Emerald Oaks in Yuba City truly stands out as a wonderful place, and so much of that is thanks to Debbie—she is the absolute gem of the community. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine compassion shine through in everything she does. You can tell she truly cares about the residents and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable, valued, and at home. Debbie keeps everything running smoothly and in tip-top shape, creating an environment that feels both welcoming and well cared for. The entire staff reflects that same level of dedication—they’re attentive, responsive, and always engaged with the residents. There’s consistently something going on, with activities that keep everyone active, social, and connected. It’s also been great to see how Emerald Oaks partners with other locally owned businesses, like Comfort Keepers, to bring in additional one-on-one care when needed. That kind of collaboration really makes a difference for residents and their families. We truly appreciate the partnership and the level of care provided here. Emerald Oaks is doing things right, and it shows every day.

My grandmother has dementia and is supposed to be checked every two hours but was last checked around 8: 30 pm and wasn’t again until 1:30 am and got out and wasn’t found until 9am. Her room is always dirty unless we clean and laundry is never done when asked. In the evening I’ve had residents let me in with no staff in sight

I am a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® and I tour facilities prior to recommending them to clients. I was very impressed with this facility both times I was there from the staff who genuinely cares for the clients, the joy on the client's faces and the positive interaction I observed between clients and staff. I conducted a music class there for the residents and brought in music, shakers, sticks, and bells and 14 happy residents participated in musical fun! Ivy Garner is the marketing director and it's evident that she truly cares about each person under her care. I highly recommend Emerald Oaks Assisted Living for your loved one.

I wish to leave double negative stars for this facilities less than professional behavior in serving its community; let alone the residents depending on them to do them right. I had called the facility on Friday and again on Monday to inquire on visitation procedure and policy to ensure my 93+ mile drive would be worthwhile in that a visit would actually take place. An appt for two pm on Tuesday the 6th had been agreed to as well as all that was needed by me to make a successful visit. Upon arrival on premise I called to affirm that they were ready to be met with and that’s when they played dumb didn’t know about an appt or whom I was and then didn’t know to what Covid 19 standard they were. At this point I reminded them it was for preferably an outdoor visit to which they said she wasn’t well enough for and I replied oh so you’ll be accommodating an indoor visit and they then told me she did not want a visitor. The following day I left a folder enclosing the welfare and institutions codes specifically regarding visitation and isolation with a note letting them know I’d be in yuba city for an additional two days in case they changed their mind which they did not. This is now two times they have obstructed the residents visits. At this point I am puzzled as to what to think…. Can’t receive calls from the resident nor have the pre stamped envelopes or stationary been used - so idk if she has even gotten my correspondence!!!! How would you rate a place who won’t keep open communication or allow anyone to see the residence???? Think I’ll have to question more authorities and definitely probe into the many standards to which they operate
