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.

Cogir of Turlock

The Staff is very helpful and considerate and I have nothing but high praise for everyone working there. The facility is so clean and that was the main reason we chose them initially. I would highly recommend Cogir of Turlock!
