The family has placed my in-laws in Eskaton Lodge Gold River. My mother-in-law is in pre-memory care. They had pre-memory care rather than just assisted living and memory care. It was close to where I and my husband live, but that's like secondary. After they assessed my mother-in-law and her husband, they said that pre-memory care would suit them best for now. I was gone on vacation the entire month, so I'm not sure yet about the staff. My sister-in-law said that there was one staff, in particular, that's very helpful and informative when giving us information on the phone. I visited it before. The room was nice and very small. I think it's like 580 square feet, but it's got a bedroom that's separate from the living area and then a small kitchen, and it suits my in-laws' needs fine. I believe they're going to have most of their meals in their room. Once they're feeling better, they might go to the general dining area, but that'll take some coaxing, and the staff is going to have to work with them. They have a craft room, a therapy room, and a place to get their hair done and things like that. They have sitting areas where they read books or do puzzles. The staff were very informative and helpful and provided us with all the forms that we would need to have the assessments done and things signed by doctors and so forth. I have kind of limited experience yet, but so far, we're fairly happy with them. The only thing we have an issue with is not getting sufficient information when we call in, and that depends on which staff is available to talk to us. The facility itself was nice. There's quite a variety of activities. I think weekly, they go out on the bus, and they can take them to the store or like a general outing for whoever is able and wants to go. They were more comprehensive in their pricing. Some facilities had too many add-ons. With Eskaton Lodge Gold River, some things are already included, so I think it is a pretty good value.

Eskaton Lodge Gold River is probably one of the higher scale places in the Sacramento area. That's where people that have a lot of assets usually go or if they have insurance to cover it. It's a nice facility. I didn't spend a lot of time there. I just wanted to get information and a quick tour. There was nothing negative about it. The chairs and the furniture are probably a bit higher grade than what you get in other places. The level of staff care is very nice. If you walk into the memory care unit, you're going to see the exact same people, and you're going to have a few people that kind of know what's happening in the memory care and can watch a movie. You're going to have the rest of the people kind of looking dazed and some of the people basically just hanging their heads down and just totally out of it. The rooms are really nice and bigger than the room my mom is at right now. They have a couple of different dining areas, and they often separate the memory care people from the others because of issues and behavior problems that they had to solve during meals. It was very nice. The accommodation looks and feels newer, probably because of newer carpet, the furniture was a little bit newer. It was a little bit more upscale. For assisted living people, it would be an enhancement that they would be able to appreciate. But for memory care, not much. It just doesn't matter. There were a couple of different courtyards, but for the memory care, they have one courtyard. It's not as big as the memory care courtyard where my mom is. It was not a bad courtyard. It was just a smaller courtyard. I know they have the same kind of activities that the other memory places have because I read their brochures. But one thing that Eskaton have is they take out memory care people on excursions once a week, if they're ambulatory, and if they can appreciate it. Some of them do. My mother might have gotten a little bit of benefit from that. That is one advantage I'd say that they have that a lot of places don't do.

I toured Eskaton Lodge Gold River. I was inquiring about memory care, but what was great about that facility was that they have transition apartments for someone who might be past assisted living, but they're not quite a complete memory care candidate. They have a separate wing that had extra care but not quite memory care and that was most attractive. Everything was attractive but that was very good to know that they had something that I can have both parents in as they are aging a little bit differently. It was just very wonderful. It was very friendly and upscale, and I just took a wonderful time to listen to what my future might hold, and it was just absolute best. The person who gave us the tour was just so friendly. There's no doubt that Eskaton is the best place to go. The dining area was lovely and warm. It was more elegant than it was cafeteria-style. In their memory care area, they had kind of a couple of small dining rooms. One is for people that are still visiting and communicating, and the other is for those that need more advanced feeding ability. The dining rooms, the tables, and the kitchens were like they were trying to create a home and a wonderful restaurant-style atmosphere. They had activities that ran from 10 to 11 until 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon if the people chose so. There's a variety of activities. In memory care, it's a little different. There are more watched- over activities, but they had lovely activities and variety for the memory care from making pizza to playing bingo to keeping them active in and watched.

Eskaton Lodge Gold River had a lot of different areas for different activities. There was quite a bit of space. There were a couple nice patios with sitting areas. They have a movie room, an activity room, and a TV room. The bedrooms or the apartments were spacious. For respite care, they fully furnished them, but if you want to use it full time, you have to provide your own furniture. I was looking for respite and they said they would provide the furniture, but you have to stay at least two weeks long. No food was offered. The couple patios were nice. I like the big electronic boards they have in the hallways that show people the times, and what activities were happening that day. They also have a van where they take people out on little field trips. People were friendly. The actual room the person would have would have a bedroom, and they'd have their own living room area, and their own bathroom with the shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and gave a lot of good information. They explained how you become a resident, or the process.

Eskaton Lodge Gold River is a very rich environment, and that means everything is rich -- including the price. It's a nice place, and the people are very professional. They have a very nice marketing style, and I think most people are swept off their feet by them.

I liked Eskaton Lodge Gold River, but it was just too far away. The tour we had was good. They were really nice. The rooms were kind of small but I actually kind of liked that for my mom because she doesn't have to go far from the bed to the bathroom. That was kind of a plus for me. The facility seemed really good and they had good monitoring. They had cameras in the room which were activated by motion, so I really liked that feature. The staff was really friendly. I liked them. It was clean, in good shape, and had a nice setting. They have a nice common area, a dining room, and an activities room.
