Memory Care Communities in Sonoma, CA

"I toured Windsong of Sonoma. It was very nicely appointed. It was newly upgraded and it seemed like a very nice community. The people that I saw there were friendly. The rooms are quite spacious. They were newly painted and newly carpeted, and they looked very clean and nice, and very comfortable. During the tour, the staff were very nice and personable. The manager that we spoke to was very knowledgeable and had some good suggestions, and it seemed like the few that we were introduced to knew what they were doing. I liked the fact that they were all in the same type of uniforms and that sort of thing. It was very good."

"We settled on Nazareth Rose Garden of Napa for my dad, and we're moving him today. What I liked was the single floor. It wasn't a dual floor facility, it's all on one level, and the staff was very professional. They have group activities, but they don't force people to participate if they don't want to, the exercise things, music things, the standard stuff, nothing special or outside the parameters of any of the other places. They do have outside space. Each room has a sliding glass door that is monitored by the staff, in either a private or a shared suite, each one of them has access to go outside in the courtyard."

"Atria Tamalpais Creek have been very good and accommodating. The apartments were quite nice. It was all newly renovated in 2011, so it is a green building, and everything looks good. It is much brighter and cheerier than other places that we have seen. I have tried eating there, and the food was OK. The dining room setup is nice, and they have a separate bistro as well. They do scenic drives, they go shopping, and they go to museums. They have quite a few activities. At this point, there is nothing to suggest for improvement since we've only been there for a few weeks. We liked it, and we have a good experience. My parents are now living there. "

"Oakmont of Novato was one of the newest so everything is nice, clean, and well laid out. They're somewhat in the process of expanding some of the areas, but they've got them set up there and all the facilities in the assisted living area are all pretty new. The living spaces were compact but pretty efficient. The people that I talked to seemed very nice and cordial. I didn't have any problem with any of the staff. They seemed good."

"I was able to go to their Valentine's party and visit my aunt, and I was impressed with the sense of fun everyone was having. The staff really stood out to me because they seemed like they had good rapport with each other and enjoyed their jobs. The rooms are cozy but nice with new floors, furniture, new bathrooms. It sounded like they renovated the community recently. As far as amenities, I did notice a big deck with tables and chairs that looks out over the park and a planted patio off the main area. I had a very enjoyable time with family, highly recommended."

"I liked the location of Brookdale Chanate. I liked the staff. The people were very, very professional, kind, and compassionate. I was very, very impressed. The facilities were clean, and it was very quiet. At first, I was going to pick Brookdale Chanate because of the location, but I decided to go with the other place because it had more lighting and it was brighter. Brookdale Chanate is in amongst the redwoods, so it's darker, and the view out of the room was just a big redwood tree, but it was nice. I was impressed with the size and layout of the rooms, even the shared rooms. They were good-sized rooms."

"Brookdale Paulin Creek didn't work for me. The rooms were nice and big. The location was perfect, but it was too dark and dreary. The staff kept saying they offer a 25% discount with the free month in September. I just felt like it was too pushy, like a used car salesman, but she was very nice and very caring. The structure of the building is good. Cleanliness is good, too. They take good care of that place. It was quiet. The people were very helpful. It seems like an old motel or something. It's a pretty big facility."

"I'm very familiar with Brighton Gardens, which recently changed owners (it's now run by Emeritus). It's an excellent facility with three levels of care: skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory. It's located in central Santa Rosa, up on a hill with a beautiful view. Even the skilled nursing part of the facility"”the part I mostly see"”doesn't look institutional. It's homey and nice. The rooms come in a range of sizes (some singles, some doubles) and are light-filled and feel warm and inviting. The staff is great. They're loving and sweet--genuinely attached to the residents. And the new owners seem to have the same good standards of care. The food is good, too. The memory unit is especially good, with one of the best activity programs I've seen. It's one of Brighton Gardens' best selling points. They have a full program of activities and the residents also have the option of going on an outing in a bus. There's always music there. And all the staff members are engaging and loving. End of life care is very good"”so loving. They step up and really care for them through the whole process. The only downside is the cost. If one can afford it, it's a good choice."

"My Mom has been a resident of this community for a few years and I have been very happy with the care she has received. When reading the reviews on this site I was saddened to see a negative one and felt it was my duty to share my positive experience. My Mom started out in assisted living and absolutely loved it! She loves activities and the programming kept her very involved and happy. The Friday trips were a highlight of her week. I feel secure and confident that my mom is well taken care of and that the staff truly care about her. My mom's memory began to get worse and Villa Capri management approached me about moving her to memory care when there was availability. She was not able to do all the activities she enjoyed and in general was much more confused about life. I was nervous at first and not sure how she would do but it went so smoothly all my worrying was for nothing. Memory care has different programing for activities but it is great for my mom because it is on her level and she feels like she is successful and participating. The care staff in memory care work hard, but I can also see that so many of them enjoy what they are doing. The residents are comfortable and I know my mom fells secure in her surroundings which is what I want for her. She is still progressing in her memory loss but I know she loves where she is. Last week she played bean bag baseball and I have never seen her smile so big. Villa Capri is a wonderful place that has made a huge difference in my life and my mom's life. "

"It is modern and new. It's like a very nice motel. They have a lot of amenities. It was comfortable. They have a nice dining room, a social area where they have various activities, and a very nice theater in the lower level with a big screen and comfortable chairs. The place had fire doors that closed automatically when there was a fire alarm. The staff that I met seemed very organized and experienced. I did meet with one of the residents. She showed me her apartment, and she seemed very comfortable there. They have a morning and evening walking group."
