Memory Care Communities in Vallejo, CA

"I have an application to Carlton Senior Living Pleasant Hill. I saw the assisted living, and it was a very good experience. They're so friendly, I like the layout of the apartment, all the services, the laundry, and the meals in the rooms. They have very nice one-bedroom apartments. The people I saw in the hallways seemed happy."

"The staff was incredibly kind from the moment we walked in. We felt welcome and supported.The facility was clean and well-maintained and had a warm home like atmosphere."

"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."

"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 Park of Lafayette. It's a very attractive and well-maintained facility. It looked very colorful and was not as tightly laid out as other facilities. It was spread out and easy to tour. It's a very warm environment. They have a beauty salon, haircutting facilities, and a small exercise facility. It was not a very large area, but sometimes, they brought in assistance to help people work out in the facility if they wished. The staff was very nice, and they took their time and told me how everything was handled, including whether you could do your laundry yourself or have it done for you and how often the housekeeping came, so that was all explained to me. It was a clean place, and there was a nice dining area as well. They also have a small dining area you could bring your family to if you want to invite them."

"Carlton Senior Living Downtown Pleasant Hill is the place that I want to send my loved one. My wife is there and they're just really professional. It's a place that gives you warmth. There's no odor or any urine smell or anything, and they have separate dining rooms for memory care. So, it's a nice place to go. The staff is excellent and very caring people. They have a lot of things to do, like bingo, music, entertainers that come in, painting, little handicrafts, and different things similar to that. Both the food and their dining area were excellent, and they have waitresses and waiters that clean up for you. If you have trouble eating in memory care, they have people that assist you. They're also very persnickety about who comes in. You need your COVID shot and your mask. So, they just take good care of them."

"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."

"My husband seems to have settled a little bit now at The Carlton. They have gone through a lot with him; it has not been easy. I chose this community because my husband is pretty young at 70 years old and has advanced Alzheimer's. He is a difficult case because he gets combative and aggressive. I needed to find a place that is comfortable and could handle that type of behavior. Carlton Senior Living Poets Corner is bigger, clean, and has quite a bit of space for my husband to explore and move around. They have a nice outdoor area, which was also important to me because he enjoys going outside. Carlton has several men closer in age to my husband and in a similar kind of situation. I felt he could make some friends he could watch basketball or football with. They said, 'We don't kick people out. We are professional." I feel their employees are professional, kind, and seem to really care. With their activities, they have lots of things going on and try to make it a pleasant, fun place to be."

"The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill seemed a little bigger, which was good. I liked that. The location is very nice. It's an extension of where the old hospital was and the building itself, the structure, is very nice and very, very well located. It's essentially almost across the street from where we live. They had a snack bar and there was a kind of a little cafe, not a big restaurant, with few tables and a coffee bar. I went into a couple of different rooms that were slightly different sizes, but they seemed to be a little larger and a little more homelike rather than a studio or hotel. Jeanette was excellent."

"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."

"We toured The Kensington, which we are quite pleased with. Everybody was very nice to us. The people who run the units have all been just super. We're physically pretty mobile, we still drive, and we still go to all of our doctor's appointments and do our own shopping. We're just trying to downsize a little bit and get away from many responsibilities of home maintenance and that type of thing, so independent living is what we're looking for right now. The Kensington is very good. We like the feeling of the place, and we like the amenities that they provided. It's been several months since we went out to visit it, and I have an appointment in a couple of weeks to go back and revisit. The staff members were very polite. They're very attentive to the people that they have. We were very impressed with the fact that they seemed to know the names of everybody who lives there. They call them by name when we pass them in the hallway. We met with some people in the units, and they gave good reviews. They've all said that they enjoy being there. We have no major negatives other than the gut feeling that this doesn't seem like a good fit for us. We had lunch with one of the people who lives there, and he was very informative and very polite. Everything was fine. The facilities were all very nice."

"We toured Belmont Village Albany. They had a lot of activities. We liked the programs that they had. We liked that they also had medical staff 24/7. Their place was very light and bright. They have multiple areas for eating and they’re very modern. We had cookies. They just came out for their afternoon snacks and they were really good chocolate cookies."

"I toured Ivy Park at Walnut Creek, and it's clean. The staff was friendly, and I liked the programs that engaged the residents. I can't find anything negative about the place. When I signed up for a tour and went at the appointed time, I saw my name in front of the entrance. I was impressed, and it's very welcoming."
