We are so grateful for the exceptional care Mom receives at Jazba. At 86 years old, she is…read morephysically healthy and remarkably fit -- her main challenges are related to memory. After three years of living with me, it became clear that Mom needed a higher level of structure, supervision, and social interaction than I could consistently provide at home. I began an extensive search, exploring nearly 40 different care options -- everything from large assisted living and memory care communities to smaller, private board-and-care homes specializing in dementia care. I asked tough questions about caregiver-to-resident ratios, staff turnover, nutrition, movement, music, routines, and social engagement. Jazba quickly rose to the top and became the gold standard by which I compared all other options. Here's why: A Warm, Homelike Environment: Each Jazba residence is a single-family home, full of light, warmth, and thoughtful design. Far from cold or clinical, they're inviting, clean, well-organized, and charming. Visitors and residents alike feel at home the moment they walk through the door. Nutritious, Family-Style Meals: Meals are prepared fresh each day and enjoyed together around the table. The menu follows the MIND diet -- rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and plant-based, high-fiber foods -- supporting both brain and overall health. Meaningful Daily Activities: Every day includes music, art, gentle exercise, fresh air, and light occupational therapy. Holidays, birthdays, and life milestones are celebrated with joy and creativity that rivals any kindergarten class -- in the best way possible. Field trips between homes build a sense of community and connection among residents. Unconditional Acceptance: Residents are met with patience, dignity, and respect -- always. Whether a story is told for the third time or a memory gets fuzzy, staff respond with kindness and compassion. This culture of acceptance extends to everyone in the home. After just a month at Jazba, my mom began speaking to me with more warmth and tenderness than I remember from my youth -- a transformation that still moves me deeply. Compassionate, Competent Care: The staff are not only incredibly kind, they're highly capable and organized. Detailed records are maintained for every resident, which allows them to tailor care and keep families and medical providers well-informed. Whole-Person Support: What sets Jazba apart is their commitment to the whole person -- not just the diagnosis. My mother is a lifelong Seventh-day Adventist, and her faith is central to her identity. I worried about how she'd feel when she couldn't attend church regularly. Jazba didn't miss a beat: the team helped arrange transportation when possible, and on Saturdays when she couldn't go, they streamed the service on the big TV so she and other residents could participate together. When I visited later that day, I found them making crafts and listening to uplifting music. It was beautiful. Connection and Communication: Every week, I receive text messages and photos of Mom -- laughing, doing light housework (which she adores), creating art, or exercising with others. She's been at Jazba for four months now, and I can honestly say: this is the happiest I've seen her in over a decade.

FANTASTIC thus far. Better surgeon, much better physical therapist and home nurses. Healing much faster this time, walking steady, managing pain so much better and getting GREAT PT support. Christy has been so much better with work out. She stays here for a good 30 to 45 minutes and always explains which muscle or soft tissue is doing what action. She actually stays and practices the routine with you. Got some short but soothing massage to the under part of my TKR and good tips for balance and to stay on walker, especially during the night. That tip save me falling at 2 am one night! I highly recommend this team that i worked with on my 2nd TKR. Thanks everybody.

We ended up at Sutter's ER then had one home health visit from a few departments. One person was abrasive, the other was rushed the only one who seemed to care was the guy in PT. Their social workers who are supposed to help you find benefits for your parents are unfriendly, the least empathetic of any I have ever experienced. She even lamented about her problems and complaining about her job as if I was wrong for wanting figure out how to navigate CA healthcare. In WA my mom had Medicaid that paid for her to be in an Adult Family Home, she also had in home health and they were all really nice. Everyone wanted to help the patient:elderly but here no one wants to tell you what is available. I have been finding bits and pieces from people I encounter. There should be a packet or a hospital, county support person who navigates Medicaid. Helps you find, Boarding homes, assisted living or in home care covered by Medicaid benefits because your parents are eligible for these benefits. What is wrong here? Even the skilled nursing facility hasn't even mentioned Medicaid they just say her insurance is up go pay out of pocket for in home or boarding but they take Medicaid and this is Woodside... they sent me to a dump of a boarding home where a dog was locked in a utility building while I toured the place. Can Sutter do better? My mom has Medicaid in place in Washington good until April next year.
