AMAZING! Beautiful! Immaculate facility! Loving employees who feel like family and friends. Shari Kranig is the Executive Director, hired to revamp this senior full-care home. There are not enough positive words to say what a life-saver Brookdale Senior Living in Folsom and Shari Kranig (Exec. Director) have been for my mom and our family. It is immaculate always, to the point where my kids and grandkids all say it smells so good and is so clean! The food is incredible, really! We can visit Mom to eat a yummy meal with her (we pay for our own). There is even a smaller separate dining room where we have had my mom's birthday and other family celebrations. But the greatest compliments are for the staff from the top (Shari) to every person working there: housekeeping, dining, medical, caregivers, front desk, maintenance, etc. Everyone knows my mom's name and the family. It always feels so welcoming to visit, and comforting knowing Mom is loved and cared for. Mom often holds my hand tell me that they love her! My mom was so ill when she first moved in. I thought we were going to lose her, but she has been stabilized and is so much better. Her room has a beautiful view of the huge courtyard with a giant oak tree, roses and many potted flowers. There is an outside walkway, patio with chairs, tables and umbrellas so she and our family can go outside for sunshine and nature. The Fireside Room is cozy with a full-sized grand piano. My mom even played it several times. It is an active spot for people from Bible study to word games, exercise and musicians. There are daily activities, menus, and outings to the store or elsewhere. This facility includes a memory section, and I toured noticing how immaculate it is kept. The residents were also well dressed, clean and have activities. As I said, not enough words. Best care I have ever imagined for my Mom. Thank you, Brookdale and Shari for your angelic hand! Allison Rice, Auburn CA. read more
