Mom has been here a couple of years now and is still trying to get the fireplace fixed. The dishwasher that has to be fixed almost immediately is currently leaking from the overflow every time so she has to keep a towel there. Appliances are old, except for the stacked washer/dryer unit. Meals are included in the the price, which was increased significantly this year, but the food is pretty bad, according to Mom. They have on occasion brought meals to Mom that I had opportunity to taste and was so salty that neither of us could eat it, and we love salt. If it weren’t for the cost being absorbed in the monthly rent I wouldn’t care but as justification for the price I don’t buy. They have brought Mom meals that did help supplement when she wasn’t feeling well, before we started having care providers come help. There have been recent upgrades to the main building and two of the four cottages. Mom is wondering when they plan to make upgrades to her unit to justify the price increase. Many issues have been resolved, and the staff are generally thoughtful and caring. It feels a bit like there are challenges retaining employees which stresses service. But as I have said…Mom is still waiting for her fireplace to work for this winter, and the food is unworthy of the claim that it is included. There are no comparable options in this area and that was a primary concern when she moved here. There are much fancier options in big cities or coastal communities, but if you want to live in a Senior Living Merced County it’s Merced County, you have to be realistic about the standard. On the other side of that, the manager and owner need to also be realistic about just how much they can fleece seniors without upgrading quality. That said, my Mom has a premium unit because of the fenced yard which she has brought back to life. Her flare for decorating has made the unit very nice. So for now, this helps her be near familiar resources and some family. Just would think that the fireplace would have been fixed and the food improved by now since they felt comfortable raising the price. 🤷
