Memory Care Communities in Salinas, CA

"Cottages of Carmel was a wonderful place for my mother to spend her final 3 years. The care and compassion starts at the top with Julie and Gina, and filter all the way down to the med techs, the dining personnel and even the cleaning staff. My mother enjoyed a warm and caring relationship with many of the staff members and had close friendships with other residents. The food was excellent and she enjoyed the group exercise classes and the daily walks and excursions. Beyond the outstanding facilities, the true caring nature of every person she encountered at Cottages make it a very special and unique place to call home. I am extremely grateful for the excellent care she received and highly recommend it."

"This is one of the best facilities! We moved our dad in here and his health and overall happiness has improved tremendously!! They always seem to have some sort of activity going on & Dad has taken a liking to being involved in those! Thank you to the staff for all you do! "

"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."

"My brother is currently in Merrill Gardens at Monterey. I have found them to be very responsive. It's a very uplifting atmosphere. They have lots of activities. The facility has amazingly 12-hour restaurant-style dining. So, they can go downstairs anywhere between 7 in the morning and 7 at night and eat. I've never had a bad meal, it's very good. They have happy hour on Thursdays where they have live music and entertainment, and they have a large activity room and a big screen TV where they watch movies twice a day. They have an exercise room with guided exercises for seniors. They go on excursions. They got a bus where they can take 15 or 20 people and they go to plays and they go to the grocery stores and out to eat lunch. It's just a very involved, beautiful complex. They've got five levels of care, which takes them from totally independent living right up to memory care - dementia and Alzheimer's. And so, you don't have to move. I was there for Thanksgiving dinner and that seriously was the best turkey I've ever had in my life. They do a wonderful, wonderful job. It's a new facility, it's like four or five years old. "

"Carmelo Park is pretty large, and they have a lot of clients. It seemed nice, and they gave me an excellent tour. The person there was very accommodating and gave me a very good tour. It's a good location and inside was very good, and they have a little area outside for people to sit. They have a large deck on one side of the facility so people can sit out there, so it's a nice place. They have a salon where the ladies can get their hair done, and I think they have an exercise room. They had a big room where people can watch TV. They had a nice dining area, and I met the chef. It's very impressive. "

"Bonjour! We have been so happy with our stay at Cypress Ridge thus far. It is hard enough to need medical care during these trying times, but they have gone above and beyond to make the stay remarkable. We especially appreciate the visitation offered, both indoor and outdoor. It makes us all feel so safe knowing the precautions being taken to keep everyone healthy but not preventing the needed in-person visits that allow us all to thrive. There are so many unique seating areas outdoors with comfortable chairs and privacy so we can have visits and take photos. Even the food here is good, its not Cannery Row good, but for a hospital setting they really know what they are doing with the restrictions needed for a healthy menu. We are so happy that we chose this facility based on the word of mouth and online presence, its out first time needing this level of care. I know we would not be heading back home to Pebble Beach without the short stay and therapy time here at Cypress Ridge first. Thank you all!"

"My mom is on a waiting list at Merrill Gardens at Gilroy. The cleanliness was fine. The rooms were clean and spacious. They offered a lot more activities there than they did at the other place. They were doing activities when we were there. The staff who gave the tour was great. She was very friendly and helpful. She answered our questions. She pointed out different things. She showed us the kitchen area, the dining area, and the rec area."

"Aegis of Aptos was gorgeous. It was like a 4-star hotel. The apartments were unfurnished but clean, bright, good-sized, and comfortable. The staff who assisted us with the tour was fantastic. She was thoughtful and she engaged us well. She paid attention to what we had to say. This was a large facility, I think there were about 70 residents. And as she walked around, she addressed every single resident by name. I saw the menu of what they're offering, and the food looked terrific. They had trips, music, and lots of games. There are outdoor seating areas for people to talk. All the residents seemed engaged and happy. "

"Sunshine Villa was a very nice building. The atmosphere was lovely, and it was an interesting location to have, it is on the hill, just by the ocean. Although they didn't have as much of a view of the ocean, they were right there sort of next to it. People who lived there could go out and come back. They had a lot of entertainment. They also had very nice rooms where you could sit and be quiet, or go watch TV, or listen to music or dance. They had nights of entertainment and things that you could do on your own and a nice schedule to know what was going on. They showed movies every week. I just saw a 1-bedroom apartment, but I was told that they had some apartments for couples. There was a nice garden to get from one to the next building. Some rooms just had a table or two or a couple of chairs where people could just sit and enjoy themselves and relax. The staff was excellent. They had all the information you needed and they were very pleasant."
