Independent Living Communities in Granite Bay, CA

"I toured Carlton Senior Living in Orangevale. I liked the rooms, and they have pre-memory care. What stood out to me was that if there's an emergency and you need to move in right away, they can pull together furniture if needed. So, they were very helpful. The tour was nice. I felt like it was very quaint to me. It seemed less busy, which was nice, but maybe people were sleeping depending on the time of day, which was nice too. I appreciate the willingness to help if things need to happen fast. The staff was wonderful and answered all the questions that I had as far as visitation, things like that. Everyone's really good. The kitchen area was nice. I thought it was very clean. Maybe everyone was doing laundry, and nothing was out of place."

"I'm so grateful we found Friendly Care Home 2. Camelia and the staff are outstanding. Mom, who had dementia, and Dad, who had diabetes, were challenged in 2022 to find a home where they could be together and receive the care they each required. Each had a spacious private room to sleep in; however, during the day, they sat together in my dad's room with side-by-side recliners. The experienced staff met their needs with kindness and respect until their passing, making my parents feel comfortable and well-cared for. The same attention is given at mealtime. Each is thoughtfully prepared with fresh, nutritious ingredients to meet resident's needs. Fresh-baked bread was Dad's favorite! For anyone looking for quality care, excellent communication, and a safe, nurturing environment for their loved ones, I highly recommend Friendly Care Home 2."

"I am looking at choosing Blossom Vale Senior Living for my parents. It was an excellent place. Natalie was the one that toured us, and she was very good at her job. She could answer all the questions. And also, my in-laws are moving in there as well, so it worked out well. We went back with my in-laws and we had dinner there, and it was really good. We started with a studio. It was an extra large studio with a separate bedroom. So, that was nice. We saw the one-bedroom apartment and it was a very nice size, and then the two-bedroom was like a small apartment. It was very nice. They had the pull cords and they had small kitchens, but with everything in it. The courtyard was very pretty. The dining facility was very nice. They had a beauty salon, a theater, and a library. They had special events, like every Tuesday, they have Taco Tuesday and margaritas. It just makes it fun for the residents."

"I toured Ivy Park at Roseville. It was well laid out. They had everything anyone could want in a senior living experience. Their kitchens are very small, but the meals are included, so you don't need a kitchen. They had laundry facilities on every floor. Their activities seemed very varied, like something for everyone. I did see people in the halls and common areas who seem to be enjoying themselves. It was very clean, and the staff I met were excellent, but they were too expensive for me."

"It was hard to park and get into Creekside Oaks Retirement Community, but once we got in and found out that they were having all the furniture replaced (that has to be done), we were pretty happy. Looking around the facility, everyone's smiling and happy and just on the way to doing something and not people sitting there in a wheelchair. I had a good impression of them. Renee was very friendly. I've spoken with her a bunch of times since, and so has my mom, and they're just checking on her, making sure if she has any questions or anything. So, the follow-up was good. Renee knew the inside and out of that building like it was her own house, which I was pretty impressed with. She showed us three different rooms and they were all beautiful. We only used one dining area, although they had others, and the food there was excellent. The staff was really good, professional, and friendly. The cook was fantastic."

"Ansel Park Independent Living was beautiful. The staff was very good. He was very helpful. The rooms were very nice. They showed me a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom. They were very large and well- equipped. I would rate it great because I'm considering it."

"We toured Truewood by Merrill, Roseville. There wasn't anything that we didn't care for. Julie, who took us around, was so helpful, and just her attitude towards the staff and the residents, I could tell there was a definite concern. She wanted to make them comfortable and meet all their needs as well as ours, and she showed us properties that might work well for them. She also took us on a tour of all the things that were available there. The dining hall was very nice, and the staff who served us were very nice. The food was good too, and it's a beautiful area. The apartments were very nice. She showed us one that had just been renovated. It was spacious. She said that for the one bathroom, there was a glass shower door, and they would change that out to a curtain so my sister-in-law could go in without stepping over a threshold. It was all very nice."

