Parkrose Gardens of Fairfield - Fairfield, CA

I was greeted by [Removed] and his executive when I arrived. Both individuals gave me a tour of the facility and explained everything to me. The building is very large and clean, and the patients appear to be content and happy. After the tour we sat down and [Removed] explained everything to me. He will help me with all the paperwork and to make the change from home care to care at the facility easy. This was one of my most urgent needs, because I did not know how my wife would accept the transition. I am sure that if I choose this place my wife will receive excellent care.

Cost has alway been a high priority, because if I know I won't be able to afford my husbands care, why even look. Nazareth is new, clean, well organized, with pleasant rooms, good food and excellent attention given to its residents. Many thanks to Erin and Charlie for leading me to this place. The search has been going for well over a year. Finding Nazareth was like hitting the jackpot. Their basic rates and service levels of care are reasonable and logical, unlike many of the larger facilities owned by huge corporations.
Nazareth cares and it is obvious from the moment you step inside, the professionalism of the staff reassures you that your loved one will be well cared for.

Its been a pleasure having my mom here. The road was rocky with her adjustment and finally when they put her on the right medications her behavior improved overnight. The staff is very friendly and they partnered with me to help my mom in her adjustment. The meals are good and the residents seems happy. If any concerns I had they were addressed promptly. I do think they can use more caregivers.

This is a nice community for my mom. The staff is doing a excellent job with her care. I am happy that she is involved with alot of great activities here. I would inform others of the great care here.

This is a community that is clean and taken care of. The staff does not pay enough attention to the patients. The food was good and he seemed happy with the meals. Families may consider this community for care for a loved one.

My dad stayed at Nazareth Classic Care of Fairfield for almost 5 months until he passes away. He had dementia and required round the clock care to include assistance with getting dressed, showering and eating. The staff at Nazareth Classic Care of Fairfield are a true blessing. Yes it is their job to care for the residents there but watching them interact not only with my dad but the other residents as well, it was obvious that to the staff it was much more than just a job to pay the bill; they truly care about the residents and their quality of life.

Prior to placing my dad in a assisted care facility I checked into other locations however many of them basically just wanted to get paid and were either not trained in caring for someone with dementia or their facility was a house turned into a care home and did not have the amount of staff or resources available to provide the amount of care that we wanted for my dad.

Nazareth Classic Care of Fairfield has a large and GREAT staff that shows kindness and compassion to all the residents, the facility is quite large with day rooms for the residents to fellowship in, there is a schedule with singing, dancing and other activities to keep the residents mind and body active, a large courtyard for the residents to walk in or sit and enjoy the weather and a very nice dining facility where the staff assigns each resident their own seat with a place mat that has a specific design on it so the resident can tell that this is their seat. When it was meal time my dad knew to look for his sign and that was his seat.

You can call 24 hours a day to check on your loved one and visiting hours are open for most of the day into the late evening which makes it easier to be able to see your loved one.

While my dad was only there for 5 months before he passed away I know that his last months and days with us were good because he had an excellent quality of life. It is a little pricey but like the saying goes - you get what you pay for. For us we wanted dad to have the best possible care and quality of life and he definitely received it there.

Placing a loved one in a long term care facility is never an easy decision but the staff and the director of Nazareth Classic Care of Fairfield made it as easy as possible, they were compassionate and understanding to my mom and I and they kept their promise of taking great care of my dad. In addition, they are highly trained and experienced in caring for elderly residents who have dementia or Alzheimer's so they know what to expect with the residents vs. a care facility that does not have staff trained to care for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's and the resident is then not properly cared for.

I would HIGHLY recommend Nazareth Classic Care of Fairfield to anyone who must place a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer's into a assisted care facility.

My mother in law was only at this community for a short time. They did not follow through on what they said when we first looked at this community. They were not taking care of my mother in law they way we thought they would. The night staff were neglecting her. They did not encourage her to be active. They lost some of her clothing. They did not always have basic toiletries available.

The care has been okay, I am some what happy with the care. I have arranged for a hospice nurse to give extra care for my dad's needs. I believe there is a lot of residents here and it gets tough for the staff. However, they are understanding his characteristics and try to get him active. The community is a clean place and they are good about keeping everything clean. They also have a nice courtyard in the front and back. My dad and the residents like the rabbits they have.

Mom is still adjusting to living at Nazareth. The building is kept clean and well maintained. I tried the food and I thought it was good. Mom is gaining weight so she seems to like it. They offer daily activities and I would recommend this community.

