Barely there a month and had to go to rehab for broken hip for 3 weeks. Traumatic situation happen to her on a Friday and she died the following Thursday. I can't prove anything, but know in my heart she was neglected for at least an hour before she was found. She just couldn't recover from that terrible situation. Suggestion to the team, take a picture when an incident occurs to learn from it. Follow thru with night time protocols to protect them. Put bed alarms somewhere to be heard at all times. If that is impossible, have someone sitting in nurses station or in hear shot of the alarms. Our loved ones are already in a strange place and don't understand the things they are going thru whether it is Dementia, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's. Pay your caretakers more then $17 an hour. Especially when residents are paying thousands and thousands of dollars for care. You say you care for your residents.....

Our family has had an absolutely wonderful experience with Cogir of Vacaville. My grandmother moved…read morein this past October, and from day one, the staff has been nothing short of amazing. They are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the residents--not just as individuals, but as family. What truly sets Cogir apart is the sense of community and the variety of activities offered. There is always something engaging going on, whether it's social events, games, or group activities that keep residents active, stimulated, and connected. It's comforting to know my grandmother is not only well cared for, but also happy, involved, and enjoying her days. The staff consistently goes above and beyond, creating a warm and welcoming environment. Communication has been excellent, and we always feel informed and reassured. Knowing that my grandmother is safe, supported, and thriving gives our entire family peace of mind. We are so grateful for the care and compassion shown at Cogir of Vacaville and would highly recommend this community to anyone looking for a senior living facility that truly prioritizes dignity, engagement, and quality of life.

My husband has gotten excellent care overall. He is understood and has been kept safe, clean, and satisfied. I respect the staff, and they show respect for my husband and me.

They are open to suggestions - I have a 40+ professional nursing career:) I am grateful for the individualized approach and the quick response to any changes they notice, so I can take action and get the care needed. The small population at 5 Acers means nothing goes unnoticed for long. This unique environment is a true blessing for our family.

Thank you to all at Five Acres for giving us hope in the care system

Your fliers were put out on Facebook at the perfect time, and gave wonder for details about times. When I arrived there with my 12-year-old, and seven-year-old, we were welcomed by wonder woman and other staff members with fresh made popcorn, drinks, and directions on how visit all the residents. It was wonderful to see the residents sitting outside with baskets full of candy as we walked by. They all met us with warm smiles and welcomes and I know they enjoyed us there as much as we enjoyed visiting. I grabbed a business card and have plans to take my children back to volunteer in the near future. Rather than just taking on Halloween, my children both saw people Who would not be able to see trick-or-treaters smiling and happy to See us. Can't wait to see you all soon and maybe stop by at Christmas to sing some songs... It might be a bit off key though!

No just a sales pitch but really asked about him as person. I really loved the backyards & how they all touch and converge. Feels like it's more open and free. My dad can take his dog on a walk and visit other houses. The houses are big but there was not much decoration. Kind of felt empty. No little Nick Nacks or cushions & pillows in the bay windows. Nothing to make it feel homey. Everything was clean just maybe too modern. There was not much going on in the first house, just a tv program on, no music & nothing else happening but the second house had an activity and it seemed livelier. But only 3 people were doing the craft. I really loved the friendly staff. I met some directors. Jamie directs the care was super funny & had such a great spirit. I would like my Dad to move here this summer. I know that Tasha and the other staff really work hands on and believe in their place. I love the communication we got and the open door policy. I feel like it's a great fit for someone like my dad who still wants to have some freedom but be safe.

I had hoped to use VMC's respite services for ongoing care for my mother, who has dementia and whom…read moreI care for full time. I was able to arrange a four-day short-term stay, but when I later requested additional respite time for the following month, I was told there was no availability. I understand that scheduling limitations can occur. However, when I first inquired about respite care, I was informed that there were two designated rooms for respite across each of the five communities. I later learned that this does not appear to be the case, and that availability is far more limited--potentially even restricted to a single room for the entire facility. When I asked about future openings, the business manager refused to give specific dates, which made planning impossible . As a memory care provider, I would expect a strong understanding of the demands placed on full-time caregivers of individuals with dementia, as well as the importance of caregiver respite and self-care. My experience so far has not reflected a consistent or clearly supported system for ongoing respite use. They are a for profit business that maximizes profits. There were also aspects of the admission process that felt unclear. The contract I was provided appeared primarily designed for long-term residency, and included fees that did not seem applicable to short-term respite stays. In addition, I was told that a new contract would need to be completed each time respite care is used. I also had the impression from a conversation with the executive director that respite is viewed primarily as a trial period for long-term placement rather than a recurring service option. While VMC does offer respite care, my experience suggests that it is only available when beds are not occupied by long-term residents, which makes it difficult to rely on it as an ongoing support service for caregivers like myself.

He is kind, compassionate, and attentive to the needs of each resident. Yoni takes the time to get to know each resident on a personal level and he treats them with the utmost respect and dignity. Yoni is always willing to lend a helping hand, no matter what the task may be. He is patient, understanding, and has a calming presence that helps put the residents at ease. Yoni takes pride in his work and it shows in the way he interacts with the residents and his attention to detail when it comes to their care. One of the things that sets Yoni apart is his ability to connect with the residents and make them feel special. He takes the time to listen to their stories and he always has a kind word or a smile to share. Yoni is truly a gem and we are lucky to have him as part of our team at Paramount Assisted Living. In conclusion, I highly recommend Yoni as a caregiver at Paramount Assisted Living. He is a compassionate and dedicated caregiver who truly cares about the well-being of his residents. Any resident or family member would be lucky to have him as their caregiver. Give Yoni a medal!!!

Residents with food on them, one laying in the floor, others on their bedding fully clothes in the same clothing for days at a time.

It's hard to find a decent place, but I'd suggest checking out other locations as this one takes the financial side over the patient care

The only way this facility could be considered a desirable place to live out your golden years, is…read moreif you haven't compared it to any other. The meals are substandard, the staff changes rapidly due to the fact that they are not qualified and seek better employment, the whole feel of the place is depressing. They spend a lot of money on image, but let the place fall apart. It is often voted best facility in Woodland because the administrators con every inmate to vote positive. When my mom decided that she needed to move into such a facility as this she choose The Califonian. At the time we did no comparing because she had made up her mind that that was the best. The units have no kitchen facilities except a sink. The first summer her unit reached a consistant 93 degrees regardless of having the cooling switch on. (We found out later the switch was not hooked up to anything. The administrators controlled the system) We eventually bought her a portable A/C rather than have her live so miserably. The frame of mind of these folks is don't complain, because there is so much you have to dend on them for. Any way there are to many things to mention than I can fit in this review. After her living there a year we had such a true sense of how horrible tbe place was we started looking around for a better facility. She is now in a place that is professionally run, has truely capable people working there, the cafeteria is more like a restaurant, the mood is amazing, and on top of that it is less expensive. All I can say is check around before you put your loved one in this hell hole. I can testify there are much better facilities for the same or less expenditure.

Wow so if you're love one get stuck on a chair they will not do something, you have to call ambulance. Unbelievable place.
