North Valley Senior Living

My mother has been in several memory care facilities and group homes since 2014 when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. After visiting dozens of facilities and care homes, I made the decision to move her to North Valley Senior Living. Nothing even comes close to this place. The ratio of staff to residents is excellent. It is clean, well-organized and they have a therapy dog which my mother loves. The previous care facilities were always losing her clothes and putting other people's clothes on her, which was extremely frustrating. It's refreshing to see her happy, clean, well-cared-for and wearing her own clothes! She gets all of her favorite foods and is served homemade nutritional meals which are cooked fresh for her on her schedule. Her private bedroom is cozy and charming. There is also a nice backyard with seating areas on the patio and near trees so she can get wheeled outside for some sunshine and fresh air. They are very good about pushing fluids and keeping her engaged in one activity or another. Every other week a beautician comes in to do her hair and fingernails which is included as part of the care cost. She has only been there a short time, but so far it's been a great experience. I was worried that moving to a new place would be hard on her, but she has adapted very well and gets plenty of attention. The place provides a sense that she is being left in the trusted care of family rather than a facility. I would give North Valley Senior Living ten stars if I could!
