The staff are friendly and compassionate and helpful, the community is beautiful and great care is taken to keep it that way, there are multiple menu options for each meal and the food is delicious. My mom's apartment is very nice and has made her transition from living independently in her own home to living at Covell Gardens much easier. I would encourage anyone looking for an assisted living facility in Davis to consider Atria Covell Gardens.

Thank you to all the LG workers, past and present (Selam, Eva, Mia, Theresa, Martha, Elnora, Larissa, Cecilia and others). LG consistently provides a safe, healthy, and caring place for our Mom. Of course there has been some turnover in the LG caregivers at times, but the team is consistently high quality and caring. Thank you!

My husband has gotten excellent care overall. He is understood and has been kept safe, clean, and satisfied. I respect the staff, and they show respect for my husband and me.

They are open to suggestions - I have a 40+ professional nursing career:) I am grateful for the individualized approach and the quick response to any changes they notice, so I can take action and get the care needed.

I have a history with medical and visiting places like this. This location is not the best…read more Aside from the depressive feel of people sitting in the hallways or wandering around, pay attention when you check this place out. Residents with food on them, one laying in the floor, others on their bedding fully clothes in the same clothing for days at a time. There's definitely a storage of staff here, if an issue is addressed, they have excuses. It's hard to find a decent place, but I'd suggest checking out other locations as this one takes the financial side over the patient care

The only way this facility could be considered a desirable place to live out your golden years, is…read moreif you haven't compared it to any other. The meals are substandard, the staff changes rapidly due to the fact that they are not qualified and seek better employment, the whole feel of the place is depressing. They spend a lot of money on image, but let the place fall apart. It is often voted best facility in Woodland because the administrators con every inmate to vote positive. When my mom decided that she needed to move into such a facility as this she choose The Califonian. At the time we did no comparing because she had made up her mind that that was the best. The units have no kitchen facilities except a sink. The first summer her unit reached a consistant 93 degrees regardless of having the cooling switch on. (We found out later the switch was not hooked up to anything. The administrators controlled the system) We eventually bought her a portable A/C rather than have her live so miserably. The frame of mind of these folks is don't complain, because there is so much you have to dend on them for. Any way there are to many things to mention than I can fit in this review. After her living there a year we had such a true sense of how horrible tbe place was we started looking around for a better facility. She is now in a place that is professionally run, has truely capable people working there, the cafeteria is more like a restaurant, the mood is amazing, and on top of that it is less expensive. All I can say is check around before you put your loved one in this hell hole. I can testify there are much better facilities for the same or less expenditure.

**January 2026 Update** I had high hopes when the Ensign…read moreGroup purchased the facility in August 2025. Those hopes and the hopes of others have diminished over the last 6 months. The Administrator told several of us that he wouldn't be reading our emails and we were to address issues to the managers. The managers would be running their departments like their own businesses. I contacted the company Compliance line (9/25 & 1/26) as well as the California Department of Public Health over dirty silverware after repeatedly contacting both the Administrator and the Dietary Manager. In December I sent a separate email to the current Dietary Manager that the proper procedures (as explained in September by the Infection Control Nurse) were not being followed by some employees due to the condition of the what was received. Her response, "I will review with my staff. Also, we are going to rotate in new silverware" (12/26/25). Yet, I continue to receive dirty utensils as recent as 1/15/26. The residents routinely are missing things from the meal trays (butter, milk, condiments, utensils...) causing the CNAs to leave the floor and deal with hostile kitchen staff. Food preferences are often ignored (request to have small portions and food choices). I have repeatedly emailed about this as well as meals being early/late as well as menu changes with residents and staff not being notified. This is a big deal because the CNAs rely on scheduled meals to manage their time. I've come back from a shower and the food carts were in the hall 20 minutes early. Cold food on hot plates, food over cooked, mushy rice, flavorless meals.... I realize that this is institutional food, but there is a lack of attention to what goes on the plates. Milk is regularly out of inventory and residents are given cereal without milk on more than one occasion (a grocery store is next door from the facility) or chocolate milk to put on their cereal. The Administrator was copied on each email I sent to the Dietary Manager. I have been nice and I've been aggressive in my language regarding these and many others and neither approach has worked. I also have transcripts of weekly meetings with the Administrator and kitchen management where these issues and others were discussed. The Social Services Department has not processing medical referrals submitted by the facility Nurse Practitioner. One that was submitted in April and never processed. It was resubmitted in October and again January. Another was submitted in October and has not been addressed either. I manage my own appointments, but the facility must submit them to a medical facility. This is but one of many I have with the department. I decided this time I wasn't going to follow up to see how long it would take. During a November meeting with the Director of Nursing I had in November he stated that referrals were discussed daily. He directed Medical Records to see me and I requested the information showing that the October referrals has been requested and in the system. As of today the referrals haven't been processed. Housekeeping is also deficient. Most of the housekeepers do not thoroughly clean my room (others have the same issue). The showers have mold and there are often strange drippings on the walls. The lifts (standing & Hoyer) that are used for those of us who can't stand or need assistance standing were purchased that aren't adequate. These Hoyers don't get high enough to get people in their chairs or out of bed get stuck under beds. This issue was relayed to management several times yet somehow they were purchased anyway (initially they were rentals). The oldest lift is the one that most CNAs use but it has issues as well. The three Hoyer lifts I used in the last week all of them were dirty and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in some time. One had crusty finger prints and another had a layer of grime where the bar was welded. It's not unusual for the batteries not to be charged (I've had 3 batteries not be charged in a single day). Noise levels in the facility by staff at shift changes and other times are excessive. It often sounds like they are having a party while residents are trying to sleep (6:45am and 11:00pm). Management has been notified several times but that only helps for a short time. A refrigerator that was purchased to be used by residents (mandated by the State of California) sat unused for months while we waited for the rules of use to be written. Some of us have still not received the rules despite mentioning this to several managers. The screens on the windows and sliding glass doors have been broken since I came here 2 1/2 years ago. For these and many other reasons I would not feel comfortable having a family member receive care at Courtyard.
