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.

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.

Lidia was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our dad's many needs, and stuck with us during some difficult times when he was active at night and falling and injuring himself to the extent that he had to go to the ER by ambulance, which she quickly called thank goodness. My sister has especially high standards, and Lidia exceeds them, so we're so glad that when our dad needed hospice, Lidia received another hospice waiver at our request and wad therefore able to receive him back from the hospital. It's a nice clean and quiet, orderly home, and we're so blessed that we found her back in September. Highly recommended! If you want to talk to me, she can give you my phone number and I'd be glad to share more.

Obviously this caregiver was never trained properly on how to get an elder patient into the car. She fully did not safely put my mom in the car before she pulled her safety walker away in the trunk to turn around and let my mom fall under her car in the garage on hard concrete. She suffered from an open fracture in her ankle that was nearly twisted off her body along with a fractured femur, all of this leading up to a slow and extremely painful passing on hospice. I loose my mother but Chaimer still has a job just because she wanted to get in the car 30 minutes faster. Absolutely unacceptable.

HandsOn Sacramento is the best place to look if you are interested in volunteering in the city (or…read moreanywhere nearby - they cover the whole region). They have a (free!) website where you can make a profile and sign up to volunteer. They partner with almost all nonprofits in Sacramento, so if you are interested in serving food, helping animals or bettering parks/neighborhoods (or anything really), you can check online to see what/when the next project is. They also host some big, city-wide events, like volunteering on MLK Day. Those are pretty fun because so many people show up. There is a Hands On (whatever city) in many places all over the country. I like Hands On Sacramento because: 1, I used to volunteer with them all the time 2. The staff you deal with is great 3. They partner with so many amazing orgs (and there are so many absolutely fantastic organizations in Sacramento - one of the things I am actually impressed by in this generally unimpressive city) 4. The big events they host are fun and they accomplish a lot So yeah, if you are looking to volunteer for a day, for a few months or even longer, you should definitely start your search by looking at what Hands On Sacramento has to offer.
