always very helpful. Coming back to school in my fifties was a challenge especially being legally blind. They have the perfect program for the visually impaired with specialized attention in the resource room with Eliza and Lisa. I would recommend this school to anyone you're never too old to learn and no matter what your disability is.Kenny Lee

Ms. Vanessa, Santa Fe Springs Instructor, fosters and exemplifies a professional environment that promotes the learning and mastering of CNA course material and skills. Ms. Vanessa takes pride in preparing her students for not only the CNA state exam, but also in their respective jobs as CNA’s. She prioritizes the six principles of care: Dignity, Infection Control, Safety, Communication, Independence, and Privacy not only in her teaching, but in the field as well. She teaches in a hands-on manner and supports students every step of the way in lecture, lab, and clinicals. Her passion shines through her work in her patience, compassion, and responsiveness to students. Ms. Vanessa is truly an exceptional instructor and leader and will be your biggest advocate as you navigate through earning your CNA certification. I highly recommend Ms. Vanessa’s course at Los Angeles Skills Academy, it is a valuable opportunity you will not want to miss out on as an aspiring CNA.Brooke Stein

Ms. Vanessa Huerta is a god sent. To say that she is an amazing instructor is truly an understatement. Ms. Vanessa is extraordinarily patient with all her students and makes sure her students master everything in the course before letting them walk out. Not only that, but she's very empathetic with her students and is able to connect with them on a personal level in order to help them learn the materials in the course along with their future career goals towards healthcare. Ms. Vanessa is very passionate in teaching the CNA course, life skills, and whatnot. She is a very good-hearted person who never showed a lack of enthusiasm when showing up and teaching us from 7am-3:30pm. She even goes out of her way to buy her class snacks. That's rare. Ms. Vanessa isn't just an instructor, she's a mentor. Nonetheless, I 1000% highly recommend Ms. Vanessa Huerta!!Anthony Lau

This program was very well structured! Theory and lab were very detail-oriented, which really helped with clinicals. My instructor was Ms.Vanessa. She is such a great person and amazing mentor! It was inspiring being able to witness her passion for this field through her teachings. She made sure that all of her students mastered the skill sets covered and she provided any clarification that was necessary when covering new material- always being very patient and creating connections to the material. She definitely prepared me for my exam, to which I am very grateful for. Thank you! 10/10~recommended!Melissa Ramos

The enrollment processes with Anahi was the easiest and most satisfying part of the journey, she makes you feel confident that everything is being taken care of. The payment process with Elizabeth was a extremely headache free experience, Elizabeth is not only there to collect payments but she tries to connect with the students by asking simple questions about how their experience is going so far and how things are going at home. Now Mrs. Mara is by far the best instructor I’ve ever met in this facility. She teaches with clear and understandable lessons that makes it basically impossible for you to struggle with the class. A true definition of “you get what you pay for” 🙂ed perez

Choosing St. Jude School of Nursing is one of the best decisions I have made to jump into the nursing field. The moment you walk into the office you are welcomed my Elizabeth & Mariela. They explain everything and I never felt any pressure to join the school. My instructor was Ms. Mara and she was freaking amazing. The way she taught the class it was so easy to learn. My classmates were amazing. We all meshed together so well.Akilah Lucas

Rafael really focuses on the importance of bedside nursing care, the good side. If you want to have a solid start or dabble in nursing/medical field, I recommend St. Jude Nursing School with Rafi! Best mentor, teacher. Elizabeth is literally my life coach, helped me spiritually, emotionally, and I appreciated that so much. Anahi really gave me the drive to finish, and I'm glad I made the decision to start my journey here. 🙂Rommel Lejarde

