He said to me "these people seem like they really care" and I agree. They went above and beyond to make my dad feel comfortable and continue to do that on a daily basis. He can be very grumpy so this is not an easy task. Megan showed my sister and I around and was so patient as we wanted to see every room available. Megan answered all of our questions and really put us at ease . Amanda did the paperwork with my dad and was extremely patient and kind to him. Olivia at the front desk always has a smile and is so helpful to me as I live in San Diego so I call there a lot. These women are top notch and I thank them with all of my heart. My dad loves the food and the other residents. The residents were so welcoming to the new kid on the block. I just love this place for my Dad.

Senior Apartments that are not too cheap…read more ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While waiting for the Bus (long story since a had a car), I happen to notice that these looked like a Seniors place... since I am getting to that age sooner than later, I asked the nice older couple on the bench about the place. They said it was OK, but the max cost based on income was at most like $900/ mo for a one bedroom. Based on the shabby exterior of the building, I though that was quite pricey for crappy Modesto. It was likely more expensive than owning a simple condo or small house in the area, after you paid off the mortgage. Anyway, since our likely retirement pension would be right between poor & modest, it would be likely that we would have to pay $900/mo. This did not sound any cheaper than other apartments in the area. It is sad that you are encourage to save in 401k & such and then you get penalized for saving "too much" when you get old.... they do not factor in the ridiculous rise in healthcare costs for which you need a huge amount in savings...or the eventual near bankruptcy of Social Security Very Sad indeed....only the very rich can afford to retire with comfort & security in this country... Even people who worked their whole career saving lives & helping mankind...(.and paying tons of taxes to support prisoners, deadbeats, drug addicts, etc..) do not get a break. Ugh!

Wonderful frontline staff, but recent changes and administrative disconnect are concerning…read more Our family is deeply grateful for the frontline team at Dale Commons. The caregivers, med techs, maintenance workers, housekeeping, laundry, dining staff, and concierge are absolutely wonderful. They are kind, attentive, and whatever shifts are happening behind the scenes, our mother's daily care has thankfully remained unaffected. However, we have serious concerns regarding the current executive leadership under the new director, Patty. In stark contrast to previous executive directors-who were frequently seen out of their offices, chatting with residents in the dining hall, bistro, or lobby, Patty is rarely seen. Having been in the community almost daily for many months, I wouldn't even be able to recognize her in a lineup. Furthermore, direct communication is a challenge; emails regarding community concerns go unanswered by her, although she apparently directs staff to try and resolve the problem. A recent policy change highlighted in the August 20 community meeting minutes, adds to these concerns. Management announced that Amazon packages will no longer be delivered to resident apartments, but will instead be left on a divider counter for residents to pick up themselves. Dale Commons is an assisted living facility. Many residents rely on walkers, wheelchairs, scooters, and canes for mobility. Expecting elderly residents with assistive devices to carry packages back to their rooms-including essentials like sanitary items, given that many no longer drive or have local family-is entirely impractical and creates an unnecessary burden. While transition to new apps or operational rules may be corporate decisions, they should make life easier for seniors, not harder. Overall, the general mood and warmth of the community environment feels diminished compared to previous years. We deeply appreciate the daily heroes who care for our mom, but leadership needs to step out of the office, improve communication and reconsider policies that directly impact resident accessibility and well being.

My mother has been a resident of this community for over nine years, and during that time, I have…read moreinteracted with many different staff members and members of management. Unfortunately, I have never encountered someone who has demonstrated the level of disrespect and lack of professionalism that I have experienced with Patricia Hogan. In my experience, Patricia has been consistently rude and dismissive toward family members, disrespectful in the way she communicates with employees, and seemingly unconcerned with how her behavior affects the residents themselves. These are individuals and families who deserve to be treated with compassion, patience, dignity, and respect--not made to feel as though they are an inconvenience. After more than nine years of having my mother in this community, I know the level of care and professionalism this community is capable of providing. Patricia's behavior does not reflect those standards. In my opinion, she is simply not the right fit for a community that is responsible for the care, comfort, and well-being of seniors. Leadership in senior living requires compassion, professionalism, respect, and the ability to communicate appropriately with residents, families, and employees. Based on what I have personally witnessed and experienced, I have serious concerns about Patricia's ability to demonstrate those qualities. I sincerely hope these concerns are taken seriously because the residents, their families, and the hardworking employees deserve leadership that treats them with the respect they deserve.

If you are looking into care here, don't be mislead by their predatory and inaccurate prices…read morelisted. I received a referral from "A Place for Mom", who stated that their prices "start at" $4.5k/month for a shared room, and $6k/month for a private room. The correct prices are $5.5k/month for shared room, and $7k/month for a private room. When confronted about these price differences, The Grove doesn't control the prices listed through "A Place For Mom".... Yet they are partnered with them. There is also a $3,000/moth "Community Fee" that was not advertised anywhere. Additionally, they claim "Our services are all inclusive. This means that all of our residents' needs are met for one monthly amount. Unlike other care homes that utilize a point system to add charges to their monthly amount, we do not assess additional charges for any added assistance. Our residents' families appreciate the predictability of one fair charge per month for all services their loved ones receive here at The Grove." This is NOT accurate. They nickel and dime for basic needs and things they list as amenities. In addition to their $3,000/month community fee, they charge $300/month for Medication Management (what individual needing Memory Care could possible manage their own medications???). Medication management is a NEED, which should be included if they actually follow their "all inclusive claim". They're even charging residents to watch Television, making them pay for Comcast, which they don't even give a set price for. We won't be going any further with them because of their predatory pricing. They are taking advantage of desperate people. Disgusting.
