The Best Memory Care Communities in Sonoma County, CA

"I placed my stepmom at The Terraces Memory Care 3 1/2 years ago. Every time I've seen her, she is smiling, joking with the staff, and says that she's "perfect". The unit is always clean, the staff are always welcoming. The celebrations are planned to give people occasions of elegance and enjoyment. Since we were there, there have been two major fires and a pandemic. Our loved ones have been kept safe, and we have been kept updated. I cannot highly enough recommend The Terraces."

"I liked Clearwater at Sonoma Hills. It was lovely, clean, brand new, and well-appointed. It seemed to be well-staffed and very secure. I couldn't have been more impressed. Holly was the gal who helped me, and she was delightful, very informative, and gave me great information on things surrounding dementia and Alzheimer's. They had something for everyone, like a beauty salon, classrooms, game rooms, several restaurants, a movie room, and a workout room. One of the restaurants was open at any time. If a resident slept late or got hungry during the day, the food was available 24/7, which I thought was lovely."

"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."

"I liked MuirWoods Memory Care. It was excellent. It was just too far. If it had been closer, I would have picked them. Sean, the sales director, was so good at what he did. They were so helpful and kind. They gave me some cookies, and that almost sold me. It's beautiful, so clean, so quiet, and so professional. The size of the rooms was good. There was a courtyard, and the rooms go all around the courtyard on the perimeter. It's very convenient."

"My mother has lived here for several years. Her apartment is quite nice and the staff and caregivers are very loving and kind to her. She enjoys activities and they do a great job even though the past couple years have been more difficult with having to cut back some of the group outings and rides, they have still made my mother's life so much better than it would have been if she was home alone and isolated. The friendships and opportunities to enjoy good conversations with friends has helped keep her in good spirits. I would highly recommend Cogir of Napa Road to anyone who doesn't want to be lonely at home anymore."

"Healdsburg was great. I liked the fact that the people were honest. I also liked the cleanliness of the facility, the attention that was given to the residents, and that the people are caring and compassionate. The food is great. They also have a garden where they incorporate some it into their food program. They have chickens and goats so that my husband can look out the window and see the animals (which is wonderful because we're from a farm here)."

"Diana was the one we worked with us here and she was phenomenal and so helpful. She gave great insights on how to help mom in the best way. Their amenities were outstanding. They had two 5-star restaurants and then another nice restaurant. They had snacks out that people could come and get at any time. So it wasn't just three routine meals. They were open all the time with snacks and if you wanted something extra, you could get it. You could either have the food taken to your room, like room service, or you could go to the restaurant. They had a happy hour in their general area so it was just phenomenal. It was luxury resort living. Diana showed us two studios and a one-bedroom. The studios were very nice with had very different layouts that would work well for anybody. On the first one that we walked down, I noticed that the kitchenette was a little bit further from the bedroom and the living area, which in our instance was a little bit of a walk, but for a regular person, it was just right there. The next studio was more of an all-inclusive. It was very clean. They had one that looked onto the courtyard in the center with all of its fountains and flowers, while the other one was secluded, like a parking lot kind of view that looked over the tennis courts and things like that. The one-bedroom was very spacious and very nice. They had very short hallways, so there was not a ton of walking and it's soundproof. You could be in the hallway and not hear any of the other residents' televisions or anything. It was well done."

"The care my mom received was exceptional! She was only there a short time, but I could not have picked a more wonderful place for her to have her final days. Thank you for your extraordinary graciousness and kindness."

"I toured Atria Tamalpais Creek. I thought it was the best fit considering the activities and homey feel. It seemed like it was the best fit for my mother's personality. Her room is a typical studio with a small kitchenette. It has a high ceiling, a balcony with a view and trees, and a parking lot. The staff has been very friendly and helpful. We had lunch there. My mom was happy with that, it was not too fussy, and it's appropriate for where she's at right now."

"I went to The Inn on Villa Lane. They showed us some of the model apartments. I'm going to bring my friend for lunch next week. Then she can see what the food is like because that's one of her main criteria. I thought it was very nice. The staffing was good, and the services they offer were excellent. They take care of their meds and laundry. They have an alert system. If she falls or if she needs anything, she has a button that she can press to get help, even if it's just to walk down to the dining room. I think that's really important. There are staff there 24/7. It's easy to get around. My friend has a walker, so that's something that we always look for to make sure that the accessibility is good and the in and out is good. They have nice landscaping. There are areas outside that she could sit and enjoy the sunshine in the summer. The dining room is very pleasant and nicely laid out. I just thought it was really good. The menu looked really nice. There are a lot of choices, which I think is really important. I was really impressed. They seemed to be really prepared for the things that she's gonna need. It seemed really well thought out. The staff that is there have been there for a long time. They get a lot of training. They seemed very knowledgeable, which is important. They don't just hire people off the street. I thought it was really good. I hope that my friend does, too. The staff was very friendly and very willing to answer questions. They know what they're doing. They don't seem to have a lot of turnover. It tells you something important about the facility that the staff is maintained over a period of time. It was nice, clean, and bright. The hallways and everything is accessible. Everything is designed for seniors that need assistance. There were handrails, elevators, and all those kinds of things. It's quite a bit more expensive."

"My visit to Berkshire was excellent. They took me to the room and personally guided me through everything. They talked to me and opened it up for questions, and they were very professional. The rooms were very nice and adequate for what the need is. They had dinners, and they had parties outside. It was some kind of celebration going on, and it looks like they did it quite nicely. It is all great. "

"I went to see Oakmont of Novato. It was very nice, very modern, very clean and very new. I didn't get to interact with the staff, just with the director who took me on tour and she was very nice. The room I saw was very nice. I saw that the residents had just played a particular game but I wasn't there long enough to see any of the activities. I went to their memory care portion so the amenities are a little bit more limited. I didn't see the assisted living part of it, which I believe has all of those things. They have a patio area for the memory care people but I think they have a larger area for assisted living. I liked the director who toured me. She seemed to be very knowledgeable and very caring. I also saw the guest menu and it seemed fine. "

"I toured the Nazareth Rose Garden of Napa for my mom. We chose it because it's close to home. She's closer to her family. The director is a caring person. I liked the facility, it was intimate. It's not a really big facility. Something that my mom can grow older in. Their dining room is exceptional, the food preparation is exceptional, and the quality of food is exceptional."
