    Hand down the best facility of its kind that I've ever seen…read more Sheryl and Vivian, their directors, are amazing. My mother stayed here for three weeks respite care after a difficult recovery from a hip replacement. She has had similar sojourns in assisted living facilities on three previous occasions. None of those facilities even came close to Pinole Senior Village. This is first and foremost because of the superlative staff at Pinole. In many other facilities staff are a combination of pushy, saccharine, aggressively salesy; and disgruntled, grumpy and clearly unsympathetic to the seniors in their care. And I get it - caring for seniors with varying degrees of physical and mental ailment is about the most demanding work there is. Some of the seniors here are fully capable, even drive. Some require a lot of care. I witnessed staff treating all residents with respect and kindness - and never anything less. The staff at Pinole make their work look like a pleasure. They smile sincerely. They're patient, polite and still real - and they work their butts off. They're really the best I've seen. They treat the facility like a community and work hard to foster connections among the inhabitants. The facility is clean and in good repair. There are a few patios including a small dog park. They have a daily exercise class for seniors and lovely lounges throughout. The food is good - sometimes great. I visited my mom nearly every day while she stayed here, often with my small children and a giant off leash Labrador (my mother's). Staff went above and beyond tolerating us roaming through the halls and making space for us at meals. Vivian often had popsicles for the kids at the ready. Sheryl worked through her birthday weekend to admit my mother on a tight schedule. I know assisted living communities vary greatly and money can buy almost any degree of comfort. Sadly, for most seniors money is a very limited resource. The prices also enable real people to live here and secure comfort, security and around the clock assistance.

    I toured the Memory Care unit and was very impressed. A friend also gave it high marks and he had…read moreworked there! My Loved one needed surgery, so could move ahead immediately. Now circling back - they will not return my calls or my inquiries. This is poor customer relations.

    We moved my mother-in-law to this facility on recommendation of the social worker who determined…read moreshe was unable to live alone after yet another trip to the ER/Skilled Nursing Facility. My mother-in-law needed a place she could afford with just her disability and social security income. We assumed she would be lucky to get anything and did not have high hopes. We have not seen my mother-in-law this happy in a long time. Previously, she basically sat in her studio apartment smoking cigarettes, drinking diet coke and waiting to die. Now she eats actual, well planned meals, sitting with the same group of cronies each meal. She can't smoke in her room, so she's getting a little exercise each day walking out to the smoking area. She goes to watch movies with friends in the common area. Despite having recently begun hospice care, she looks healthier that she has in years. I will now take my son to see her since there are places we can visit with her that aren't clouded in decades of old smoke and nicotine. One would think that a place that would accept her (based on her income and credit rating) would have been the dredges of nursing homes, but this place is clean, well organized and pleasant to visit. On par with a Holiday Inn. The staff is exceedingly helpful and friendly. They helped her hang her posters and will come get her with a wheelchair at 3 am if she "needs" a smoke and is not up to the task of walking at that time of night. They provide activities for all abilities and welcome visitors to join. She says the food is pretty good too, high praise coming from a woman who has had no interest in eating for several years. A few nights ago, she mentioned after dinner to a friend that her grilled cheese sandwich was cold. The chef approached her and asked if she wanted fries with her new sandwich. Later that evening, a hot sandwich and crispy fries were delivered to her room. We will always be grateful to this place for giving her a happy, comfortable place to live out the rest of her life.

    Green Pastures is a cozy and peaceful place owned by very kind and diligent family. My father spent…read morethe last weeks of his life in hospice there surrounded by love and care. We (my mother, my brother and myself) were very lucky to find this place, where we were sure that my father was in good hands. While my dad was in the hospital, I was constantly worried because time after time the nurses mishandled him, failed to give medication, or bothered him too much. It was a constant stress, because arguing with those nurses and asking them to be more human was useless. Once my dad got to Green Pastures I and our whole family got relieved - everything all of a sudden got taken care of - properly, calmly with a smile. We are grateful to the Bond family running Green Pastures for taking such a good care of our father when he and all of us needed it.

    They do not care for the family members left in their care. They made a big production of showing…read more a healthy and nutritious menu of home cooked meals provided to all residents. When we came to visit it as half a frozen tamale on a saucer - that was the whole lunch. The staff drank the 11 cases of Coke we brought over for him and then lied and said we never brought any over. There is never any access to water to drink next to the bed, my uncle was rushed to the ER due to severe malnutrition and dehydration. This is a very scary place.
