El Rio Memory Care in Modesto, CA
4.4

My Father only spent 4 days at El Rio. He passed away 4 days after entering the facility. My experience with [name removed] the Sales Director was great. The staff was amazing! The facility was clean and spacious. The care even though short for my father was good. The rates were comparable to other facilities that seemed not as nice. I would recommend El Rio to others in need of a Memory Care Facility.

Whispering Pines Inn, LLC in Hollister, CA
5.0

Whispering Pines Inn has devotedly served the San Benito County for over 26 years. The management & staffs are caring & very responsive to their elderly residents. Being a caregiver is not an easy task. You have to have the heary & compassion which I have seen with the employees as well ad the owners who are there even on weekends. They are hands on in all they do!
