The Best Nursing Home Communities in Stanislaus County, CA

"The rooms are fairly large and adequate. The food: my wife had special food needs and alergies which were promptly handled by the staff. She needed her food pureed due to stomach issues and the staff complied. Wonderful experience overall and a special shout out to the Physical Therapists who did a bang up job! Also, Almond Vista went beyondexpectations in transitioning from there back to home. Our experience was of an excellant professional operation and I cannot say enough goodthings about Almond Vista! Also, after leaving for home, their follow-up procedure was welcome - they wanted to see how wife was doing - much appreciated."

"My wife was at English Oaks, and she was there for two weeks. It's a professional hospital where the nurses take care of the patients. They give them baths, and they give them medications. The rooms were very nice and very clean, and the food was OK. The nurses were well dressed and very cordial. Our relatives who are there right now have been there for years, and I am very satisfied with their care there. I was impressed with the nurses that took care of my wife and when she needed care, they were there right on the spot. "

"Vintage Faire seemed to work out pretty well for her before she passed away. My cousin told me that my aunt was happy, and they seemed to give very good care. The dining room was nice and roomy. The place seemed very clean and well-kept, and the staff was very nice. "

"The facility smelled clean, but appeared understaffed. Some elderly were unassisted as they roamed the halls, apparently unaware of their surroundings. My grandma's roommate, in her state of dimentia, would intrude on our conversations as often as she felt pleased to from behind her curtain. The nurses were fairly nice while I visited, but I didn't feel that they were as attentive to the patients as they could have been. I also felt that some of their kindness was afforded on account of our visit. My grandma felt very lonely and often complained about it. On the other hand my grandma said the food was very good and I think because she herself used to be a certified nursing assistant she probably keeps a very favorable rapport in the first place. Overall the facility could use brighter lights in the halls, and the warmth of the staff could use some added assurance for some of the elderly that have been placed there. "

"Oakdale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center seemed adequate and pretty clean, but I wasn't as impressed with it as the other facilities I've seen in the past. The staff seemed friendly and helpful, but it wasn't real homey."

"I've been here twice and had a great experience. The staff was kind and friendly. They have great activities for the patients. I had such a a great time, that I have come back to volunteer a couple days a week. I would definitely recommend this place"

"Covenant Village of Turlock includes independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing. It's a comprehensive and fairly large facility. They had a variety of sizes of independent living facilities, so you have a lot to choose from there. Some are apartment-type buildings and some are standalone cottages. They have trips, exercises led by people, exercise rooms with equipment, cards, dances, and a wood shop. It's pretty amazing. There's a continuum of care, and they're the best in that way. Nobody else that we found offers skilled nursing and they do. They have actual medical staff on-site. The staff member is very professional, knows what she's doing and does it very well. Meals are buffet-style. If the cost was lower, there would be no question; we would choose Covenant. However, they require a large buy-in. You put a lot of money down to go there, then you pay a rent. The rent is not as high as other places, but the buy-in is very large."

"I'm sorry it has taken me so long to write this review. It has been a year since my Mother passed to her Heavenly home, but I want to write this regardless to maybe encourage others that need these services to consider Bethany in Ripon. My experience working with them started on the basis of home health services. My mother needed assistance with basic living needs, even though she was very reluctant to admit it. I reached out to Bethany and both Bonnie and Pam were very professional and understanding as to the situation. I am an only child and live several hundred miles from Ripon, and as time went on, I was unable to provide the level of care she needed. They came to her home and counseled her as to the services they could provide. When I was not able to be be there in person, they allowed me to participate by phone. We worked through a customized plan to meet her needs, allowing us to make changes as we went along. The level of care they provided was stellar! The people actually providing the services were excellent. Bethany employs a very positive, but strict code of conduct. When it came time to utilize skilled nursing, Bethany was very helpful in working through that transition. It was particularly challenging as this was during the prime of the covid 19 crisis. If you think that is an easy process, especially dealing with medicare and insurance companies, you are very mistaken. Cindy oversees the entire organization, and I had many conversations with her and her team of absolute professionals. They are caring, and willing to work with reasonable specific needs. They are just really good people caring for your loved ones as a ministry of service. I can't thank them enough for the care and help they gave my mother and our family all the way up to her passing. If you have a loved one that is needing assisted health services, all the way from basic home health assistance to skilled nursing services, I can attest they are the best I've seen or heard of, based on other reviews of other facilities. As I said above, they treat this a a ministry of service, rather than just a job. My family was very blessed to have them assist us during the last few months of my mother's life on earth."

"My husband is in Elness Convalescent Hospital. The rooms to me are brighter. I think it gives the patients a more positive outlook. The hallways are wide enough for the wheelchairs and the nursing staff and visitors to negotiate without about having to bump each other. The nurses were wonderful. They are in and out of there all the time and if he is sleeping, they just make sure that he is sleeping comfortably. It seems like they are doing it more on a regular basis. The food and the presentation of the food are better. "

"My husband has been at St Jude Care Center. It was not a good place. The quality of care and the response time weren’t good. They always seemed to be short handed and the turnover of the staff seemed to be ongoing. They need to be full staffed. These people need constant care, and I don’t think you should cheat people out of what they deserve or what usually Medicare is paying for. The cleanliness wasn’t there, and it just didn’t feel right. I wouldn’t recommend it at all unless you went to it because it was in town. One thing they did have good there was the rehab department. The therapists there were very good; that part, we had no problem with. It might be OK for short term but not for very long term. "

"I feel that Manteca Care and Rehabilitation Center is a great place because the staff tries their best to provide the best care possible. My friend stays there and she loves the activities that the center provides. She enjoys sitting with her friends at bingo each week because she wins nice prizes. The food looks very yummy in comparison to other centers that I have visited. The place looks very clean. The nurses and CNAs work hard to provide the best possible care. The rehabilitation department provides daily rehabilitation services to the residents. After visiting other long term care centers, I have come to the conclusion that this center is one of the best in cleanliness, professionalism, and great care. I believe that the care of our loved ones should be a team oriented experience, and that the team members are inclusive of all of the staff and the residents' family members working together towards the ultimate goal of providing the maximum quality of care for the resident."

"Vicente and I have a grandma staying at this facility currently, she's been there for three years now. I live close by the facility, so I get to visit her often. Every time, I go there the staff is very nice and helpful. The facility is always kept up. The facility is surrounded by farmland. The atmosphere is very inviting and friendly. My grandma is very active in her age and the facility provides lots of activities. My grandma has nothing but good things to say about where she's at. I am at peace with her being there. The staff takes good care of their patients. The thing I love most about the place is the visiting hours and the schedule they have for their patients at the facility, I also love the food they give them, and the few medical staff taking care of certain patients that need medical treatment. In overall I would recommend this retirement center to any family with elders that are looking to retire. "

"Tracy Convalescent & Rehabilitation Center seemed OK, clean, located in a nice area, and very homey. They had two people in a room who are paired up accordingly to the people there, from what I saw."
