Northstar Senior Living

Very nice and appear attentive to the needs of the elderly. like the idea of one price and care being all inclusive. appears to understand dementia patients have good days and bad days. Still a little pricing for what we are needing.

Specifically designed for Alzheimer's patients (even the building). The living & dining rooms are like home so it's familiar & not institutional. People live in separate areas that serve a max of 16 but they can freely move/visit in other inside & outside areas. Mostly private rooms. Lots of caring staff so there is no long wait for help. Nursing staff updates us on any changes in condition or treatment immediately. Staff talks to family to get info to get to know your family member. Example: talked to us when meds were refused & started giving them in ice cream- no more problem. They have infinite patience and treat the residents with respect. They are trained in how to deal with the difficulties that arise as Alzheimer's progresses and the resident's behaviors/abilities change. Best decision we've made is Somerford.

It's great. They have lots of activities, and we haven't had any complaints about food or laundry. We liked that the owner has been there fifteen years, and the building is fifteen years old. It's very clean and well maintained. It's a good place to stay, and they were really accommodating for us.

They are very loving and organized and caring. We haven't seen anything they need to improve, as of yet. They are flexible in working with families. They are communicative. They have been willing to work with us. We really like their flexibility and we chose them for their geographical location.

Pacifica Senior living is a super place to put a loved one. The staff is very courteous, caring and professional when it comes to personal care. Very willing to help wherever needed and will go beyond the call of duty if needed. My mother would still be there if she wasn't in long term care.

My parents both lived here, then moved out, then my dad moved back in. They had moved to an assisted living with a really high level of care, and he didn't need it. He is actually in assisted living at The Villa but everyone seems to be really high functioning and he fits in well. They do a variety of activities. They provide 3 meals a day as part of the accommodations. He feels like he is completely independent, and all they really have to help him with is medication. It is a great place - he is much happier here than at their other assisted living facility.

clean, great place. Certainly one I would consider for my mom

Somerford Place in Roseville has superior staff that is respectful and kind to the residents, their family and friends. My father (Leon ‘Ray’ Rhea) had attended the day program previously. Now that his memory issues have progressed, he lives in a shared room at Somerford Place, though he currently doesn’t have a roommate. The staff understands memory loss/changes/progression, and work to stimulate the resident appropriately and individually based on their needs. If you have a family member with memory issues, this is a 'peace of mind' place that honors, stimulates, cares for, and loves your family member, like they were their family. They engage the resident 7 days a week in daily activities appropriate to the individual. You will not find your family member sad or alone. Everything from nursing, general hygiene, meals, exercise, activities, mind stimulation, and simple conversations (though sometimes one sided) helps honor and respect the resident. I thank God for Somerford Place for my dad.

My husband is here now and I love it! The nurses and staffing are on top of everything. They communicate greatly with the doctors that are affiliated, with each other and with me. They're very attentive, I find, to all the residents. They know what's going on all the time - I don't know how the do it. I'm very pleased.

We loved it, but it was farther away for me from where I wanted to look. If he were able to go to more independent living I would look into this, I was really impressed with it. It was very upscale, a lot of things to do there and with independent living I think he could have gotten out a little more and the kind of people there were not as debilitated.

I would rate this community a 6. They are just a great community. They really know how to care for my loved one. It is very clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly. The food isn't great but when I visit I make sure I bring a bottle of hot sauce if I plan on eating. Overall it is a great community that I am happy my loved one is in.

Beautiful and perfect. Price may be a difficulty if long term placement.

Very nice place! LVN's and RN's on staff 24/7. Also, they will feed the patients, take them around in their wheel chairs, etc. if they cannot move around thereselves. Very carring atmostpher. Nice yard. They BBQ, and have lots of events. Works with Kaiser, and can provide transportation to and from Dr. Appts. I am approx. 5 mins. from the place too.

Very wonderful people and the residents seem so happy . Was nice to the see the folks who work here, engaging with the residents and lvoing their jobs! Awesome!

beautiful facility. Staff was real sharp and friendly. Nice kitchen. Residents seemed more active. nice gardens but no one outside. Rooms are large bedroom size and most have patio/garden access.

Tour completed. Impressive!

This is a good facility. They take loving care of the residents. The staff is very helpful. Communication is absolutely perfect. They keep me updated on my husband's needs and changes. I couldn't ask for more. I would recommend them to friends and family.

There were two deciding factors on why we chose Ocean Hills - one was the food, we were able to have a meal here and they good was very good, second off the staff members were extremely friendly. On the initial tour the staff knew everybody by name and greeted us all so it really felt like a family environment

Things at Ocean Hills have worked out wonderfully for my mom. They just started up activities and they are interviewing all of the residents so that they can cater the activities towards what the residents wants and desires are.

The staff members are very friendly even though at times they are short staffed.
