Continuing Care Community in Sacramento, California

I'm very happy at this point with everything that Home Instead is doing for me. I'm very happy with the program. Initially, there were problems but we searched through those and found the solutions. Right now, this is really great. I'm very pleased with Home Instead.

Eskaton Monroe Lodge was the first place I toured. It's an older facility, it's very nice, it's six stories, it doesn't have a large landscaped area, and it's right on Freeport Boulevard, so it's slightly noisier than the other places. It's a little more expensive; it's $3,500 a month. They have a nursing staff that can come in at an additional cost so you don't have to move if you have a short-term health problem. They allow pets.

Golden Pond was a little darker than other facilities, but it’s also not as expensive as the other places. I probably would have picked them. They have activities, a library, a theater, and everything you need to do. I stopped and talked to the gentleman who was eating and he seemed very happy. It’s one long building, and they have very nice people.

We visited River’s Edge. They were very nice, we had lunch there, and the person who helped us was very good and very open. We felt like it was a well-run place, and it’s something we would consider because of the location. The staff member was very nice, willing to help, and showed us around. The people we met were very good.

I looked at Eskaton Monroe Lodge. It didn't offer as much as other communities do, and it was more expensive. They didn't provide all of the meals, just one big lunch. If you don't make it in time, they'll give you a bagged lunch with various things in it. The place was very small. The bathroom, the living room, bedrooms, and kitchen area were very small. The staff members were nice and pleasant.
