This is a delayed review. I found my notes and decided I needed to put this out there. First of…read moreall, I eventually found out that this place is investor owned and anytime you have that it is all about the mighty dollar and how cheaply you can run it. We placed our mom in the facility based on prior experiences, albeit a few years before that, from her friends. We checked in on a Saturday which they knew in advance. The room key didn't work, the locked drawer in the bathroom key didn't work because the drawer was broken. The bathroom sink faucet sprayed water all over the place when turned on. The marketing representative met us and gave us the key. There was never a nurse to check in and evaluate our mother as is per protocol when arriving to an assisted living facility. Out mother was total care needing assistance to do everything and we were paying top tier level fees and an "additional" fee on top of that as the points exceeded the highest tier. Never mentioned during signing. The handbook had no info on wi fi hookup password or even a menu. The front desk person, who was eating at the desk, didn't know or who to ask. Over the course of the next week we were there every day because staff was not checking on her every hour as we were paying them to do. The care aides were called, even with us sitting there, and it took them an hour to arrive. Then the request was made for the medication that had to be managed and she had to notify the med tech. That took another hour. By then the next medication was needed and resulted in more delays. Took two requests to get the nurse; not sure if it was an RN; to come evaluate my mother as you would expect. Also to complain of the lack of care as promised. Food brought to the room was placed in a bag. Our mother needed assistance to open it and they just left it. Care giver was asked to do bathing and they had to leave and go ask a supervisor. How is this not noted? Caregiver wouldn't move commode from bathroom to bedroom. A caregiver answered during the night and told my mother that she was the only one for two floors. Another one was 7 months pregnant and the only one at night and couldn't do any lifting at all. We over heard on entry two employees talking in a break room while we waiting by the elevator. One said he would never have his family here. And then they saw us and tried to retract what they had said. Not great when you were in the middle of moving the furniture into the facility. No care plan was ever transferred to the chart and the nurse came back the next day due to illness. Who was covering for the nurse out sick? No care plan given to us in writing. Asked repeatedly for copies of the documents signed prior to arrival. Ability to reach the director was close to impossible. Phone calls to facility sent us to voice mail with no call. eventually was able to find the email contact via the California department listing. We stated we were taking our mother out of the facility for her safety on that Friday. Never able to speak to her. We felt we would lose our 30 day minimum notice fees but it didn't matter as all we cared about was her care and safety. Eventually they gave us back all of the entry fee and rent/fees/care fees minus the one week that she stayed there. I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE TO GO TO THIS PLACE! In fact I have told people to tell other people. I don't know how people can sleep at night knowing what goes on in their place of employment. How can they work there? I know of people who had issues as well that I won't go into detail here. I am sure you can call the state and find all of the complaints that have been lodged against them.

We are so grateful for the exceptional care Mom receives at Jazba. At 86 years old, she is…read morephysically 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.

The love, patience and caring attitudes shown by all the staff was beyond anything I would have expected in a care home. They welcomed my stepdad with open arms and made him feel like he was home. They did the same for our family when we came to visit him as well. I would not hesitate to choose Golden Moments Residential Care Home for any of my loved ones. Golden Moments is not only a safe and secure facility but also a very clean environment with a homey feel. The personal hygiene of the residents is of the utmost importance to all the staff and in the 10 years my stepdad was living at Golden Moments he was just as handsome and CLEAN as the day he started. The staff remains engaged with the residents throughout the day participating in exercise circles and sing alongs. They play games like Bingo, put together puzzles, and also make art projects to go along with every season and holiday. Holidays at Golden Moments Residential Care Home are marked with special activities and luncheons which are open to all family members to enjoy. I am more than thankful for the time my stepdad spent in the care of Golden Moments Residential Care Home. The love, attention and memories they gave him and my family is more than I could have ever asked for. Linn Williams (daughter of PK Taylor)

Although my mom was never able to move in (she passed away in the hospital), I knew this would have been the perfect place for her. When Daniel found out about my mom's passing, he sent flowers to my family. He truly cares, and I appreciate how involved his family is.

Short background: Following the death of my father-in-law, my mother-in-law remained in their home…read morefor 2 yrs until she took a bad fall. She moved in with us, and it was then we learned that while she was physically pretty fit at 90-ish, she was experiencing some significant cognitive and memory issues. Because of her limited income, we were able to secure a Med-Cal subsidy for her memory care residential expense. We personally checked out all types of facilities that accepted Medi-Cal recipients, and Courtyard Terrace (under CiminoCare) was the only one that "checked all our boxes": --Memory Care --Smaller facility (approx 40 residents max) --A home-like atmosphere: open access to a small outdoor courtyard, a spacious and cheerful cafeteria, an activity room on the small side but where residents are encouraged to socialize instead of remaining alone in their rooms. What the facility lacks in modern and "spiffy", it is a comfortable place where there is always some interaction going on among residents and staff. It doesnʻt feel cold and clinical, as some of the larger facilities with Memory Care did. --Appropriate staffing levels: there always seems to be staff working throughout the facility, helping residents, completing daily tasks, assisting family visitors. --And the Clincher for us: at least a few Spanish-speaking staff, since my Mother-in-Law has reverted back to speaking Spanish, although she is still able to understand English. Finally and Most Importantly: My mother-in-law has lived at Courtyard Terrace for 2 1/2 years now. Their on-site Administrator, Magda Luis and her "second-in-command", Jamie, have handled all our momʻs administrative paperwork and medical needs promptly and without any issues. They communicate with us immediately if a problem arises. They make every effort to address our concerns in a friendly and caring way. Similarly Courtyardʻs Caregiver staff have been handling our momʻs personal care patiently and professionally. We can see that she is being well-taken care of physically. And she now calls this place "home". This has been the right place for her in every way.

In the past I would drive around trying to find a place to park and it would take up some of the time that I could be spending with my mom. Not anymore! The change that was made is the staff park elsewhere. Now visitors can find parking. Parking is no longer an issue. On 5/24, Toni had arranged a "pink and purple candlelight dinner" for the residents and their family members. It was amazing! The food was so good I had thought it was catered in.
