San Gabriel Memory Care Godfrey

5 on everything.They are that good.

It worked best for my mother. The cost was a little high. I would recommend to others.

I would highly recommend San Gabriel Memory Care Godfrey. The staff is nice, friendly, and respectable. It seemed like everything was well cleaned and the food seemed good. I wish my loved one would have lived longer to enjoy his life there, he was happy. We couldn't have asked for a better place.

My loved one and family have had a wonderful experience with San Gabriel Memory Care. The community is very clean. The staff are wonderfully caring and helpful. Everyone is friendly. They provide meals and activities for the residents to engage with and socialize. Overall we would recommend the community to others for their loved ones.

The community is neat and clean, and most of the staff is great. They post photos on their FB page of the activities so I get to see photos of my loved one participating. Communication is good between the staff and our family and they keep us informed. I would like to see more staff at night. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

We have only used San Garbiel for respite but have had a great experience and love it here. It is always very clean and I know they have a good chef and staff engage with residents a lot. They also will go out of their way for you and are so friendly and helpful. They do have private rooms so that was very nice. I would recommend them to anybody looking.

I toured San Gabriel Memory Care and was very pleased. I was greeted at the door by a very nice person who was happy to sit and talk with me. As we walked around the Community the residents seemed engaged and happy. While I was there they were playing a game and having fun. The staff seemed very confident and caring. For a new Community they seemed to have everything in order. The Community is very warm and inviting.

Upon first visiting San Gabriel I instantly found peace in the beautiful surroundings. While visiting I noticed the caregivers were very attentive and doing trivia with residents for an activity. We looked many places before choosing one and I am glad that we picked San Gabriel.

I moved my Mom to San Gabriel Memory Care Godfrey and I have been very happy. From the beginning of the process to move in day everything has gone smooth. They were able to work around my schedule for meetings and the move in. The Staff is knowledgeable and caring. Their attention to detail in my Mom's care has been great. San Gabriel has given me the gift of being a daughter again, they do the heavy lifting and I am able to come visit and spend quality time with my Mom.

What a wonderful place. I can't say enough about their staff. They have taken care of Dad so well, he has never been so happy. Thank you San Gabriel.

I am not usually one to write reviews but felt compelled to write this one to save other caregivers from making the same mistake. My husband has dementia and has been in a memory care facility for 1 ½ years. The facility has good people, but I wanted to move my husband to a closer facility. I was driving 24 miles each way and the new facility was only 3.5 miles from my house. I made an appointment at San Gabriel Memory Care in Godfrey to view the new facility and to have my husband evaluated by a nurse. The facility is beautiful, but has breakables, water fountains, a fake fireplace, glass tables with lamps and an open desk area. Anyone that has been around dementia patients would realize breakables and an open office area would not be suitable inside of a memory care unit. I brought my husband to the facility three times and ask several times when a nurse would evaluate him since I was only talking to marketing people and the owner. I explained that my husband is young and very active walking over 10 miles a day and can be aggressive especially when having his pants changed. They were willing to waive the community fee, so I thought I should try it to make it easier on myself since I visit my husband six days a week. Even with all my reservations and doubts, I moved my husband into San Gabriel Memory Care in Godfrey. But they were clueless! I moved my husband on a Friday and on Saturday at 4 p.m. the owner calls and says, “I'm sorry we are not going to be able to handle him, so he will have to move out by Monday”. The reason she gave was: he can’t be changed by one person. I told her I change him by myself and so do the caregivers at [removed]. Out of the 32 hours he was there, I was there over 19 of them and took him home on that Saturday night. They could not change his pants and the caregiver needed a break from him, even though there were only two other residents. Thank goodness his previous place, [removed], was willing to take him back immediately. San Gabriel knew there would be a transition period and only gave it 1 ½ days before throwing the towel in. Since San Gabriel has three locations I would expect much more professionalism dealing with dementia patients. I would say that San Gabriel Memory Care could handle early stage dementia patients (most people keep them at home until they cannot handle them) but are not equipped to handle later stage dementia patients.
