The Best Assisted Living Communities in Amador County, CA

"We are not at that point yet, but Brookdale Folsom would be the preference for us if my mother were to go into a facility. I liked it because they had a lot of activities and different functions that one could select from. It is a beautiful and very clean facility. The staff members were very helpful in answering questions. Overall, they put on a nice tour. They showed us different options of rooms, like an apartment versus a studio. They also took us into a unit that was being renovated, and it was very nice. One of the sales or marketing people took her time with us. She didn't rush us. She answered all our questions. Because this was our first time on this journey, she also brought up some very good points for us to think about. She followed up with phone calls, not to pressure us, but was like, "Hey, how's it going? What else can we do to help you?" We're very impressed. They would like us to bring my mother back over there when she gets out of the facility that she's in now. They wanted her to meet some people and have lunch with them, so that we could also sit down and have lunch. However, we didn't want any meal on the day we were there because we had just eaten. The place was so clean, and it smelled nice. It wasn't musky like some of them were. The way it is laid out is easier for someone who might not have all their faculties. Like they know how to get to the elevator, and they have assistance there. It is really good. I'm really impressed with it."

"Amador Residential Care was very clean. They've had a COVID outbreak, so my mother could not move in yet. Pricewise, it was more affordable than the other place. I think the caregiver to resident ratio is really good, and they have the ability to use a hoyer lift and other means for transferring patients, and that's also very important. The staff was very helpful and she's kept me abreast of the situation there as far as being able to transfer my mom. So she's been very good. Her name is Julie. I only went through one portion because that would be the portion that she would be living in. It wasn't like there were holes in the wall or water pouring from somewhere or anything. It was cheerful, it had a lot of homey aspects to it."

"Mom really likes Oak Manor, and everything has been great. She likes the food, too. She has a big, nice room with a slider where she can step out and sit outside. She is really enjoying herself. She's socializing and playing cards three hours a day. They also have bowling, bingo, and go shopping. The staff is very caring and call me back right away when I ask them to check on my mom."

"My mom moved to Gold Quartz Inn Senior Retirement Home. It's clean and neat. It's a single room. They have a church, games, and other things, and she can walk around the facility and talk to people if she wishes. I went for lunch once, and today they had pizza, and I thought it was bland and tasteless."

"This is a residence for mentally challenged men and women. Our son had been there for several years and has improved tremendously over the past few years, It is an excellent home with many activities for the residents to enjoy, especially sports. They also go on at least one trip a year such as Disneyland. The rooms are shared and are very nice. The residents can decorate their area with their own choices. The caregivers are wonderful people who have been in the field of special education for many years and understand the residents extremely well. Unfortunately there are not many homes like this but we were fortunate to find it, We would recommend it to anyone if they have an opening and those are few and far between."

"My mother was at Country Haven for almost 3 years...I was so thankful that when she went on Hospice she was allowed to stay at "home"....The caregivers have always been top notch and I can't give them enough praise for what they do every day...And all the extras like picking up her medications from the drug store and bringing her meals to her room were all included in the monthly rent...Thank You Country Haven!!! "

"My mom moved into Blissful Garden. What I liked best was, number one, it was very close to me, so I was two miles away. Number two, it's a small community. There are only maybe 40 patients. My mom was broken on the right side completely, arm, leg, and hip. We were looking for more care, someone who could come in and change her, bathe her, and do a Hoyer lift, and they can do all those things. She has a private room. It's lovely. It's small, just enough for a bed, a little table, a chair, and her TV on the wall. The bathroom is down the hall. Nobody has a bathroom in their rooms because a good portion of residents either have dementia or are recuperating from a fall. The food is quite good. My mom raves about it. She says it's great. She's eating much better. There's a little kitchen right here. They can ask for things. If you want mustard on your sandwich, you ask, and they tailor it to you. So, they're very good. The people are extraordinarily caring, nice, and good to my mom, and they come when she rings the button. My mom has not been participating in the puzzles, but they have music, exercise hours, and all kinds of things going on."

"Apple Country Care Home # 2 has six bedrooms and six residents, and we're really happy with it. A nurse and her husband own this facility in a house and own another one in Camino. This place in El Dorado is for residents requiring 24-hour care who cannot do anything for themselves. We really like it because we need to trust the caregivers and consistency. With only six residents, the care providers know their residents quite well, and they've been very good with my mom-in-law. The food is so-so, but it is nutritious and that's what's important. "

"I liked Eskaton Lodge Cameron Park. It was relatively new. Everything was updated, fresh, and clean looking. It's got a nice, open lobby. I really was impressed with the rooms that they have. They have a nurse there 24 hours. They have activities for the people. They showed where people had painted pictures and hung them up on the wall after they had done them. They had crafts and things like that for the residents. They have the dining room, like most of the places do. They had a lovely outdoor area for seating, it's clean, and it had benches and chairs. They take them out to doctor appointments or whatever. They have the transportation. Pretty much a lot of things are available there. I was impressed with the room because it's nice sized. They had it furnished, so they had a double bed in there with a nightstand alongside of it. They had a built-in large cabinet with mini refrigerator and microwave in it, a regular closet, a room for a single dresser that you could bring in, and a chair. There's plenty of room in there and it does come with a TV all ready and set up for every room. You don't have to bring your own. It had the private bathroom, which to me was important for my mom and the walk-in shower and everything you would expect for elderly people. The lady that showed us the tour was very, very nice. The other people there were saying hello and being friendly. It's very clean."

"I toured New West Haven. I liked it because it felt very homey. It was smaller than most of the ones that I've ever been to, but it seemed very nice, as well as the people I met. I met people who worked in the kitchen, those who worked with each person, and the activities director. It was a rainy day, and the people who normally gave the tours were not available. So, the activities director took me around. I enjoyed it and they were very personable. They invited me to stay for lunch, but I couldn't because I had an appointment at the other facility, and then I had another appointment right after that to go somewhere. So, I declined. They showed me all the floor plans and things that would be available, like a one-bedroom or studio type. They showed me all different levels and I liked it because it had an elevator in it that you could use."

"My mother has been at Gold Country Skilled Nursing for almost eight years. The staff and nurses are excellent. What I like about Gold Country is that they have the apartments, assisted living, and skilled nursing. So a person can be in skilled nursing and go back to either assisted living or the apartment. They are currently rated 5 out of 5 by Medicare. Take a tour and go see for yourself. "

"The staff of Sunshine Glory Care Home are really amazing. They really care for their clients. They provide personalized support. You can feel their love as they do their job. They don't just help you physically but more so spiritually. They know how to encourage & inspire you when you are down. I really love these guys. They are not perfect but they are real people, especially the owner, Merly A. She is an amazing woman. She goes out of her way just to help you. "

"I chose Woodridge Place for my husband because it is clean, small and compact. It is not chaotic like the other large facility where he was at. It is a residential care facility for six people, so it is very homey. Because it is small, he doesn't have to walk very far to go from one place to another. The meals they have for their residents are very good. They are all home-cooked meals. It smells good when you walk in and it is very nice. Their staff is very caring. Their activities are very limited though this is mainly because most of the residents are not participating. My husband for example does not participate as much. They have a piano there that he will play with occasionally. They have puzzles and games in the table but they are not participating. Otherwise, it is a safe and caring place. It is the right place for my husband and I'm very happy he is there. "

"This place are very clean and smell fresh.staff are very attentive and kind and caring to their residents.they have excellent service.i highly recommend this board and care to someone who’s looking a place for their love ones."