I was in the hospital fir 2 weeks. I had neuropathy in my feet couldn’t walk and back problems. I was told that it was the only place that would take me ( COVID-19). I didn’t realize it was a Skilled Nursing Facility. The CNR’s that are “assigned” to you and 6 others are so slow if you put you’re light on if you need to be changed ( I sat in my own bowel movement for an hour) or need water ( I was without water for about 1 hour) or whatever you my need. I was put there believing it was a rehab place (I was given a short rehab in my room in a wheelchair for about 15 minutes a day ( unless they decided to miss a day). After begging to leave after 6 weeks I was well enough and could use a walker and the bathroom by myself. Little did I realize it was a Skilled Nursing Facility where Covid 19 had run rappant through other facilities Luckily one worker came to work with the the facility with the virus. They did take testing every week after that happened. I had 2 different CNR’s banished from my room after horrible treatment. My 2 roommates never got out of their beds. One wouldn’t eat and the other had to helped to eat. if the CNR’s didn’t want to sit there and feed the patient so she just feed her until she took away half the food because she didn’t have “time” to continue feeding her. At times I could see the CNR’s sitting in chairs in the hallway. I heard people screaming for help for it seemed hours in end but probably only 1/2 hour or so. But every day I had to listen to this. So I decided to not put my light on until I had soiled my diaper 3 times. I didn’ t want to disturb the CNR’s unless she was already in my room. Did I say they changed my meds. And every day seemed like I got them at a different time. Once they woke me at 4am to take my meds, so inexcusable. Only one nice nurse. I read the papers they gave me about the facility 3 times. I guess no one reads it. They violated it in a few points. For me they wouldn’t give me over the counter meds unless the doctor approved it, I showed them in the papers that we can any OTC meds we needed. I don’t know why everyone gave the place 5 stars. It was the most horrible experiences in my life. I spent my 64th birthday there crying until about 10 of the staff came in with a ballon a birthday cake they made out of donuts and whipped cream and sang happy birthday to me. I cried again but happy tears. They were nice to me after that. I finally left on July 21 and was so glad to leave. But as you see it’s September 7th I’m writing this. At least Medicare will pay for this. I guess they give better treatment to the people who are there permanently and I was much younger than the permanent residences. I’m home I gave PTs and OC’s that come to my house and I can walk in my house but not good enough To walk outside or drive. Stay away from that place if you’re going to be there temporarily. I had no choice the hospital sent me there. Just go somewhere else please.marisa rocco

Be very careful about sending a loved one to this facility. My daughter and I selected this place after she took a tour while I was in the hospital. My stay would have been a couple of months until I was allowed to weight-bear on my shattered femur. What happened to my two female roommates caused me to have my daughter call the paramedics to get me out of there the same evening I was admitted. I was helpless and couldn’t get out of bed or walk, so I was petrified gor my safety. Don’t put anyone in this place!Pamela Burns

I recently had a family member stay with you guys and I was blown away by the love and kindness the staff and administration displayed on a daily basis. No matter what was going on, the nurses always were in the best mood and were so nice to my family and I. During these COVID times, the facility handled it perfectly, keeping COVID out, while also being reasonable with visitation policies. Thank you so much for all that you did, I will always be grateful. Can’t recommend this facility enough.Sean Johnson

Reclaiming my time!!! I am just beyond appalled with the "help" I did not receive. After submitting an application via the website it took about 2 weeks for a member to reach out to me. When they did reach out to me all they told me about was that the class started in which I was trying to take which was security guard that it started yesterday on Monday March 7th. Being that I completed an application way before the start time of the class you would think someone would reach out to me and tell me about the funding that they have available. Not the case. I was told to call a number and figure it out myself as far as funding goes for the security class. Long story short if your looking for a security class to take and your paying for it then go online it's far cheaper! Very disappointed.sadiq bolden

This school helped me achieve my goals regarding my education. I’m grateful for all my teachers who believed that was capable to complete each course I took. I recommend this school to those who wants to have more skills for a better job and for those who wants to pursue a career. Child Development Class had helped me expand my vocabulary as an ESL student and also helped me be more confident about my skills to pursue a career in Child Development field. Thanks to Mrs. Johnson and Ms.Velazquez I got my permit as Teacher Assistant but I will get more training to became a great teacher. Thank you Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center for this amazing opportunities you have given me to have a better future.Kimberly Jacobo

