There is no strong urine smell when walking in. The residents are always busy. My mother in law has dementia and this disease makes her upset and anxious along with being verbally aggressive.

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.

My only knock, and I understood why, was the lack of balconies or patios in the units. I work as an activities coordinator for a well-regarded community in Reno. Every unit, AL included has a patio.

My wonderful mom is 92 years old and has Alzheimer's. She has been a resident at The Meadows at…read moreCountry Place for six years and has received excellent and compassionate care throughout those six years. As her condition has shifted and worsened, the care has adjusted and continued at the same high level. The owner, Rangi Giner, an active and on-site owner, treats her employees and all residents like family. And I've observed nothing but respect, kindness and patience for my mom and the other residents in all my visits throughout the years. There is very little staff turnover. So it's been easy to develop relationships with those caring for Mom. And it's easy to see how consistency in staffing has translated into consistency of care. I have felt like Rangi and her staff have not just been looking out for Mom's welfare, but mine, too, during these challenging six years. They do the basics well. They keep the place very clean. They get the residents up and groomed, out and about, and moving. They provide good, basic and well-balanced meals. There is music and activities. And they keep me informed with any changes in Mom's behavior and health. They do the intangibles well. They treat each resident as an important individual, so they adjust care and food and schedule, etc, based on each resident's needs. The staff always have smiles on their faces -- always. They have cheerful voices. There is kindness in the air. And it's pretty remarkable that it has been consistent for six years. The staff works together, helping each other, so things don't fall through the cracks. Perfect? No. There is no perfect. Just compassionate people working hard and doing their best. I feel very fortunate that I chose The Meadows for my mom's care and well-being. It's a special place.

I can't say enough wonderful things about The Meadows at Country Place. After a heartbreaking…read moreexperience at a facility that lacked proper memory care training, we were incredibly fortunate to find this community. My parents have now been here for three years, and we are constantly amazed at the level of care, compassion, patience and professionalism shown by every staff member. The caregivers are well-trained and genuinely kind, and it shows in how safe, happy, and thriving my parents are. The activities and entertainment are thoughtful and fun, and the long-term staff retention says everything about how this place is run. Our doctor once called Ranji and her team "dementia whisperers"--and he was absolutely right. The Meadows is a rare gem and we are grateful for them everyday.

I called American River Care Home today as I am looking for a place for my dad. They let me know…read morethat they did not have any availability, but directed me to call their administrator Harue. I called and was met with the one of the kindest humans I have met on this journey of trying to find care for my elderly parent. Harue spent almost an hour on the phone with me giving me tips on how to find good places for my dad and even went out of her way to set us up with a time to tour another place that had an available spot for my dad. I can tell that Harue genuinely loves what she does and truly cares about people. While I'm sad they don't have any availability at this time, I got off the phone happy to know that there are still people who care about taking care of people. Thank you Harue! I can see why you have such high reviews

We came from another facility that was horrid and this facility made the move as smooth as possible. The caregivers actually care about residents and were immensely helpful and getting my grandmother acclimated and caring for her like family when she became ill.

My family and I were very pleased with how the family was taken care of and other residents seemed genuinely happy. Prices are comparable, if not better than the local area.

From the moment my grandma moved into Oakmont of Carmichael, we knew she was exactly where she needed to be. Lindy, who oversees the facility, is truly exceptional. She is kind, compassionate, accommodating, and genuinely cares about both the residents and their families. During every interaction, she made us feel heard, supported, and valued. Her leadership is reflected in the culture of the entire community. What stood out most to me was the staff in Memory Care. Every single person went above and beyond for my grandma. They were attentive, patient, loving, and treated her with dignity and respect. It never felt like they were simply doing a job--it felt like they truly cared about her as a person. As a family member who spent a great deal of time at the facility, I had the opportunity to get to know many of the caregivers, staff members, residents, and families. The warmth and genuine kindness I witnessed every day was something special. My grandma loved living there. There were always thoughtful activities to bring joy to the residents, from fun events like Mocktail Mondays to musical guests and entertainment throughout the week. The staff work hard to create meaningful moments and a sense of community for everyone who lives there. As my grandma's health declined, the care and compassion shown to her never wavered. Knowing that she spent her final days surrounded by people who genuinely cared about her brings our family an incredible amount of comfort. We will never forget the kindness, patience, and love that was shown to her during that time. To everyone at Oakmont of Carmichael: thank you. Thank you for caring for my grandma, for treating her with dignity, for supporting our family, and for making a difficult chapter of life a little easier. You made a difference in her life and in ours. She loved it there, and we will always be grateful that she called Oakmont home.

