    Excellent care; beware extra fees

    I moved my loved one to their South Redlands/Franklin home after Henrietta had no openings. The owners and caregivers are outstanding - consistent, one-on-one, well-trained - and the remodeled house, nice rooms, yard, food and on-site transportation made it a pleasant, reliable place. Management generally kept promises and showed integrity, but I encountered conflicting info, felt pressure to use their hospice, and the service-fee model plus added charges pushed our total to over $3,000, so costs can climb quickly. Overall the care was excellent and I would do it again, but go in eyes open about extra fees and upsells.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive about the quality and consistency of care at European Home Care III. Multiple reviewers emphasize that care is reliable and often one-on-one, with the same caregivers providing continuity. The owners’ visible, hands-on involvement is repeatedly cited as a major strength; reviewers credit owner presence with stability, integrity, and personal attention. These factors drive a clear sense of trust: several reviewers explicitly state they would choose the facility again and consider it the best RCFE they have encountered.

    Staff and care quality are the most frequently praised elements. Reviewers repeatedly call out stable, well-trained caregivers and consistent staffing as key advantages, noting that caretakers are familiar, dependable, and provide individualized attention. Food is mentioned positively, supporting the overall sense that daily living needs are being met well. The facility’s reputation for honesty and keeping promises appears important to reviewers — terms such as integrity, honesty, and “keeps promises” appear in multiple summaries, reinforcing that management and staff deliver on expectations for care.

    The physical facility and amenities receive favorable comments. Reviewers describe the home as nicely remodeled with pleasant rooms and a well-maintained yard; the environment is characterized as pleasant and comfortable. On-site transportation and a convenient location (several mentions of South Redlands and Franklin) are highlighted as practical benefits that influenced decision-making. These tangible features, along with a generally pleasant atmosphere, contribute to the overall positive experience reported by families.

    However, a clear and recurring concern across reviews is cost and billing transparency. Several reviewers report that fees and charges added up quickly, with one explicitly noting the total monthly price escalated to over $3,000. The facility’s service-fee billing structure is described as confusing or prone to resulting in higher-than-expected bills. There are also comments about conflicting information from management, which amplifies concerns about clarity and trust around finances. One reviewer specifically reported feeling pushed toward the facility’s own hospice service, which raises questions about pressure around ancillary services and choice. These financial and management-related issues are the primary negative themes and appear to be the main tradeoffs families experienced despite high satisfaction with care.

    Patterns and notable points: reviewers often compared European Home Care III favorably to other facilities, with some noting they chose the Franklin location due to availability after Henrietta lacked openings. Availability constraints at certain locations are therefore a practical consideration. While many reviewers stress that the care quality justifies the cost and would lead them to choose the facility again, the frequency of comments about added fees and billing confusion suggests prospective families should explicitly clarify what is included in the base fee, what triggers additional charges, and the facility’s hospice referral practices before committing. There is limited detail in the reviews about activities and programming, so those aspects remain less documented in this dataset.

    In summary, European Home Care III is repeatedly praised for its consistent, personalized care, stable and well-trained staff, hands-on owner involvement, pleasant physical environment, and practical amenities like on-site transportation. These strengths form the core reasons reviewers recommend the facility and would choose it again. The main cautionary themes are financial transparency and the potential for additional fees to increase the total cost, plus occasional reports of management giving conflicting information or steering families toward in-house hospice services. Prospective residents and families should confirm availability at specific locations and get detailed, written explanations of fee structures and service inclusions to avoid surprises, but based on these reviews the facility scores strongly on care quality and trustworthiness in day-to-day caregiving.

    About European Home Care III

    European Home Care III sits on Franklin Avenue in Redlands, California and stays small on purpose, only having space for up to six residents, which kind of makes it feel more like a family house than a big institution, and folks can bring their cats or dogs along if they want, which makes the place feel pretty lively sometimes, with animal friends hanging around. The setting feels home-like, with indoor and outdoor common spaces where people can chat or relax, plus a garden and even a pool or hot tub for unwinding, and the rooms-whether one-bedroom or private-all come fully furnished and set up for comfort, including wheelchair accessibility, tub and shower options, TV, and steady high-speed internet so folks can catch their favorite shows or keep in touch.

    Care is really personal here since the community's so small-staff offer help around the clock with things like medications, bathing, dressing, eating, or getting around, and if someone needs support with diabetes, high acuity care, incontinence, or even two-person transfers, the caregivers can handle it, always sticking close in case of memory care needs or any health issues needing quick attention. People living here get three homemade meals each day, with food carefully prepared for anyone with special dietary needs-things like diabetes or high blood pressure diets are handled-and there's always someone ready to help with hygiene, grooming, or even just making sure linens are fresh.

    Activities fill the schedule, both in the home and out in the community, so residents don't get bored-there are music and craft programs, movement classes, book rooms to enjoy, games, movie nights, garden walks, and sometimes animal therapy or music therapy to lift everyone's spirits, and the staff try to adjust these activities to fit everyone's mind, body, and spirit, doing their best to make sure folks feel connected and engaged. The community makes transportation arrangements for medical appointments, errands, and even spiritual outings, while nurses, a doctor on call, and therapy services round out the care side, so people can keep their usual routines with visits from specialists like podiatrists, physical or occupational therapists, and speech folks.

    European Home Care III focuses a lot on providing support for those needing memory care or dealing with dementia, and they offer both board and care as well as assisted living, plus respite and hospice help when needed, and because it's family owned and operated, the staff tend to know each resident well, responding to what each person needs with custom plans and keeping a steady focus on everyone's safety and independence. Residents can relax knowing the place is secure, friendly, and easy to get around, with a warm environment created by a team that tries to keep things calm, kind, and respectful, making sure everyone feels like they belong and can keep their dignity as long as they're here.