I was attended for 6 Months until Mr. T automotive technician class stopped due to him retiring . & unfortunately he didnt input my attendance so basically only got certified for Technology 1 & Suspension and Steering . For being there for six months I was told I was suppose to receive more certifications than two . So I called the office and they informed me if I wanted to get those certifications that I didn’t get that I would have to retake the class and to make matters worse till this day they still haven’t found a replacement for the automotive tech class! So I basically just wasted my time . So unprofessional so unorganized . What a waste of timeBryant Mena

Highly recommend LASA!!! I was skeptical when searching for CNA programs but LASA proved me wrong. The enrollment and orientation process is easy and self explanatory. LASA is thorough and there are people to assist you every step of the way. I was assigned instructor Ms. Kristine. I am so happy to have her as she is knowledgeable, thorough, and relatable. From theory to lab/clinicals the experience has been top notch. Looking back at my progress and development in the field I feel confident that I will be successful in this field. Thanks to Ms. Kristine, this learning process has been nothing short of amazing!!! Thank you Ms. Kristine for your patience and guidance throughout this entire process.Airiona Sampson

Ms. Kristine was my instructor for clinicals and she was a highlight throughout my experience with LASA. She made every situation a learning experience and helped connect real life situations to lessons we’ve learned in the lab which ultimately helped with regionals. Ms. Kristine was very knowledgeable and attentive, constantly checking in if we needed anything + breaking down skills into simple steps. I also very much enjoyed using Kahoot to practice test questions! 10/10 recommend LASA.Iana Cayme

recently attended LASA from June-July and had Ms. Kristine and Ms. Angela as my instructors. Ms. Kristine helped us in clinicals and prepared us for regionals further in depth. She was always there in case we ever needed anything at clinicals and always made sure we were at our best mental & physical state at the start of the day. 10/10 instructors & 10/10 recommend for your CNA trainingLourdes Cardenas

0 stars. Would not recommend. They are very unprofessional! Do not waste your time and money. Please go somewhere else. I finished my online course in May and waited 3 months just to start clinicals only for it to still be miscommunication with the company the very first day of clinicals and was unable to start that day. I requested a refund and Bijay Baniya felt it was appropriate to try and belittle the school that I chose to go to once I dropped Sisucare. Stay far away.Troynall Pelts

One of my friends has done CNA from SisuCare and She is extremely satisfied with the course and her learning. She gets a working option in a facility right after finishing the course and starts earning. SisuCare is surely one of the best CNA Training School in California. Recommends for sure!Naushad Akhtar

I went to SisuCare for CNA training and I had a great experience. The teachers were excellent, very knowledgeable, and left me feeling fully prepared to pass the the test to receive my certification.Fatimah Furqan

I am really not the type to write reviews, but I truly want to inform people of this center. Here are some logistics: the tuition costs $1700 and registration costs $10 for a four weeks course. I actually did not attend this program due to multiple issues I had with just signing up. I called numerous times to find out about the designated date of the next cycle of the program and what the schedule would be like so I could plan accordingly with work and school. As the start date got closer, I had issues communicating with the staff just to set an appointment to take my entrance exam. The staff failed to call me back after the mentioned time, just to make an appointment for a 30 minutes to an hour exam (which was relatively easy, but had some material that I did not understand why it was incorporated in the material). After completing my exam and deposit, I was then informed that the scheduled date of the program was postponed. It ended up being postponed for two months due to an emergency regarding the instructor. I understand that emergencies happen, but based on other reviews it seems like the instructor does not care about being late, so it seems like the instructor may just not care. Despite all of this, one of the staff members, Danielle or Dannia, was really polite and intended on helping me find other programs because the new cycle would not work out with my schedule. I really appreciated this, but she did not hold her promise in calling me back. All in all, I cannot tell you concrete review of how the CNA program is here because I did not complete it, but these issues made me question if I wanted to pay for an educational experience that did not seem to thrive in communication, organization, and punctuality. I would have given this place an one star review, but Danielle was helpful.Marsha Lee

