Grace Management, Inc

We placed our mom here for a few months but had to remove her because it was horrible. The food is awful, the place is dirty. We tried to talk with the executive director several times but she was just rude to us. It's too bad, some of the staff are nice

The food isn't fit to feed hogs. The owner Grace Mgt is mean toward the residents. We are treated like inmates. The place is infested with cockroaches. The mental condition of most residents is so poor that they require nursing care.

They serve incredibly awful food. If you asked other residents that don't have dementia they would tell you. Also, they didn't keep my parents clean. They didn't involve them in activities very often. There were medication discrepancies and my mother's hearing aides were never charged even though they take them to the office each night to charge them. Also my mom and dad had bruises in unusual places. We also had to bring in water bottles for them because they said we had to. Very lacking in care. Also, when we moved them out a lot of their belongings were missing - a lot!!!

I do not recommend Northgate Park. Staff does not come when they are needed. Takes a long time to respond. Hippa violation. Sharing personal information with other residents.

Zero rating, A Place for Mom set up an appointment and they never called me, I called them to set up a tour and never got a call back.

If you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask, they will not allow you to visit residents. They require a COVID test at the main reception but even with a negative test result you are denied entry.

If you are thinking of putting your family in this place save yourself the stress.the management sucks and most of the aids are lazy. Then you call them out on stuff and they make it a nightmare and the director will sit there and cover for his employees even when you have proof of what’s going on. Also beware they will tell you one thing and once they have you in there due the total opposite. Also they will keep jacking up your rent if you need more assistance. This place is out ravenous and the one aid on night shift is so nasty and rude. All I’m saying is save yourself the stress and find another place.

When I moved my mother in in 2019 this was an excellent facility. The memory support program was attractive, particularly the focus on cognitively stimulating activities and the freedom to participate in the regular assisted living program. The staff were dedicated to providing the best possible home for the residents. Particularly essential was the memory care activities director: she cared deeply, always providing creative activities and emotional support. I don't know how we would have survived the Covid lockdown without her; despite her own cancer treatment she was there nearly everyday, providing support and keeping residents and families connected. With new management much has changed. Most of the staff that I knew initially have left. Memory support residents are not permitted out of their specific area. The number of staff, the food and many other things have changed for the worse. I am grateful that my mother passed away before most of these changes.

We did not have a good experience overall. Our loved one went into assisted living, and on his first day there, they diagnosed him with sun downing (which we had no idea about). So he had to move to memory care. They lost all his clothes, so we had to keep bring him more. His room was nice with a nice view, but it always smelled and wasn't cleaned thoroughly. Otherwise it was really a nice facility and pretty new, so the common areas were clean and new. They had some good employees. The food was pretty good, but in memory care they didn't offer choices since that can be hard for people with dementia to communicate. They had activities that a lot of people were participating in. But we just found the services in memory care to be lacking, and it ended up not being a good transition for him. We ended up moving him to another memory care facility where he was able to thrive.

I’m a dog walker & have a client whose dog I walk at least 2x a week. The family was told to rehome the dog as she was barking at night. The family & caretakers of the woman have tried to find a compromise but the director does not want to hear it. I talked to [name removed] at the front desk & she suggested the dog stay in her office at night b/c nobody would be able to hear her & she’d have a bark collar on that the resident kept trying to take off at night. The upper mgmt doesn’t care. I understand the complaints from the neighbors but I would’ve done anything to keep them together. The resident is declining & once her dog is taken away, her family & aides will have to watch her die slowly of pain & heartache & they won’t be able to do anything about it. These people so blatantly only care about convenience, instead of doing the right thing even when it’s hard. & holy $$$!!!! I just despise this place now & I will never walk here again. This resident’s inevitable decline is on your hands.

absolutely horrible place to live. they dont accommodate for living needs. upper management is beyond rude and unwilling to help with simple requests. if im spending 3500+ here i expect a decent place to live . DO NOT LIVE HERE

Fake advertising. Fake people. Coverups. Nothing addressed.

When my mother first moved into Heritage Oaks she loved it. The food has never been good. Her biggest complaint is the food is never hot. The new director has come in and changed the activities and most of the people are not happy. I heard second hand he said he didn’t care. I was leaving the other day and a women came in with her walker and said “back to hell”. How sad! I was also told he hired his wife who is an Interior Decorator, this place is beautiful.

Under staffed and lack of caring in the last couple of years. Most of the time I visit they don't even realize I have been there. They only have a few aids to care for all the rooms. Not a place I can recommend.

We did not have a good situation, my loved one got in here and they went into covid lockdown. They were understaffed and it affected their quality of food tremendously. I would tell others to understand and manage your expectations as to the medical supervision that is provided. If your loved one is going to need a lot of attention and hands on care, this would not be a good fit for them. When I look back, it was a bad experience but it was not fully their fault.

The friendliness of the staff members really varied depending on who you spoke with, we did have a couple of really good nurses but the bad just outweighed the good. The Magnolia is a very nice looking community, they promises you the moon and the stars but follow through with nothing. We could not rate our experience with the memory care side any lower. They do not have adequate staffing, adequate care and there is major medical mismanagement going on. There is a total lack of cleanliness. Night times in particular none of the residents are taken care of. We pulled out loved one out in fear they would pass away there. Everything was swept under the rug, they did not care about our family. The activities included watching recordings on the television. Our loved one slept all during the day, which we believe was due to the medication. They never had a care plan for our loved one, and it was just a bad experience.

The staff seems friendly at first. Then we visited our mom different times during the day and you would start seeing how horrible they are. They put on a friendly face when family/visitors are around but when they don't see you its a different story. I visited there multiple times in the past 3 months during different hours. They ignore residents who are trying to get their attention. If your family member on the memory care unit they want to drug them up. They stay slouched over in a chair. Thank God we had our mom removed from this place. If you are not going to provide excellent care and service, shut down your business and do something else. For those with loved ones, choose carefully and choose elsewhere. By the way our Mom is back to being alert and doing much better.

My Sister-In-Law was in Elmcroft for nearly 22 months. After paying for [date removed] we were called on April 2nd and told to get her out of the facility. We moved her on [date removed]. The reason we were given, "She needs to be in Memory Care". Please Note: Elmcroft advertises they are a Memory Care Facility. They tried to cheat her out of an extra day's cost. It took nearly a month to get all of her refund. Laundry service was included in the monthly price. We had to do her laundry for her since they weren't keeping up with the laundry. There were full bags of urine soaked clothes in her room. The Patient needed to be checked on and taken to the bathroom in a more timely manner. Most of the times we visited her she was sitting in urine soaked clothes.

When I first arrived to the community my room was very dirty. The shower had mold and hair in it, the refrigerator was not clean and the trash was very full. The room was just terribly dirty and to work the TV you had to plug it in and out. The people were very friendly, the food was excellent, the nurses could not of been nicer, but the 4 days I was there I was very disappointed.

We took our loved one out because we did not think she was receiving good care. We picked her up one day to go to the doctor and we found a 2-inch thick gash on her leg. She also was very hard of hearing so we bought ear plugs for her to plug into the TV so she could hear. When we went to the community one day, we realized the ear plugs were in the medicine cabinet. They were never given to our loved one.
