    If you love the elderly person in your life, do not send them to this facility. On the surface, it…read moreseems well run, clean, beautiful grounds and all of that. But beware. The doctor in charge, Dr. Bahl, is only required to visit the people in the nursing facility once a month and apparently he will not bend that rule even if a patient is sick and needs attention. I placed my 85 year old dad in this facility after a quadruple bypass. He was in very delicate condition. He left the hospital looking and feeling pretty good all things considered but within one week, his health went down dramatically. He quit eating. He lost weight. He looked horrible. I became worried. I asked the nurses to have the doctor visit him. They said he only comes around once a month. I then asked them to have the doctor call me. He never did. I spoke to the physical therapist and told her I was deeply concerned and wanted him discharged. She spoke to this Dr. Bahl and then told me he denied my request for my dad's release!!! Can you believe it?? Without even speaking to me or visiting my father. It was like living a nightmare. My dad fell! He fell TWO NIGHTS in a row waiting for someone to take him to the bathroom. No one would answer the call light so he tried to go to the bathroom on his own and fell. Twice. He injured himself and was bleeding from his catheter. The nurses were extremely rude to me when I complained. They still did not get the doctor over there to see my dad even though he was bleeding. Horrified and afraid, I set up appointments for my father with doctors outside the facility and took him to his regular physician even though the head nurse told me that Medi-Care would not pay for his seeing any other physician than this absent Dr. Bahl and that I should just wait until he made his rounds. I asked her when that would be, she said she did not know. WTF????? So I took him anyway and thank god I did. Check this out. My dad's regular physician ran a blood test on him "stat" because he looked so sick and out of it. Turned out my dad's sodium level had dropped to a dangerous 107. He was admitted to the hospital on an emergency basis. My dad could have had a stroke. He could have died. He was so delirious he didn't know where he was. It was heartbreaking. This "skilled" nurses at the facility didn't even notice. Do not ever send your loved one to this place. I am still contemplating whether I should sue their asses for this. I am so angry. But I'm dealing with my dad's fragile health right now and will have to think about it later. He is doing much better being cared for by inexperienced family members than the "skilled nursing" he received at The Fountains. He's gained weight and is well again after being re-hospitalized for 4 days. While I was there visiting my poor dad, I personally witnessed the people who run this place leaving the residents parked in the lobby sleeping in their wheelchairs with no supervision. Nothing. Just abandoned there. Poor things. I would never send anyone I loved to this house of horrors.

    After researching available facilities on the Medicare website, this was not the facility I wanted…read more IT fails on one key area- NURSING. Maybe this is why it was the only one with an available bed. Most of the Nurses are awesome but they are under staffed. This is a big problem for elderly who have any cognitive issues. My mother has a difficult time with finding the nurses button and if it wasn't for her roommate being awesome, mom would have attempted to use the bathroom herself several times and that would be a disaster. Their remedy would be an alarm connected to the wheel chair- which can mean too late because they already stood up and will be on the floor. They left my mother in a wheelchair for 4 hours- post surgery after laying for 2 weeks. When I complained, they said it was part of therapy. When I agreed that sitting was important but to go from laying to 4 hours in a wheel chair with the nurses button on the opposite of the bed; they looked at me as if my words were not welcome. I am a professional and know you have to choose words carefully if you desire a positive outcome but honestly, their head nurse was rude and seeminly narcissistic. That afternoon, a nurse who makes daily rounds just to change bandages told me mom had a bed sore starting on her lower back that wasn't there 2 days ago. I asked about the 4 hours in a wheelchair and she said "Yes, that would make sense based on where it is located". She was reserved with her remarks but whispered "you need to file a complaint". She also had to elevate moms legs with a pillow because her ankles were double swollen- also due to the wheelchair incident. I inquired as to if they monitor water intake because mom seemed a bit mentally impaired-- and I have learned over the years dehydration causes this-- I was told no they do not monitor. If you can- Put your loved one in River Valley in Live Oak. They got high marks on the medicare website above nationaal average and even nurses at Rideout Hospital had said they would put their parent there. Thats pretty bad when their own employees recommended it. Its an older facility, smaller, but the one on one care is there. They also have a doctor on site.

    Kelley is amazing! She gave us a list of potential Memory Care homes. She then made appointments…read morewith each site for us. We carefully assessed each place. We fell in love immediately with one service provider. I had decided 5 years ago that I would never place my relative in a 'home.' But, circumstances changed, and placement was medically necessary. Kelley was insightful and empathetic. She was also quick, which is a very important asset when one suddenly learns that insurance has stopped for the rehab facility. We were given only 3 days notice that the insurance company had determined our rehab stay was 'over!' Five stars for Kelley!! We used her service 5 months ago and we are still SUPER pleased with the Memory Care Home we selected.

    I knew my mom needed more care than I was able to provide after her hospital stay, but had no idea…read morewhere to look or what type of care was even available. Kelley with First Choice was the best choice our family could have made. Working with her was an absolute joy. She came to the hospital, spoke at length with my mom, addressed all of our concerns and gently explained the different types of care available. The options she presented were well thought out, explained in a kind and patient way, and made us feel confident in our decision to place mom at a board and care in Roseville. I'm happy to say she is thriving, and getting the proper nutrition and care she needs to recover. Thank you Kelley for finding the perfect spot for my mom and taking care of all the details. We are so grateful to have worked with you.

    My mom joined the Belhaven-Estate family in April of 2020 at the age of 96 as my health was…read moredeteriorating & I could no long provide the care she required. This was the absolute best decision of my life. The quality of care, communication between staff, friendships of staff & residents, the food, activities Belhave Estates is by far the highest quality care available in Northern CA. So personal my mom said she lived on a ranch. She had 2 chickens she could feed, horses to bring carrots to, rides in a Tesla, a carriage ride. I cant say enough. Get on the waiting list as its long. Go visit & see for yourself. You will be shocked... in the very best way. Belhaven Estates is a very intimate & a rare find.

    Belhaven was the best decision we made during my husband's illness. Dennis was diagnosed with GBM…read morebrain cancer in August 2018, fast forward to October 2019, he has completed all the standard of care for GBM and all treatments were completed. At the beginning of November he had a stroke and spends 21 days in re-hab center in Vallejo. On December 3, he gets released to come home. We hired 24 hour care at an exorbitant amount of money and it was not that helpful and awkward having someone in your house 24/7. His physical abilities were declining and we were forced to start looking for an elder care facility. We looked for almost three weeks before finding Belhaven with Monica and Dan. They came to our home to save us a trip. Upon explaining the services they offered, talking to Dennis about what he wanted for care and making both he and I feel comfortable with this horrible decision we made arrangements to move him. Dennis who was only 68 years old when he moved to Belhaven. At the time he was the only man living in the back house and was treated like a king. Not once did I ever regret our decision. All his needs were met by the staff with smiles, humor, compassion, empathy and tenderness. As his physical limitations worsened, his ability to communicate was starting to fail and still they all went beyond my expectations. I probably should mention he entered BelHaven the day the world shut down for COVID. Dennis passed peacefully in August 2020. Thank you Monica and Dan for taking such great care of the love of my life.
