  • Kudos to The Californian

    I went in to visit this community this weekend. I was very surprised they even had someone to show us around at 5pm on saturday! Not only was she sweet and very friendly but extremely knowledgeable. She answered every question we had and really put our minds at ease. The facility itself is gorgeous. The outside seating space and gardens are so beautiful. I am really looking forward to having lunches with my mom outside this summer. We are going ahead and moving my mother in there as soon as possible. My mom was so excited on the drive home she told us to just turn around and take her back. She wanted to stay! I am so pleased at how easy this process has turned out to be thanks to The Californian and their lovely staff. Kudos for all you have done to make us feel welcome.

  • Poor Office Management

    While the staff and facilities in the Alzheimer's section were awesome, the office staff is not helpful. My dad has private long-term care insurance which requires a confirmation of his residency on a monthly basis. A short form that is faxed to the insurance company monthly before they will issue a reimbursement check. So my dad pays on the first of the month almost twice as much as his insurance covers, and then we wait for reimbursement for a portion. The Californian charges $30 a month to "process the form". EVERY MONTH I have had to call the office manager and ask her to please, please, please send the form so we get reimbursed. And the insurance company employees have NEVER HEARD OF A FEE BEING CHARGED! Very disappointing. I have also had to monitor the monthly billing to make sure they are not billing for what Hospice is providing.
