If you have to admit your loved one into memory care here, I strongly recommend putting cameras in the room. Or better yet, just don't do it. Find somewhere else. Anywhere.

With regard to another review I saw here, it is generally up to the family caregiver to arrange routine medical visits and not to push that to others to do. When we had my family member go to the doctor, with three of the staff in attendance, they took great care of her and also went out of their way to insure she had a good time out with the girls. People who CARE do this... I felt very comforted they did this for her. They also insure she gets help when she asks for it and are pretty prompt when called to her bedside. All in all, great care. Sabrina and Lacey keep a close eye on my family member and the staff who care for her are doing a great job. The facility is CLEAN. The meals are excellent and the staff takes the time to listen to concerns and takes into account what family members think. They have a chef on staff and he cooks some amazing food. Anytime I have concerns, I approach Sabrina or Lacey and the issue gets addressed immediately. My advice to people who do have a loved one in assisted living care is to voice concerns or questions to the staff and not to let an issue fester or become a problem when it can easily be handled while still a small issue. Give the staff a chance to address things and help. When I've voiced issues, it gets looked at immediately. I am absolutely comforted by the fact my loved one is happy and getting the care she needs and deserves. New West Haven has been wonderful and does a great job. Bottom line: We're glad to be part of their world and give thanks for all the nice things they do for us. Thumbs up and a 5 star review for them.

One star is generous! This is a letter I wrote to the administrators of Pavilion at El Dorado…read moreHills. My father has been a resident at Pavilion at El Dorado Hills since March 2023. As his Power of Attorney and oldest child, I am obligated to make sure that the living conditions for him are top notch and worth the $9280 he currently pays. Although I appreciate the efforts the nurse, med techs, and many of the caregivers have made to make my dad comfortable at Pavilion, I have come to the conclusion that he is not being served in a manner conducive to the care he deserves and the amount he pays. I have brought the condition of his room, primarily the dirty floor and full wastebaskets, to the attention of multiple people, yet consistent cleaning has not become routine. When a resident is incontinent and their soiled briefs are left in the room, the entire apartment smells foul. The apartments should be cleaned daily, and wastebaskets emptied immediately after assisting a resident with toileting. Many items of clothing, sheets, and towels have gone missing or were ruined in the laundering process. I brought this issue up first with the previous director and also with the caregivers. The laundry system is in need of revamping and some training is necessary to improve this situation. The biggest issue we have had is the food provided to the residents. The food is substandard at best and has been served on paper plates with plastic utensils for several weeks now. My husband and I recently dropped in during dinner and were appalled at the meal. My dad's plate contained 4-5 french fries, overcooked pasta that had lost its shape, red sauce, a few pieces of hot dog, and four slices of cucumber. Nutritionally this is a train wreck, and not something I would expect to see in a facility of the status Pavilion seems to portray. Last night, he complained that the food was cold and looked like dog food with french fries. Meals are the one thing he looks forward to and are always disappointing. (Side note: my dad is not a memory care patient, he requires assisted living for mobility and we were promised there would be other residents with similar needs) As you know, the residents are in the final stages of their lives and dining is their one remaining pleasure. They deserve healthy, nutritious meals served on real plates with real utensils. Just because they are Memory Care residents, does not mean they should be fed poorly. I feel sad that many of the residents do not have someone to advocate for them and are being fed atrocious substandard food on disposable plates, yet paying thousands of dollars. Pavilion can and should "Do Better." For the above reasons, I will be moving my dad out of Pavilion by November 30, 2023. Please do not use his departure as a reason to ignore these complaints, but use it as a reminder that your facilities should be serving the residents with the proper care they pay for and deserve.

There is professionalism and order mixed with kindness and helpfulness. The food is good, the activities are many and varied, the med techs are sharp and proactive. We are extremely pleased with our choice of The Pavilion at El Dorado Hills and highly recommend it!

