I placed my wife at Summerfield Memory Care and we've had an excellent experience. The staff are compassionate, attentive and highly involved, leadership is hands-on with low turnover, and issues are handled quickly and proactively. The facility is spotless and thoughtfully designed for memory care, with beautiful, walkable grounds and a full activities program - my wife is socializing, engaged and doing well. Communication is strong and comforting; meals are generally good, but it's on the pricier side. I highly recommend.
Summerfield of Stockton sits in Stockton, California and offers memory care in four cottage-style homes surrounded by landscaped courtyards and walking paths, so residents can safely move about but still feel at home, and each cottage includes its own living room, kitchen, and dining room. The staff has over 40 years' combined experience working with older adults who have Alzheimer's and dementia, and there's awake staff and nurses on duty around the clock. Summerfield of Stockton has 56 memory care units and takes care of residents who may wander or act out-technology like alarmed bracelets and a computerized wander alert system help keep everyone safe, while locked neighborhoods and secured outdoor areas add another layer of protection.
Residents get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and there's diabetic care with insulin support, plus incontinence care with reminders and hands-on help. Skilled nursing and medication management are also onsite, and specialized memory care called the Bridge to Rediscovery program is meant for people with different stages of memory loss. Care is flexible, so residents can stay in the same community even if their health changes, and Summerfield is licensed for permanent residence, respite stays, hospice, adult daycare, and rehab services.
Meals are cooked onsite and staff can handle special diets, whether someone needs kosher food, vegetarian meals, gluten-free, vegan, or low-sodium options. Guests can share meals, and families are welcome to visit and take part in events or activities. Every week, staff run a lot of different activities, like yoga, stretching, art classes, gardening, movie nights, music programs, games, brain fitness, and social or intergenerational programs, even some with children or pets. There's also religious services, a beauty salon and barber shop, and transportation for medical appointments, plus parking for anyone who drives.
Summerfield's buildings and grounds are wheelchair friendly and the staff can help with transferring residents who need one or two people at a time or with a mechanical lift. Each suite is spacious, with one- or two-bedroom options. Housekeeping, laundry, and rehabilitation programs are included, and there are activity rooms, community centers, and outdoor seating areas. The place has a long history, with 23 years in memory care and a focus on professional, compassionate care that keeps residents safe and supported, which brings peace of mind for families.
