Memory Care Communities in Vallejo, CA

"My mother chose this community. I visited her there, and it was very nice and very clean. They have quite a few activities on the board. They have outings and bingo. It looks nice. "

"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."

"Chateau III is new about 2 years old. It's a very nice building, and it's beautifully appointed. The dining room was very nice. We did sample the food as they asked us to stay for lunch, and it was very good. The wait staff was very attentive, and the staff was very nice too. "

"I went to tour and they had a model one-bedroom that I can only use one word to describe, it was stunning. It was beautiful. It was like the apartment you always wanted to live in. It looks like it wasn't a senior living home. When you pay $30,000 to get in there, they've got something going on, more than the usual place. And it was just lovely. It was lovely, but it was very expensive. The guy who took care of the tour was delightful. He was great. He was very nice. He was there and spent the time and we looked at several studios. We looked at them because I could manage the studio there. The food was fantastic. They had a chef, not a cook. They had 2 or 3 menus and 2 or 3 dining rooms. It was pretty fancy. They had a gym that was geared for old folks. And they had a guy that was there doing exercises every day. This guy would work with you and give you a special. I thought that was amazing. And then they have a walk-in clinic to help you with things when you can't get to the doctor. And I thought that was good, too. They had a nice outdoor area, and a place where you could sit on chairs. It was shaded and it was really beautiful. And then they had 2 or 3 dining rooms. One of them had a bar. They have happy hour every night. So, there are more amenities with the more money you spend. We had lunch there. They had a chef on hand and he knew what he was doing. I had a gourmet salad with grilled peaches and it was just lovely. The food was lovely."

"Our experience at Carlton Senior Living Poets Corner is pretty good. My husband is there, and he's happy. He's in a private room, and it's a decent-sized room for a single room. It's OK, and it's a small bedroom. The staff seem very knowledgeable. The temperature in the dining area is pretty warm, so it's a little uncomfortable. Security seems good, and the price seems very fair. Location is about 20 minutes, and it's quite convenient. They have television, movies and such, and they have different games like vocabulary and number games. "

"My mother will move into The Kensington. The staff was professional and kind. They were great. It's a beautiful facility. My husband said the food was very good."

"My friend lived at Belmont Village Albany assisted living for three years before moving to their memory care area for the past year. For a long time she took advantage of all the activities on the independent side, but slowly her memory grew worse and her anxiety became inconsolable. She would call me and other friends multiple times per day in a panic and forget she had called. She became resistant to care and paranoid that people were playing tricks on her. It became clear that she was not thriving in her social group and needed more than assistance with showers and housekeeping. Her son agreed to move her to memory care and almost immediately she began to relax. There she has been able to participate in activities again and the staff is very patient. Her mood improved unbelievably and it was a big relief to me to see her smiling and laughing again. Her dementia is still progressing but she is so well adjusted in her routine. I don't know how they got her to do it but I am very grateful. "

"Walnut Creek Care Home seemed nice. The staff was nice, too. My sister will have her own room with a wall and a sliding door to the outside. It's small, but it's a nice room and they allow cats. They only have six beds, so they don't have a lot of activities. Cleanliness seemed OK."

"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."

"Drake Terrace was a very nice place. It would probably be our second choice for the waiting list. It is a little farther from the area we wanted to be in, but it is very nice. We like this place. They have a small coffee area/library, an exercise room, and a cafeteria. The dining area looked very nice. The whole place seemed very nice. Everybody was very friendly. It was very welcoming. They had nice apartments too."

"It is an old place. What was important to me was having so many rooms for the people who stay there to congregate together. I saw groups of people sitting together and enjoying themselves, conversing, and being together. There are nature places. There were a lot of outdoor spots where people could sit and be in nature; that is extremely important to me. They have planned activities. They also have a regular happy hour where they get together, and some people play the piano. They also have a van that takes people to appointments. I like the fact that they have a locked gate to keep people in there who might wander off a little bit. It was important to me, too. The staff who gave me the tour was very good. She was new on the job, and she did seek out information that she wasn't quite sure of with another worker who had been there longer. She showed me the accommodations for both independent and assisted living. The dining area looked nice and airy. The other thing that was important to me is the natural light inside the building. It had good light. I wasn't crazy about the food, but I like the idea of fixing my own food. I would do that if I were independent. I don't eat American food all that much (I mean, the standard stuff); I like a mixture of stuff. Another thing I want to point out is the balance of ethnic groups there. There are a lot of African Americans, Asians, and Caucasians. I like a mix of people and cultures. I thought the place was very clean."

"I had my husband in Vacaville Memory Care. I could visit him, but I couldn't stay with him. There were four rooms in each building. My husband had his own room, which was nice. They were very nice, very compassionate, and very patient. Unfortunately, my husband was very belligerent. I took him out because he just wasn't happy. It had nothing to do with the people or the food. They were just good people. Good people. Good community. The workers in the little houses themselves were just awesome. I just loved them to death. Each building had a kitchen. They have a room where they could have families come in and all sit together and have dinner. In the big room, they have nice furniture to sit in to watch TV. It was a nice and very clean place. They also have a beautiful courtyard for them to go out to. I had so many free meals there, and they were good. They had their regular meals. I noticed that for people who were a little bit more incapacitated, they softened the food for them. They also feed some of the people who needed to be fed. I liked them. They had singers coming in. They had puzzles, and they would come in and help you with things like that. The little girl who coordinated the activities was so sweet. I can't remember them because my husband never participated, but I know they had different activities for them. Their food was not restaurant-type, but they had a variety. If you didn't want something, you could ask for something else. Breakfast, lunch, and supper were always good. They had hamburgers, and I would like to go on a hamburger night. They had a lot of different things. One of the reasons I had to take my husband out was that I just couldn't afford it. It had nothing to do with the facility because I'm sure it was well spent; I just couldn't spend that much. I was paying like a little over $7000 a month, and it was a little too much for us, and knowing that he didn't want to be there, I just brought him home and have home health. They each had their own room. They have hospital beds, but you could bring whatever you wanted there. I hung his pictures on his wall, and they hooked up a TV for him that had several channels. It was just a nice and wonderful place to be if you wanted to be there."

"Elders Inn was very nice. We enjoyed being able to sit out in the gardens. I found the staff very friendly and very welcoming. I spent a lot of time visiting with my sister at the facility. We also took her out, and they were very accommodating. Overall, it was a great experience. I had lunch several times with her, and the food was very good. They had musicians come in once a week -- a guitarist and a saxophone player. They provided my sister with a headphone and a shuffle to listen to music in her room. They obviously recognized music is important to an Alzheimer's patient. She also went to arts, and people were doing different kinds of art activities there. It was a very suitable place. My nephew picked it out for his mother, and it's a good choice. There's a very nice hotel right across the street, and it's very convenient. "