I wanted to leave a review as I see there haven't been many recently…read more My dad with severe dementia and Parkinson's was part of the All Seasons community for just under 3 months. I can't say enough good things about All Seasons. First I will start with Toly the owner . From the time I reached out, he was attentive, communicative and kind. He spent so much time with me, easing my fears and worries that we would find the right place for my dad. He kept me updated all along the way with the waiting process. And he gave me such good advice during the time we were waiting for a spot to open up for my dad. I will never forget the kindness and compassion and dignity he showed our family along the entire process. Second, Lauren, the house manager at the home my dad was in. From day one, she came alongside my dad-really wanting to know him, to understand him, and to help him thrive during his time at All Seasons. Her care and love for dementia patients and their families is second to none. I was constantly amazed at not only her patience and kindness towards my dad (who was very difficult a lot of time) but also to us as his family who were trying to navigate the difficult behaviors and circumstances surrounding his disease. We will forever be indebted with gratitude that my dad had Lauren as his caregiver and advocate for the last part of his life. Also, Hector, Lilly, Melissa and so many more. All the caregiver at All Seasons seemed to be called to care for these special patients. My dad had previously been in a large memory care. For everyone there-it was a job and only that. Not at All Seasons. They hire only those who truly care about patients living with dementia. As a nurse of 28 years, I can whole heartedly recommend All Seasons for your loved one with dementia.

We were able to find a facility on Saturday evening, in our budget range, clean, secure and well-kept. If you are having a problem placing a loved one, give Looking for Care a call.

My mother recently passed away, having been a resident for the past 3 years at Pine Tree Villa…read more After a terrible experience of several months at a different, more expensive, nearby private facility, I knew the first time I entered Pine Tree Villa this was where I hoped my mother would live. Even though modest and not recently remodeled it is clean and comfortable and depending on the time of day, smells like something delicious is being prepared in the kitchen. She received the best care I could ever have hoped for. The staff were caring and respectful with all the residents, responding quickly to their needs and just 'being there' when required. They routinely performed welfare checks throughout the day and night. Some of the staff shared meal preparation duties, creating nutritious, tasty meals 3 times a day with snacks between if requested, as well as honoring individual requests (my Mom liked Ensure in her coffee and oatmeal). Lynn, the owner, and her staff are in constant contact with one another and with patient's family (if needed). Because of that, Lynn was able to alert me to specific changes in my mother's demeanor which allowed me to be present when she breathed her last breath. Lynn was always available by phone, if not personally, and is an exceptionally kind, competent and responsive individual. I had peace of mind knowing my mother was being cared for in this well managed, well organized, comfortable facility with exceptional staff where I felt welcomed as part of a family. I often told Lynn that if the time ever came and I should need to live in an assisted living facility, that is where I would want to be. I am forever grateful my mother received such loving care.

Having volunteered at a lot of care homes (therapy dog visits) Pine Tree Villa is clearly number one on the list for me. Caregivers who worked there 15+ years ago still work there and that alone is telling a lot. My recommendation is to not look at how fancy a care home is but look at the care itself. That's what truly matters. My other recommendation is to get on the waiting list when you feel it could be close. Don't wait until a major fall or other emergency happens. You can always say no if you feel it's not quite time yet but, as the scouts say, be prepared. I am glad we were. Check them out, go there, then if still in doubt maybe ask if you could talk to a close relative of another resident. Many like me are gladly willing to talk about their experiences. To me Pine Tree Villa is like extended family.

The facility's owner was asked by my mom's Dr. to set up a home visit to monitor a medical problem she has, but she failed to do so. Often the phone is not answered when I try to call. Visiting is unpleasant in my mom's cramped room which contains er small bed, chair and a porta-potty. Although this place claims to accept pets, my mom was not allowed to take any of her pets which include small birds, small dogs and a cat.

