Better Living Care Home

Better Living Care Home took care of my mother for nearly 10 years. Running a care home is never an easy task. [names removed] and all of the wonderful staff became trusted friends. Thank you is not enough. Your consistent, excellent service to mom and our whole family sets a high standard for everyone else to measure up to. So glad we found you!

Better Living is very good, meeting all my expectations. The caregivers are very kind and attentive, trying hard to meet the need of all the residents. The owner is also very nice coming to visit once a while to assure the place is run smoothly.

The have done an exceptional job making the transition smooth as my mother moved from another facility to this one. Mother is in hospice and will not likely be around much longer, but they have been simply outstanding and have taken great care of her. I give them my highest praise!

I like the owner's and the care giver's compassion, humor, and attitude. They do a great job. The location works well for me, because it isn't too far. I live in Clayton. For activities, they have music, and some other activities. Different people come in and do music stuff. My father likes the fact that they're friendly, and they take good care of him. I highly recommend them.

My experience with Carriage Care had been absolutely wonderful. The facility is very small, currently only 5 residents are there. They cater to my mom, and provide her with excellent care. They give her what she desires. They are at her beackoned call always. The only unfortunate thing is because they are so small, there's not a lot of stimulation. I wish there was more mental stimulation. Once in a while they'll play bingo, or a piano player will come in, but not much. I recommend Carriage Care to someone who knows what they're getting into mentally due to the low level of mental stimulation. They provide excellent care though.

Very kind and caring.

3 miles away from me. The home was beautiful inside and out. Residents were clean and neat. Back patio area was very inviting. Anabelle was very informative and caring. 2 caregivers on staff who lived in the residence. Helen and Chan. They have worked for Anabelle for a long time. Piano player comes in to play music and an activity director comes in to plan and conduct activities based on residents' levels. Has a hospice waiver- can care for terminal residents. All rooms are private. Dr. who does house calls for an extra fee or I can take her myself or coordinate with the staff to take her. Staff has first aid and dementia training. Own two other houses 10 and 15 years in the business. Visiting hours 10 am. to 8 pm. alarms on all doors and fenced yard for safety. Can either perform or share responsibilities of Dr. visits, hair cuts, etc. Can accommodate diabetic diets. No vacancy at this time.

$3000 private [removed] BEEN IN BUSINESS A LONG TIME, WONDERFUL CARE AND HOME, LOTS OF GOOD FEEDBACK FROM FAMILIES

$2500-3000; WONDERFUL HOME ON TOP TEN LIST...GREAT CARE, LOVING, ACTIVE...ANABELLE HAS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS EVEN AS A CHILD WITH HER PARENTS OWNING CARE HOMES

Both my daughter and I toured the homes. We enjoyed meeting director - loved the room - lots of light throughout the house. Everyone was welcoming - it was calm, clean and pleasant. I loved it - rating 10.

We were only there for a few months, but the care was outstanding! I really can't say enough about how excellent and caring the staff were and made my mother-in-law's final days the best could possibly have been. She did not care this kind of care in her previous residence, so we were so pleased. They even put make-up on her and painted her nails. I wish we would have moved her there much sooner. I highligh recommend!!

Location was great, close to my home. Private room available in front of house w/private bathroom incl shower, right off family room & kitchen. Did not see any of the residents, 2 in hospice, not sure about others. [Name removed] was very nice, her mom was there working in the kitchen. I did not see other staff. We spent a lot of time talking with me about dementia vs alzheimer’s [Name removed] explained she needed to me mom and assess her care level to provide price, she will go to meet mom on Tuesday. I like the private room and bath, and the location to common areas is a plus for my mom. Just concerned about the lack of people to interact with, and the home was very quiet (like a library)

The Better Living of Walnut Creek was a very nice place, it was clean and the people were friendly. My husband wanted a bigger place for his mother, and this place was a home so we ended up choosing something else, but this place was very nice and there was nothing wrong with it.

The house was nice and clean. The staff were friendly.

Beautiful yard front and back. The inside was all hardwood floors with no steps or ramps to deal with. Anabelle was wonderful and sat and talk to me about my mom and her needs. She had a master suite on hold for someone and waiting to hear if she's coming. Te bedroom was roomy and the bath had a shower that you can just walk into with no steps. It has a sliding glass door overlooking the backed deck and rose garden. I saw 2 residents , very friendly and happy..I did not see any meals being prepared or eaten during my time there.

Very pleasant open, sunny home.

Met with the caregiver here. We did not meet w the administrator. While we were not wild about this facility, they DO have a very nice room avalable, which is a nice size, sunny, and has a v nice closet. They rest of the house was a bit tired feeling. There was a very nice patio with a garden with roses and veggys. We felt this might be worth another look.
