If you are considering placing a loved one at Greenhaven Estates, I strongly encourage you to…read moreresearch the facility carefully and consider all available information before making a decision. According to publicly reported court records and news coverage, the facility was previously involved in a wrongful-death lawsuit involving a 100-year-old resident who wandered outside from memory care and later died from hypothermia. A Sacramento jury reportedly awarded significant damages to the resident's family. Information about that case is publicly available and worth reviewing when evaluating the facility. Separately, my family had our own experience with the facility while my aunt lived there for nearly two years. During that time, we personally observed several issues that concerned us. At one point my aunt experienced a fall in her apartment and, based on what she and our family were told, she remained on the floor for several hours before assistance arrived. Afterward, there was still visible blood on the flooring that, from what we could see, had not been properly cleaned. Two months ago my aunt suffered a stroke and had to be transferred to a higher-level care facility. Her partner still lived in their two-bedroom apartment, so rent continued to be paid while we worked through the transition. When family members returned later to collect my aunt's belongings, we found that the bathroom had not been cleaned since she left. There was still waste in the toilet that appeared to have been there for an extended period of time. Seeing that condition was very upsetting for our family. There were also communication issues with administration regarding the required 30-day move-out notice. My father was initially told by a staff member that the notice had already been handled, but later the acting administrator told him it still needed to be submitted in writing. This created confusion and additional stress during an already difficult time for our family. While we were at the facility removing my aunt's belongings, we had an uncomfortable interaction with a staff member. The tone of the interaction was confrontational, and during the exchange I was called a derogatory slur referencing my sexual orientation. That experience was extremely upsetting and not what anyone expects when dealing with a facility responsible for caring for elderly residents. Throughout the remainder of the time we were there, several staff members came by repeatedly while we were moving items, which made the situation feel tense and uncomfortable. Based on these experiences, our family ultimately decided to move our loved one to a different facility where she could receive the level of care she needs. Every family's experience may be different, but ours raised serious concerns about cleanliness, communication, and professionalism. For that reason, we are also submitting our concerns to the appropriate California oversight agencies so they can review the situation. Choosing a care facility for a loved one is an important decision. I strongly recommend visiting facilities multiple times, asking detailed questions, and reviewing public records before making a choice.

This is a delayed review. I found my notes and decided I needed to put this out there. First of…read moreall, I eventually found out that this place is investor owned and anytime you have that it is all about the mighty dollar and how cheaply you can run it. We placed our mom in the facility based on prior experiences, albeit a few years before that, from her friends. We checked in on a Saturday which they knew in advance. The room key didn't work, the locked drawer in the bathroom key didn't work because the drawer was broken. The bathroom sink faucet sprayed water all over the place when turned on. The marketing representative met us and gave us the key. There was never a nurse to check in and evaluate our mother as is per protocol when arriving to an assisted living facility. Out mother was total care needing assistance to do everything and we were paying top tier level fees and an "additional" fee on top of that as the points exceeded the highest tier. Never mentioned during signing. The handbook had no info on wi fi hookup password or even a menu. The front desk person, who was eating at the desk, didn't know or who to ask. Over the course of the next week we were there every day because staff was not checking on her every hour as we were paying them to do. The care aides were called, even with us sitting there, and it took them an hour to arrive. Then the request was made for the medication that had to be managed and she had to notify the med tech. That took another hour. By then the next medication was needed and resulted in more delays. Took two requests to get the nurse; not sure if it was an RN; to come evaluate my mother as you would expect. Also to complain of the lack of care as promised. Food brought to the room was placed in a bag. Our mother needed assistance to open it and they just left it. Care giver was asked to do bathing and they had to leave and go ask a supervisor. How is this not noted? Caregiver wouldn't move commode from bathroom to bedroom. A caregiver answered during the night and told my mother that she was the only one for two floors. Another one was 7 months pregnant and the only one at night and couldn't do any lifting at all. We over heard on entry two employees talking in a break room while we waiting by the elevator. One said he would never have his family here. And then they saw us and tried to retract what they had said. Not great when you were in the middle of moving the furniture into the facility. No care plan was ever transferred to the chart and the nurse came back the next day due to illness. Who was covering for the nurse out sick? No care plan given to us in writing. Asked repeatedly for copies of the documents signed prior to arrival. Ability to reach the director was close to impossible. Phone calls to facility sent us to voice mail with no call. eventually was able to find the email contact via the California department listing. We stated we were taking our mother out of the facility for her safety on that Friday. Never able to speak to her. We felt we would lose our 30 day minimum notice fees but it didn't matter as all we cared about was her care and safety. Eventually they gave us back all of the entry fee and rent/fees/care fees minus the one week that she stayed there. I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE TO GO TO THIS PLACE! In fact I have told people to tell other people. I don't know how people can sleep at night knowing what goes on in their place of employment. How can they work there? I know of people who had issues as well that I won't go into detail here. I am sure you can call the state and find all of the complaints that have been lodged against them.

It was elegant, appeared modernized and fresh, but still homey. A few lovely and elegant antiques remain here and there, but they don't distract from the fresh look. I spoke to a couple residents who said they loved it. The place was peaceful and quiet other than a group leaving for an event. I was given some respite information and literature, and the price was laid out clearly along with minimum stay, provided in writing so that any financial disputes should be easily settled. The Director's followup was supportive of my unique needs and staff was very kind. I am very glad I reached out to Caring.com to find this hidden gem in a good location. The only piece missing for me was a swimming pool. Definitely worth a look. Note that many of the negative reviews here are quite old and should probably be dropped to be fair, as the Director's name has changed from those mentioned and the descriptions are not aligned with the upgrades I saw.