Changed schedule to many times due to teacher having baby. But like the teacher said a lot: "that's just the way it is". She also showed up late to the Facility. But bring her a frappuccino you'll be ok lol. Students left early, call out and still participated in class. I passed all test and was there on time Mon-Thurs. I missed two days at the Facility and got dropped towards the end. Make sure you get your supplies if you paid full amount. You dont ask they wont give it to you to save money.. Only training i liked was from the BLS class other then that the MAB class is a joke. I use my CPI technique as a last resort with my clients and I take training seriously. for 2g you can take the class in college for free and get better training.Ms. J

I do not recommend this school because the teacher in MAB course is very rude. When I requested him to speak slowly and clearly during the class lecture he tald me that I am free to go out of the classroom because that the way he talk I found out later that his family owns the school I step out of the class and never go back very rude no respect I dropped all the classesJoumna Fernandez

I attended the Ontario Campus, my instructor being Maria, overall a great experience that I’d recommend to anyone with interest of beginning a medical field related career. Prestige Career College is sure to provide you with the knowledge and preparations needed in order to take that first step, all information being presented to you in a very clear manner, as well as all misunderstood concepts reinterpreted with constructive criticism and positive reinforcement. The entire staff is great, especially Ingrid Mejia , the admissions representative, will be sure to assist you with any concerns you may have , going out of her way in order to provide one with everything and more that will be required for a smooth and comfortable admission process along with the time you will be spending on campus. Communication is always quick and responsive.Misael Hernandez

The staff and team members here are super helpful when it comes to their students. Everyone here has helped me throughout the whole journey from beginning to end with filling out paper work and making sure that I’m on the right track to success. When there’s a problem with anything the members here call and make sure everything is well taken care of. Also, all staff and members here are very respectful and nice. I would highly recommend this school to anyone out there looking to progress their future. Shoutout to Art,Tanya, and Rose they’re all amazing , nice , and well orientated helpers.December Funches

I completed the CNA course at the Ontario location, my instructor Mrs. Valenzuela was GREAT. Mrs. Valenzuela provided us with everything we needed and went into depth with every question, she’s a real sweetheart. I would recommend anyone who is looking into becoming a CNA to participate in this course, especially when you are provided with everything. Mrs. Ingrid will help you get started with the process of enrolling, answer every question and is the sweetest! I will definitely be visiting these 2 ladies. Thank you for all the support and advice!Maria Molina

As a person already in the medical field, RCI was exactly the setting and accommodations I was seeking. My Journey began October 2021 in Carson, I was interested in the Phlebotomy evening course (it was the one that was suitable for my busy schedule.) The staff was extremely available and easy going always willing to help. Even with my awkward schedule the staff worked around me and communicated through text, email, and phone calls . Louie, our instructor was knowledgeable and equipped with experience. It was truly an honor to have Louie share is wisdom with myself and my peers. Thank you Louie absolutely unforgettable. I must express how fast I was able to obtain an Externship start date. Assuming Covid would slow the process, I expected the Externship date to start much later and to my surprise not only was it sooner, I had options. Overall I’m very pleased with my experience at RCI and would advise whom ever to not hesitate in beginning an incredible journey to start or advance your medical career. Thank you RCI officially I am a Phlebotomist!!Selene Castillo

If you are looking for a school to do short classes like Phlebotomy, I recommend this school. They are caring and helpful. They do their best to guide you to be successful and they answer all of your questions. My advice is when you do take a class here to always do advance reading and take notes in class. Always listen to your instructor because they will give you more information than you ever will know. Shout out to Regan, Sidney, Chris, and Loui! They are all wonderful and will help you to be successful!! (: Can’t wait to take another class here next year!Reybelle Tan

I started Regan Career Institute in CARSON and it has been the best decision I’ve made. The staff was always amazing so attentive and willing to help with everything. Calls and emails are always answered. Louie are instructor was simply amazing he always had us engaged. Lectures were fun and very informative. He made sure to answer any questions. After completion they help you with your externship and even with your resume! I recommend RCI in Carson the location was amazing I highly recommend if you want a fast short career in the medical field.Esperanza Mendoza

