Residential Care Home
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.
It's working out very well. They are wonderful, it's been a wonderful experience. It's a small place with only about eight or nine residents. They have been very, very helpful. My mom has liked the food so far. I would rate them very highly. I don't have any complaints.
