Assisted Living Communities in Turlock, CA

"Dale Commons the staff was very friendly. The apartments were adequate. It was not a good fit for my mother-in-law. The residents seemed happy. The place was very clean. "

"My cousin moved into Astoria Senior Living - Oakdale. I liked the caring personnel that was there, not only dealing with me before he got there, but then after he got there too, and how helpful they are with everything. He's still going through an adjustment period, but they have numerous activities for him. They have live music come in and play. They have art, and he was a graphic artist. He's interacting with other people now whereas before he was a recluse practically in his house because he didn't drive. His apartment is adequate for where he's at, at the moment. He has a nice window that overlooks the courtyard. He has a private bath and a closet. I haven't tried the food, but I saw it because I've been in and it looks wonderful. They have a chef there that cooks, they have access to snacks during the day. I can't say enough about the place. One of the residents that was there, she's there temporarily in the assisted living part, and when I was touring the place, she reached out to me and told me that the place was wonderful. She said, when they say they treat you like family, they do. And so that was very encouraging to have one of the people that is staying there tell me how great it was. "

"I have visited this facility numerous times and always have a pleasant time with all of the staff. They take good care of my mother in law and have made this transition easy on our family."

"Park Merced Assisted Living in Merced, CA is a pretty nice Assisted Living Facility. I went there in the month of June to see my great aunt. It is a fairly old facility, I think around 30 years, but it is still in great condition. During my visits it was always clean and kept up. The staff was friendly and helpful in most occasions. My great Aunt enjoys staying in this facility and has said she has made many friends. She is well taken care of by the nurses and says that they are very sweet. She likes the fact that they offer amenities such as arts and crafts time, as well as bingo. She also mentioned a Music and Performing Arts program that she enjoys. She enjoys the food that is provided here as well. I would rate this facility 4 out of 5 stars, as it is one of the better ones I have been to. "

"My brother-in-law will move to Manteca Assisted Living. It looked clean and maintained. The layout was good. The staff was good. They answered all our questions."

"My daughter chose Emeritus at Manteca for me. The staff was very nice. The food is not that good, but the new owner has said that they are going to bring in some dieticians, so I am giving them a chance to see how it will improve. Their activities are very few. I play their 2-dollar bingo and that's about it. "

"We were impressed with Lifespring. I liked their sense of care. The woman who showed us around was the manager there. I liked the layout and the courtyard; there was a sense of community, and it felt good. They had a lot of heart, and you don’t always see that. It was a very good one. We saw an activity; it was that part of day where the seniors were in their little activity center there, and it seemed very chatty like everyone was interested in being there. The place didn’t smell even though it is an older place, it has a courtyard, and it was beautiful. They had a piano, they had a different place across the way that you can go, and there was a small but nice little private room, which was all very nicely done for all of that. It is not high-end, and that is the only thing, but that is not important to me. It felt comfy, and it felt like a home. It had a lot of heart, and that was very important. I just felt like there was a lot of care in this place. And I, myself, if that time comes to me, I would be happy moving into this place. "

"My wife moved to St. Francis Assisted Care at the end of March of this year. It's like an apartment complex. They're very helpful. It is clean. They don't have a lot of activities; they spend a lot of time taking care of their residents. The staff is very friendly. They're there to do their job, and they don't mess around, which is good. My wife is a special situation where she seems to be asking for a lot of things, and they're very patient about helping her, getting her what she needs, and taking care of her requirements. They're very attentive, very nice, very good, and very professional. She has a shared room, and there is plenty of space for two persons to occupy the space. They do have other options where you wouldn't have to share a room, but it's cheaper if you will share a room, and it also helps to give them some company, so that they're not always alone. The dining facility is sufficient for the number of people they've got. It's clean, and even right after mealtime, I'm really surprised that it's not a mess. They do have meals on a regular basis that were very substantial. They're pretty conscious about any dietary requirements for any given person. They make sure they give the appropriate meal for the condition of their diet. Their food varies, and it was very good and very well balanced. "

"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."

"Covenant Village was like living at the Marriott Hotel. The staff was helpful, very knowledgeable, and good. "

"My parents like St. Thomas Retirement Center; they're happy there. The room is very clean and fairly large. The staff members are excellent. They are very professional and caring. It is an older establishment from the 1980s, but they're doing some remodeling. It is a very good value."

"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 was the place we liked the best, and it was also the most expensive. It was a very attractive place with very nice facilities, but there was no place that suited our particular need. We saw the rooms that were for assisted living. They were studio apartments, and they were only for one person. Two people could share a room, but it would be extremely close quarters. The other places were out in separate buildings, which were some distance away from the main hall. The rooms were very nice. Everything was very nice about it -- it just wasn't what we felt we needed. We would have wanted a place where we could fix our own food at least part of the time, and the assisted living did not have that. I would rate it very highly as far as the amenities and the way it looks. However, it was out of our range cost wise. Everyone was very nice and very helpful. It was a very nice visit. It's a very large place with a lot of different kinds of buildings, separate cottage type places, a lot of apartments, and a variety of ways of living there. "

"The facility is very spacious and clean. The staff members were nice and pleasant. The neighbors seemed friendly also. We are hoping to get our family member in here soon!"
