Independent Living Communities in Turlock, CA

"Samaritan Village is a very beautiful community. They were very, very helpful, very polite, and very friendly. They have lots to offer for somebody with my dad's care and needs. It's very clean, very uplifting, and very encouraging. We talked to some of the seniors there, and some of them have only been there for two weeks, and they were very happy. They never experienced anything like this. The people are just very outgoing. If I had to rate it a ten out of a ten, I'd give it a ten. They have a five-star restaurant there open to the public. They offer their clients 45 meals free a month. The family members can come and stay up to two weeks with the family member that's there. They have a place where the family member can do puzzles and read books, and they have theaters. They have just so much to offer for the family member that goes there. The rooms are brand new. The buildings are kept. They have an exercise room. The bathroom is equipped for handicapped, and it's wheelchair accessible. It has its own kitchen facility and a front room. The only thing that they didn't have is it's not furnished. You furnish it the way you want it to be furnished. They have someone come in and help clean every so often. It's very, very nice. It's like an apartment, almost like a hotel, but better. It's like a five-star hotel. It's just beautiful. All you see are happy elderly people, and they're very friendly, and they just seemed very content. When you go in there, you don't see a bunch of grouchy people in there."

"I went for my dad. It just seemed very homey. And I've never had to look at anything like that before. They made it very comfortable, and just seeing the other residents there, it wasn't like the horror stories I've heard before about putting somebody in a home. So it made me very comfortable with the information. They had answers for everything. And there's so much for them to do there. I had two people on the tour, and they're both wonderful. The facility is very clean, not like you're in a hospital setting or apartment where nobody knows each other."

"My parents are residents of The Park at Modesto. They have lovely care there. It's a very nice place; very clean. Everybody's very friendly. The food is good. Everybody's cared for well. I like the place. I just wish it was closer to me. My parents are in a one-bedroom. It has a full kitchen. The bathroom is very well-fitted for anybody with disabilities. The facility is just good. It has a grand piano that my mom could play and it's a nice place. The staff was very good, professional, kind, and loving. The food is very good. They change it up quite often and you can always order or request it if you don't want something on the menu."

"My mother is at Oak Haven Senior Apartments. I enjoy their apartment building, so she has neighbors all within the same kind of age group as her. They have donuts every Wednesday morning. Usually once a month, they have a potluck downstairs so the seniors can gather. There's a walking path all around, and right across the parking lot, (she doesn't have to go out into the road or anything else) is a senior center that the City of Oakdale runs. The veterans feed them lunch, Monday through Friday. They also have activities all day long, Monday through Friday, like singing, art, and exercise. Those are the things I enjoy about it. They also have an emergency pull string, so that if you have an emergency, 911 is called instantly and comes to your apartment. The thing I don't like is ever since COVID, they've shut down the office and the only way you can contact them is through the phone. I give the staff a 2 because the office is closed, and the seniors could no longer go up to the office and talk to people. You have to call and leave a message and they'll call you back. I find that unacceptable. There is a lot of activities, but the senior center doesn't do it, it's the City of Oakdale that does it. They do a few things."

"Escalon Heritage Homes was in a small town, which was out of the country. It was more open and they had duplexes, which were connected instead of three or four apartments together. They had one bedroom apartments as well as studios. I would have my own private front yard and it was close to the Senior Citizen's office, which was across the street. There was also a park nearby where I could take my grandchildren to play. They had great staff. There was an area to play bingo, a reading room and you could have your own pet. There was also a yard keeper to clean the yard. The residents cooked their own food. I liked the place a lot. "
