Paradise Valley Care is a senior living community located in Atascadero, California, specializing in memory care. The facility is designed to provide senior residents with support tailored to their healthcare needs. Despite efforts to create a nurturing environment, reviews highlight significant dissatisfaction among residents and their families.
In terms of care services, Paradise Valley Care offers a range of support options. Memory care services address the specific needs of residents with memory impairments, with staff available to assist with daily living activities and enhance safety. However, reviews suggest some inconsistency in the quality of caregiving. Staffing and ancillary services are supposed to ensure a supportive environment, but there are frequent reports of caregivers being indifferent to residents' well-being. Incontinence care is available, yet there are complaints about neglectful practices, such as residents being left in soiled diapers.
The facility also offers support for non-ambulatory residents, diabetes care, and medication management, although concerns have been raised about the adequacy of these services, as indicated by frequent hospitalizations. Specifically, some families mention occurrences of pneumonia among residents, suggesting potential health risks in the living environment. Despite new ownership and renovations, environmental health hazards, including reports of black mold, have not been fully addressed, allegedly contributing to respiratory issues in residents.
Paradise Valley Care provides complimentary transportation services for both medical and non-medical purposes, intending to assist residents with accessing healthcare appointments and participating in community outings. This transportation service is designed to promote the independence and well-being of residents by facilitating necessary travel. However, it is unclear from the reviews whether these transportation services are consistently available or reliable.
