I have not yet relocated my mother to this home yet, but we have begun the documentation process toward completion this week. I chose Edward James Retirement Home for the following reasons: —the administrator's introductory email was prompt and uncommonly polite —the introductory email wished us a blessed day, suggesting Christian values —the administrator is youthful (under 40), fit, and maintains a plant-based dietary lifestyle —her personality is charming, effervescent, and very sincere —she prepares all meals from scratch —her prepared and plated dinner was colorful and visually very appealing —the staff join the residents at meal times (they don't sit at a distance playing with their smart phones) —the 5 women already in her care seem to be suitable friends for my mother —the home is one highway exit north of my residence —the administrator visits the family homes of prospective residents in order to conduct an assessment before relocation —the administrator was willing to bring a sample meal with her for my mother to see and taste —the facility owns a vehicle that is able to transport an electronic commercial hospital-quality bariatric bed —the facility vehicle is able to transport fragile bed-ridden residents

There aren't enough words it's describe how wonderful this home is for our mother who has lived here 3 1/2 years. She has always been cared for like a VIP and all the residents are treated like they are one of their beautiful family members. We are forever grateful and thankful to [name removed] and her staff.

So blessed to have had my mom here

My mom had stayed at two other care homes prior to coming to Edward James. She was so blessed to have found this place. [Name removed] and all of the caregivers treated every resident with such care and sensitivity. The holiday parties were always quite the event withe great food and entertainment. [Name removed] stayed up all night with my mom her last night while she let us get some rest. At 6:00 the next morning, [Name removed] was still with my mom, and at 7:18 at she passed away. I am so thankful that this is where Mama spent the last three years of her life. Mama loved it here and all the caregivers loved her. In fact, they all called her "Nanay", which in Tagalog means "Mother".

[Removed] and her team are some of the kindest, most attentive, and hand working people I know. We’ve tried other places before finding [Removed], and I would not on trust my grandpa to anyone else. [Removed] goes above and beyond, scheduling outings to his favorite places, providing entertainment and parties in the home, and most importantly, making sure he receives great medical care. [Removed] personally manages his records and often accompanies us to appointments. He always receives his medications on time, and with care and love. He’s a person to them and feels like family. [Removed] is simply the best in the industry.

My father lives in this board and care and it is truly a wonderful place. The owner [Removed] is an extremely caring person and also very professional and meticulous in how she runs her facility. Her staff is tremendous and kind while giving the needed care and concern to the residents. Very clean, great food, exceptional care.

One of the best decisions I've made. Sine Parkinson's snuck-up on me, my expectations have been exceeded in so many areas; quality of staff, clean linens, maintenance, quality of food, outings, and best of all the caring attitude of everybody involved. To summarize it is a great place!

Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

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