Somerford Place of Fresno

Somerford Place was there to help in my time of need. Jamie and Kathy were so helpful and eased my mind as we went through the process of moving my dad. My dad had to transition, of course, and all the staff have been so helpful and positive through it all. My dad is doing great and it turn I am relieved.

We were pleased with Blanche's and our reception last Monday. Your pleasant demeanor matched your prior telephone etiquette. We're fortunate that Somerford is so close to Fig Garden. The close proximity, especially on a hot day, made the move easier.Our initial favorable impressions came immediately when we met you and Kathy. You're both very competent, capable, friendly people.It's impressive that there are systems in place that allow the facility to function effectively. We noticed that the staff made quick efforts to acquaint her with other residents.When we left Blanche we felt that she was quickly adjusting to her new caretakers, surroundings and neighbors and will adjust to her new location relatively easily.All things considered, when we drove away, we felt that we had made a good decision to move her to Somerford. We look forward to Aunt Blanche receiving your capable care.Sincerely, Jean and Bob Ash

Moved in my mom from another facility. VERY gracious and very caring. Far superior to her last experience.. Well versed, caring staff.

When Mom was first diagnosed we moved her here because they came highly recommended, she needed 24 hr. care and my dad and their dog were able to live in the retirement community next door. All of the staff at Somerford are amazing, kind, patient people. My Mom really enjoys all of her Caregivers and the other Residents. She's had some adjusting to do and Somerford Caregivers have helped her through with their kindness. She really does appreciate each and every one of them. The only reason we are moving Mom to another facility is because we found a place that would accept my Mom (24 hr. care), Dad (doesn't need any assisting yet) and their family dog all living in the same 2 bedroom apartment. The family feels Mom will feel better and not isolated from the family, per say. My only hope is that the Caregivers at the new place are as caring as the Caregivers at Somerford Place. I'm feeling very grateful that my Mom has actually improved and adjusted so well this past year while she's been at Somerford and I have the staff to thank for that. THANK YOU

Sometimes, finding the right place takes time...and sometimes, you do NOT have time. My sisters and I toured two other Memory Care facilities in the area and were not happy with how our father would 'fit'. Strapped for time, somebody recommended Somerford. What a BLESSING. My dad was NOT 'on board' and I was so worried about how the transition would go - - but I received assurance from the staff at Somerford Place. The first time I met with Kathy and Jamie, they understood the difficult situation we were in and assured me their highly trained staff could deal with it. They wanted to know as much about my Dad as possible, in order to make the move as easy as possible. That was two months ago. I have NEVER regretted the decision and while this journey is never 'easy', the community at Somerford has made it as smooth as I ever would have imagined. My dad's room has NEVER been dirty (as it had been in his prior Assisted Living facility). The staff is always on top of the laundry and that is huge. One time, the staff noticed when my dad had had an accident and they handled it in a calm, cool and NICE manner. It's very difficult when your loved one feels they are more capable than they are - but the staff at SP never make him feel any less important, or any less a person. We feel confident in the health and mental care he is provided, and know that he is safe and well-cared for. SP also promotes family visits and offers a family lunch one day a week where any family are invited to dine and visit with their loved ones. I have received calls from the staff just keeping me up to date on his progress and activities and that is such a refreshing change! I felt like I had to be on top of his health at the prior facility, but truly feel SP is trained and capable of dealing with my dad's 'issues'.I cannot recommend Somerford Place any higher that I do. If you are lucky enough to find an opening when you need it, DO NOT HESITATE!
