Assisted Living
We toured a few different communities and this one seemed to be the best fit for my mom. She is doing well here.She is starting to meet new residents and make some friends. She is participating in some of the activities. She really likes the food. The community is always clean and well maintained.
I looked at 4 different assisted living facilities and Clearwater at Sonoma Hills was the first that we toured and they set the bar high. When you walk in, you feel like you are at a Marriott hotel. It is only 2 years old so it is more modern and has amenities that other places do not have. For example each room has a live electrical outlet with a red plate meaning if the power ever goes out, that one outlet would still work. They had a room available right away so we just put a deposit down and the move in process was easy. I would definitely recommend them to others looking.
What I like most is the staff's responsiveness to our requests and specific needs for my Mom. Each resident is cared for and loved in the way that works best for them. My mom is enjoying the activities, thanks to the new full time activity director at WindChime of Marin community.
