Eskaton is a wonderful place. There is not enough space here to say why but I'll try... my mom is…read more79 and disabled due to a stroke but can do her own things except needs help with mobility, transportation, help if she were to fall. She lived in Merced with my dad (married 55 years) and he suddenly passed away. We had to hurriedly find her a senior residence closer to me or my sister with the 24 hour front desk, pull cord in the bathroom and pendant to wear around her neck to push a button for emergencies. Eskaton has all that and more! My sister also lives very close by so the location was perfect. Let's start with Joey, the first person I spoke to on the phone who runs the entrance area/front desk - he had no idea who I was or what we'd been through and he was just the friendliest kindest voice ever. He needed to transfer me to Latoya to inquire about apartments, but I already had a great feeling about it just because of how Joey treated me in that first interaction. Then Latoya was also extremely friendly, empathetic and more than happy to take the time to go over in detail how Eskaton works, which apts were available, pricing, and emailed me floor plans and the Eskaton calendars with meals and daily activities. She was glad to reserve the apt mom wanted even before we could get paperwork/deposit back to her, being out of town and at this time still dealing with my dad's passing, his service, packing to move...they both made a terrible situation into an exciting and welcoming new start. Tristin was next, helping to formalize paperwork and just the sweetest kindest person. They answered all my million questions and Latoya took a video and pictures of the apartment so mom could plan and feel more comfortable about the move. My mom LOVES it here. The place is classy and decor is beautiful. I'm jealous of her adorable apartment! The residents make a point to chat and say hello in the hallway, elevator, dining room. She loves all the activities - seated exercise classes, Ted talk viewings, live music, libraries on 2 floors. Most of all she feels very, very safe and welcomed. The food is delicious and we eat with my mom all the time. They also encourage (if people want to) to sit with others in the dining area. My mom right away started off with a nice group of women including her neighbor across the hall. She enjoys the social aspect of the meals. Often she is very busy with activities and doesn't have time to call us! Helen in the dining room is wonderfully sweet and so fun to talk to. She seats you and comes to every table to say hi and chat for a moment, which we love and I think for those who choose to eat solo it's nice to still interact. At Eskaton you're never really alone, there are friendly staff and residents everywhere. Toni in housekeeping is also friendly and kind and does an amazing job, my mom loves talking with her and seeing her weekly. My mom's apartment is always super clean and fresh thanks to Toni! Tom and Roberto who do all the repairs/hook up cable/hang pictures are so sweet and funny...my mom always talks about how they helped her decorate and they even put together a new walker for her so she didn't have to wait to use it! Recently, believe it or not, my sister actually started having stroke in their lobby!! My mom called it and yelled to Joey they needed an ambulance, he called right away and this is the whole entire reason my sister will make a full and fast recovery. The hospital said it's miracle-it is!! I want to also call out Matthew, Ellen, Daniel, Minayah, Arsel as just so sweet and wonderful. They have helped us out multiple times with literally everything. The building is super secure, the residents are watched over carefully, it's just perfect. I will also share that my mom has only been there 1.5 months and already this is our impression.

My review is for the activity coordination/ enrichment director. I left several messages for the…read morecoordinator over a couple months span asking if there was interest in my music students performing for the residents at Eskaton. (They have performed here before and it was a great success.) The coordinator never returns calls or messages. I never received word back, even after leaving my information and contact number and a voicemail several times (at the desk as well). It is really disappointing to not be acknowledged, have no communication whatsoever and a disappointment for my students not to have an opportunity to play at this time. The former director from last year was very prompt and welcoming.

But one your health begins to fail, you discover that services you need are extremely costly. $750 a month to be escorted to the dining room. If you need your blood pressure taken for a medicine, that's $800 a month. Need assistance to get dressed, shower, take meds, or pretty much anything, that's all extra. This why so many people leave Carlton as their need for assistance grows.

Staff has been walking us through these with smiles, sensitivity to concerns, could no have asked for more. Dining hall menus and service also tops. Some people are quick to criticize. Having been exposed to community food service on a corporate level most of my adult life I have never had the variety of food choices, the caring service, and the cheerful setting as is a daily experience at the Elk Grove Carlton. Staff support is very good. Would have been helpful to have a day for orientation by the entire staff. Individually, we've met most of the staff. However, in some cases still not certain who to contact when there's a need. Bottom line, given the aches, pains, and needs associated with advancing age, we are pleased with the accommodations and the care received. Walter T

This is a delayed review. I found my notes and decided I needed to put this out there. First of…read moreall, I eventually found out that this place is investor owned and anytime you have that it is all about the mighty dollar and how cheaply you can run it. We placed our mom in the facility based on prior experiences, albeit a few years before that, from her friends. We checked in on a Saturday which they knew in advance. The room key didn't work, the locked drawer in the bathroom key didn't work because the drawer was broken. The bathroom sink faucet sprayed water all over the place when turned on. The marketing representative met us and gave us the key. There was never a nurse to check in and evaluate our mother as is per protocol when arriving to an assisted living facility. Out mother was total care needing assistance to do everything and we were paying top tier level fees and an "additional" fee on top of that as the points exceeded the highest tier. Never mentioned during signing. The handbook had no info on wi fi hookup password or even a menu. The front desk person, who was eating at the desk, didn't know or who to ask. Over the course of the next week we were there every day because staff was not checking on her every hour as we were paying them to do. The care aides were called, even with us sitting there, and it took them an hour to arrive. Then the request was made for the medication that had to be managed and she had to notify the med tech. That took another hour. By then the next medication was needed and resulted in more delays. Took two requests to get the nurse; not sure if it was an RN; to come evaluate my mother as you would expect. Also to complain of the lack of care as promised. Food brought to the room was placed in a bag. Our mother needed assistance to open it and they just left it. Care giver was asked to do bathing and they had to leave and go ask a supervisor. How is this not noted? Caregiver wouldn't move commode from bathroom to bedroom. A caregiver answered during the night and told my mother that she was the only one for two floors. Another one was 7 months pregnant and the only one at night and couldn't do any lifting at all. We over heard on entry two employees talking in a break room while we waiting by the elevator. One said he would never have his family here. And then they saw us and tried to retract what they had said. Not great when you were in the middle of moving the furniture into the facility. No care plan was ever transferred to the chart and the nurse came back the next day due to illness. Who was covering for the nurse out sick? No care plan given to us in writing. Asked repeatedly for copies of the documents signed prior to arrival. Ability to reach the director was close to impossible. Phone calls to facility sent us to voice mail with no call. eventually was able to find the email contact via the California department listing. We stated we were taking our mother out of the facility for her safety on that Friday. Never able to speak to her. We felt we would lose our 30 day minimum notice fees but it didn't matter as all we cared about was her care and safety. Eventually they gave us back all of the entry fee and rent/fees/care fees minus the one week that she stayed there. I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE TO GO TO THIS PLACE! In fact I have told people to tell other people. I don't know how people can sleep at night knowing what goes on in their place of employment. How can they work there? I know of people who had issues as well that I won't go into detail here. I am sure you can call the state and find all of the complaints that have been lodged against them.
