The Best Independent Living Communities in Placer County, CA

"We toured The Terraces of Roseville. I liked the positive vibe and the atmosphere when we walked in. It was clean. The staff was very friendly."

"I am so grateful that my mother lives at Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay! The staff is very friendly and caring. They are always aware of the needs and feelings of the residents and make a real effort to make them feel safe and at home. The food is great, the facilities, are beautiful. It certainly deserves 5 stars!"

"We toured Sequoia Grove Gracious Retirement Living. I felt like they were selling me a timeshare. The lady explained it and she's the salesperson. She said they're a corporation, and once the facility is at 92% full, she's out of there and moves on to the next one. The administration there was very nice and she sat down and talked with us for a long time about things I like. She showed us 4 or 5 different floor plans and that was nice. And the dining room is fabulous. It has white tablecloths, white cloth napkins, and tall water glasses. And I said, wow, I feel like I've got to get dressed up to come down here and eat. And she said, "No, no, no. We just don't want pajamas and slippers and all that". But I thought it seemed like they spent more money in the dining room than needed. They didn't have a pet fee or a community fee, which is nice. You can have a vehicle, it's no charge, and internet, cable, and all that wi-fi are included, but the rooms, the one-bedroom I looked at that was on the internet for $3,795 was $5,100. And I said, what happened to $3,795 and she said, well, those are other floor plans and we can show you some. They didn't all have balconies. Some of them were just a French door out to a little cement patio. It was very high-end, very expensive, and everything was beautiful. They have a nice, authentic theater. We spoke to a few residents and they were very displeased with the administration. One of the residents pointed in the direction of the lady who was touring us. The lady wasn't there with us that time, but she said "That administration, I don't like them. " For example, she said, I had a Christmas wreath on my door and they complained about it and said I had to take it down. The week before that, they had a contest on door decorations. It could've been that she doesn't get along with them. We just had that one opinion, but that was before we got the tour. And by the time the tour was over, I looked at my daughter and she looked at me. I said I could see what that lady was talking about. They're very pushy. I can't tell you how many times she said, so which one are you comfortable in? And then she's telling me that she can make a deal. She said now, if you don't see me, next time you come in here, you won't get a deal because I can tinker with the prices. I can give you a couple of months, three months, I think she said, or $1,000 off. She was going to make deals like freezing your rent for two years and saying, I can give discounts on things. And she said, but when I'm gone after it's 92% full you won't get those discounts. And she kept saying, if you see one you like, put $100 on it. We'll keep an eye on it. She didn't want me to leave without getting some money from me, and that to me was like a timeshare thing. She was very friendly and very nice, and she wasn't rude or anything, just a little aggressive and pushy."

"My father has lived here for four months now. I work from his room, so I know what goes on every day, Monday - Friday. The care staff is always very friendly and cheerful. They seem to have a sincere concern about my dad’s well being. They are patient and kind. The management was very thorough and understanding when I visited. The food is restaurant-style excellent! My dad and I are both very pleased with our choice to have him live here. He told me the other day, “I’m pretty well cared for!” I’m so glad we both feel he is in a safe and happy home. I would recommend this place to all who have a parent/relative that means the world to you! They are in good hands at WellQuest of Granite Bay!"

"Everything has been great! All the staff from servers in the dining room to the RCAs who help my father daily not mention everybody in the offices. I have to say I recommend Eskaton to people who ask where my father is. Feels like home when I'm there. Thanks for all you do! "

"My husband will be moving into Oakmont of Westpark memory care. The whole atmosphere was very nice, and the people were very nice. We picked a room that he was happy with. I took him there on a tour after touring it myself and he liked it. The gardens are beautiful, and there are activities. I'm not sure how much my husband's going to participate because he has dementia. I brought other family members with us. There were four of us, and they treated us to lunch in their dining room. It was like eating in a 5-star restaurant. It was very nice. We had menus. We all had different things, and everyone was very pleased with their meals and with the service. We had a very nice waiter and like I said, it was like being in a very nice restaurant. It's a beautiful facility. They have a salon there. My husband needs a lot of care. He needs help with dressing and help with a lot of physical things and that's what's most important to me."

"I am very fortunate for the high level of care Friendly Care Home II provided to my Grandmother for 7 years. Safety and daily care were very important for my Grandmother who had dementia. The house is large and always clean. Flowers and seasonal decor are always on the dining table. Homemade food and friendly care givers. "

"I toured Blossom Vale Senior Living. I liked the actual studio apartment. It was very nice. It had fake wood floors, but they were beautiful. It had a great enclosed deck area looking out to trees and a garden. I only met some people, but they were very friendly, nice, and pleasant. It was clean. It has two living areas and a dining room. It's smaller but homey and comfortable. I think it would be really good for someone who needed a smaller atmosphere."

"My dad moved into Cogir of Stock Ranch Senior Living. We chose it because of the number of activities that they have; they have a lot of activities. The staff is very friendly and professional, and his apartment is very nice, it's renovated and very clean. It's a beautiful facility that's very clean with lots of space and it's very open. My dad says that the food is very good."

"We were very impressed with Winding Commons. My friend was very happy with it. She loved the friendliness of the tour person. She also loved how nice it was to meet the chef who came out and talked to her. She also liked the look of the apartment. She was really excited about it, but we're not sure if it will be the right place for her now. They showed us a one-bedroom, and she liked it very much. There were lots of storage areas. We saw the dining room, the outdoor areas, and the apartment. The dining area was very open, pretty, and had plenty of space. They had a courtyard and a water feature. It was very nice."

"Atria was an older facility but nice and I liked it. I didn’t eat with them but I looked at the dining area. It’s close to my house, convenient and on a great location. "

"I thought Revel Folsom was excellent. It was very, very clean and very modern. I liked the rooms. They seemed a little bit bigger than normal. They're very clean and very modern. The only thing I was confused with is they're on a point system for food. Most places serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while they're on a point system. You get so many points, and you can use the points for any time you want to eat. I was able to sample the food and it was excellent. They have a chef on staff and it's run more like a restaurant where you can order off a menu than some of the other places. The staff was very friendly. They have all kinds of activities. They have a pool so they have swimming activities and exercise around that. They also have all kinds of different classes. They have a library there so you can check out books and they have the normal activities that most places offer."

"The Landing at Carmichael is a nice facility. The people are warm and friendly. Natalie in particular, I believe her title is executive director, is very professional, engaging, charming, and creative in terms of finding solutions. In my case, I had too many pets and she came up with a cool solution, which was to see if other residents might want to adopt one. I found that very heartwarming. They seem to be dedicated to health and well-being. It's independent living. During the tour, I saw the facilities, the activities schedule, and their menu. I visited the dining room and the common areas, and those were all very nice. The menus looked appetizing and the common outdoor spaces were also absolutely beautiful. It was clean and they were doing renovations. The areas that are updated are very nicely updated. Some areas are undergoing renovations, but I wouldn't downgrade that because they're performing the renovations."

"wonderful care of a loved one for 3 years. They took good care of my family as we watched and waited for our family member to succumb to this disease. "
