Ivy Park at Laguna Creek

We have been so pleased with Brookdale over the last three weeks. The star has gone out of their way to make us (the family) feel comfortable in caring for my grandmother. I love how the staff members all treat her with dignity and respect.

I like the more intimate and cozy setting of the cottages in a quiet area. It seemed to encourage a more casual atmosphere. Plenty of activities available. I wish the units had kitchenettes. Wondering if my mother would shy away from events held in the community center when the weather is bad. Thank you, [Removed] ,for the tour and all the great information.

My husband had a pleasant stay at this community. He was satisfied with the treatment and care. The people and staff were great at this community. I would recommend a respite at this community.

This community is kept clean and is cared for. The staff work well with my dad. The administrative staff is not very responsive. I have not heard any complaints about the food. They offer a variety of activities. I would probably recommend this community.

The care here is the best that it could be. I see the community is clean and kept well-maintained. Most of the staff are pretty good, there is an overnight staff who is really great and I have no worries when she is there. The food is sometimes not too great, it don't taste good and is not properly cooked. I probably would recommend this place to others.

At Brookdale Elk Grove the admissions process was seamless. The move in process was also seamless. The quality of care here is excellent. I would say the social aspect needs improvement and the meals need improvement at this facility. That pretty much sums it all up for me.

The overall experience with Brookdale Elk Grove has been very good. We have been very impressed with them. The nursing staff that they have there is extremely caring and competent. It shows that they genuinely do care and they do an excellent job.

A good place. There is always activities. The Brookdale Elk Grove is considered one of the nicest community in the Elk Grove area. They are even doing some remodeling. My overall rating of this property is 5 stars. Everything has been going very good. It is very clean. There is always someone cleaning and making sure it is spotless. I would highly recommend the Brookdale Elk Grove. It is very nice. 5 stars.

We were very impressed with the staff and facility here. The setting was so much like a neighborhood. It seems like it will be a great place for my Dad.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. Lack of communication between shifts. Very beautiful community. They only clean the rooms once a week, more often would be better. I think they should improve the meals.

My mother is living there and insists on doing things for herself, but when she lets the staff help her, they are doing a good job. I think they are understaffed though and could use a few helpers for their different cottages. They have a lot of activities, but the residents have to go to the residence center, which can be hard to get to sometimes. When my mother goes to an activity, she seems to enjoy.

I really like the smaller nature of Emeritus at Laguna Creek. This means really good 1x1 support for mom. I would like them to encourage mom just a little bit more to join in on some of the activities. She enjoys and benefits from being involved, but is a little hesitant to do so on her own.

Many options to choose from. Bettie was certain she needed a Kitchen and walk-in closet when she saw those choices.

I placed my mom at Emeritus Laguna Creek after a horrific one month stay at the Carlton. It was such a relief to have her in the hands of the experienced caregivers at Emeritus. They were kind, caring and knowledgeable about the needs and behaviors of the Alzheimer's patient. It releived so much stress from me knowing mom was in good hands. Mom eventually passed away at Emeritus with the loving care she always received there.

It's working out pretty well. The value is better than the A La Carte style. I think everything has been pretty easy here. We use the memory care, and the director Liza is awesome to have working with the families. The staff has been helpful if I have questions about how's my dad doing they keep track of the residents. I like that they send out a monthly update on what positive things your loved one has done here, they focus on the positive. They have a really great large, peaceful backyard in the memory care, with places to sit, and tall trees and shade.

Our experience with the community was excellent overall! Because of being in a hurry we could only tour the facility once but the facility was in excellent condition; the staff and the care offered was fantastic. First impressions are important and because of the lack of the "weird smell" that most senior we felt comfortable continuing, only to be continuously impressed with other aspects of the facility. Our loved one needed a high level of care and we felt comfortable with the staff due to their friendly, cheerful, and wonderful disposition. Overall the value was well worth the investment, and we were happy to pay less than we would expect.

My sister and I spent several days visiting places for Mom. Emeritus was the last place we visited and we both agreed that the memory care cottage is where Mom would fit in best. It is not the most glamorous facility, nor is it the newest, but it is warm and comfortable and the staff is kind and caring. There are 16 ladies in "Elm" cottage with at least three staff members present at all times. The rooms are clean and open and most residents are out and about during the waking hours. Meal time is especially nice as the meals are served on linen tablecloths with matching napkins and nice glassware and dishes. The food is appetizing and colorful with at least two choices available at every meal. Mom has been at Emeritus for 8 days and each day she is dressed, hair combed and clean. Both my sister and I are most pleased and we hope that Mom is also pleased.

Feeling of home , but the food is horrible!

Yes, we are very pleased with your services, but unfortunately Mom passed early the morning of December 1st, the day of the move. We will still be moving Dad to Emeritus after the mourning and sorrowful time.

I met with Laura and explained my situation. She was most kind and listened but was unable to work within out budget.