Going to this school would best benefit those who are working. The instructor/s and school administrator are considerate and helpful enough prior our state board. Shoutout to the lady who helped us during our final review. They are more cheaper also compared to other schools. If I am not mistaken our batch all passed the practical exam and only one needs to do a written exam for the state board. Overall, studying here is very okay! I can't complain🙂…Shiella Mae Bel

I got my CNA certification in 2018 and I passed my state board exam on the first try. Thanks to my awesome teacher and the great staff which I I wanna thank for all the support and helping me achieve my goals on being a nurse, a special thanks to the director George who's always helpful and willing to work with you and making my experience at Genova health institute a great and positive one!Breonna Boyer

was exiting the time in the Institute, you just need to know why you there, do the best every day , and you will go the certification. The classes are specific, and with the review after exams and practices before state exams you have extra time to improve your knowledge. Great for me.Marcia Quiusky

I graduated from here in 2018 and have been meaning to write a review. Honestly this was my only choice that worked with my schedule at the time, but it was a complete WASTE OF MONEY! We never learned anything valuable, only touched the “lab” once. & the only thing I learned from our teacher was how to make a bed and how to put on a stocking! Clinicals were a nightmare, just followed around another CNA from a terrible facility that didn’t even want to teach us. And when it came time to our exam I literally stayed up all night learning from YOUTUBE! Don’t be like me and go spend your money somewhere else!Cristina D

My experience and having the opportunity to attend CNA school was so awesome. The instructor that taught us what we need to know to pass our CNA test was so helpful to all his students. We learned so much in class and during our clinicals. I want to thank Nursing Development for being so kind and professional threw out the experience with the school. I'm happy to say that I was able to find a job more then 3 days after my course with finalized. ❤🙏Stephanie Rivera

I had a great experience with my CNA class. Teacher was understanding, treats you like one of her children, and excellent at what she does. It was just like playing house and the students and teacher are family. I highly recommend it.Diane Diolata

My two daughters and I selected Bixby Towers for my senior living facility for several reasons, among them the location, the monthly rental plan, six different floor plans for units; 21 meals a week, housekeeping and transportation services and the activities and entertainment offered. I have lived at Bixby for 14 months and have been very satisfied with the experience. Bixby was built in 1962 and has issues that come with a facility of that age. The maintenance staff responds to incidents quickly and efficiently. There are management employees on the premises seven days a week and staff employees are well trained and helpful. Replacement of the elevators has caused inconveniences to residents and staff alike, but management has made every effort to alleviate the waits. Everyone will be very glad when there are two functioning new elevators. Overall my three children and I are pleased that I chose Bixby and with my experiences here.Anne Megli

Bixby Knolls does a solid job of providing housing, meals, daily activities, and safety to residence. They work hard to select good employees who constantly care for the residents. The administration goes the extra mile to address concerns. Anyone who lives in an aging building must adjust expectations on the reality of a building. If someone wants all the bells and whistles of a new building, they can call around. However, you will not like the price and may not like the staff. We have a dear loved one in the building who has been a resident for many years. She has received care beyond our expectations. We will continue to be grateful to Jeannie and her wonderful staff.susan burden

Our parents have lived in the Tower for 4 years, recently moving to the "B" building for assisted living. We have found the staff to be kind, caring and with little turnover – which is something very important to consider. The views from the upper floors of the Tower are amazing- unlike anything in most of L.A. , food is quite good- we even had our family Christmas dinner in the dining room- which was delicious and enjoyable. The tower is in the midst of renovations and it will be quite nice when complete. Location is excellent, you can walk around gardens on the premises or in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood.pacificview1

I highly recommend our facility as a staff and as someone that has 2 love ones that has experienced care in our facility. My 2 family members both went home happy with the care they received from the nursing staffs who work hard to give the best they can for our residents. We are under new leadership of new ED who’s friendly and sets a goal to better the facility and New nursing Director who has a lot of experience and very thorough and work tightly with our DSD to give more in services and promote good customer service. We also have all these years the most competitive and compassionate Rehab Therapists that has helped a lot of our patients to get better and go back to their prior living.maria fatima inciong

