Goldencare 2 in Alameda, CA

I love Golden Care but having issue with A Place for Mom. Golden Care is great and I'm pleased, but I went on my own to the facility, not through A Place for Mom.

They are great at Blue Horizon Living LLC. Mom just missed dad and that is the only reason that we took her out. The management and staff are exceptional at this facility. They were very patient with mom as she was in a lot of pain. I really couldn't ask for a better place for mom. The people are wonderful there.
