Memory Care Communities in El Dorado Hills, CA

"My brother moved to Ponte Palmero. Everything is well-maintained. Everything is clean. The staff is incredibly friendly. The amenities for the people that live there are very up-to-date with a nice little workout room. They have a pool. They have a hot tub. They have a lot of activities going on regularly. They support community involvement and people getting out and getting to know each other. They're just very well managed and well cared for facilities for all levels. The food is very good. The dining area is excellent. It's a nice facility. It's probably the nicest one that I've seen."

"Pine Grove Residential Home Care for the Elderly is a care house that has six residents in it. It is very clean and very nice. It's a bit farther from my house. The owner was very nice. She sat down with us and talked to us for as long as we needed to ask questions, and she answered every one of them. However, I don't think that is the environment for my mom. Even though they have activities, there are not as many activities as the other place has. The staff member there is a cardiovascular nurse. There is also always somebody there. It's more of an intimate kind of setting versus a big, institutionalized kind of place. Everybody there seemed to be happy. However, I think my mom would thrive better in a community where she could have more options for activities. It's a beautiful setting. They showed us all the rooms; they showed us around the whole home. They introduced us to the people, too, and it was very nice. She didn't have any rooms available at the time, and that was okay because we didn't know when my mother was going to get out of the facility that she's in now."

"Mom already moved to PLC 7125 Main. She is in the memory care. It's small, kind of like a house, and there are only three other residents there. It's not like a big corporation that owns it. It's a couple and the husband's sister. So, they're more flexible and more personable. They get three meals a day and since my mom is extra hungry, she gets snacks. I have tried the meals and it was excellent. It is all home cooked. Some of it is frozen, but that's just kind of like how you would have it at your home (the things that you purchase that are frozen). They are not like a big corporation where they have a giant kitchen staff and they're ordering from kitchen supply places and the food is frozen and bad, they cook everything from scratch. They are more personal. They have a back deck that they go out on sometimes to have popsicles or to watch the ducks. They said they have a trail that goes back to the property and there's a vineyard and stuff, but they haven't been able to do anything like that since it's been so hot."

"Country House is a brand new facility. It is really nice. They are all single rooms with single baths, no shared baths. Upstairs are the memory care patients, and down below are those who are still basically functioning, so they are not all lumped together like some facilities. It was excellent. The chef even came out and introduced himself. He was talking to all the residents after they had their meals; he went and talked to each one. It was a real friendly and open atmosphere. They were playing Bingo, and the other day when I talked to my mother, she said that they took her out to an art studio, and they had Hawaiian dancers come and perform for them the other day."

"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 visited my friend at Sunrise of Fair Oaks and I had lunch in the dining hall with her. I liked that it smelled nice. The decorations and the furnishings were nice. Most of all, she really liked it. The staff was very friendly. We got to meet a lot of people, and they stopped to take time to talk to us. I liked that there was a choice for the food. The facility appeared very clean. It was very beautiful. It had a nice setting and nice landscaping with the trees, which I liked. There were lots of activities to choose from. They had exercises, bingo, movies, and puzzles. They had a library. They also had excursions where they could go do things away from the facility. I would recommend it because my friend likes it there, and to me, the biggest referral is when a resident says they like it."

"All Seasons is everything one could want for their loved one. The facility feels like home and the staff are like friends of the family. There are no words to express the gratitude I have for the care provided to my father. I trusted them to do their best, and they did and kept me informed throughout it all."

"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."

"My tour experience at Almond Heights Senior Living was nice. The place was nice and clean, but I would say they were average. The staff was great. We had a meal there and it was fine. It was like Applebee's. It was normal, but the dining area was nice. This facility would work fine for my parents, but it was too far away from us, and that's not the facility's problem."

"My friend moved to WellQuest of Granite Bay. We chose it because of the amenities and the newness of the place. It's only 2 or 3 years old. Her apartment is spacious for a studio. My friend shared with us that she likes the food. The facility is very clean. The staff is very efficient from the moving coordinator to the marketing director. Their base rate was good. We were pleased with it."

"I recently moved my mom into assisted living at Oakmont and am so grateful to the loving staff and administration who has helped us through this difficult time. My mom is struggling at home very independent but needing a little help now most likely more down the road. My family and I have the peace of mind knowing mom is well cared for, safe and actually making new friends and eating healthy delicious food! Thank you Oakmont team so very much"

"The Sunrise of Rocklin was a very nice facility. The people we met were very friendly and thorough in their explanations of things. We didn't have a whole lot of interaction with staff other than the office staff who gave us a tour of the part of the facility that they thought we needed, which was memory care for my wife. I would be staying in an apartment with her. We talked to one nurse in the memory care unit who was very nice and answered our questions. The lady who did the tour for us was excellent. She was a salesperson, so we knew she was trying to sell the facility, but I thought she was very good. The rooms that they showed us were very nice, one was even furnished. We would naturally be moving our own furniture into one if we had chosen them. I think we would be very happy there considering the help that my wife is going to need in the very near future with her dementia. They had a beautiful outdoor courtyard area with tables and lounge chairs. Some of it had a cover over it because it gets really hot where we're at in the summertime. That was quite nice. If you were ambulatory and had a car, they also had an area for you to park, so in my case, I would be able to come and go if I needed to. The lobby in the main area of the dining room was quite beautiful. You order off of a menu, but I didn't see a menu. They said they could cook for people with diabetes and people with Crohn's disease, which I happen to have both of. It would be a place where we can be very comfortable when the time comes. We just don't need it right now."

"My mother lived there for 2 1/2 years before she passed away. They treated her and our entire family as their own. Wonderful people. Very clean and beautiful environment."

"We toured Vista Roseville Senior Living. It was very nice. The staff was helpful. The one thing we didn't care about was the music they played all the time. We felt that wasn't something my sister-in-law would care for. It wasn't very relaxing. It was upbeat. Maybe they don't have that all the time, but that music going was a little intrusive. The apartments were very nice and well taken care of. The accommodations there for the food and everything looked very nice."
