Memory Care Communities in Atascadero, CA

"We visited The Oaks at Paso Robles, it's very modern and kind of fancy. There are no natural surroundings, they seem more artificial. During the tour, the staff was friendly and informative. They had everything that the other place I toured had, they had a restaurant, an activity room, and a theater. What I like least is that everything's spread out. It's a long building and the dining room is too spread out, depending on where the resident would live."

"Ingleside Assisted Living looked very nice and clean. Everybody was friendly. The person who assisted me there was really helpful, nice, and professional. They had a nice yard, the rooms were nice, and they had a large kitchen. There were a couple of residents watching TV in the group room."

"My mom lived at Paradise Valley Care for three years. I moved her there from a facility which had little interaction between staff and resident. Paradise Valley was completely different. Mom and I know all the caregivers by name. They are consistently helpful and compassionate. The med techs inform me of any change in Mom’s health. I have never visited when she was not dressed and clean; and I visit quite a lot. I would definitely recommend Paradise Valley to anyone who desires full and compassionate care for their loved one."

"My father has moved into Creston Village. He is transitioning into memory care. They didn't have a room for him, but he is in assisted living temporarily until he can move. It seems more open and more airy whereas in the other place, it felt like you're on a ship. Creston Village has more outdoor seating areas, a garden, and a patio. You can have your meal out there if you want. There's more outdoor stuff for my dad to do. My dad is not a game player and he doesn't like bingo and all that other fun stuff, so this is more his setting. His room looks great, it's beautiful, open, and airy, too. So far, so good. The staff members keep me abreast. They know that my father is new there, so he's having a few transitional stuff, and they let me know that he's doing good and he's safe, and I talk to him pretty much every day. Dining is easier. They have a different special every day, and then they have their set menu, so you can have whatever you want, that way you're not just getting the same meals all the time. It seems more balanced. They tell you what you're having and what type of nutrients are in it. "

"My wife is in The Village at Sydney Creek, and she'll be here two years in November. It's great, except they're too expensive. The staff is the best you can get. She's in a shared room, it's clean, and they keep everything clean. The food is good, I've eaten there, its filling; you get enough to eat, and it's made by hand. They've got activities every day, they've got crafts, music, and they've got a lot of things keeping them busy."
