Assisted Living Communities in Eureka, CA

"Especially You is very welcoming, very clean, and homey. Grandma's room is also homey and comfortable. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. They offer a variety of activities throughout the week. I've seen the calendar up on a whiteboard in the hallway, and I think they have somebody come in and play music, and they do coloring, too. The dining area is very nice. It's a large room with multiple chairs and tables in it. It's like a family setting and they are very open to what grandma likes. They make sure that they have what she likes on hand."

"I went to Alder Bay Assisted Living. What I liked best was that it was very close for my mother to get everything that she needed. There was nothing I did not like about it. The staff was great. Everything looked fine. It was a nice and quiet environmentl, and people were going about whatever they were doing. It seemed like a nice place to be so far."

"My mother and father moved to this Eureka, CA facility last summer and I visited for a week to observe their care. The building is new, furnishings are clean, rooms are individually decorated and the grounds well kept; the dining room is large and the cuisine, though institutional, is quite good and new menus are created every week. A variety of in house activities and organized trips for shopping and recreation are available. The maintenance, health care, food service and administrative staff are consistently alert, reliable and show good judgment and "people skills". I have not made price comparisons but my sister, an MD, judges the facility good value and among the best available in the area. I don't have any worries about my parents' welfare, now assisted by hospice care for my ailing father, and I'm grateful for the quality of care provided by Dr. Farnum and his family. "

"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 parents are in Frye's Care Home. It is excellent. The room is very nice and clean. The service and food are very good. The staff is very attentive. They have a piano and accordion player and holiday family activities, like barbecues. The price is high, but a lot of community members compliment the place. I have a lot of good referrals and reviews from friends and families. "

"I got a good impression of Timber Ridge at McKinleyville. It seemed clean, kind of positive, and nice. They have a good variety of rooms, which look like apartments. Everything looked fairly clean and well put together. They have a beauty salon, they play bingo, there are events, and a number of activities that my mother will be interested in. The staff seemed friendly and like good people. It's one of the better places I've seen. They have a small outdoor area."
