Although it is hard to determine sometimes what the level of care is needed, if a family member needs direct supervision, this would not be the place. A board and care would be more appropriate. My father, who has now passed away, fell numerous times. I found him unresponsive one time in the middle of staff there, and walking in the common area with no pants on.

I thought they had great activities. But it was way too dark inside, and they had only a tiny outdoor patio that wasn’t easy to access. You had to walk around to get to it. The tour itself was a good experience, but the community just wasn't the right fit.
We chose Oak Cottage of Santa Barbara because it was focused on memory care. I like that they are very involved with Alzheimer's and their staff is well trained in all different areas. They have an app where you can see what activities your loved ones are doing. They also email videos and pictures of her and we can face-time her at anytime. They went and picked all of my moms stuff up from her previous facility, so it made the move very easy on us. They are a very family oriented facility. We have had a wonderful experience here so far.
