Communities in Woodland, CA

" Norwood Pines, is a wonderful place. My Mom has been there since July 2014, and i have never found her uncomfortable, scared, or in a dangerous predicament. They have a terrific staff, who respects & truly cares for each of their residents. She gets great nutritional meals, bathed 2 times a week, and treated to numerous events. They have musical shows weekly, & daily group classes, which stimulate their brains & are fun too! They have a full rehab, nursing, maintenance, activity, & culinary staff that are quality trained, while being terrific caring folks! I thank God, every day for Norwood Pines, they love & care for my Mom daily. <3 "

"I read all the other reviews and my sister has been at Windsor since June 2013. I am there twice a week to see her. I always see the staff interacting with the residents. The only time they don't is if there is an emergency. It is an older facility so it isn't shiny and new. There aren't TV's in the rooms because most of the residents only are in their rooms to sleep or to get changed. They do have tv in one of the dining rooms that is always on and music in another the main activities is were they have the intertainers that come, games and movies. They are provided snacks and drinks through out the day. My sister gets very good care there. "

"My husband was at the rehab facility of Advanced Health Care of Sacramento for a while, and after that, Medicare said they had exhausted everything, so we had no choice but to go home. It was very nice and clean. The services were also fine, but they all followed Medicare guidelines, so it's based on it. Their staff members were wonderful. They were very helpful. They have different activities for those who want to participate. What I like best about the place is that everything is a private room. I like that because you have more privacy, unlike other homes."

"Since my mom has been here, she has received the best care. I want to thank the staff for being so considerate and kind. Words cannot express how much I appreciate the service. I would highly recommend ECCG. God bless this place. People I want to recognize: all the nurses and CNAs, specifically Jose (AM nurse), Numer (CNA), Renee (Speech), Mina (PM CNA), Jon (COTA), Paskazie (RNA), Myrna (med rec), Brittany (discharge), Stephanie (discharge), Sandy (nurse sup). "

"My father was dying of brain cancer. We were trying to get him up here, but he deteriorated so fast he passed away last October. He was in a skilled nursing facility, and then he was in a regular care home. Then he had to go back to a skilled nursing facility. The facility is called Sutter Oaks in Sacramento California. It was favorable to my father because we're Filipino, and the staff spoke Tagalog. This helped with his disease because towards the end he had expressive dysphasia. The fact that they speak the language helped, and he felt comfortable there. It was favorable for my father because he enjoyed being there. They took care of his needs. It’s a very clean facility. I would recommend Sutter Oaks. "

"Saylor Lane Healthcare Center was better than the other place, except when my mom fell, they didn't let us know that she fell and ended up with an L2 fracture. She was there for rehab. The room was fine. Her roommate was very nice. It was a nice-sized room. However, they need to communicate with the family more. They had a lot of people who didn't have family checking on them, but we were checking on our mom all the time, and there was no reason for them not to contact us when something was going on. Their food was not flavorful and cold. Also, if my mom fell and no one contacted us, that meant no one was there or paying attention. There were not enough staff for the amount of people they have in their facility."

"McKinley Park Care Center was a very good place. If I needed to recommend it to anybody, I would do that. They had hospice care and rehabilitation care. My family liked it. We didn't have problems with them. Their service was good. The staff provided good care. They had somebody come in from midnight until 8:00 to sit with my brother. The place was very clean. They always came in to check if we had garbage."

"They didn't communicate well amongst themselves and they did not provide the kind of care that we needed for our patient although their caregivers were friendly. The most skilled caregivers were the speech pathologists, but again it was not enough to deal with. They had a general idea on what to do for general patients which is physical therapy, but what we needed is someone who would deal with memory, cognitive, and behavioral problems. "

"I communicated with the staff and they were very professional. The residents looked well care for and the facility was very clean. They were very receptive to visitors coming through their facility. The staff was friendly and professional. "

"My mother is at ACC Care Center. The staff is very friendly, but they're a bit short-staffed, which is common in nursing homes. They're polite, helpful and doing their job. It's very expensive, but overall they're very good to the patients, they work hard and they're caring. My mother gets to order what she would like to have, and the food is good and healthy. They have several different food choices, and they've got meals three times a day. It's expensive, but it's very nice, good sized, and clean. They're a little bit understaffed, but they try to accommodate their residents, and they're pretty good about that. Overall, it's a good facility."

