Memory Care Communities in Windsor, CA

"The Lodge at Paulin Creek is a pretty nice place. I visited this place for my wife because several senior care websites emailed me about it. I also knew about this facility because I had friends who had spent considerable time there. Their apartments are very nice depending on the size you want. I just looked at their regular one-bedroom apartments. With regards to the staff, I met with the manager and the people upfront in the main area and they were very easy to deal with. They have activities going on for their residents. I think there was a pianist in there at the time of my visit and there were quite a few people who were watching that performance. Food they serve looks very substantial. "

"My mother was at Healdsburg. Unfortunately, we weren't clear about her diagnosis at that point, so she was in assisted living, and it quickly became obvious that she needed memory care. And at that time, their memory care facility (which is adorable) was full. It's far away from me, but it's near my sister, so we moved her back closer to me. Their food was excellent. It's an older facility set in a very unique location. Inside, it had been nicely modernized. All the AC worked. It's nice inside. It felt really warm and welcoming. It is a smaller facility than some of the other facilities that I had seen. They have a lovely outdoor space that includes a garden and some goats and chickens, which appealed to my mother. They had activities every day. And the schedule was easily accessible to me so I could call my mother and find out what was going on. There was bingo, morning stretching, yoga classes, and memory games. What was different about Healdsburg Senior Living was that everybody knew their clients. I felt like the people who worked there were on a personal level with their client's needs and were able to advocate appropriately with families when things changed. My mother's needs changed while we were there, and they were so kind in the way that they expressed that my mother needed memory care. And I think one of the hardest things for a family member to hear when you're in assisted living is that your family needs more care. But the way they handled it was beautiful. The staff was caring, confident, and well-informed. We were getting good care."

"Brookdale Chanate was very nice and in a wooded area. The staff was friendly. They had a nice dining room and library. It seemed like they had a lot of different activities. The rooms were quite nice, good sized, and clean. They had music and all sorts of things. The staff was very nice. What I liked most about it was the feel of the place. It felt very homey, and we really enjoyed that aspect of it. "

"My mother is at Ivy Park at Santa Rosa. It's excellent. Her unit has a small refrigerator and a sink. There is a very large bathroom with an easy-access shower with a bench. Her room is light, bright, and spacious. The staff members have been fabulous. My mom is not very easy, and they have been amazing. The food is good. She likes everything she had. For activities, every day at 3:30, they have a happy hour or a social hour, and she's enjoyed that. She has been very difficult the first month, so she didn't do very much. She is just starting to get out. The place itself is beautiful and very clean. They're doing an excellent job."

"The Villas is excellent. We never had a problem. It's really nice, much better than places my mom was in previously. It's convenient for us and not too far away. The staff is really good, we know what’s going on. I haven’t eaten there but they have a list of everything. Mom has no problem eating the food. She has a shared room. She was in a huge shared room. She was okay with it but then they gave her her own room. I don't think she enjoyed that at all. I was surprised, I thought she wanted to be by herself. But she had a little attitude so she was back with someone else. "

"It has been over 10 years that I have been responsible this person. My friend is someone who really does not want to be taken care of. He has an extremely difficult personality to deal with. He has already been in a couple of different places that did not work out. We are extremely happy with the way he is being treated at Our Golden Years. They are compassionate, understanding, and very well trained for some difficult situations. This is a first for him to be happy with the accommodations, the food, and the other residents. I never thought I would hear that from him. I know you will not find any place better in Sonoma County!"

"My mother has been at Carriage House for two months now. It is a very nice accommodation. It is half a mile to my mother's church, which makes it convenient for us getting there and for the people from our church visiting her. The owner lady is wonderful. The staff members are very good. They're prompt and courteous. They stick to all the regulations that the State of California imposes upon them. We like it. It is nice. They play bingo every other week on Fridays. They take my mom for a walk every day. One of their caregivers goes with her outside the building. They have crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, and TV. They also have what they referred to as a library. Their rooms are all private rooms. My mom's room has a semi-private bathroom."

"Primrose offers memory care only -- all stages -- in assisted living. They also have an onsite adult day center. The staff is very good at caring for residents with dementia at all stages. They're very qualified, and the have a nurse of staff for medical assistance. It's a very good choice for memory care, but they have only six rooms, so they always have a waiting list. It's located in a safe, residential neighborhood, but it's a bit remote. The food is fair--nothing exceptional. And the activities are all geared to memory loss--all very appropriate. "

"I liked the people at Redwood Senior Living Santa Rosa. They might want to replace some of their furniture with newer furniture. They have floors that have been mopped a gazillion times and they are wearing out in a few places. If my mother didn't have macular degeneration and was able to see clearly, she'd want to be out of there after just one look, but it's a place that I would find acceptable, especially considering my mom's income and all. The room I saw had a nice window. The bed in there was kind of saggy in the middle, but she would have been bringing a rental bed wherever she went. It seemed like the residents were happy, and that's usually a sign to me that the staff is doing something right."

"My friend moved into Serenity Villa. It is run by very caring people. A couple owns it, and the staff is amazing. My friend is getting excellent care. It's more of a family atmosphere. They have a chef, and they have delicious meals. My friend likes the food very much. They have entertainment every day, a van to transport people for free, a beauty parlor, a library, a TV room, and a beautiful dining room. The facility is very clean."

"While in the area, we happened upon Clearwater Lodge. We had been visiting some other facilities around the region as options for our aunt. We were glad and impressed that we didn't need an appointment to take a tour of the facility. The staff was welcoming and seemed to really like their jobs. That's really important to us, since my aunt's family is scattered around the U.S. which means some of us we won't be able to visit as much as wed like to. The outside grounds were nicely kept, with plenty of seating areas. Residents are encouraged to walk around regularly as they desire and supervision is always available. The indoors were impressive, with a nice library area and a large room for other activities, like board games and computers. There are other areas where residents may read, sit with friends or just relax. The film collection looked interesting and they regularly go to local movie houses sometimes venturing to the city to see foreign and independent films, which are our aunt's favorites. The facility and staff are equipped to handle our aunts early Alzheimer's so that was a relief for us. Our aunt really enjoys getting out and their list of activities included everything from local shopping, beauty salon and entertainment trips to special events held at their facility and others. We liked the exercise room where they had yoga mats and machines. They also have scheduled classes for those who are interested. We happened to be there when they were offering snacks. The private living spaces featured beautiful nice windows. Each unit was fresh, airy and peaceful, with a calming, color-coordinated deÂŽcor and comfortable furnishings. The residents here looked very content in their living environment and were well cared for by kind and considerate staff. "