DO NOT MOVE YOUR LOVED ONE HERE…read more I have been in elder care for 14 years both as a sought-after professional and as the daughter caring for her beloved Mom and Dad through their late 80's and 90's. I moved my 98 year old Mom to memory care at Oakmont of El Dorado Hills 11/4/24 after 10 Years at a wonderful Memory Care unit in the Bay Area. This was a mistake. I literally could not move her out of Oakmont fast enough to avoid sleepless nights worrying about neglect in my absence, and potential for injury by untrained caregivers with no knowledge of safe transfers, and very little heart. There are a handful of excellent caregivers and med techs. they are eclipsed by bitter caregivers who I have witnessed first hand speaking abusively, with anger at a resident--my mom's dying room mate. I watched (and raised the issue) as this poor woman (room mate) was left with out being checked on regularly, was left unchanged in her own urine until the smell filled the room and the hallway, and i was ignored when I ran to tell staff she was rolling out of bed and going to fall. There was no urgency in response. There were, however, excuses. I have been in care long enough to know there is NO EXCUSE for neglect and abuse. Anyone knows that. I was able to get Mom out after 21 days to a new facility. Which was an immense relief. The staff at the new facility is kind and loving. They are happy humans, not sullen care staff who resent family presence, as was the case at Oakmont. Oakmont needs to be evaluated by the licensing board. The management is incapable of managing, in general, with some shining exceptions. Christina, the Health Services Director is exemplary. This review was hard to write as the memory is brought with sadness so a year has passed but, unless some dramatic changes have taken place, avoid Oakmont.

All trust was lost within the first 3 months of her arrival, and this review is to help others who are considering Oakmont of El Dorado Hills for the care of their loved ones. There is no claim they did anything illegal, nor that she had poor care, this review is about the moral and ethical relationship between a family and the care home they trust for their family. Following the first 3 months after the contract was signed, the payment debited was always more than what we were expecting. Although my brother who lives locally was nominated as Primary Contact, the Business Office Director agreed he would be happy to discuss mom's care with any of her children. He was contacted mid-December and queried about the continual surprises with invoicing. First step was to request the invoice breakdowns for the billing periods which I finally received after numerous chases and phone calls. Explanation for delay? My emails were not being received so an IT issue. The errors found on the billing were many. The room rental charge was being invoiced at $200 per month over the contracted rate. The Care Fee had been double charged in December. These two errors alone exceeded $1200.00. Although the contract was signed in early September to secure the room, Mom did not move in until mid-October. She was billed for 6 weeks at full rate for an empty room which we understood to be 'standard practise'. We have since found this is not an industry standard. No meals eaten, no housekeeping or laundry required, and yet still full prices charged. Upon reviewing the contract, there was contractual requirement for a reduced rate when the room is empty, but this was not given. Upon querying with the Business Office Director, a $5.00 per day amount was credited for the empty room. Illegal? No. But ethical or morally fair? By mid-January 2026, I had submitted several more queries from being charged for 2 rooms at full rate on the day of a room move to why a discount that was given on the first room she occupied was then taken away, without notice or comment, when she moved to a more suitable room. The final breach of trust came at the end of January when it was decided by the Business Office Director and Facility Administrator that they were unable to communicate directly with me anymore. I was not the nominated Primary Care person so responses to my queries went to my brother who had to forward them on to me. From mid-December it was OK for me to discuss billing, 6 weeks later it's no longer acceptable? This is one way to stop awkward questions I suppose. In this last communication of 27 January, we were promised no more billing surprises, in writing. The following day we were informed by the Health Services Director that my mother's Care Fees had been reassessed and were going up immediately by over $700 per month. This following an assessment in December when it was confirmed they would remain the same. I'm not sure whether the Business Office Director does not communicate with his fellow Directors or he deliberately intended to mislead us with his no more surprises confirmation. Neither option is good when your family care is under consideration, so we decided at that time Mom needed to move out. If you are reviewing Oakmont of El Dorado Hills for one of your loved ones care, do ensure you fully understand their charging basis as it is solely focused on their profit. Fairness is not in the equation. Not illegal, just unethical in my opinion. Reviewing every line of every invoice is critical. If we had not scrutinised the invoices, I am positive Oakmont would never have identified the series of overcharging and billing errors we experienced. Credit was received but not once did we receive an apology, or explanation, for these errors that amounted to almost $1500. in just 8 weeks of residency. Be very wary.