"Located twenty minutes south of downtown Sacramento Emerald Gardens is a Skilled Nursing Care Home. To find Emerald Gardens, simply travel south on I-5 from Sacramento, take Florin Rd. East and turn left to 24th Street. The trees and flower beds are attractive. Inside the building, it could be brighter, more cheerful, and less institutional. Some inner area like dining rooms and activity areas are attractive. Resident rooms are adequate but too small for any feeling of privacy unless you reside alone. For years I have come there to visit and sing with their residents. The vast majority of residents have dementia or Alzheimer's dementia. This is a Rehab. Facility first.They take great pride, and have good success returning their rehab. referrals home. Yet the highest percentage of residents require 24 hour, hands-on supervised care. Your first impression relates to cleanliness. No matter how hard staff tries, unpleasant odors permeate the air. Unfortunately, they have never historically, in 15 years, got this issue under control. The care givers are hard working and earthy, working as quickly as they can. You get the impression that the care needs exceed the staffing available to care for those needs. They show their concern often for their clients, and a good relationship exists between them. Yet the first impression is the detection of unsavory odors. All styles of dietary needs are met, yet the food I've eaten is relatively bland, and unappetizing. Residents asked will say the food is alright but sometimes served cold. The dining areas are attractive, and the dietary staff nice. Many of the more coherent residents seem frustrated as they have a hard time communicating with their staff whose English is shaky. The activity program is average. It doesn't appear to be individualized enough. Often you see higher functioning residents in programs with lower functioning residents. It could be that happened on the day I was there. They make an effort to have frequent outside entertainment; as well providing spiritual programs. A social services staff person helps with resident needs, and family support. Administrative staff is a veteran, responsive, and friendly group. Because it appears that things overall appear more reactive than proactive, on a scale of 1 to 5, five being the best, I give Emerald Gardens a 3. "

"My mother stayed in Woodside Healthcare Center for skilled nursing and rehab. I liked best that there's a nice area to sit outside with big trees and a garden; the least would be the shared room. The staff did the bare minimum. The food was healthy but bland. The structure is old, small, hospital-like, and I can't stand fluorescent lighting. It's old, it's not updated. The room was tiny. They had an exercise class but hardly ever got her to go. They didn't want her walking, but they wouldn't get her with a wheelchair to go. That was canceled a lot. So I really wouldn't call it physical therapy at all, even though they said it was. They did have a resident's talk like a group chat, which she enjoyed. She had her own TV, but she didn't know how to use it and they wouldn't come help her every day, even though I asked them to over and over. The staff was kind of rude. They acted like I was putting them out when I would call and ask them to help my mom with things because she would call me rather than ask them She's shy. They also didn't answer the phone a lot and it didn't go to voicemail. So the phone would ring and ring, and no one would pick up. The social worker was really rude to me. She shamed me because I hadn't been to see my mom yet, but I was extremely busy and on the phone with her several times daily. She acted like I was despicable for not getting there yet, and it was an hour away from me too. They did not help with placement at all. They gave me two names of places that were awful. They were not helpful."

"The director of assisted living and staff especially Francis the med tech have taken care of my Step-Father and best friend since 15Oct2012. Their coordination between skilled nursing, hospitals, medicines, Dr. Lehman, equipment such as wheelchairs and oxygen plus transportation has been a blessing. The business office is extremely professional and helpful."

"We had an intellectually disabled cousin do rehab here following knee surgery. The facility was clean and the staff professional. Many activities that kept her busy and made her stay pleasant. "
