Brunswick Village Assisted Living in Grass Valley, CA

5.0
They were wonderful help with Mom's passing. Very caring. Mom didn't want to go but fell in love with Brunswick village within a couple weeks. Loved that even needing memory care she was able to have her own room. You become part of a large family at Brunswick Village.

Atria Grass Valley

3.0
Meals are an issue. Our loved one is a vegetarian and has aphasia so it hard for her to ask for what she needs. if they didn't use beef or chicken stock in everything they made it would be so much easier for her to eat from their menu. Everything else is great.