Working alongside competent department managers and direct care nursing staff that ensure quality care for all residents has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life. Our team has a shared goal to make our little building feel like a home away from home for patients that need both recuperative care and long term care. I’m proud to be a part of this family and I’m excited to see what’s in store for all of us.Almira florentino Resurreccion

I'm glad I wasn't swayed by the bad reviews posted here years ago. Royal Care takes good care of their patients. I know because they took great care of my mom during her stay. The new DON was vert professional and handles her staff very well. All the lil mishaps were taken care of right away and they go far to please the residents and the families. I'm forever in awe. Thank you Royal. 🙏🏻Camilla Hemller

This place is very deceiving. The director Luis is a big fat liar!!!!!! He told me that every time that my mother had to go back to the hospital, her copayment days start over giving her 20 new days to be there before she had to pay anything. My mother is on a limited income and does not need any added expenses. Well the last time she was there, they told me that she was at $500.00. She had only been back there for a week. While she was there to rehabilitate, she developed major bed sores, she was roughly handled by the staff, came home with a bruised body, told to shut up and let them do their job, and all of her clothes were stolen as well as part of her personal wheelchair. My mom depends on oxygen and often times we'd go there and she's struggling for air with the nurses call button in her hand. We'd have to physically go get a nurse for help!!! Mom would say that she's been pushing the button for a long time and no one would come. One night my mom called me at home, and I had to call the facility to go to her room and help her. None of the air conditioners worked and the place was always stagnant and hot which made it hard for my mother to breath. On one occasion, they called me and said they had to call 911 for my mother because her blood sugar went very low. The next day my mom tells me that one nurse came in and gave her insulin, ten minutes later another came and gave her another dose. My mother tried to stop her, but the nurse told her to be quiet, that she had to give it to her. We requested that no man was to clean her, that she was uncomfortable and only wanted females. One rough handed nurse came and cleaned her and made her cry. She told a female nurse and she said he would not touch her again. When a women came to clean her, he yelled at her he would do it. She told him that mom didn't want him, so he yells at her and says " I said I'll do it", of course roughly handling her once again. If you care for your loved ones , don't send them there.!!!!!!!!! I only gave 1 star because you can't write a review unless you do so!!!!!Donna Cherry`

My 89 year mother broke her leg on her birthday September 18 2018. After her two week stay at Long Beach hospital she was transferred across the street for her rehabilitation. Seven months later she is happy and doing well thanks to the angels on staff at Atlantic Memorial. My mother, unfortunately, has not been able to return home yet, but is loved and cared for by the hardest working group of a very dedicated staff. My sister, brother and myself visit often and unannounced and each time we go there we find my mother clean, fed and her linens fresh and clean. They are alert and attentive to not only mother's needs, but to our requests! We also notice how they move quickly and are urgent to care for the other patients. My mother has greater needs because she is also a dementia patient. They are so sweet and caring to her. Sometimes they have to watch her so intently that when we show up unexpectedly mom is sitting behind the desk "working". 😍 She loves to color in her coloring books that they provide. She feels productive! God bless the entire staff of Atlantic Memorial!!! I could go on and on about my gratitude of gifted people who must be born with such giving, loving and caring souls!!! Thank you all!!!Vivian Wilson

I had major back surgery on June 7th, 2016 at Long Beach Memorial Hospital. When I was going to go to rehab, the only available bed for me was at Atlantic Memorial Healthcare. Some of the nurses and other employees at Long Beach Memorial were telling me that Atlantic was not a very good place to go, just by hear say, not by experience. I was hesitant but I thought I would give them a try. All know is from the moment I got there I was impressed. It was very clean, then staff was very attentive and genuinely seem to care about my comfort there. I was only there for 3 nights, but never had a problem. The therapy there was very good also with very caring employees. I has to go back to the hospital for 5 more days due to complications , but I highly recommend this facility. Please don't go by everything you hear. I was actually a patient there. Catherine KnoxCathy Sheraga
