Reviews
Things to know to better advocate for your loved one!
Most dealings were with receptionist vs administrative staff and she appeared to be quite knowledgeable. Not all care staff implemented orders given by doctor or hospice. Some staff unaware of orders, others just didn't do them. At times med techs became defensive if asked why something was being done in a particular way ie: medications. Some staff members were exceptional! Activities not varied enough, primarily bingo or watch a movie. Band/music days were well attended and seemed to be well liked. At times it was fairly noticeable as to which residents were the "favored" ones. Recommended that some staff members from a variety of their departments could use a bit of sensitivity training based on comments made directly to family members or comments overheard by visitors.

Vaca Valley
My loved one really likes it at Vaca Valley. Very nice people and staff are very friendly and helpful. I would tell others if you have any concerns, always ask as I do. I'm very observant and very critical. They always respond with a very nice demeanor. They always welcome everyone as you come in to the building and always ask if there is anything they can help with

VerifiedWe toured Vaca Valley Living when looking for a Memory Care facility for our loved one. This facility was nice! We had a very nice tour. However, there was not a very large patio for walking. We decided to continue on with our search.

The executive staff at Vaca Valley was extreamly helpful with the resistration process and helping with every step along the way in transitioning out father from independent living to Vaca Valley Memory Care. Once placed, the staff has been patient and kind as we have observed first hand visiting our Dad. His health has improved dramatically after settling in for the past few months. Many thanks!

It takes very special people to take care of people with Dementia day in and out. Nichole and staff always so positive. Peace of mind knowing your loved ones are well taken care of. My Dad has been there for the last 6 months, Literally his caregiver at home was starving him. Thank the lord we found Vacaville living when we did. He eats well and is doing so much better.Thanks to the wonderful team there.

I am a caregiver for a friend who has been a resident with VVL for 6 months, and was previously in Assisted Living. We have gone through memory changes, with some sad issues where my friend was agitated and self harming. Through it all, the staff (admin, nursing, aides, support personnel as well as doc at KP) was supportive of me and my friend as her meds were adjusted. Staff never complained, but were quick to inform me of issues, so we could work through what was best for her. I know the change to VVL memory care is the perfect fit for me and my friend. I am so glad I took a tour and met with staff when the decision for me care was needed.

Our family struggled to place Grandma, Dad, and Mom in memory care all at the same time. We never imagined what a wonderful place we would find for all three of them to have their needs met. Nicole and the staff have exceeded our very high standards. Vaca Valley Living is intimate and all staff know my Mom, Grandma and Dad. We feel blessed to have found Vaca Valley Living.

I toured Vaca Valley Living for my mom. It was very clean. They were very organized. I liked that they had the monthly calendar of the schedule of activities, and they seemed very, very concerned to keep the residents involved, active, and stimulated. I like the rooms. They were bright, and they were clean. There is a lot of space and it was a Jack-and-Jill bathroom that my mother only had to share with one other person, who had a room on the other side. Where she is now, there is sort of like a community bathroom that five people shared, and then there was a shower for like 10 people. Here, she's sharing a shower with just one other person and a toilet with just one other person. So I like that, too. The staff seemed very cheerful and caring.

My Mom has been at Vaca Valley living for several months now. Getting her in was a bit of a nightmare dealing with Kaiser doctors, but Nicole helped my brother and I every step of the way possible. My Mom went from being a bit of a hermit to now enjoying activities with her fellow house mates and the staff. I believe they’ve gone through some short staffing issues, but have been working through it and hiring more employees to assist. The facilities are newer, well kept and the food is served with love and care. My Mom, brother, and I toured facilities in both Vacaville and Fairfield and this one by far is the best. I am very happy and relieved to have found Vaca Valley Living for my Mom and that she feels safe and happy.

Be sure to label each and every belonging of your loved ones. Items tend to disappear because of the residents don’t remember where to put things. Residents tend to leave things in common areas and other residents may pick them up and put them in their own rooms. Having everything labeled makes it easier for the staff to return things to the right rooms.

Vaca Valley Living was strictly memory care. I wouldn't recommend them for residents with short-term memory issues that don't have behavioral problems or aren't screaming out or yelling. The people there were screaming during every meal. The staff was very young, immature, and inexperienced; it was chaotic. Her room was a good size, but it wasn't very homey. She had a shared room and a shared bathroom, which separated the room. The food was awful. It was like pasta every single night with no vegetables, and they served a really a tiny amount. They had one activity person, and the activities weren't every day. The facility was very new, modern, and updated.
