Key Review Excerpts
“The staff at Sonoma has been always very helpful and caring for my elderly mother. She recently celebrated her 101st birthday there and they threw her a wonderful party and brought in a very talented violin player, and everyone had a wonderful time.”
“We have been blessed to find Sonoma house for mom. She has been in assisted living for almost a year and we are happy with her care. Veta (executive director), Cossandra (nurse), Teresa (wellness coordinator), Adriana (house manager), and all the office staff have been absolutely wonderful!!”
“My wife was in Sonoma House memory care until mid-April 2023. I finally decided to move her to another facility as, in my and my opinion, the quality of her care declined significantly, especially after January 2023. Also, in December, she fell in her room and was not discovered for some time.”
