My 68 year old husband had knee replacement therapy on April 1st. His pt was set up through this…read morecompany five days later by Rachel, who came to our house. A therapist named Bogdon was assigned to continue the therapy. Bogdon came twice a week, and I noticed he was only staying in our house for 30 minutes maximum. (The ortho surgeon had said the sessions would run 45-60 minutes) During that 30 minutes, Bogdon also spent time taking vitals and checking in with Bill, my husband. On the third week, Bill asked this man about the shortened sessions. The man replied: 1. "I have to get in 8 sessions per day to make the living I need to make." 2. "I've scheduled my sessions on the hour, so I have to leave early enough in order to get to my next session in town." 3. "Most of the senior patients I work with cannot handle more than 30 minute sessions." 4. "If you do not like the way I am doing it, find another therapist at a different company." In addition, there were times that my husband would look out the front window at the time Bogdon was supposed to be starting (on the hour!), and would see him in his car, just sitting there. It looked like he was looking down at his phone. Then he would come in the house, late. After my husband brought up with Bogdon the issue of the shorter sessions, the next week, a NEW therapist suddenly showed up to work with him! Unfortunately, that therapist only was able to see him for ONE session that week. However, he came for the full hour of time. My husband started with a new physical therapist (and company) this past week, and said it was like a "night and day" difference! The therapist was dedicated, caring, on time, and effective. My husband wished he had not WASTED the first four weeks of his recovery with Sequoia and Bogdon.

Today I had the chance to tour Ellore Santa Clara, with Joyce Aquino--their Executive…read moreDirector--personally showing us around. Honestly, I walked away both impressed and thoughtful. Ellore is the kind of senior living community that sets a high bar. It's beautiful, with a library where the books actually change every month based on what residents want to read, a real movie theater, and even a penthouse. But what really stood out to me was the mood--staff were actually happy to be there, and it showed in the way they interacted with everyone. You could sense that residents are genuinely seen and valued. Of course, the level of comfort and care here isn't for everyone-- and I know that. But for those who can access / afford it, it feels far from institutional. What made the visit even more meaningful was the open conversation not just about business, but to find ways they can give back and support the larger community. I left feeling hopeful about what's possible when people come together with the right intentions.

I've intended to write this review for quite a while. We were living in these apartments when Priya…read moreLiving first purchased them a couple of years ago and stayed there about one year under their management. My wife and I are public school teachers with three children under the age of 7 at the time. We expressed both a safety concern and a concern about family accommodation to them a few months after they took over ownership. The response we received was pretty charged and addressed from a person who referred to himself elsewhere as the "founder and CEO." Per yelp policy I won't publish the person's name. After observing some concerning actions (or lack thereof) by Priya ownership in their treatment of other tenants with whom we were close, we mentioned to Priya living in advance we would potentially write a social media review of their business. I thought it was important to post an excerpt from that response from the CEO in case it is helpful to anyone to understand the philosophy of management and their attitude toward customers. It also might explain the limited yelp reviews (I must admit that I felt a little cautious about posting this - not a lot of extra money sitting around a family of teachers to defend against SLAP lawsuits). Excerpt from letter from "CEO and Founder" of Priya Living: "Be aware that if you choose to publicly make false and irresponsible statements about our actions and intentions... we will immediately initiate a defamation lawsuit against you, and pursue it aggressively." Even though we had many experiences to share, one of the reasons we had not posted this earlier was because we actually really liked the onsite manager Priya Living, named Selva. As a caring and customer-oriented individual, he seemed a contrast to the attitude and philosophy of ownership. Our kids and family considered him and his wife great friends. Shortly after we left, we heard from Selva that he had been fired. While quite sad, it was not surprising based on our other interactions with Priya Living. Priya Living seems to have a somewhat "we-know-best" top-down management style, so I'm guessing Selva's willingness to listen to tenants and make positive changes likely made them uncomfortable. I have chosen not to include some of our specific concerns and observations (neither positive or negative) since we didn't find Priya Living was very receptive to constructive feedback. Feel free to send me a private message though if you feel this information would be helpful to you in making a decision on whether to move into the complex yourself or have a relative move in. You might wonder why I gave 3 stars when I obviously had some major concerns about the ownership. I actually did have some positive things to say about the company and their management, but I just didn't feel I could write a totally objective review with the previously-mentioned lawsuit threat. Three stars reflects our overall experience: essentially a mix of significant concerns about ownership with some positive experiences regarding improvements to the grounds and facilities.

