Over the last few months, I have researched a variety of care/living options for my uncle,…read moreincluding at-home care and senior community living. I was immediately impressed when I researched Springfield Place in Petaluma, CA. The staff went out of their way to answer questions and to provide any help needed before, during, and after the decision-making process of whether or not this was the right location for my uncle. Once he decided that this was where he wanted to be, the staff helped in every way possible to get him moved in and set up in his new home, including personally going to Kaiser's medical offices when we were having trouble getting some of the required forms signed by the doctor. Without their help to navigate Kaiser's medical system, I think we would still be waiting on those forms long after I had to return home on the East Coast. The staff had excellent covid protocols in place that made me feel like my uncle would be as safe as possible. They had a great set of documents to help me organize what was needed to move him in quickly and efficiently. Their facilities staff was helpful in hanging a few pictures that I couldn't manage. The front desk had a welcome sign up for my uncle during his entire first week there. The other residents made a point to come introduce themselves and to say hello. There was a notable mix of residents who were at various stages of care and mobility, and they were often out in the common areas talking and socializing with each other. There was a guest room that I was able to use for a couple of days to help make the transition a bit easier. The food was surprisingly good, and I'm rather picky. I was expecting cafeteria level food and was delighted to find that the food was restaurant quality....and better than a few restaurants that I went to during my stay. They have a variety of rooms layouts available, all at different costs. We went with a large studio with a large den, and we used the den as a bedroom. This apartment that we chose doesn't have a window in the bedroom/den, but it does have two large French doors that open into the living space making it feel bigger and brighter. We were able to fit a lot more furniture and "stuff" than I had imagined due to the extra closets by the bathroom. I know a lot of people are concerned about the costs of senior care facilities, but at Springfield Place we got the apartment, the assistance of the facilities team, the nursing staff, laundry assistance for towels and sheets, the front desk staff, three meals per day, heating, electricity, and community activities all within the price of the monthly payment. When you add all of that up and then add on top of it the fact that you know that your loved one is not alone and that there is someone always around to make sure they are okay.... the price seems more than reasonable. The price does increase a little depending upon the level of care that your loved one needs, but even that seems reasonable, especially after seeing how well the staff cares for those who need additional levels of care. All in all, I am very happy with the experience and am really glad that we found Springfield Place. Plus, as my uncle says "It's close to the golf course!"

When family asked for eggs and meat, they were told, "That's not on the menu." Weight loss of 20 pounds while a resident was there. Manager left resident in bed without getting up into wheelchair, except for weekly shower, for the 5-week duration of stay there, though repeatedly asked for by his family. ( Had previously been up daily in wheelchair.) Bedsore on one heel after no turning or care of feet. Physical therapy had to be stopped because owner wouldn't help get resident up. When seriously over-medicated by Dr. Aye, owner continually argued with family against asking doctor to reduce and finally discontinue it. (With Power of Attorney it was accomplished by family.) Let resident go 5 days without having BM, necessitating a painful 4 1/2 hour Emergency Room visit. More than once resident's family was yelled at by owner and husband --heard by speech therapist once who was talking to family member on the phone. As of July, 2017: STATE OF CALIFORNIA has reviewed Our House because of those serious complaints.

From the minute we spoke to Lisa, without even seeing the facility, we knew we wanted in. We toured MuirWoods and instantly knew this was the perfect place for my dad. A week later, we were moving dad in and we couldn't have gone through a smoother process. Everyone In MuirWoods is so nice, so caring and so amazing with my dad. I don't think my dad has looked this happy in quite some time. The food always smells delicious and the facility is always sparkling clean. I love the fact that I can call anytime and get a report on my dad. Every time my dad calls me, someone is always there checking to make sure he is doing ok. They encourage him to take part in activity's and they have really brought the life back into my dad again. Thank you to this caring staff for loving their residents as if they were their own family.

As soon as my father arrived, the LVN, who was sucking on a lollipop the whole time, told the family to leave the room for a skin check.

We're so grateful he's out of this place, traumatized, but out. In fairness, the day staff is likely better, but the night staff needs far more training in professionalism and care practices for the vulnerable elderly.
