The food is sub par and help is non existent. I hit my button I don't know how many times and it takes forever to get someone to come. I usually ended up having to yell to get attention. That made them mad. They were always messing up my medications and I had to carefully check them each time I got them. I received someone else's more than once! The place is pretty old and there's nothing to do to stay busy or be stimulated, like some kind of activity, game or crossword-like things to do. I was at another place where they had fun stuff almost daily to help keep my mind off of my troubles. This place is like a tomb. You can't even go outside without needing help to open the doors. I counted the days until I was free of that place. Never again will I go there. I'd rather go to the Pines or that really bad one in Auburn than get stuck here again. Also, social services was a complete joke. They couldn't figure their way out of a wet paper bag. No help there at all! If you have a choice, skip this one. It's terrible. I can't help but feel very sorry for those who are stuck living there permanently.

But that was my experience and opinion.

I had a horrifying experience in April of 2024 here. I came for treatment for a neurological…read moredisorder that had become exacerbated, but was labeled psychotic, treated like I wasn't even a human being. I wasn't allowed to have visitors or make phone calls and there is no documentation in my records as to why my civil rights were revoked. It shouldn't matter if a person is truly psychotic or not, but staff here will treat you like a second-class citizen if they believe you are a psychiatric patient. Staff would not allow my husband to visit with me and they never even told me he showed up. I was devastated because I thought my husband had abandoned me when I was in a neurological crisis. When I requested my medical records, they were filled with errors, and they falsely documented that my husband agreed to transfer me to a psych ward. As if my husband doesn't know my medical history. He would never do that! Staff at Marshall documented that my rights to use the phone or have visitors were revoked. Whether you're on a 5150 hold or not, or a psychiatric patient or not, this is a violation of a person's Civil Rights and in violation of the Lanterman Petris Short Act ***(which BTW, the patient advocates and staff at Marshall told me they "never heard of the LPS Act", which is the law that governs 5150 Holds, and the law that California put into place in the 1960s TO END INDEFINITE HOSPITALIZATIONS AND CONSERVATORSHIPS and to make sure psychiatric patients did not have LESS RIGHTS THAN PRISONERS) My husband wrote Marshall a signed letter asking them to change the false documentation and false quotes they attributed to him in my records, but they wouldn't. El Dorado County Behavioral Health ended up correcting their false documentation in my records. But it wasn't without a fight, and it wasn't without severe damage to my marriage and my mental health. I even showed Marshall that El Dorado corrected my records. Filed 3 separate complaints about my medical records being erroneous and inaccurate, but they don't care. Now I have false diagnoses in my medical records, which are legal documents. In 2016, Marshall agreed to pay $5.5 million to settle allegations that it defrauded Medicare and Medi-Cal in billing. They were double-billing and practicing fraudulent documentation. Well, it seems that they are now trying to use psychiatric diagnostic codes in order to get reimbursed more money, since they can't get away with double-billing Medicare and Medi-Cal anymore. Psychiatric patients (and non-psychiatric patients) who are mistaken for substance abusers or psychiatric patients at Marshall are in real danger of losing their civil rights here and I don't say that lightly. I'm absolutely disgusted with this place and will never go there again. I was so upset about my experience at Marshall, I ended up creating an advanced directive just to have in writing that I am never to be brought to Marshall under any circumstances.

My mom is dying from Glioblastoma brain cancer-doctors dont know when she will go, but she wanted…read moreto do radiation and chemo. With her decline in physical and mental capabilities and being on Medicare, we admitted her to The Pines in Placerville. Overall, our experience with them has no complaints. Initially, she wasn't very happy to be there because of the differences compared to her private room at the hospital. However, I cannot fault The Pines for that, especially with how the staff treated her and our family. I have worked in a couple dozen nursing homes of various skill and funding levels; all over California and a few in Nevada. I knew what to expect from a place that we weren't paying thousands of dollars a month out of pocket for. I too, was nervous the first night she was transferred there. It can be loud; and there's alot of activity and my mom felt at times she wasn't receiving "service" as promptly as she would've liked. With that said, I very quickly began to know the staff personally and they were all friendly, professional and accommodating. It's very busy there-there is alot of residents and patients who were more worse off in ways than my mother and were far more demanding and not nice about it. The stress on the staff is alot. Yet, overall they handle it like pros. My mother was there just under two weeks before she unfortunately had to go back to the hospital and will probably not leave it alive. While she cannot personally express her feelings about The Pines, I spent everyday there, many times for most of the day and at all different times so I can speak from first hand experience: I know the reviews from others and the reputation this place has. The Director, Colby, you can tell is working very hard to turn that reputation around. The staff works very hard and I pray for their continued strength and determination in what they are doing because it is not an easy job and at times-maybe many times-seems thankless and unrewarding. Just know that for this family, you took an already difficult and emotional period of our lives and were able to ease this portion and truly give help when it was desperately needed. Special shout outs to Amy, Mikala, Colleen, Mai, Abraham, Maura, Michelle, Kelsey, Britni, Bill, Christina, Stephen, Samantha and so many more there that I can't remember your name or didn't catch it when we met: I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you did for my mother. If she was capable of it, I know she would personally express how thankful and appreciative she was for your care, concern and dignity during this very difficult time of her life.

Residents who complain of pain are told they are "faking" it or just attention-seeking.

They screamed at her regularly, to the point where you could hear the yelling (by the staff) from the other end of the building. If you have to admit your loved one into memory care here, I strongly recommend putting cameras in the room. Or better yet, just don't do it. Find somewhere else. Anywhere. The residents are treated like obstacles that have to be avoided while collecting paychecks.
