The sole purpose of her bequest was to create a home for women who were without support from their families and who could no longer care for themselves. In the years that followed, the home accepted men as well as women, and its grounds have been continually expanded to provide the services and caring environment originally envisioned by Clara Baldwin Stocker.
Clara Baldwin Stocker was the daughter of ‘Lucky Baldwin’, a famous land developer who owned much of the San Gabriel Valley in the 1920’s. The Clara Baldwin Stocker Home in West Covina was built by Lucky’s great grandson in 1963 using money set aside in Clara Stocker’s will, as part of her generous legacy.
I went to visit a dear friend today. It seems that they are understaffED or should I say overstAFFED with UNPROFESSIONAL staff, Except for the reception employee. Bed sheets are dirty, patients are ignored, rooms are overbooked. Sores are not cleaned. Patients are not being changed from their dirty diapers. There is No Compassion, no care, no love shown in their treatment. Patients look scared and worried. One patient approached me to ask me to change her diaper, when I explained I don’t work there, she kept insisting. I told a nurse but she just nodded her head ok and left. I wish there is a supervisor who can go and see.
Do not send your loved ones here. I am absolutely shocked how a place like this can still be in operation. I had patients begging me to feed them because they haven’t had food in days.
If I could leave a lower number, I would. The facility itself is okay, pretty dated with the only thing that made it stand out, it’s beauty parlor, being closed and repurposed as the break room for the staff. The nurses here are pretty incompetent except for a small hand full, and I mean enough to count on half a hand. The food here is something else, I wouldn’t feed it to my worst enemy. It’s either cold and dry or their portions are table spoon big. Barely enough for a sample bite. Also, if you have an appointment, you better quadruple check if they have your paperwork. We spent a half hour past our pick-up time waiting for anybody to have our packet for the driver. In my opinion, send your loved ones here if you hate them
