Review: This is board and care by a professional company- in an actual home. Right off the bat- it feels like home, because it is one. My grandmother has lived at the murrieta Sarah’s assisted living for 7 months now. We are happy... she is *mostly happy. She has dementia. First of all- she is safe. Her safety is the priority. They have locks and door/window sensors and They have around the clock care. They do the cooking and cleaning... all the things a bigger facility does except all the social things. My grandma is a little lonely. The other seniors kinda keep to themselves- or they are more progressed into their dementia. She’s a talker... so she has befriended the caretakers. Actually, my grandmas thinks she works there too! not a new story, just a new place! The caretakers seem to be good sports about it. They have called me when she needs to see a doctor because they notice! They have called when she’s upset- because she gets upset at times. They have called when she’s out of supplies- because they take note. When your loved one is losing who they are... it’s so hard to take them to strangers and expect them to care- but I think they do! We are also on a tight budget- the whole family chips into my grams care... and these home places are less expensive than the bigger facilities- and we haven’t been nickeld and dimed here. We Had her in a bigger facility and they tried raising her care costs every couple of months- they don’t do that here! All in all- it has been a positive experience. Highly recommend!
