my name is Torain. A couple years ago I needed to move my father from the East Coast to the West Coast so that I could better care for him. Once he was here, I found that these large beautiful places that charge all the money, didn’t do the job then I thought I was paying for. too many people and not enough staff to pay attention to them. Then one day, Casa Abuela’s and Marianne stepped in. My wife found them and I moved my dad from this big fancy place to this quaint family oriented place where the staff actually paid attention to him. My dad got to spend the remaining time on earth in a beautiful place with beautiful people who actually cared. They would take them out so he could walk around and get fresh air, sit and do artwork with him, puzzles, dexterity stuff. Just simply talking to an old fella with Alzheimer’s and dementia, meant a lot to him. He always told me how wonderful the people were there and he was in love with Marianne‘s home cook meals. That was his favorite part. He love to eat. Marianne her staff are took such good care of him, relieving a large load from me. I Worry about him being left to sit in a room for hours on end. I would advise anyone who is in need of care for their family members to go visit and talk with Marianne and her staff. If I had to do this over or assign knew what I know now I would bypass the large facilities and go directly to Marianne and the staff at Casa Abuela. I love and attention I gave my dad was the best part for both he and I. I generally don’t write reviews, but this place deserves it. They take care of people the old-fashioned way. By treating them like people.
