Park Folsom

My father-in-law seems happy at Park Folsom, so I'm happy. It's not as fancy as other places, but it's nice, clean and homey. The staff provides breakfast and lunch, which my father-in-law seems to enjoy. The dining area is very nice and the food is good. They don't offer as many choices, but it works for my father-in-law. It's centrally-located and there are a lot of places he can walk to. They also have pool tables, all kinds of facilities, they take them to shopping, and they go on trips. He also likes the staff really well. The price is very reasonable.

The staff who work with the clients are kind people, but the owner of this establishment is not what you would hope for or expect. She took it upon herself to order something for my mother in laws room. It arrived around the same time my MIL was hospitalized and later passed away. Instead of her communicating with us directly which you would expect in this situation she did nothing. Even after my MIL passed and she saw me in the office and every day at the facility for the next week cleaning out her room she never informed me it was there and she would be charging her for something she never received or used. Logic would presume you would send it back or refuse delivery. We only found out she charged her for ½ of the of it because she took it off of the cleaning deposit we had mailed to us. The invoice stated because the item was “here” she had to charge her for it. Totally ridiculous and very unprofessional!!! Again, she could have very easily returned/refused the product, but again instead she charged her so she could use it for her facility and only had to pay ½ (unless she used it for another client which after speaking to other is probably exactly what she did!) We also had to chuckle as she also took off a rug cleaning charge which was ridiculous since the carpet already had stains before she moved in and we had to clean the carpet before she moved in just 6 weeks prior. My MIL was told rent was not to be turned in earlier than the 1st of every month but they collected a check from her before that time (5 days) as she couldn’t have given them a check on the first of the month because she was hospitalized on the 28th passed away at the end of the previous month; we’re guessing on the day she was hospitalized. I am truly disappointed that facilities can take advantage of elderly people and families like this. Please do yourselves a favor and look for another facility for your loved one or yourself.

I've lived here since September 1, 2017. Park Folsom exceeded my expectations. I wanted to still have private transportation and vacation money left over after I paid independent living rent and choosing Park Folsom gives me that. The bonus is the that the caregivers really do care about the well being of the residents. The two meals at day provided are breakfast and noon meals. They are nutritious and satisfying. For my night meal, I choose not to cook and have tossed vegetable salad and salad dressing, a fresh fruit, cheese stick, and lunchmeat sandwich. The refrigerator provided is full sized, and there are two electric stovetop burners that I use. Because I choose not to cook, I choose not to have a microwave, and eat my night meal on my kitchenette counter, sitting on a bar stool. My total studio apartment area is 341 sq. ft.. My open area that I call my living room area/multipurpose area is a square of 36 sq. ft. Right now it has my unfolded card table and set-up ironing board for my sewing project. This is the furniture that is around the perimeter of this rectangular studio apartment.: couch against back picture window, bedroom dresser and queen-sized bed on one side, games cabinet, printer table, kitchen table that is now my multi-purpose table and holds my desk top computer, phone, and sewing machine. Fitted in also are two end tables and a small office supplies table.

Park Folsom was old. The apartments were dated and some of them were not in very good condition, like there were scuffs and scrapes on the cabinet doors, multiple layers of paint, and the carpets didn’t look that clean. They served two meals, and the staff was friendly. They do have a laundry service that takes care of towels and the sheets, and they have a washer and dryer in a couple of places in the building that are available to the residents at no cost. They had pull cords and intercoms, and they would check on you if you didn’t show up for breakfast or lunch. They have a dining room, a library, and a craft room for games and things like that. They have a bus that would take the residents to appointments and weekly shopping trips, which was all included in the rent.

We found Park Folsom for my father. He hasn't moved in yet, but what I like best about this community was that the people were really friendly and that it was affordable. They have two meals a day. When we visited this facility, the residents that we talked to were really friendly, and they spoke highly of the place. A lot of them have lived there a long time. Regarding my father's room, he will have his own studio with a kitchen. With regards to sanitation, the facility seemed very clean. It is an older facility, and it is not really modern or anything, but my father doesn’t need all the modern amenities. It was a lot more affordable than the other places.

I would like to go to Park Folsom. The room is a studio, which is 16 x 13.6. It has a very nice sliding glass door out to a patio, which makes it very bright. It has a kitchenette and a very good closet. In terms of service, it is about the same as you would find anywhere else. They have two meals a day. They make your bed and clean up every week. I would recommend it. It is very well kept. It is one of the most reasonably priced places.

My mom lives at Park Folsom. She has her own apartment. They provide housekeeping for their residents. They have a dining room. They have their own free activities. The place is extremely clean. Everybody is like one giant family and they were calling on a first name basis. They provide two meals a day; breakfast and lunch. My mom is a picky eater, but she really likes the food there so that's a good thing.
