Memory Care Communities in Salinas, CA

"I visited Paradise Villa. It was a smaller place, which I thought my dad would have liked. I had kind of a neutral feeling about it. When I walked in, there were people sitting around. The staff was excellent. The gal that I met with was fabulous, and I really liked her. The rooms were spacious and nice. They had a new section that they were remodeling, which was really nice. "

"I toured Twin Lakes Manor. It was just a small place, and I liked it. It was very clean. The residents looked cared for and content. The person who gave me the tour was very friendly and gave me a thorough tour. I liked the grounds. There's a great big back patio that's all enclosed, so it's very secure. Overall, I had a good impression. The staff would just smile as I walked by. I didn't see organized activities at the time, but I saw a woman getting her nails done. They don't have a bus taking people out to places. I believe it's licensed for 12, but they only had about 6 residents at the time. So, it's very quiet. It's just more of a residential house, but it's a quiet neighborhood on a dead-end street. So, it's secluded and safe."

"I have been living in Merrill Gardens at Monterey and I’m quite pleased with this place. I have two small dogs and I have an apartment on the ground floor, I have a door that leads outside so I can just take the dogs on walks. I have had no complaints about the food whatsoever, we have great food. They have various yoga classes, and they have various events in the main living room area a couple times a week. And there’s also a big mall up on a hill that you can walk to within 10 minutes, and it’s also close to other shopping places. I like it here very much, I can’t imagine being in any other place at this point. They offer transportation to the doctors’ three times a week. The only complaint I have is that I wish they would have more transportation for the residents to other places and events, since I have no car. The staff is very cordial and has always been responsive, pleasant to deal with and helpful. I have no problems with them, and they don’t seem to object to my dogs. There are some little dogs around here that are aggressive, and I wish they would help protect my dogs from there. I think they should have more definite guidelines on the dogs’ behavior and what sort of things they expect from people with animals."

"Village Green of Gilroy is a very large place, but my friend has a nice one-bedroom apartment, she was able to get some of her furniture moved in, they have very good food, and she is happy with that. They provided her with a watch that she just pushes a button and someone will come to assist her. That's when she fell and broke her pelvis and was in an acute hospital for several weeks. She didn't qualify for Medicare by two days and couldn't do anything about it, so she went back to the assisted living facility with additional assistance, and so far they seem to be doing very well with her. We spent a good amount of time getting things arranged for her, but it worked out, and that is the important thing. The reason why I am a little bit hesitant is because they did not tell us in advance about all of the extra charges, and they assured her that she would have transportation to appointments -- well, she has it, but she has to pay for it. There was some miscommunication in terms of getting things set up for her. There are several other things that are questionable, but overall it is an excellent place. The atmosphere of the assisted living facility is wonderful; there is no question. Their food preparation is excellent. She has a very nice apartment, it is a very nice place, and they have lots and lots of activities. "

"Aegis of Aptos is a very beautiful facility. It's like a big apartment complex almost. The quarters are wide, well-lit and very comfortable. It has an outside are that was completely fenced. There are a lot of places to sit in the garden. I was looking at the memory care unit and it was divided into two separate sections. They have a very good staff-to-patient ratio. They serve quite nutritious foods and they have a lot of options to choose from. It was really a great facility, however, it was just too expensive for us. "

"The main selling point of Sunshine Villa was that it’s the closest one to where we lived. The staff is wonderful, but we really didn’t get to know them until they moved in. The rooms are very expensive but very nice. The food is not so good. They have to sit in the same place every day to eat with the same people, and they don’t get to mingle in the dining room, which is the main point of socialization, so it’s a little awkward. They have a lot of music performances and different activities, like group activities and different bingo-like games. The music is too loud in the dining room, and it’s not necessarily soothing music. That was another complaint we had that we brought to the staff. If people want to talk, it’s just too loud and distracting in the dining area. They’re wonderful people. "
