We are so grateful for the exceptional care Mom receives at Jazba. At 86 years old, she is physically healthy and remarkably fit -- her main challenges are related to memory. After three years of living with me, it became clear that Mom needed a higher level of structure, supervision, and social interaction than I could consistently provide at home. I began an extensive search, exploring nearly 40 different care options -- everything from large assisted living and memory care communities to smaller, private board-and-care homes specializing in dementia care. I asked tough questions about caregiver-to-resident ratios, staff turnover, nutrition, movement, music, routines, and social engagement. Jazba quickly rose to the top and became the gold standard by which I compared all other options. Here's why: A Warm, Homelike Environment: Each Jazba residence is a single-family home, full of light, warmth, and thoughtful design. Far from cold or clinical, they're inviting, clean, well-organized, and charming. Visitors and residents alike feel at home the moment they walk through the door. Nutritious, Family-Style Meals: Meals are prepared fresh each day and enjoyed together around the table. The menu follows the MIND diet -- rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and plant-based, high-fiber foods -- supporting both brain and overall health. Meaningful Daily Activities: Every day includes music, art, gentle exercise, fresh air, and light occupational therapy. Holidays, birthdays, and life milestones are celebrated with joy and creativity that rivals any kindergarten class -- in the best way possible. Field trips between homes build a sense of community and connection among residents. Unconditional Acceptance: Residents are met with patience, dignity, and respect -- always. Whether a story is told for the third time or a memory gets fuzzy, staff respond with kindness and compassion. This culture of acceptance extends to everyone in the home. After just a month at Jazba, my mom began speaking to me with more warmth and tenderness than I remember from my youth -- a transformation that still moves me deeply. Compassionate, Competent Care: The staff are not only incredibly kind, they're highly capable and organized. Detailed records are maintained for every resident, which allows them to tailor care and keep families and medical providers well-informed. Whole-Person Support: What sets Jazba apart is their commitment to the whole person -- not just the diagnosis. My mother is a lifelong Seventh-day Adventist, and her faith is central to her identity. I worried about how she'd feel when she couldn't attend church regularly. Jazba didn't miss a beat: the team helped arrange transportation when possible, and on Saturdays when she couldn't go, they streamed the service on the big TV so she and other residents could participate together. When I visited later that day, I found them making crafts and listening to uplifting music. It was beautiful. Connection and Communication: Every week, I receive text messages and photos of Mom -- laughing, doing light housework (which she adores), creating art, or exercising with others. She's been at Jazba for four months now, and I can honestly say: this is the happiest I've seen her in over a decade. read more

It's been a year since my mom has been at Jazba and we are over the moon about how wonderful Shane and her team has been. We love the holistic values and here is mom's bestie Miss Zoe enjoying her spa time. My mom loves to snap pictures and insisted on taking pictures of Zoe (her roommate) I appreciate the responsiveness the team has been to accommodate our requests. Thank you Jazba Care! read more

There's wonderful things that the staff did for my loved ones, but the thing that I was most impressed with was what they serve to their residents. Shane said they used to be plant based and just recently transitioned over to the MIND diet (specialized menu for Alzheimer's/Dementia patients). Great job! read more

They have the best birthday parties! The team made pineapple cupcakes, mocktails that were themed and all the staff decorated the house! It's little things like this that makes me appreciate Jazba Care. My aunt has been staying there for 6 months, and she is nearly unrecognizable! She's moving around a-lot better, she's really pleasant and happy and she loves the painting that she does nearly everyday! Very cool place. They have a large team and there is always a happy staff to greet you. Owner is always around the three or four homes, and GM is always around and each house has a house manager. There isn't and board and care that has anything like this around. This is definitely the best care home. I tour 6 larger facilities (assisted livings) and about 8 or 9 board and care- and there was nothing that came close to the diet and program to Jazba Care. Well done! read more

Beautiful homes and amazing care. Very professional! I would recommend Jazba Care to any family that's looking to move their parents

I cannot speak highly enough on the quality of care and staff who took care of my mother during her stay here. The staff are very attentive and helped her perform all of her necessities with efficiency and dignity. Staff were available around the clock to help her get up and get out of bed, even in the wee hours of the morning. The owner, particularly, is extremely knowledgeable with caregiving and elderly care, and also helped my mother with her medication and breathing therapies for advanced COPD. They have developed food and activities that help the residents flourish. It was a great comfort knowing that mom had made new friends at Jazba Care; from other residents as well as with the staff and the owner. I can only say that my mom lucked out when we found Jazba Care, and I would say that if you truly want your loved one to be in the best place possible, that you contact Jazba Care and (hopefully) they will have a spot open for your loved one. read more

Shane and her team at Jazba provide truly special memory care. They treated my mom and our family with such warmth and love. It cannot be overstated how much Shane cares about providing the highest quality care, with attention to every detail. read more

My grandma has been staying here for multiple years now. The staff make it very easy to call and get her on the phone (provided she is awake haha). The residents are encouraged to befriend one another through playing games/activities and group meals. Personally, I am very happy with the attention and care she is receiving here. read more

