Fair Oaks Estates: Assisted Living for the Elderly Review

Place is horrible, I would never let my family live here or recommend this place. I worked here for several months, I witnessed a caregiver abusing a resident and reported it to Kris. She then pulled me and the girl in her office and made me confront the girl and tell her that I reported her (very unprofessional) the next day I went to work, worked the whole day and as I was leaving work she called me in her office and gave me my final check told me I was fired and wouldn't give me a reason. Tried to deny my unemployment but couldn't provide any reasons for firing me so the had to pay my unemployment. Don't work here or leave your family here. If your family can't talk or is bed ridden they will leave them in bed for hours without feeding, changing or bathing them. Horrible place

Will not provide refund due. Continue to withhold funds.

Such a great, caring and helpful staff. Very attentive.

The boss lady Kris is very rude and very hard to work for. I was a receptionist here manyyears

I wouldn't take my parents anywhere else. Other places around town charge twice as much.

Kris and her staff have been wonderful to my grandmother . They have been very observant of her needs and she is loving the salon .

My Uncle, BUBBY, moved here 6 months ago, and he loves it! The staff is eager to help with anything He needs. Most of the employees, seem to actual thrive in what must be a terribly demanding job, to constantly be caring and catering to the particular needs of the demanding residence. I suppose these are not the greatest paying jobs, but Fair Oaks Estates seem to have the ideal staff with great perspectives and genuine care. Most of the tenants are friendly and welcoming to him as well as his guests.

He recently discovered a Craze from 15 years ago, called Sudoko, that has has filled his time with challenging number puzzles, and his new friends oddly idolize him, for his new found gift. There are lots of activities to keep him involved and active, or if prefers, no pressure to join in the fun. The rooms have great views of the outdoors, the common spaces are beautifully appointed just like a welcoming grand home would be, and security measurements helps all feel safe. A lot more could be said about how wonderful this place is, but just knowing he is there makes me want to live a lot longer to enjoy it someday myself! Thank you for creating a real home for "Bubby", and ALL OF IT

Great staff that makes sure my father has a lot of interaction and entertainment.

Mom had been in a Nursing Home in Paradise CA after having a heart attack in July. With dementia present, we had been looking for an Assisted Living residence for her- one that had Memory Care on site in case it was eventually needed. When the Nursing Home surprised us with a discharge only a week away, Mom began exhibiting strange behavior, which I attributed to stress over not having a place to go. So, we changed our philosophy from checking out every place we could find to finding one as soon as possible near family in Citrus Heights. The next day my cousin came here and said they filled the requirements we had and the price was right. When I got back in town, I stopped in and put down the deposit. At this point, just having a place for Mom was more important than doing an extreme amount of homework.
Mom's mental condition worsened here, through no fault of anyone. From forgetting that she was given meds to coming up with stories of things being stolen (Things we never had in the first place), Mom was a handful. But, Kurt, Rhonda, Parveen, Bea and the entire staff were so very kind and helped to try and ease any anxieties Mom had. Mom passed away yesterday from an Aortic Aneurysm (A condition unbeknownst to us, she apparently had for awhile), exactly one month to the day that she first entered Fair Oaks Estates.
Even if we had finished with our exhaustive research (And especially considering we toured and made a decision here in one day), we could not have asked for a better place for Mom to have spent her last month. She was 81, a former Head Nurse, and as independent as you can be, struggling to find herself in this new life where the old TV remote that she had for years was a struggle to comprehend. I want to thank the staff- and the Med Tech's whom she was the most hardest on- for all of their kindness and attention. From the bottom of my heart, they were the absolute best and I could not have been happier with our decision.
I love you, Mom. I miss you terribly. RIP

The care is very poor, food is terrible, the caregivers abuse the residents and steal monies out of their wallets. The Director or Administrator (what ever she calls herself) is the most unfriendliest person I have ever met. She is so mean to the residents it is unbelievable. All this place cares about is the big, fat check they are going to get at the end of the month.

Pops says of the three places he's been before, Fair Oaks Estates has the best food.

Was hired by this company and was on the books before I was even cleared to work. My first day to work they said be their at 2:30pm. I get a call that says it was 6:30am when I have morning class. First red flag! Get their at 2:30 and dont get to work until 20 min later. While I'm training I notice it is a SKILLED not assisted living. Second red flag! The E.D Kris belongs in her memory care unit. I would not recommend anyone work or live there. The kitchen staff puts their hands in the food while handing it out. And their meds are not even locked up properly.
