We moved my Father into Vaca Valley Living (VVL) very close to opening day.
It took all of us some time to work out the the details of how things work. Especially, for me and my family as my Dad was coming from Assisted Living to a Memory Care Facility. The difference is one place is open and one is closed. With my Father beginning to wonder, it was time to move him to a closed facility. This transition is not easy on anyone especially the family. But, the staff at VVL helped all of us through it.
VVL has been a heaven sent. The facility is very clean. They serve tasty food. The laundry and showering schedules are always timely and done well. Medication is always given on time and the activities are great.
Amanda the Activities Director is always looking to plan new events, games, and outings for the residents. Plus, she is a bright light each day for the residents with her smile and caring way. It is not easy to find new activities for senior citizens. But, Amanda is amazing. She finds ways to make sure everyone feels included.
The entire medical team, Medical Director Megan and Asst. Katie, with Techs: Nelson, Louise, Jennifer (and others) are on top of all the paperwork, refills, giving medication on a timely basis, everyday. They contact me to see if I would prefer to pick up a medication or let me know they will do it for me. Oh my goodness, this service is GREAT! My Dad never misses a dose of any medication because they stay on top of all of this and I don't have to anymore.
And the Caregivers, what can I say about the people that spend the most time with all the residents. They are calm, polite, caring, and understanding. Maggie, Brittany, Sam and others, Thank you!!!!!!
I have to say, overall, the staff is what makes Vaca Valley Living so special. When I ask for something or need something for my Dad, the staff is ALWAYS willing to help me and my family. I can text or call anytime of day or night and there is a polite person there to help.
Jamie (VVL Administrator) Thank you and your staff for taking such good care of my Dad. It gives my entire family peace of mind to know he is in such good hands.
