Memory Care in California

"I have been a resident at Drake Terrace for several years now and I love living here. The management team is wonderful to work with and they all seem to have been here for a long time, which says a lot in this industry. We have made many new friends and feel very much a part of this community because of the fantastic activities director who works so hard to give us something fun to look forward to every day. My only complaint is that the food could be better, but given that they are serving so many people at once, it's a minor concern. Overall I am very happy here and would recommend Drake to anyone looking for a new home." - Juanita… Read more

"As a former employee of this company I can tell you not to place any family member in their care and not to work there. For residents, they have the state minimum staff on shift at any given time which is 1 person to 100 residents. If you're lucky there's 2 people to care for the residents. If there is an emergency with one resident there's no one else to handle any other needs or other emergency happening in the facility. They do not care about the health and wellness of their residents. The management does not strive for the best care, they strive to increase the bottom line. Staff is not trained properly. The turnover rate of staff is shockingly high due to poor management and minimum pay. No medical professionals on staff or in the building. Please save yourself the pain of dealing with this company." - Anonymous… Read more

"In the time that i've resided in Grossmon Gardens, I have found the staff to be open and welcoming.

"My mother lived in both the independent living and memory care areas of Healdsburg Senior Living. She absolutely loved her bright and clean apartment in independent living and it was roomier than other facilities we had visited and more affordable. When she moved over to memory care she was able to have a single room and, although much smaller, the staff helped us recreate a mini version of her independent apartment so the transition was easier and her walls were filled with family photographs and the paintings she loved. The culture of bringing the community together through their fundraising events, the beautiful garden and the animals all helped her thrive while she was there. Visiting and feeding the goats and chickens reminded her of a time she loved visiting her grandparents farm growing up. And the Comm-University program, where she could share her knowledge of music and learn from the kids she was partnered with, gave her a renewed sense of purpose. The nurses and staff in both independent living and memory care were exceptionally kind, patient, caring and her interactions with them all were heartfelt. I can't say enough good things about Healdsburg Senior Living.. I recommend it highly to anyone who is looking for a loving, clean, healthy and caring environment for their loved ones to live." - Vicki S.… Read more

"Our family is so grateful to the staff and especially to the Memory care staff. My Mother in law just went in December and although it hasn't been that long we have times the high level of professionalism from the staff. More importantly they give such wonderful care and love towards the patient. Memory care is a hard place to work...very challenging and we have noticed the patience and kindness of the staff towards the patients who really are in need 24 hours a day. In our case my mother in law was extremely anxious and cried a lot certain times of the day. She was confused and at times agitated due to her dementia. Every time a family member visited we came upon a scene of them holding my mother in laws hand and trying to comfort her and giving her positive encouragement and love. They would cheer her on and keep her spirits high. Just absolutely lovely to see.....we would go unannounced and so we know now that its not just for show. Truly appreciated!" - Monica… Read more