"My sister and brother-in-law moved into Cogir of Stock Ranch Senior Living. They seem to be happy enough with the food. They have very nice happy hours twice a week, and then another show, usually around three entertainment shows a week. We looked at a lot of places, and this had very good ratings, and it was very, very nice. The place is kept very clean. Everybody is very nice, so no complaints. The staff is very good. They're all very friendly and helpful. The dining area is beautiful and very clean."

"My mother has moved into Eskaton Village Roseville. They are patient and they're very kind to people. Most of the people I run into there seem to be very happy with their circumstances. The place is very neat, clean, and well-maintained. They promote a strong social engagement structure to keep people active and involved in what's going on around them so they don't become isolated. They offer a wide range of both physical activities, as well as mentally stimulating activities to keep older people from slipping into isolation and lack of engagement. The staff in their restaurant is extremely patient and accommodating."

"The Revel Folsom is very attractive. It's built around a large open courtyard that surrounds an oak grove. There are a lot of patio areas. There's a variety of different apartments available from studio to two-bedroom-two bath. The food is delicious. There is an indoor saltwater pool. There's water aerobics, water walking, a bocce ball court, and walking groups. There is a nice area for walking. It's close to restaurants, retail shopping, and grocery shopping, too. The staff are very friendly, very accommodating, and very helpful. I haven't gotten super involved in activities, but I know they're available."

"My mom moved to Oakmont of Westpark. Everyone was super helpful, bright, and cheerful. They took the time to explain. We met with the activities director. We met with the medical director. We met with the assistant activities director. We met with a lot of the team there before we decided, and everybody took the time for us. The lady who was a public relations coordinator was only like her first month there. Anything that I had questions about she didn't know the answer to, she took note of and then she got right back to me on it. The food was good. My mom enjoys it. The dining room staff are super friendly and the care team that is serving the food. They give them three meals a day. They have food sitting out. My mom gets to have two choices at every meal on what she wants to have. Every day they exercise. They have art. They have field trips once a week. They have car rides once a week. It's a beautiful place. It doesn't feel like it's a hospital. It has a cruise ship type of feel, like a beautiful hotel. They do bingo with them a couple of times a week. They have a movie theater there and they do all kinds of stuff with them."

"I moved to El Dorado Estates Gracious Retirement Living, and I like this place. I like that I have my own private little apartment that has a nice little patio, so I can get fresh air. I have a one-bedroom, and it's plenty of room. I was surprised at how I got my furniture to fit so well. It has a lot of storage. I get three meals a day, and they even have soft-serve ice cream I can get at any time. The residents and the staff are also very friendly. Sometimes the food is really good, but sometimes it's not. I don't like everything, but it's good food, and it is healthy. They also have a good variety, and you can choose what you want to eat. The place has just been redone, and it's beautiful. It's very clean, and the grounds are well-kept and well-maintained. It is decorated very nicely. They have games like Bingo, chair volleyball, and Mexican Train. They have arts and crafts and all kinds of activities. They have a movie theater with a different movie every day that they show twice a day."

"My cousin is moving into Winding Commons. The adult living there would seem to suit our needs. The people are very nice. The floor plans were the big push. It also is close to her doctor in Mercy San Juan. So that was another big draw. It was within our price range, so this worked out well. I've only met about three of the staff. Hillary was just wonderful and so is Christine. We saw a lot of the menus. We were able to see some of the residents, too, and they were very thrilled with the food. It's close to a market so they can buy food. If she wanted to buy food and cook her own in her kitchenette that was an option. The square footage of the room made sense. She had ample square space for her living room and her bedroom, plus a patio. It's also on the first floor. My cousin has a dog, so that was important. We were able to go to an end unit, which was another plus. She can go out and take the dog out through the exit which was just right on the end of the unit, which is kind of nice. They have a monthly calendar of all the activities. You could pick and choose whatever you wanted to do or nothing. So that's kind of nice. They could take them back and forth to the store or over to their appointments, dentists, and physicians. And that was another big draw, too. All she had to do was to sign up. They had a nice bit of a theater there, a library, and a big computer room with several computers in there. The washer and dryer units were close, just right down the hall in each area. They also had a maid that came in twice a week if you wanted them to do laundry for your bedding, towels, and the heavy stuff. So that was another nice feature."
