Key Review Excerpts

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.

Family member with multiple residents · 2023★★★★★

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 very much better.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

The facility is severely understaffed or staffed with completely irresponsible people, definitely the management staff is completely lacking. We had my father there for less then 3 months. During that time he was shave twice (my father was clean-shaven for hi entire life), his nails were never cut the entire stay