I liked this community a lot. It seemed more happier and looks more like a resort. I really enjoyed the home environment. Charlie was a good ambassador for the tour, he is informative and gave me full attention. The price was a bit much for our budget.

My mom is settling in well at this community. The staff are all very good. They are very caring, competent and know each resident individually. They have 2 patios for the residents to enjoy the outdoors and lots of activities to enjoy as well. Mom likes the food and the community is kept clean.

Our dear friend needed to be in a safe and caring environment. When we first visited Nazareth we were impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, the pictures and decorations on the walls, the smiling faces of staff members and friendly atmosphere. Community Relations Director Charlie Wolff and Executive Director Daisy Santos led us on an initial tour and inspired confidence in us that Nazareth was the right place for our friend. As I write this review, our dearest friend has been living at Nazareth now for five weeks. She has adjusted well and is happy in her new home. She has thrived, has made new friends among the other residents and the staff. It is wonderful to visit our friend and observe the warm and friendly interaction between her and the staff. We are grateful to a Place for Mom, who initially recommended Nazareth to us. We are very pleased with our dear friends care. We recommend Nazareth to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation with a loved one.

My aunt is finally adjusting with the move into Nazareth Classic Care. The community is very well kept and looks really nice and clean. The staff here has been accommodating and helpful. We do have some language issues sometimes, but the staff are all friendly and kind and try their best to help. She has participated in some activities, and it is nice to see her get up and out. The food here is excellent: smells good and looks good. The only drawback was the part of town the community is in, but I know my aunt is in a gated community and is safe. I would highly recommend this community.

Dad has been at Nazareth for a short time and since he has been there his health has been on a serious decline. Not because of the community but because Dad doesn't want to be there and not doing the things he should. I've been there several times and each time it's been a good experience. The food looks and smells great and the residents seem to really enjoy their meals. The staff have been very helpful and always responsive to any concerns.

This has been a really great experience for my Aunt so far. Since she's moved into Nazareth she has been really involved in the community and loves being there. She plays scrabble with friends and goes to their church service every Sunday. She really likes the food and has even picked up some weight since moving in. If I were speaking with friends considering the place I;d be sure to tell them what a wonderful place this is and how they'll have a peace of mind knowing that their loved one is being cared for and in good hands!

I think that they do a good job in talking to the residents with tact and kindness. The staff interacts well with everyone there, so they aren't just standing on the sidelines. The food is really good too.

Nazareth has been a great place. I would rate them very highly. We have been very happy with them. They are doing a wonderful job.

One of their best things is that they run everything at the understanding of the residents and meet them head-on and they do it very well. They constantly bend to what the residents need. The other things is that each person really knows the residents there and I find that very comforting.

The people at Nazareth Classic Care of Fairfield are very nice, and it is a really nice place. The thing I really don't like too much about it is that it is a little noisy. They have karaoke and other various activities going on which I know the other residents enjoy, but my mother would prefer a more calm peaceful quiet environment. There is also a bit of a language barrier between myself and some of the staff which can be challenging at times. It is a nice place, but all things considered I just don't think it is right for us so we will be looking to move mom elsewhere.

At first sight and upon meeting the staff, I was completely impressed with Nazareth. I will say that, at a time of having to make a very difficult decision regarding my father, they were the only place locally that would take him in and meet his needs since he had Alzheimer's. His doctors and Kaiser kept telling me to find a Board & Care, but those places weren't going to offer him a 24/7 nursing staff like he needed. About a week after I moved him in, he got out the back door (because it was evidently left open). In his confusion, he wandered around and finally crashed his wheelchair against the iron gate surrounding the back courtyard, causing extensive injuries that included a fractured neck. A neighbor found him but the staff was nowhere to be found for at least 20 minutes. They literally had not missed him for over an hour! To make a long story short, he died three weeks later. I appreciate Nazareth's concept, but I'm not sure I would hire them again to care for my loved one(s).

Everything has been outstanding so far at Nazareth Classic Care! It is a nice looking, well kept, clean community, and the staff have all been very friendly and professional. They take great care of all their residents here, and we're very pleased with them overall.
We did have one one issue where we gave them some some specific instructions about which medications to order for her, and they apparently the instructions were passed passed along properly. They ordered all her normal medications instead of the specific ones we requested, which was inconvenient for us since we had to go cancel some orders at the pharmacy in person, but I am glad that they erred on the side of caution to make sure she had the medications she DID need.

My Mother has been living in Nazareth for 2 wks and so far it's been great for her.

