Tour experience

My sister really liked the layout of the rooms here. This probably would have been her first choice, but they did not have any vacancy. It was a very nice place, but it was all carpeted which we did not like. The sales lady was very friendly. Apparently this is a very highly recommended facility and from what we heard the food is to die for.

Positive Experience

We picked this community, because It was smaller and only has a max of 35 people. The residents have the option to be in smaller groups. They have a TV room, and two eating areas. Things seem to be going okay. It's a great place for any one loved one who is less social. I would recommend to other families.

I also like the activites room and the fact that my loved one has their own room. It would be nice if they did more, wellness checks on the residents. They make the move in process so easy, the people were friendly, the activities lady was really lovely, and pushes the residents to get invloved. Overall, it's expensive but has been a good experience.

Our experience so far

They are really working hard to try to improve communication with families as well as the activities that are provided for the residents. They do not have enough staffing for what they are trying to do. There has been a lot of staff turnover and right before we moved in there was new management that took over. We have heard they do not have as much staff as before. People that had been there for a while also said there has been a big increase in the pricing.

Tour experience

We had an ok tour experience at Summerfield of Fresno. The person who gave us the tour was very sweet and the chef also came out and talked to us and he was really nice. There were about 20-30 residents here and I just felt that my loved one would not get the best care due to the staff to resident ratio - we wanted a very small place. I do really like that they focused only on memory care here, but it was just not the right fit for us.
