This community seems to be good but due to covid, we have not been able to visit. I would recommend this community to others

Redwood R and R in Eureka, CA
4.0

Redwood R and R is a board and care home that can accommodate about 10 residents. Staff members are very attentive and caring, which means a lot to our family. My mother-in-law has level 2 memory issues and this community offers a variety of care to different levels of issues. Due to an unfortunate situation with a prior caretaker, we had to find a community that was suitable within a very short time frame. We toured this community on a Sunday and Redwood R & R enabled a move in on the following Tuesday. Since my mother-in-law has been there (for about 2 months) she has been very happy. She loves the food and the meals are freshly prepared every day. Family members have been asked to join and share meals, but we haven't so far. Since she's been there, she's gained some weight, which is a good thing. Transportation is available if necessary and we live about 3 miles away. This allows visitation often and the community is open to us dropping by when we're in the neighborhood. We are very happy with the choice of Redwood R & R and my mother-in-law has been very happy there.

Alder Bay Assisted Living in Eureka, CA
4.4

Our first impression right away with Alder Bay was very positive - everything has really worked out so far. We have a great relationship with the admistrative team, the staff are super nice and overall no complaints. Our loved one des say at times though the meals and dining can be a little bit of a hit or miss but overall the experience is going good.

Things I would tell others: The free Wi-Fi isn't strong enough to use. You'll need your own Wi-Fi if you want to use it. It is good for basic things on your phone or laptop, but not strong enough to stream...
