10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Ansel, CA. Page 2

My moms bathroom was not as clean as we would have liked, my brothers had to clean it a couple of times. The are great at contacting us with any questions or concerns. My mom seems to like the food and the portion sizes are large. They seem to watch a lot of TV at the community room, my mom was getting bored , took her word finding books and goes there ... So far the value is not too bad, we essentially picked it because the memory care was larger and had access to outside garden and fenced and well maintained. To be specific about what medications they can and cannot administer. My mom was on libre to check her sugar so no more pricking her finger- they said they do it there, then we found out it was only on the assisted living side - not memory care- it was too late - so we have to have my mom prick her fingers for blood glucose check. We love the gardens for the patients and families to enjoy...

I live too far away from my father so when he had some health issues, the Nikkei gardens helped me so much to get him safely into a room with the friendly trained staff to help him keep track of medication and get his strength back through physical therapy. The staff is so friendly and timely when they deliver his medication. They know him and myself by our first names and have appropriate safely precautions within the home. My father enjoys his space there and it’s just what he needs right now to get back to 100% again.

It's a very good facility. We toured three and chose Atria Satna Clarita. They have good programs and ideas and seem to treat their staff well from what I can see. I'm very happy with them. My mother seems to be well taken care of. I would like it if the staff got back to me a little quicker, but they've been good overall. The food has nice variety. My mother says sometimes it's good and sometimes she doesn't care for it. For memory care, it seems they try to keep the residents stimulated with the activities.
