I'm skeptical of these glowing reviews, so I'm writing my own…read more I took my dad to a brunch and learn there. It was impressive. They have a new culinary director which sounds luxurious. The food was delish. Dad didn't love the coffee but he can make his own. :) The staff has been there a long time and the ownership is also long-term which I find stable. There are a lot of pluses, but the icing on the cake was that each of three different residents talked to us in passing, and they were very cheerful and appeared happy. My dad is excited to move in soon, and it's a relief to the rest of the family. We're looking forward to my dad experiencing the Men's club, weekly happy hour, and nightly movies. I'll update my review in about three months.

My father lived in this facility for nine months, during which he fell 13 times, despite my clear…read moreand early disclosure that he had Parkinson's dementia. Rather than revising his care or offering support, the facility ultimately evicted him after his final fall, labeling him a "fall risk"--a fact they had known since day one. They violated legal eviction procedures by failing to give a 30-day notice, and informed me while I was out of the country, leaving my father in the hospital and me scrambling to find a new place for him. The lack of empathy during a vulnerable time was inexcusable. To make matters worse, the facility said the only way they would allow him back was if I paid for a private 24/7 nurse--an expense they knew was unrealistic. This was clearly a tactic to push him out while appearing cooperative on paper. Not sure if Aireen T. is still the director but she is not responsive, professional, caring, or compassionate at all. I had to involve Ombudsman to get responses from her on everything. There are also serious safety and staffing concerns. During a power outage in the heat of summer 2024, the facility had no backup generator. We overheard firefighters asking staff where the generator was, and staff admitted there wasn't one. During this incident a female resident was stuck in the elevator for literally hours on a hot summer day!! It was horrifying. Others, like the woman across from my father's room, were left in the dark yelling "hello, is anybody there?" My family and I went to her to calm her down ourselves as no staff member checked on her or other residents to reassure them during this electricity outage. They are clearly understaffed and many of the caregivers are not certified CNAs, and it shows. Staff routinely defer to residents' refusals for essential care, and hygiene, rather than providing informed, proactive support for those with cognitive conditions. Many times I showed up and I could smell he hadn't showered. When I asked staff why they would say that he refused so they didn't do it. Medication for my father was not consistently dosed at a consistent time which was also a huge problem. My father also experienced racism from two other residents, and when I raised this with the Director Aireen, they brushed it off--blaming the behavior on health issues such as UTI and did nothing to protect or acknowledge the harm done to my father. Aireen and executive management did nothing to soothe our concerns. This facility is not safe, not equipped, and not compassionate. I would not trust them with any loved one under any circumstances.

Christine at Creating New Hope Senior Living Advisors has been an incredible resource during a very…read moreoverwhelming time for our family. From the moment she answered the phone, she was compassionate, patient, and reassuring. During our very first call she gave me the information and guidance I needed to move forward. Within an hour of speaking with her, several senior living communities were already reaching out to me. Before connecting with Christine, I had called many facilities myself and only received one call back. All we had to do was schedule the appointments. It was clear that Christine has built strong and meaningful relationships with the communities she works with. We ultimately placed our uncle in one of the independent living communities she introduced us to, and the process felt so much more manageable because of her help. She also helps families explore assisted living and skilled nursing options, which makes her an incredible resource no matter what level of care is needed. If you are trying to navigate independent living, assisted living, or skilled nursing options for a loved one, I highly recommend reaching out to Christine at Creating New Hope Senior Living Advisors. Having someone knowledgeable and compassionate guide you through such an uncertain time truly makes a difference. We are very grateful for her support.

The full staff was also very compassionate to me, his daughter, and my mom/his wife. e day my Dad passed I believe every staff member stopped by his room to say goodbye to him, touch him, hug me and my husband, say kind words about him, etc. It could not have been sweeter!

We were so grateful that we selected Quail Gardens over the multiple options in the tri-valley. Mom was well cared for, treated with dignity and respect, and encouraged to participate and socialize with the other residents. It is a horrible chapter, to lose your independence and be under the care of others. But the team at Quail Gardens, led by example from Alicia and Jenn, made the transition as smooth as possible. The entire team is caring and really do everything they can to engage with and get to know the personalities of each resident. What I appreciated most is how welcome my siblings and I were. We were encouraged to visit often and stay as long as we like. We were as welcomed as we could be to the point where the staff became an extension of our family keeping us posted on how Mom was doing on the few days we were not able to get by for a visit. The BEST part of Quail Gardens is their patio - it is such a peaceful and inviting space. Mom and I loved to sit out there, have a diet coke and play cards. We would do so for hours. If you are looking for a home for a loved one, please reach out to Alicia and give Quail Gardens a visit.

"BEWARE OF WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING"! This is NOT…read moresomeplace where you want to leave a loved one. After my father passed away unexpectedly, I wanted to have Mom closer to me. She & daddy were at a wonderful Board & Care, but when it was just Mom; I decided to move her to the East Bay. I found Karo Mina through a referral service and went to check it out. The son, Fady, was there. He put on a really good show. I told him that there were some things that were very important, when it came to Mom's care. He assured me that they would take great care of her. I met the caregiver, Cheyenne, while she was doing meal prep. She was a really nice young lady and a great cook. While she was there, caring for Mom; my Mother was kept clean, dry and well fed. But then Mona fired her. Then hired another helper and after screaming at her over the phone, (which I heard); she fired her. Then another person was hired & fired. After that, Mona decided that she and her son Fady; could do it by themselves. As there was ONLY 1 PERSON, OTHER THAN MY MOTHER, to care for. Mona began to complain about my mother's weight and that it was difficult to change her. I asked if I should look for a new place and she said that she could handle it. Well, my fiance and I went to visit one night and I guess it was around 5 minutes after visiting hours; which they never told me about. I rang the door bell and we could hear 2 very loud dogs, barking and running around inside. She complained that it was after-hours and I asked could we just visit Mom for a couple of minutes. After letting us in, is when I saw the true Mona. She was very bitter and angry, as she overheard me tell my fiance that Mom was extremely frightened, as the uncontrollable dogs ran into Mom's room, barking loudly and running around, jumping on us! Mom 's room was pitch black, no music, no TV and she was crying. I closed the door, so that we could visit and help to calm Mom. She is in her 10th year of Dementia, can only speak a few words and is 100% Bed Ridden. She is very vulnerable. Mona bursted into the room, screaming about how she had the right to have dogs and that the lights were out bc Mom was trying to sleep. She flailed her arms around and as she was screaming, headed for me angrily. Thank goodness my fiance was there, and he stepped in between us, putting his arms up and asking Mona to please calm down and to let us visit in peace. Mona then started screaming: 'I want you all out of here! Get out and I want your mother out of here. I am giving you 30 days notice to GET OUT"!! My mother was there from Nov 7, 2021 until Jan 23, 2022. She is just beginning to recover. She shook when anyone tried to touch her and cried all the time. She was so frightened. She had been left in dirty diapers and a dirty gown, from the day or two before; when the medics transported her. I know that Mom was abused, but I can't prove it; as Mom cannot tell us. But I know. PLEASE, STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE. FADY IS VINDICTIVE, MEAN, SCARY AND I AM AFRAID OF HIM. (The one person who is left there is afraid of both Mona and Fady. I wish that I could have warned James' family before we left). Mom is slowly recovering and is being well cared for, in a different place.