My first impression was amazing! Everything from the type of care my family received to my own personal experience of working with the staff has been so seamless. I noticed the staff have fostered strong relationships with the resident and I feel confident my family will be properly cared for while in this facility. read more

I went to three different assisted living places for my mom and this was the only place and documented anything! They took notes of what they ate and how much did they eat, drink, sleep. Everything is kept track of and it wonderful they practice Ayurvedic techniques. read more

Jazba Care - Care home dog, Havana - Retirement Homes Near Me - Sacramento, California

My grandfather lives with my family and I am his primary caregiver for him. My family was planning a road trip to northern California and Oregon. I have never heard of board and care before. I was told about Jazba Care by a friend and decided to call. From the moment I called, Shane, the owner/operator was amazing. She spoke with kindness and was very patient. She even helped us fill out all the forms that were required. My grandfather stayed with her for a respite stay (short-term care) for two weeks and he loved his stay. Shane sent videos and pictures daily. She provided a low sodium diet and event made gave me two recipes that my grandfather loved! My grandfather has dementia, CHF, diabetes, and COPD. He uses oxygen throughout the day and a CPAP at night. She has a background as a Respiratory Therapist and I felt so comfortable with her. Her care staff is so amazing and I highly recommend Jazba Care for anyone that wants personalized care that is heartfelt! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, this was the first time I have ever left my grandfather and she gave me the confidence to be able to enjoy my much-needed vacation with my husband and kids! read more

My dear friend was a Jazba resident, and she received the most amazing care! Another friend and I visited weekly, and after 2 other placements, our friend found a warm, loving and stimulating home environment. Jazba's staff members were attentive and kind, and really got to know the residents, their personalities, likes and needs. The residents were a family, and they celebrated birthdays and holidays together. Family and friends were always welcome and were often celebrated as well. After spending many hours at Jazba, I informed my children that it is where I want to reside when the time comes. read more

I am so thankful and grateful to be able to work for a company that goes above and beyond for their residents! The passion and dedication that goes into this business to care for your loved ones is unmatched. The holistic approach that we take to ensure the best quality of life, the one on one care (TLC) that we give each of our residents, the family like environment is what makes the place absolutely one of a kind! read more

I visited a TON of board and care homes in search of the best place for my mom who has dementia. Her previous home was no longer able to care for her due to her level of care. After seeing many mediocre homes I found Jazba Care and have been blown away by the level of kindness and compassion they have built their home around. It's a cozy and welcoming home with 6 residents. Owner Shane Stumpf is an absolute rockstar and one of the most caring people I have ever met. Shane and her staff treat my mom like a queen. The difference from my mom's previous home is like night and day. I wish all homes were like this one! Treating the residents with dignity, keeping them active and well-dressed. They really do so much more than the bare minimum that you'll find in other homes. They go above and beyond. My mom is doing so much better in this home! Her mobility has improved, she eats a super healthy diet (and likes it), and while she's mostly non-verbal, her cheerful disposition says it all. It's a very clean and active home, lots of daily activities, residents are always out in the common area during the day interacting with staff and with each other. Staffing ratio is so much better than anywhere else I visited. Each resident receives lots of individual attention. They have caregivers around the clock working in shifts (again this is how it should be everywhere in order to avoid burnout and have backups in place if someone is out sick etc). Every single caregiver is great! Shane and her staff are well-trained in dementia. My mom's condition is not considered a problem here like it was in her previous home. They welcome the individuality of each resident and taylor personalized care plans. They keep daily logs for each resident to track for trends or changes which in my mom's case has helped to catch UTI's early. I love their holistic model. I have come to trust Shane and Jazba Care a thousand percent. I can finally rest easy knowing my mom is well-cared for, and her caregivers are not just keeping her safe but also treating her with utmost respect and love. I wholeheartedly recommend Jazba Care and wish their model was the norm! read more

My grandma has been living at Jazba after experiencing several unwitnessed falls. She now has the oversight she needs to be safe and still experience life! She has made friends and developed a social life. It's been so nice to see her active and happy in her new home. This was the best decision my family has made! read more

Professional, genuine and compassionate senior care is what you can expect from Shane and the staff of Jazba Care. When my grandpa and his wife were in need of quality, active, senior care, we totally hit the jackpot when we found this home. They were loved and cared for from their basic daily needs, to well-managed medication plans and quality health-conscious, individualized meal plans. The staff attends to the mental, physical and total well-being of the residents. If you are looking for a home that you can be confident and proud of to place your loved one, then Jazba Care should be your first choice! We're forever grateful it was ours! read more

Moved tiny frail mom here. She soon became incontinent, non-verbal, ate w/hands, wobbly on feet. Jazba interfered & pressured Dr.'s & family to overmedicate. I interrupted phone conf betw Dr & Jazba. I told Dr. to prescribe med if ok with other family. Dr said: "But I DON'T WANT TO!" Owner did not follow Dr.s orders nor provide med'l docmts required by law and by Dr.s. Cited by CDSS for this. Waited for 2 hours in 95º heat to speak w/owner. Would not come out. Family not allowed to enter home even w/clean Covid test and mask, watched toilet installer enter w/o mask mult times 5' in front of residents seated by door as I waited. Owner finally came out to talk with a contractor and yelled at me that she doesn't have to talk to me. Another day, got call from Jazba, heard lots of shouting, said mom was agitated and mean. I was driving & couldn't talk. 30 sec later, parked in driveway. At door, heard laughter. Rang bell. Caretaker peeped thru window. Laughter stopped. Door opened. Asked to see mom. She was calm and happy to see me. Away from Jazba, my mom quickly recovered and is much better now. Don't put your loved one here unless you want to forget about them. read more