Our family is grateful that Tender Rose has consistently provided us with capable and compassionate…read moreMemory Care Professionals (MCPs). Most recently, we made a special request for a couples care MCP who could bring dementia expertise for my mother with Alzheimer's, along with mobility and orthopedic experience to support my father, a wheelchair user who lost the use of one hand due to a stroke. Before this new MCP's start day, my mother suddenly fell and broke her hip, requiring a 12-week recovery that began with three weeks in a San Rafael skilled nursing facility (SNF). Our Tender Rose MCP quickly built a connection with my mother while attending her daily PT and OT sessions at the SNF and successfully advocated for her to receive more attentive care there. Our Tender Rose Care Manager met in person with the SNF physician team, while also supporting our MCP in preparing the home for my mother's return. Before discovering Tender Rose, our family often felt overwhelmed. It is clear that Tender Rose has spent years building thoughtful processes and systems that allow staff to listen and respond quickly to client needs by phone, text, email, or software app. Tender Rose's efforts have allowed both of my disabled parents to continue aging in place in the home they love, with a daily quality of life that remains enjoyable and dignified. There is no other agency I know of that I can recommend as highly as Tender Rose.

It is not an affectation to call their staff "Memory Care Professionals" instead of simple caregivers.

For various reasons it has been difficult to staff up my uncle's case but the staffing managers are on it constantly. Special thanks to Claudia, a skilled and experienced case manager compassionate towards both my uncle and us family members. Also Rashima and Emma.

Recently my 89-year-old Mom fell and broke her hip…read more During her recuperation we realized that it just wasn't realistic for her to live at home alone anymore, and that we needed to find her an assisted living facility. Not knowing the first thing about these facilities, I reached out to Alan Brauner at Senior Seasons. I can't even begin to explain how helpful he was. He listened to our situation, provided me with insight and contact information on the local facilities, explained what I needed to know, and what to consider when reaching out to these prospective places. His advice was invaluable. He was always there for me, whenever I had questions. He was super responsive, emailing back or calling right away. And through this process my mom kept changing her mind about where she wanted to live (mid-peninsula near her friends, south bay near me), and so our requirements kept changing. Through it all Alan was patient and positive - something I really needed during this stressful time. I seriously have no idea how I would have handled this whole situation without him. I highly recommend Alan and Senior Seasons.

My mom has lived at Golden Heritage for almost 2.5 years ever since she broke her hip and some…read moreother issues which made living at home with me more difficult. My brother and I had looked at a number of possible assisted living facilities and Golden Heritage was my first choice. It is relatively close by to where I live and work, has an Asian staff with many speaking Mandarin (as well as I believe Catonese). There are also some Japanese and possibly some Korean residents as well. We had also considered Aegis Gardens in Fremont, but it was further away and higher cost. The place is independently owned and run by a very nice family with experience in running health care facilities. The place also felt less "corporate." The facilities were converted from a "European" style hotel - with each of the resident floors having a big common space - so it doesn't look like a typical assisted living facility or hotel. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. It took a few months for my mom to adjust living there, but she's come to enjoy living there. My mom enjoys the activities including simple daily exercises, some crafts, weekly outings to pick up small groceries (like fruit for small fridge in room) and household items, and bingo. And, often on the weekends there are small performances by local groups like youth or senior church groups I think. There is free wifi and my mom regularly streams videos from her iPad which I understand is common. Having just broken her hip my mom started off in the assisted living floor of Golden Heritage, but a few months after transitioned to an independent living floor which helped keep the costs down. Despite being in independent living they do check in on her and have called my brother or I when they have noticed problems such as falls or strange behavior; we monitored more carefully and eventually had a medical issue taken care of. It definitely gives me piece of mind knowing that she's being watched over. All in all I'm very satisfied with Golden Heritage. I think if you're looking into senior facilities for you elderly loved one you should definitely check out multiple places as they will each feel a little different to you. I wouldn't state that Golden Heritage is for everyone, but it's been working very well for my mom.
