Assisted Living Communities in Eureka, CA

"I chose Especially You Assisted Living for my mom because it is small, personal and home like. It doesn't feel like an institution. The rooms are mostly double occupancy and it is spacious enough. They have their own bathroom. They have a living area with TV and a dining room. It is very much like a very large house. I also like the people there. They are very good. The problems that I had, I've been able to approach them and talk with them and change whatever they are doing or attended to whatever my concerns were. They had activities but I am not familiar with them because my mother also goes to adult day care where they had activities every day of the week. So, she is not involved in the activities in the home. "

"We went on a tour of Alder Bay Assisted Living. It went awesomely, they're very polite and answered all of our questions, and their price is unbelievably good. The facility is excellent. We did not try the food but by the looks of the menu on the board, it's got to be excellent. They've got opportunities for family members if they don't like what's being served too, they could serve you something else. We went searching for assisted living and I'm very happy with it."

"Timber Ridge had a program called Renaissance which was associated with the Alzheimer's program. The Renaissance had more caregivers and more security to prevent people from wandering outside. Timber Ridge would be a good place in case my mother would develop further needs. I was very impressed by the staff during our brief visit. There was a wide range of activities. The facility was very attractive all in all! "

"Humboldt House Lodge is new, very clean, and very well cared for. It's a small house, so we do not have a lot of activities going on here. We have an extensive video library and do movie night and puzzles. We have a bus that takes us around town. The staff is great, but the food needs improvement."

"My dad moved in in Frye's Care Home in February of this year. It came as a recommendation from a relative. It has one person who runs this facility. She's there almost every day and is watching over the people, her employees, and the people who live there. It's very obvious that all the people who work there, including the owner, really care about the people who live in the facility. It's definitely not institutional. They have 3 meals a day. They wash clothes. They don't have a nurse on staff, but they take the person to a hospital or other treatment facility themselves. They do some day trips. They have bingo, and they have people coming in and play music for them. It has one room with a bathroom, but it's large for this type of facility. The food is good. It has good variety. We have no problems at all. "

"We visited Timber Ridge at McKinleyville. The place was really clean, nice, and newer compared to the other place we saw. Everything was bigger. The staff who accommodated us was very polite. "
