The Best Memory Care Communities in Shasta County, CA

"It's is an Alzheimer’s place with a good staff. The food was adequate; you can’t give the residents too much because they don’t eat a whole lot, but it was good, nutritious food. They gave out the medications. No matter what they’re doing, the staff was really on top of things and nice. They get involved with the music, and the people were singing the songs. It’s a good place, I think."

"We have found a place for my mom. She is staying comfortable at a place called Oakmont of Redding. What I like most about the community is that they have excellent staff support. They're very professional, and the accommodations are also very good. It's very clean. It's excellent. All the staff that I've encountered from the people working at the front desk to the people providing any type of service were excellent. I haven't eaten the food myself; but in talking to my mom, she said it's very good. They have a really nice dining facility, and they allow you to place orders for your food instead of just feeding you a particular item every day. They have a piano room, a library, and a nice gazebo sitting area inside a courtyard. They have a walking path around the exterior of the facility that's fenced in, where you have views of the Sacramento River."

"The Vistas was a nice facility. There's not a lot to look at out the windows, but we really like the facility. The rooms were nice, big, and clean. The people were out and busy playing dominoes and watching TV. We liked the staff, and it seemed like they would be able to provide. "

"Hilltop Springs Senior Living was a very nice facility. It's new and had lots of amenities for the folks that live there. They have a lot of stuff. They have day rooms where they can visit, play games, and do puzzles. They had a bowling alley, a golf room, and outside barbecues. It was also dog friendly. You could bring your dog and have them live with you. The staff was very helpful and showed us the whole place. The one thing I did like was that the dining area is open all day, so there was no specific breakfast, lunch, or dinner time. You could go be served at any time."

"My mother-in-law will be moving into Sierra Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care. The interaction with the aides there was very evident. I saw them peeking into the residents' doors and saying, "Are you okay? Do you need a little help?" They were checking on them. I saw the ease and happiness of the residents. We looked at two out of three of the buildings. In the other building, they seem to have people sitting down at dinner and talking to each other, which is what my mother-in-law needs. The staff was excellent and followed up with us several times. Their help and level of care are what we liked about them. They were very willing to accommodate my mother-in-law because she eats no pasta of any kind, and they were OK with that. They were in the middle of some renovations. It looked like a very pleasant place to live. It was certainly clean, and we didn't see any worn furniture. It was very nice."

"I have nothing bad to say about A Brand New Day. My loved one was under hospice care, they have a special area for the hospice patients.They were helping him get dressed, but his dementia was getting bad, so they did everything for him. There’s a nurse there, they checked his vitals every day, so that’s why they called hospice. They have games, they would get together and play, once a week they took everyone out for lunch to different restaurants by bus, and they have several TV rooms. He was in a shared room, although they also have private rooms. The staff was very helpful, very polite, and very nice."
