7 Best Independent Living Communities in Plumas County, CA

The Eagle Lake Village Senior Facility is a vey friendly, professional and caring staff. In terms of care, we are working through some things and we are hoping to it will all work out. We really don't want to move our Mom again, because the place is beautiful and everyone is so nice. We really like it there, but again, we have to work some things out first. They just need to follow through with things they said they would do.

At Atria Paradise, we’ve found a place for mom AND dad. Mom has dementia and is in memory care, Dad is supposed to be in assisted living, but the staff at Atria has allowed my Dad to sleep with my Mom in memory care. The staff is easy to communicate with and they answer all of your questions. They act quickly; they don’t let time go by. They’re very prompt at getting back to us if Dad needs a cane or a walker, or if he or Mom tripped and fell but weren’t hurt. The food is great, not too salty, and very nutritious. There’s quite a variety to choose from. On the assisted living side of the facility, they have a main menu to choose from but they have alternate options as well for those with dietary restrictions. On the memory care side, they don’t have alternate options but you can always tell them if your loved one has special needs. However, they don’t allow pureed food. I don’t have any doubts about the way they keep things clean; it’s always really nice in the community. They have fun activities like circle time where they’ll have everyone sit in a circle and do physical exercises; there’s a man that comes in who leads a group with cards and gives them hints as to who is on the card and the group has to guess. They even encourage my dad to sing – when we first walked into the lobby of the facility, my dad had remembered he was in a choral group that had sung there before and he remembered it being a nice place. It was like a sign to me. Atria was the last place on our list of places to tour and it just happened to be THE place. If there’s one thing that I could suggest, it would be really great if they had something for the family in charge of paying the bills that wasn’t just a packet of paperwork – I would’ve liked to have a schedule for laundry, what sort of toiletries they need in the memory care unit (because they only want specific brands), etc. Otherwise, I definitely recommend them.
