What Our Clients Have to Say…

I have known Denise Walker in a professional capacity for many years, and feel confident in recommending her facility and staff to my patients who will benefit from assisted living services.

On several occasions Denise Walker has solicited my advice, both personally and by way of photos through email, on matters concerning her residents, alerting me promptly, and with great detail of any medical condition changes. Denise Walker accompanies residents to the hospital for emergencies and remains with them and their family which I feel is representative of a staff that genuinely cares about their residents.

The Golden Moments Care Home’s provision of twenty-four-hour care and medication management is an important support service that ensures residents receive the necessary attention to their personal and medical needs.

Sincerely,

My dad has lived in Golden Moments Care Home for over 2 1/2 years. He has mobility issues, diabetes and mild dementia requiring close monitoring and medication management.

The Staff is so amazing, my dad requires a great deal of care (as do all elderly), and this care is well provided–whether it is 2:00 pm or 2:00 am.

Our favorite things about Golden Moments Care Home are the fun, loving, attentive and caring Staff plus all of the activities they have my dad involved in throughout the day. He is never left alone in his room, or just sitting in front of a TV all day.

My mom lives around the corner and enjoys her visits with dad, the Staff, and the other Residents. On occasion, she will join them for lunch, dessert and sometimes participates with them in their exercise and/or their music program.

Golden Moments Care Home is a true miracle for my family, We are so grateful! They are reliable and professional. They really go the extra mile on all aspects of the top-notch care they provide. I don’t know what we would have done without them.

The Staff is professional as well as caring and helpful both to the Residents and the extended family. Extra touches include holiday meals on site where all the families participate and detailed emails on any changes of care from the director.

Residents are encouraged to use both mind and bodies to the extent possible. It is not a facility, it is a home; a very clean home at that! There is a relaxed atmosphere but a constant sense of awareness of Residents needs. Our family member has done extremely well with Golden Moments.

I wish more facilities had their common sense and compassion coupled with the professionalism that exists there.

Denise W. is an amazing, caring and loving young woman! She was a neighbor and friend who assisted my husband’s 95-year-old aunt following her hospitalization. Although Denise did not have a vacancy at her home she found placement for his aunt nearby and continued to assist her for 4-5 months until her death.

This was a very time-consuming job as she is very busy with her own Residents at Golden Moments. Aunt Skip was not always easy to deal with as she was a wonderful but feisty 95-year old who wanted to live independently until she was 110 years old! Denise established a very special relationship with her and eased her transition to assisted living so that although Skip continued to talk about “going home” she settled in and seemed quite content.

We recently spent a week in Sacramento closing Skip’s home and had the opportunity to visit Denise and her Residents at Golden Moments. They were clean and well dressed and were busy doing exercises. Her home appeared clean and pleasant as well as “homey”.

As long as Denise is the owner of this home I have no doubt that her Residents will be well cared for and treated as one of her own family. She cares for each and every one of them and treats them with their well-deserved respect.

Although no one would choose to leave their home for assisted living, I would be happy to recommend Golden Moments.

My father has resided at Golden Moments Care Home since March 1st, 2009. He is now 93 years old and feels very much at home. Whenever we visit, he is well-rested, well-fed and ready to play Cribbage and Uno with his family.

My father has prostate cancer (since he was 76) and Alzheimer’s (since he was 83). He is doing remarkably well considering. He tells us he feels “fine!” each time we visit. More than that, he is loved and pampered by the most caring Staff I have ever experienced.

I have visited many homes and none even begin to compare with the quality of care given by the Staff. The Residents are treated as if they are family. I am kept apprised of my Father’s condition regularly. He is taken to and from all Doctor and Dentist appointments and kept in a good humor throughout.

I am so grateful to have found Golden Moments for my Dad. My Mother and Brother are equally grateful. I would recommend this HOME, not facility, to anyone who would ask me.

I have visited Golden Moments on many occasions. The owner and Staff offer professional service and are very conscientious about the level of care they provide. The Residents and living environment are always clean. The food provided is fresh and prepared individually each meal.

A major emphasis is on memory care with the patients being actively engaged each day in exercises both physical and mental to provide stimulation. Health and safety is also a high priority for the Staff and the owner. All patients wear personal body alarms to alert the Staff of their movements.

There are always two Caregivers per shift to assist with transfers. The night shift Staff is awake and attends to regular incontinence needs. Most importantly is the owner’s commitment to the welfare of the residence.

All medication is monitored and dispensed at regular intervals. Transportation is provided to and from doctor appointments. In case of an emergency, the owner will advocate for the Resident with emergency services for the best care possible. If my loved ones needed more care than I could provide at home then I would be very comfortable having them placed at Golden Moments.

Dear Denise & Staff: Our family appreciates your genuine care and concern for Cotton, from fixing his favorite foods to accompanying the family to his doctor’s appointments to make sure all concerns were addressed, and for him getting the best care possible.

The hardest part of leaving Sacramento was moving him to a new facility. Golden Moments takes the extra time and care that makes your facility truly special. We feel fortunate to have had Cotton in your care. Thank you so very much —We miss you all.

Many of these facilities meet only the minimum requirements in order to legally stay in business. There are others however that go out of their way to assure that their Residents enjoy a clean, pleasant, and stimulating environment. The Golden Moments Care Home is one of those quality facilities for several reasons.

The food is prepared by the Staff prior to each meal. The food is nutritious, served in ample quantities, and Residents are individually assisted in eating as needed. Care is taken to assure that Residents are individually assisted in eating as needed.

Care is taken to assure that Residents are bathed regularly and kept clean throughout the day. The Residents’ participation in personal hygiene is encouraged and they are assisted as needed. They are often taken outdoors as weather permits and taken to visit various interesting places in the area.

And in the unfortunate event that a loved one needs to be admitted to the hospital, Staff members visit the Resident regularly while they are hospitalized to assure that their needs are being met, just as a family member would. Should my own father or mother ever need assisted living services, The Golden Moments Care Home will be one of the first facilities I contact.

The Caregivers have been diligent about contacting me or seeking medical attention when the need arises. The Caregivers are easy to work with and communicate regularly with me. I would recommend this facility.

The Staff displays respect and genuine care for each of the Residents. They get to know the Residents and their families so they can provide personalized attention that suits their needs. They encourage the Residents to participate in activities to the best of their ability and provide lots of positive reinforcement. The Staff provides home-cooked, delicious, and generous food at mealtimes as well as snacks in between. Dad always enjoys mealtime at Golden Moments.

Our family went through a difficult and stressful time as Dad struggled in the previous care settings where he did not get the close attention and care he needed. We are appreciative of the care the Staff show for Dad and are relieved knowing that he is in good hands. We would be happy to answer questions for anyone who is thinking of moving a loved one to Golden Moments.
