Family involvement is always good, but especially enhanced during the holidays. Patrick's Day, Easter, July 4th, or Thanksgiving, the holiday meals reflect tradition. The heavier meal is at lunch"”and they do offer moderately pureed foods for those who can no longer eat regular meals. They serve home-cooked meals, which are very good. The direct care staff is mostly CNAs, who are trained to dispense meds, perform basic first aid, cook meals, and provide daily care. There's little turnover among either the staff or the residents, and there's a good ratio of caregivers to residents. The whole place feels like a family run business. When I last visited, they had mostly women residents, but they accept men as well. They also have a lovely patio area to meet with family and other residents. It's wheelchair and walker accessible, and there are grab bars along walkways. It looks like a large country house (it used to be an historic home) they added on about 3 extra bedrooms nine total. It's has just 12 beds"”with both private and shared rooms. As long as they're able to do most of their ADLs, or require minimal assistance, Sunshine Manor can meet their needs. They don't offer memory care but do accept people with early stage Alzheimer's, or memory loss. I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentĬaring409801 Sunshine Manor is a small assisted living facility in Placerville"”about 40 miles west of Sacramento, nestled in the foothills in a residential neighborhood and just a half mile or so away from a hospital and doctors' offices. I would like to live here when the time comes My friend was not able to participate in activities but since he smoked they made sure he was accommodated, followed the rules and was taken away from the building to a lovely shaded area. The food is home-style with midday meal the largest and a light supper. Special food was given upon request such as fruit, ice cream soup etc. The residents were always up, dressed, hair combed etc. I visited with some of the residents who also said they were happy. There was time for conversation and affection from the incredibly caring staff. I saw that he was given tender help with his ever-increasing needs. I was always welcome any time to visit and ask for information on his daily events. Any special food or needs were quickly attained. We brought some of his personal furniture to make him feel a little like home. He was interviewed by Motu prior to moving and it turned out that it was a good fit! The move-in went well. Judy n Moe My loved one, had been in a very nice facility prior to moving to Sunshine Manor and he moved here because of the more personal care.
