Nursing Homes Community in Manteca, California

My mom is now at Manteca. It is an older place, but they're making it look better. I don't particularly care for the staff. I didn't pick this place, my mom did. The reason why she did was because of the spacious room, and because she was able to have a two-bedrooms, one-bath that would allow my sister to come and visit for two weeks. The first couple of nights were hard for my mother, so I went to the staff and asked, "What would you suggest to make her feel more comfortable?" That would be a question that they should be able to answer in an effective way, but she said, "Well, that's not our problem; that's something the family has to work out." That could have been handled differently. The staff isn't my greatest ally. If we have problems, we're going to have to figure it ourselves. We chose Manteca because they were pet friendly, they had the room available, and they let you have a visitor for two weeks. My sister also has a dog, so she and her husband were able to come down from Idaho and stayed two weeks within the community, and my mom has a place to house them. That's the only reason why we chose them.

It was the most wonderful place I've seen. It reminded me of a 4-star hotel. The rooms were nice sized and had a living area, separate little kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. It looked like a regular little apartment to me. The dining room was huge. The activities were pretty nice, too. They had a pool room, a little library, a kitchen, cooking demonstrations, happy hour on Fridays, a room where they do yoga, an exercise room, and a separate dining room if you wanted to have birthday parties for your family.

It is good. They help ease my father's frustration of having to be in assisted living. The staff is wonderful. They treat him very well, and they're taking good care of him. The dining area is great. They're very understanding and accommodating. Everybody's having a good time, but he's not really involved in the activities.

Brookdale Manteca is a wonderful place to be. The staff members are great, except one whoI don't like, but hey, you can't like everybody. The caregivers are great. I have a one-bedroom with a kitchen. They offer everything, like balloon volleyball. They have poker and bingo, too. We have a party, which they call happy hour from 3 to 4:30 with live music. It's great. We have everything here. They do laundry and housekeeping. All the careivers are wonderful.

The one we picked was Brookdale Manteca. It is warm and cozy and has a more at-home feeling than the rest that we saw. The staff is wonderful. One of the things we like about it is that some of the staff has been there for 10 years. They have a lot of amenities and activities for the people. They take the shuttle to and from wherever residents want to go. The rooms are clean, and comfortable.
