Assisted Living Communities in Turlock, CA

"Mom is at Valley Royale Care and it's been an excellent experience. We like that it's smaller, more personalized, private, and quiet, and they're very caring. It's well-kept, clean, organized, and safely built for the residents. It makes it feel very comfortable for them. The food is prepared for them. It's healthy and they're customizing it to their diet. They're also able to do what they like to do, whether they go for a stroll or a walk outside. They can do anything that the resident likes."

"Vintage Faire is very good. I’m very pleased, they take good care of my mom. The place is nice, clean, and well taken care of. The staff is very good there. My mom said the food is good, and she doesn’t miss a meal. They have all kinds of activities, but my mom doesn’t go. They do provide a lot activities though. I thought what they offered for the price was very good. "

"Dale Commons is a nice facility, but they don't accept MasterCare. My mom couldn't pay rent there because it's like $7,000 a month. With MasterCare they accept her Social Security 90% and then pick up the rest. It's very, very nice. I would love to be able to use their facility, but they can't afford it. It's a five because of the way they take care of their people. They follow them around from room to room to make sure that they don't get lost or they don't fall. I like the way they set their people down in the restaurant and then they wait on them like they're in a restaurant and they take their order. Everyone that I met there was very nice. The common areas were beautiful and the rooms were really nice."

"I visited Astoria Senior Living - Oakdale. The staff and the facility seemed to be more down-to-earth. It had more common things. If I were gonna rate it as a hotel, I would say it was a four instead of a five, but I'd still rate it as a five being an assisted living. Not so much the staff, but the actual residents there seemed friendlier than at the other place. They had a dining area. The place was clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You furnish your own furnishings and it was also too expensive for me."

"I visited. What I liked most about the visit was the friendly and helpful people. They showed me a room in the assisted living. There was no furniture or anything included, just a little kitchenette. The person who toured me was very knowledgeable. I saw that they had a courtyard there, too."

"I liked the cleanliness of Amie Marchini Park Merced. I liked the layout, and it's very beautiful. I like the fact that it had places for families to go and visit and plenty of activities. And they understood that For people with dementia, their reality, there's no use arguing with them or telling them anything. They understood a lot with people of that age group. We had a studio apartment that we looked at. I liked it. That was all on the ground floor because otherwise, you get an elevator, and my mom's in a walker. And if there's a fire, you want them to be able to get out. You go in, there's a large, large closet to the left. So we looked at one that had a little kitchen area, with a refrigerator, sink, cupboards, and bathroom with a lot more features as far as handles and things they can grab bars and the items that they can pull because my mom usually falls in the bathroom. They were prepared, they greeted us by name, and they were ready for us. We can take as long as we want, we can ask as many questions, and they weren't in a hurry. They were very concerned that we had all of our questions answered. The staff was very kind and very sweet. She was the one who had insights for us to help us deal with our mother."

"I had the opportunity to visit this facility today. Prior to this I visited numerous facilities. I was impressed with how clean the outside of the facility was. I walked in and saw such a welcoming atmosphere. Residents were having lunch as if they were at a 5-star resort restaurant! I was greeted with a warm smile by the receptionist. Every staff member that walked by me said hello while I was awaiting my tour. I met with director Elizabeth E. She was amazing! She took the time to listen to my needs and the needs of my father. I left with valuable information to make an informed decision about my father's care. I highly recommend this facility to care for our loved ones. Their level of service has surpassed my expectations!"

"We toured Cogir of Manteca Senior Living. Everyone was very nice. The food was very good. The chef is very nice. It's not plain food. It's five-star food. The facilities are immaculate. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. The rooms are good size. The price is good. Their agenda for the seniors is good to keep them busy, which is what I like. They try to get the seniors out once a week, they said, on a little bus trip, so can't beat that. It was a very nice dinner. We had a lot of different choices, not just a menu of what they had. They also had food available if you didn't care for some of the stuff on the dinner menu. You could have other things, so I chose that, and my sister did the same thing. The staff was informative and took their time. They didn't rush us through. I didn't feel they had a tour of 20 minutes or 30 minutes. We just walked around, they asked questions, and I asked questions. They showed me the rooms that they have and their situations."

"Lifespring Senior Campus was fine. It's not quite the setting we're looking for at this time, but what we saw was good. The staff did an excellent job of showing us around. The rooms were clean and well taken care of. They were having lunch, so there weren't any activities going on. They don't even let you in the kitchen. We just saw the kitchen through a window and saw them eating through a window. They have two living rooms and both of them were cozy and had materials for them to read. It's just an older building and could probably use some upgrades, but it was fine."

"We took my mom to see St. Francis Assisted Care and she just loved it. She can't wait to go. The staff was really friendly, and everyone seemed to know each other. It was a small community, so I think that would work best for my mom. The apartment had a bathroom, a closet, and a place to put her TV. It's like moving into an unfurnished apartment. The staff who assisted us with the tour was really good. She was very friendly and very personable. There was some concern from my siblings that they have a staircase going from the second floor to the first floor, and it's unguarded. There was no door or anything. You just walk down the stairs. It would have been better to have that more secured so that people from the upstairs don't try to go down the stairs and then not make it. Their physical facilities may not be the best compared to the other places we toured."

"We stayed in Las Palmas Estates last December. The food is great, the people are great, but they have bedbugs. You don't do very much there. They had a list of activities, we didn't do much, we played bingo. We went to the Christmas party. I think sometimes they have somebody come in and do people's hair. I know they're doing people's nails. They need to listen to their people because I talked to the manager, I told her, other people told me they were being bitten. She says "We don't have bed bugs." I mean, my daughter got bitten terribly, the first night we were there. We brought bedding, and after that, she wasn't."

"My mother moved into St. Thomas Retirement Center and Assisted Living. It is an excellent place. It's the cleanest place and very organized. Excellent room. She has a studio. Everything is excellent, I have nothing bad to say about it. She's been eating well. They have exercises and games. They have a big room where they do the activity. The dining area is clean. They have a rose garden in the center of the complex. The communication has been great. They have a van for those that can't go to appointments."

"I had to place my parent in a home and this was just like having him at my own home. It was well home cooked meals and like family taking care of him."

"Samaritan Village is a very beautiful community. They were very, very helpful, very polite, and very friendly. They have lots to offer for somebody with my dad's care and needs. It's very clean, very uplifting, and very encouraging. We talked to some of the seniors there, and some of them have only been there for two weeks, and they were very happy. They never experienced anything like this. The people are just very outgoing. If I had to rate it a ten out of a ten, I'd give it a ten. They have a five-star restaurant there open to the public. They offer their clients 45 meals free a month. The family members can come and stay up to two weeks with the family member that's there. They have a place where the family member can do puzzles and read books, and they have theaters. They have just so much to offer for the family member that goes there. The rooms are brand new. The buildings are kept. They have an exercise room. The bathroom is equipped for handicapped, and it's wheelchair accessible. It has its own kitchen facility and a front room. The only thing that they didn't have is it's not furnished. You furnish it the way you want it to be furnished. They have someone come in and help clean every so often. It's very, very nice. It's like an apartment, almost like a hotel, but better. It's like a five-star hotel. It's just beautiful. All you see are happy elderly people, and they're very friendly, and they just seemed very content. When you go in there, you don't see a bunch of grouchy people in there."