Such a cute, clean and homey atmosphere! The staffs are very attentive, kind and are like family. Shane is a wonderful human being. She is helpful, patient and passionate. She answered all of my questions & addressed my concerns and it helped reassured me. I feel comfortable and confident that Shane and her staff will always have the best interests in my loved ones. read more

Wow, I am blessed to have someone like Shane in my area!!! I had to go overseas for a family emergency, and I don't know what I was going to do with my dad. My dad has lived with me for 3 years and I have been his primary caregiver. I found Jazba Care on Yelp and decided to call, but not really knowing where to start or what to ask. Shane took the time to listen to my concerns and hear the whole story, never interrupting and even offered to find something that was closer to home. My dad stayed with her for 3 weeks and really enjoyed his stay! I appreciated the calls she took and was quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the process. I am so happy to learn there are services like short term stays. My dad often asks about Shane, and Shane still stays in touch. She has amazing staff and the residents are amazing! There are two therapy dogs that stay at home, and that is what my dad misses the most! Thanks again, Jazba Care! read more

We have been very happy with Jazba's care for my mom. Shane was wonderful in transitioning my mom into their home. They offer so many fun activities which provides much needed stimulation for dementia patients like my mom. We can see that she looks happier. She is much more alert, observant and conversant. Jazba has a variety of daily activities and the staff works hard to keep residents engaged and occupied. They limit TV watching time and residents are kept in the company of others during the day, not spending time alone in their rooms. The staff is caring and compassionate. We wish we would have found this place earlier. Thank you Shane and the Jazba staff! read more

I've been researching different places as an option for my elderly parents to transition to in their " golden years." This isn't a position that any relative looks forward to doing. But, I was profoundly surprised when I visited Jazba Care, and was motivated to write a review, for others that are in the same situation. Immediately, I was impressed with the Director Shane! She immediately understands the emotions involved in making these kind of decisions. She answered questions that I never thought to ask and has extensive knowledge in the home healthcare industry. It really takes angels to do this kind of work and that best describes all the staff at Jazba! It's a small place and I noticed the residents are getting personal one on one attention (( big plus )) on my check off list! They even had a big 4th of July bbq that I was invited to join! I've even seen residents out in the community ( walking, shopping, running errands ) with the staff, and this was a nice surprise! It dawned on me at that moment, the residents are still leading active lives! Jazba is the place for our elderly to extend a higher quality of life! read more

My Brother spent his last days at the Jazba Care Home on Tuolumne Drive. His room was bright, cheerful, clean and welcoming. The amazing Staff were attentive and caring, meeting his needs. They even got my Brother outside on their beautiful Patio Area and provided him with a much-needed Pedicure. I felt that was such a Blessing, because he did not want to get out of bed, but they meet the challenge with Grace. He enjoyed the food and ate every bite. The Therapy Dog was such a welcome addition, making it feel even more like "home". While visiting with my Brother, I could hear the others singing or verbally working through their daily Exercises. So much positivity in what can often be a challenging situation. Thank you for helping me feel comfortable knowing my Brother was being cared for with Grace and Dignity. I would definitely recommend checking out one of the three Care Homes that Shane now operates. read more

At JAZBA CARE the high ratio of staff to residents makes for an atmosphere of healing...the small number of residents makes it feel more intimate - like a support group for the residents. It also makes it seem more like a family living situation...the residents look after each other...they say helpful things to each other, such as "You shouldn't use that arm that's the one that's hurt". Sometimes the residents walk on the sidewalks accompanied by staff (who keep a watchful eye so no one loses their balance and falls) in the neighborhood. At other times the attendants engage the residents in mind exercises and manual dexterity exercises. The people are a nice, cute bunch...on occasions they throw birthday parties, Valentines Day party, Saint Patrick's Day party, and more celebrations...photos of my relative show her smiling even though she is still healing. The medical therapist is a very astute and observant therapist who makes sure the residents eat healthy foods such as spinach and residents are given regular exercise and rehab time. The medical therapist and attendants are vigilant: they take the patients' vitals, and are attentive to their needs. Physical therapists can visit the residents and improve their range of mobility and exercise. The patients have their teeth brushed several times a day. When I could not find my relative's slippers at home the Medical Therapist went out and bought her some "house shoes" or slippers. Two thumbs up for JAZBA CARE !!! read more

Shane, the owner is not truthful, concealing a Covid-19 outbreak, and charging full rate for holding a spot due to the same. Encourages discord among family members to shop for the one that is least able to stand up to her. She does not understand her associates degree in RT does not qualify her as an MD. Revolving door of caregivers who appear untrained. read more
