our families experience
Some of the caregivers deserve a strong 5. Others deserve maybe a 3 or 4. Overall, I feel the staff is stretched too thin, and mom does not get the personal attention she needs. But maybe that's the way it is in all care homes. Mom's food is pureed, doctor's orders. She can't feed herself,

our families experience
Some of the caregivers deserve a strong 5. Others deserve maybe a 3 or 4. Overall, I feel the staff is stretched too thin, and mom does not get the personal attention she needs. But maybe that's the way it is in all care homes. Mom's food is pureed, doctor's orders. She can't feed herself, so the staff feeds her. Some do that better than others. Mom can't do any activities. She just sits in front of a TV. I've seen activities in the Assisted Living section; live music, games. But Mom's in Memory Care. There are fewer activities here, but mom can't do anything anyway. VHR raised the rate nearly 10% before our contract allowed for a rate increase. Recently, VHR raised rates by about another 10%. It. It was a good value initially, but I'm not so sure anymore.

The director was very helpful with the questions I had for my Mom and her husband. Once a decision was made, She also made the tour experience pleasant for my Mom. Extra compassion and empathy was needed and it was provided. The facility is homey and inviting with its furnishings and colors.

caring and compassionate staff
When we came to visit we noticed right away just how clean the community was, and that our loved ones clothes were all clean and put away. We would definitely recommend this community to others the staff that work there are very hard working and very loving. They have been able to manage our loved ones medication which is great. Our loved one is a fall risk and if and whenever our loved one does fall they call us immediately. When we first moved our loved one in the meals were fantastic they were phenomenal but now they have gone through a few different chefs so the food is kind of a hit or miss. They do have an activities calendar but with still some covid restriction's we just aren't sure exactly what all is happening.

Comfort Level for the Family
This has been a very positive, happy, and clean place for my loved one. The staff are very helpful in answering the family's questions, and have responded quickly with answers. There are three meals a day served to the residents, and they have snacks available as well. Card games, baking, exercise classes, karaoke, and more are some of the activities available for the residents to choose from.

Pleased with our experience
I get most of my information from my cousin who visits more often but it seems that our loved one is very happy here and we could not be more pleased. The staff members are helpful, friendly and informative. They are great with communication and always call us right away if something happens. Personally I think this is one of the best in the county. We feel so blessed and thankful and we would recommend them to others looking.

Thumbs down
Don't send your loved ones there! I have a friend that lives there. Place is overpriced and does not provide what is listed. Went for a visit and read the activity calendar, but there was no activities being done. Residents seemed bored and not entertained. Staffing is low, saw 1 caregiver running around very busy. Dining room food is not the best, my friend said they don't serve what is listed because they run out of supplies. Saw a sign in one of the bathrooms saying it was out of order. Toured the Dementia unit and it is worse! You can smell urine just walking in. I see residents walking around with no shoes and some that look like they haven't bathed, changed their clothes, or even shaved. They just had their residents sitting in the living area with no activities being done. It's a pity they residents are paying so much for bad quality care.

[Name removed] was lovely and invited us back for a meal and activities. The shared space available was so small I don't think you could fit a double bed into it. I would have to walk through my "roommate's" room every time I wanted to leave my room, and she would have to walk through mine every time she needed to use the bathroom. I think these rooms were originally a one bedroom apartment. It had a huge closet. The rest was not only small but also with many awkward angles. The place was quite clean and did not smell. [Name removed] knew everyone and called them all by name. The carpeting was a little less than pristine. The location felt very safe and was behind a shopping mall which would be easy to get to. I thought it was very pricey for the space involved.

Large but clean
Very big place. Some turn over. My relative likes the food. They are patient with her even thought she can get angry over nothing. Made her move to a private room because she was bothering her room mate, not too happy about that because they declared her difficult and charge more. There is very good communication. Very very clean place. I like that. I'd recommend it to someone whose placed person doesn't need closeness to staff members. Lots of activities but need to sign up for them.

Terrible Facility!
This is a terrible facility! Do not send a loved one to this place. Low paid and Untrained staff. Shady accounting practices. Parent died here because of neglect. They never provided the services they promised. There is a reason there are so many lawsuits against Brookdale. They are a greedy corporate entity. They pay their workers terrible and have very high turnover!

Pretty Nice
I toured at Brookdale Salinas for my loved one. I thought that the community was pretty nice, but, I also thought that for the price, it was more expensive for fewer amenities. In addition, they did not have any openings when we were looking, so we continued searching.

Encouraging staff!
My mother is doing well since her move to the Brookdale Salinas. The staff is wonderful and friendly. They offer a variety of activities, my mother has not joined them but we encourage her to do so. The only thing I wish they could improve on is communication during meal time. My mother and other residents do not always know when meal time is. Other than that, we are very happy with this community.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Vista Harden Ranch 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
