Recent reviews of Memory Care in Monterey County, CA
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!

Carmelo Park in Monterey, CA
5.0

It is smaller than the community next door. It depends on the individual; however, they have been able to accommodate a friend of mine into this community. The staff's communication and proactiveness about my friend stand out to me. They have been amazing to work with. The staff is nice, has a clean community, provide good care, and healthy food. I would highly recommend this community to others.

Vista Harden Ranch in Salinas, CA
4.8

This has been a very positive, happy, and clean place for my loved one. The staff are very helpful in answering the family's questions, and have responded quickly with answers. There are three meals a day served to the residents, and they have snacks available as well. Card games, baking, exercise classes, karaoke, and more are some of the activities available for the residents to choose from.
