Arden Courts A ProMedica Memory Care Community in Elk Grove

My brother is receiving wonderful care at Arden. IT brings us comfort that he is in a place that takes such good care of him and keeps him safe.

Caring, compassionate staff. They are committed to each resident taking a personal interest in each person. Head nurse Takes a personal interest in my parents and my family. Hugely helpful! The director works with us with great support.

[name removed], the director, thoughtfully arranged that my father's room would be in the same wing as three other men and this has had such a positive impact on my father, socially and mentally. [name removed], the director of nursing, bring so much enthusiasm and caring in everything she does. It's a joy to talk with her about our parents wellbeing. All of the staff are so dedicated, pleasant and caring!

I can honestly tell you that I have been struggling with the decision to place my mom in any community but I am also happy that I was able to be guided along the way by the advisor and she took her time and didn't pressure me in my decision to take my time. Once my mom moved in, we were able to meet clinical leadership team that will be able to be proactive instead of reactive in care. The community is recently renovated and it looks BEAUTIFUL!

My mother has finally transitioned from Arden Courts to a Medicaid care facility. Altogether, she spent 2 years and 6 months at Arden Courts. If she didn't have to leave due to financial circumstance, we would have no reason to move her. The staff and management truly gave my mom truly first-class care the entire time she was there. And, they were kind, patient and warm toward her, me, and my entire family when we visited her. Before her stay, she was living in a garden apartment, struggling with Dementia, in denial, eating poorly, etc. etc. I had to walk through the painful process of basically taking control of her life with legal guardianship. Since moving into Arden in 2018, she looks noticeably healthier, is properly medicated (after years of suffering without), and is a lot happier. Don't be mislead: Dementia is a *damn* cruel disease. Watching your loved one erode will test you. But, at least my mom had some comfort and peace along the way -- there's not much more we could ask for. I normally avoid social media outlets like the plague. But, now with that chapter of my mom's life closed, I think it's important to speak up for folks that honestly are trying to do right. I can definitively give a strong vote of confidence for entrusting these folks with the care of my mother. It worked out well for us.

We liked it very much.Everyone was informative and helpful.Unfortunately it is a bit to much for my Moms budget.

Liked a lot!!! Reasonabley priced. Clean and homey.

Very nice place and setup. I like their all inclusive pricing but the most expensive so far

I've got nothing but praise and gratitude for the management and staff of Arden Courts at Elk Grove. My Mom was living alone and became hospitalized in November, [date removed] from a fall. As a divorcee, she was living alone. It was at that time the hospital doctor strongly advised me to place her under memory care. After a week, she transitioned to a skilled nursing facility for rehab. A month later we moved her into memory care at Arden Courts, where she continues to live. Anybody that has had to do this for their parent knows that it is an emotionally trying experience - to say the very least. It's also been a steep learning curve for myself and my family to understand and come to terms with Dementia, while at the same time taking on guardianship duties, managing her bills, navigating through hospitals, dealing with doctors and lawyers, etc. We shopped around and visited numerous facilities for memory care, and this was the place that felt most like it could be home for her. The folks at Arden Courts are attentive, conscientious, and loving toward my Mom. I tend to have a cynical orientation esp. when dealing with large organizations. But the folks over there genuinely "go the extra mile". One of the added benefits we found with the Elk Grove location is that there's a skilled nursing facility next door that handles rehab. I think it's important to find a place that resonates with your sense of well being, and obviously is clean, well-managed, etc. For us we found we've found that experience at Arden Courts.

My tour of this community was decent. When I first arrived for my appointment, I asked for the person who was suppose to give me to the tour. For 45 minutes I waited for someone to come give me the tour. Also we toured the wrong side of the community at first. After the tour was done the sales lady was very pushy. She didn't allow us time to think about our decision.

When I toured I saw that it was too small for my mother-in-law. They had mixed stages of memory care for the residents. They were all in the same location. I thought this would not work for an early dementia person. No private showers were available.

We are very happy with this community. My mom is happy here and likes all the activities offered for her. The staff is very nice and helpful. The food is good and the variety. I would recommend this community highly to other families.

I took a tour of the community. The tour guide showed me all around and answered all of my questions. The community looked clean. Staff that i got to meet during the tour were nice. The guide was smart and explained all of the amenities the community offers to the residents.

My brother enjoyed a bbq this past weekend as well as they had a barbershop quartet come and sing. I have had some minor issues with the staff ordering supplies and not notifying us but we are working on resolving this issue. The caregivers are very nice. I have not yet eaten there but my brother likes the food. The community is very well maintained. I also wanted to thank A Place for Mom for their help in this process.

To soon to rate care givers and activities .

I am so impressed by how the caretakers handle the dementia and memory-care unit residents. They were very gentle and compassionate with these people and I never heard anyone raise their voice, because sometimes there were problems with the residents, but the staff immediately jumps in and resolves them. It is just a wonderful place.

The staff there was so wonderful. I witnessed Darlene( staff) feeding a resident with such compassion, I almost cried. The staff was talking to the resident while feeding her, asking how her day was, how nice she looked and never acted like it was a chore. My Mom was dressed every day and even had her hair "styled", courtesy of Claudia(staff) Which made her feel special. I have only one regret. that I didn't find this wonderful place for her sooner. I enjoyed every visit with her in this beautiful place with all of the surroundings. There are safe places outdoors with bird feeders that she could wheel around and get some different views. There was a family setting in the T.V. room that had a fireplace and many recliner chairs- even quilts were supplied if she or others were chilly. There was peace in this place that gave both Mom and me comfort. The meals were wonderful as well, The residents ate in their own kitchen area with linen table clothes and real dishes, not plastic. This I am sure made all the residents feel like they were really at home.

Place is friendly and caring. Caregivers are given too much housekeeping chores. This time could be better spent assisting with residents who require help eating. There is no reason caregivers should be responsible for doing dishes and pans. Firstly it takes too much time and secondly it is a disturbance to the residents when dishes are slammed into the cabinets. Floors could be swept up by housekeeping. Caregivers should be providing care and fun with the residents.

It was a very nice place