This facility is not a very client friendly place! Staff members are under trained, they are lazy, and are very ruff with the seniors there. My Mom had black eye and not owned up to how it happen. Not very clear records with medication distribution. Don't send your family or friends to this place!

They are very professional and it is great… there is very low turn over. They have lots of activities for residents. They are very personable. They’re like you’re family. I’ve heard the food is very good. There is enough parking.

They’re very nice people. They could be a little cleaner, but they’re a great value and we’ve been very happy with the care services they offer. The activities are also really good. They are really very nice people.

They are very friendly and I think they are a good value for the money. The only problem we have had has been with some specific unique, personal security issues. We haven't had any complaints about the food. We liked the affordability with a locked facility, and that would take an aggressive patient.

Staff has been very helpful in assisting with the move into their facility, including how to obtain VA benefits to help pay for the room. All of the staff are friendly and Mom is happy with the staff. Being in a shared room has been a bit problematic as the other roommate has a higher level of dementia defect and has been stealing Mom's clothes, but the staff have been very diligent at retrieving her items. Apparently it is not uncommon that clothing "disappears" as some residents don't know what is theirs or not. They are also working on finding a different roommate that will be more compatible with Mom so they are aware of the issues and willing to make adjustments so that everyone is better off. They have lots of group activities and a nice dining room. The staff are really great.

Secure facility but still have freedom to walk in open gardens and inside the building. Lots of on-site services including a medical center and salon. Visitation schedule is 24 hrs, compared to others that end at 8pm. Has affordable flat rate, no LOC.

My mom was placed here about 3 1/2 months ago. I've heard a lot of horror stories about these places so I was very worried at first but my experience thus far has been good. The staff is great, always friendly and willing to help with whatever. They keep the facility very clean. Mom took a little while to adjust but now seems pretty ok with her living situation. The food is good. The big thing is I know she's in a safe place now and taken care of.

It's going good. As of right now we're very happy with placing our friend there. She seems to be getting more care than the place before. When I was sent info about information about Nazareth they're actually priced higher than what I was quoted but they were still very reasonable.

She's only been there a month. As of right now we're fairly happy with her being there. We think it's very clean. It's more of a special care unit that she's in now specifically for people with Alzheimer's and dementia.

Nazareth is requesting a rehab nurse come and check Barbara out. Another thing I really like about Nazareth is they have 2 doctors who actually come to the facility and examine the patients at the community which is such a huge help.

I am very pleased with Nazareth, I couldn't have my mom in a better place. The staff is very nice and they take very good care of my mom. They have really changed my prospective on senior communities. They are like a life saver to me. Knowing my mom is safe and taken care of provides me with peace of mind. The staff has been here a long time and they are always courteous and very professional. If you care about your loved one and want them to be very well taken care of I would recommend Nazareth.

My mother has been there for 2 weeks now. As far as the value and care services, time will tell but the initial impressions are good. They talk about activities a lot which is one of the reasons we chose them, but we haven't seen any just yet. The largest reason we chose Nazareth was the cost. They were able to get my mom in under a program where she is paying 2/3 of their standard rate. That and the quality of the community were the factors that came in to play.

When I was here for the tour it was just not a good experience. They have a garden where the residents can go and relax, but every time one of the residents opens the door to go this loud alarm goes off to let the staff know someone is going. I can understand why they have it but people were going in and out the entire time so it seemed as if the alarm just stayed on. Seemed like complete chaos and they had no formal activities. The only memory exercises they have are on the computers and in my experience 70 year old people are not the most computer savvy people.

I felt the visit was staged during my visit. there are two levels/floor 2nd flr was designated for low income residents and residents that require more care. although each group above are on same floor but separate wings the odor of incontinence was present immediately stepping off the elevator.

The only thing that keeps them from getting 5 stars is that they do not offer skilled nursing. We chose this community based off recommendations from A Place for Mom and the location of the community. It is conveniently located for our family and really made the most logistical sense for us. The staff they have here is great and we would recommend this community to anyone.

My daughter and I did tour Nazareth Classic Care of Fairfield and were pleased with what we saw. Charlie Wolff was very nice and more than helpful, as well as members of his staff. The rooms are very good size and pleasant. The level of dementia in the residents we observed seemed a litte more advanced than my mom's, so we ended up choosing Emeritus of Vacaville as she seemed to fit in better with the residents there, which we felt would be a better social environment for her personality.

Nazareth is really nice, they worked with us and our special circumstance. The people there are really friendly and extremely helpful.