This was the third place she had lived in during 2025 and we've finally found a place that we all like! I'm super impressed by the professionalism of the entire staff. The Executive Director, Lyndee, is amazing - friendly & energetic and is always available to answer questions, address concerns, hold an family meeting, or just catch up. All of the front desk staff are always smiling and it's cute how they automatically open the front door for you when they see you about to walk in. The staff in Traditions is on top of it... they check in on mom frequently and encourage her to get out of her apartment and participate in activities. When she declines, they'll visit with her a bit in her apartment to make sure she's doing ok. Linda, Gilda and Erick are standouts that my mom really, really likes (that's saying a lot, too!) They've called me a couple times when mom refuses to take her meds (usually she's confused and thinks she's already taken them) or if she's upset and crying. Since I'm so close by, I can pop over there to help her out and keep her company. I'm so glad mom moved to Oakmont Carmichael and it has relieved a lot of our stress to know that she is so-well cared for!

Where to begin!!!!!..... if you are considering your family member move in here or family/ friend…read moreto find employment here; I strongly recommend you DO NOT: staff members coming to work intoxicated and high with their eyes glazed over. Staff coming to work late around 15 to 45 minutes late about everyday and leaving when and as they wish; no repercussions for it preferential treatment to the point it affecting job performance and team work. Managers cursing/ inappropriately yelling at staff. executive director expecting and demanding medtechs pass medicines and complete all treatments (insulin, eye drops, creams, bandages, etc) in a certain amout of time which results in med techs giving wrong medicines and documenting med errors. Staff does not have appropriate training and there is terrible communication skills. Managers do not encourage and do not support their team towards quality work or having proper resources to do thier job properly. the marketing and the executive director too busy riding in their tesla putting up a front and saving face, yet cannot be professionals and respectful to be a good example for staff or other managers; let alone focus on the issues at hand. Priorities right!!!!????Definitely Incompetent! Always short staffed, residents waiting over an hour just to use the bathroom. Residents falling a lot, which results in injuries where family has been suing this place for couple years now. Rumors about building being shut down/ sold out which is a concern for job security/ lay offs. The owner and executive director bluntly denying it, and lying to residents and familiesno wellness director (nurse) in the building. care givers sleeping instead of actually care giving. medtechs are overworked: expected to care give without extra compensation or support. kitchen staff expected to care give, again without any extra compensation or proper training. family members yelling and cursing at staff especially medtechs regarding concerns that managers should be handling. some care givers sitting around on their phones majority of the shift, not working properly or working as a team. Care director does not manage the department well, instead blames and puts more responsibility on other staff (kitchen and medtechs). the medication department is terribly functioning (if you could call it that) without a manager. Working in this community is highly toxic, mentally draining and physically unhealthy and demanding. if you're sick, managers don't care, they will demand you to still work and expect you to find coverage for yourself. doesn't matter how much notice you give for request time off, don't plan on any vacations, your requests will be denied without any reason or acknowledgement unless you are kissing up. This community doesn't acknowledge, doesn't respect good, honest hard working staff. If you're friends with the managers/ kiss up to one or all of them than you will be rewarded, Otherwise you're going to be very unhappy and miserable at this job; which barely pays what you're worth.
