Memory Care Communities in Modesto, CA

"We toured Cogir of Manteca Senior Living. Everyone was very nice. The food was very good. The chef is very nice. It's not plain food. It's five-star food. The facilities are immaculate. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. The rooms are good size. The price is good. Their agenda for the seniors is good to keep them busy, which is what I like. They try to get the seniors out once a week, they said, on a little bus trip, so can't beat that. It was a very nice dinner. We had a lot of different choices, not just a menu of what they had. They also had food available if you didn't care for some of the stuff on the dinner menu. You could have other things, so I chose that, and my sister did the same thing. The staff was informative and took their time. They didn't rush us through. I didn't feel they had a tour of 20 minutes or 30 minutes. We just walked around, they asked questions, and I asked questions. They showed me the rooms that they have and their situations."

"We toured The Commons at Union Ranch. They were very clean and welcoming and had an open space for gathering. There was a courtyard in the memory care area where the patients could go and they could do gardening if they wanted to. It was just kind of an open space, but it was still very secure. Everybody was knowledgeable even the janitors who work in memory care are trained to help redirect patients if they need assistance."

"Brookdale Tracy looked like a very nice community, very clean, and had nice rooms. I was impressed. I liked the layout of the building. They had a very nice courtyard. It was spacious and well-planned out. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They provide meals."

"Oakmont of Brookside was nice. The people there were nice. The facilities were extremely nice. The rooms were small, but I guess they're nice for a single person. It's really clean. It's an extremely upscale area. You pretty much have to have money to live there. I went to visit for independent living care, but they also have an assisted living care, memory care, and a lot of activities as well. They have invited us back, just to visit for activities. They're very friendly. If I had to put my dad somewhere, I would put him there. If I had to go somewhere, I would want to go there. They have game nights and dancing, You can get your haircut. My dad is a retired chef, and they even offered him to be able to cook for himself and be in the kitchen with the chef if he wanted to. They're so accommodating. I was very impressed."

"My husband moved into Summerfield Memory Care of Stockton. It's a very caring group of people. He is happy there. They care for the people. They're patient. They understand that there are gonna be issues with them asking the same questions over and over again. They meet the needs of the residents. The staff enjoy the residents there. They call each of them by name. They understand what each of the residents enjoys. They communicate with them on their own level. They don't ever talk down to them. The food is good, and it's presented nicely, and it varies. The facility is perfect for people with memory issues. They have plenty of space, and the areas are open so that each can wander about the facility and be safe. They don't have to feel like they're closed all the time. There are doors, and all the doors are open to them, and that's nice. They just had a sock hop a couple of days ago, and that was just so much fun for them, and most of them participated in it and enjoyed it. They bring in music, and the residents can sing a lot of those songs. They make it at their level. The activities are very appropriate. I completely trust them. I'm very comfortable with dropping him off there. I didn't think I would feel that way."

"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."

"I had no idea what expect after my foot amputation but Garden City was an incredible experience. The facility was very nice. Staff were encouraging, pleasant and knowledgeable. I would recommend this skilled nursing facility to anyone without any hesitation."

"My dad has been in this facility for a year. He has a shared room with a roommate. His roommate is so nice and my dad and him get along good. I love my dad being here. It was hard to make the decision but once I did and got him in there he has done so much better. The staff treat me and my dad like family. I actually leave from visiting him in a good mood. I’m t was a hard decision and I was scared but thank goodness I found Orangeburg memory care. I would refer anyone here."

"We’re very happy with Stacie’s Chalet. Our impression of the place has been very favorable all the way from the administration down. My mom loves it there. She’s had a great time. The atmosphere is very nice. The help she receives is tremendous, and the staff has a great attitude. I can’t think of one person on the staff that we’ve had an issue with, and my sisters and I are there all of the time. The rooms are very nice. We’re in the process of redecorating one right now because my mom just moved into a bigger room. They give you a freedom to decorate your room however you want. I’ve eaten there several times, and the food is delicious and not like hospital food; it’s like a restaurant. They have a full range of activities like arts and crafts classes, bingo, and trivial pursuit. They had everyone dress in costumes for Halloween. The Religious services there are very nice. Their activity director is very caring. They have a courtyard with patio furniture and umbrellas, so the residents can sit outside. "

"HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! My sister was placed there after "acting goofy in public" in Marin, WHERE WE LIVE, about 3 hours away by car! She was involuntarily kept there, as if being punished with a jail sentence - eventhough obviously doing very well and very coherent. She was allowed passes to go to church but only 3 days a week. We expected her back, waiting patiently. It was difficult to contact her by phone, usually staff refused to conect, and she was not allowed to call us, because "it's long distance." Then one day 12/4/12 we get a call saying she died, after being hospitalized in a nearby hospital since 11/15/12! When asked WHY they didn't tell us she was hospitalized, they said "WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY CARED(!)(?) We are ENRAGED AND TOTALLY DISGUSTED! "

"My mother-in-law is in Walnut Grove. The staff has been very good. We see them in action with several other residents, and they are very good. They treat them respectfully, and they do not raise their voice. Before she moves in, the room had carpeting; now it has wood flooring, and it is very clean. She is able to take her own furniture in and make it look like her own place. They clean the place and straighten it up. They do a very good job. They have a room that they play bingo in and watch TV. They have exercise with a large ball. They get the people out everyday to do something. "

"Bethel Retirement Community was very nice and looks like a high-end assisted living place. It's a little too extensive, but they kept it nice and clean. Everybody walking around there knows each other. Even the lady in the apartment that we went to look at knew everybody who was walking down the hallway. I wonder how she remembers when they had maybe a hundred people there, but it was very nice. One of the ladies who was in the apartment let us come in and take a look, and it was very spacious. I'm sure it was probably the biggest one, because she had a queen bed in the bedroom. She also had a refrigerator and no stove, just a microwave. The person who gave the tour was very nice. They also asked us to come back and have lunch there."

"My husband is at Valley Comfort. It is clean and they seemed to interact with the residents and not just let them sit in a corner and deteriorate. All the people are friendly in the way they talk to the residents. They were caring and understanding instead of just telling them "Go in the other room." They hold their hand and take them back to where they're supposed to be if they wander off somewhere and get lost. Out of all the places that I went and visited, Valley Comfort was the cleanest and most friendly place. The staff had a lot of responsibility and a lot of work to do and they seemed to carry it out pretty well. Their routine was good. They checked in all the residents. They have a house cleaning staff. They have the special people there that went around and just made sure that the residents are comfortable, and so forth and so on. The food looks pretty good but like all types of establishment food, they can't season it very much. Most of their food is blended stuff or soup-type meals. I think it's because of the dementia part of the establishment, that's why they can't serve a lot of solid food because they might not swallow or chew well enough. It does not have a lot of taste but it looks good. The facility is very clean, very neat, and very organized. At Christmas time, it was very nice. They would gather all the residents in their common room and they would have sing-alongs and parades to entertain the visitors. They seemed to enjoy it."
