My family moved our mother in April of 2019 from assisted living to Somerford Place. The management and staff were very compassionate and caring. As our mothers needs increased they were very help advising on what type of care she should be given. They had a hair salon on the premises that was very helpful because to remove her from her environment by automobile would have been very challenging. The activities that they had would help with the patients attitude and give them movement which was very needed. Unfortunately, our mother passed in August 2019 but, we felt that during her time at Somerford it was a great environment for her. I would recommend Somerford to anyone who has loved one that needs this type of assisted living.

If there were a+ on the rating for Five Star, I would add that too. Take away your guilt for placing your loved one here, they treat them as their own. They are kind, loving and efficient. The place never smells and the meals are well planned and presented as a top restaurant. I could never say enough about how wonderful this place and the people providing care are.

My partner has been in the Day Program at Somerford Stockton for over a year. The first day or two he was reluctant to return. Ever since he is happy to go even 5 or 6 days a week. The staff is terrific! Everyone from the aides to the director greets him with a smile and by name. When I walk him back to the activity room one of the staff comes over, takes his hand and tells him how happy she is that he came that day. He doesn't participate in all of the activities, but there is tremendous variety every day. I feel he gets physical activities and some mental stimulation. I can't say enough good things about Somerford Place in Stockton.

When my 70 year old wife became more agitated, more difficult to bathe, feed, clothe, medicate and amuse and required more "hands on" care, I turned to the staff at Somerford in Stockton. Their one-on-one, hands on hands approach to dementia care made all the difference in her life. Their Bridge to Rediscovery program, kind of a Montessori approach, allowed her to grow and change in a new, positive direction at her own level and pace. The live music (yes, staff gets them up and moving), bingo, bowling, arts and crafts, guessing three and four letter words beginning with "A", regular religious activities, all contributed to a well rounded curriculum. Somerford's approach is what I call "Open Kimono"; total transparency and honesty regarding the residents progress. And they practice an inclusive whole house/team approach which values the contributions of all staff members as well as those of the residents. Since Somerford is comprised of 4 "houses" the residents feel like they are at home and see the same caring faces day after day which builds trust and a sense of belonging. Of course, there are lots of sunny windows, open spaces, chairs and chances to just enjoy themselves while being observed by numerous staff . Somerford has been crucial in my piece of mind and my wife's level of care.

A few months ago my husband and I found ourselves taking care of his brother. His daughter died suddenly and she had been his caregiver. She was so young, nobody expected this would happen. My husband’s brother has dementia and is unable to care for himself. He was so lost and spent most of his day sitting in a chair, watching TV. We decided we needed to find a better place for him. We were so lucky to find Somerford Place. Peggy, Leslie and everyone we met there were so friendly and welcoming. Seeing my brother-in-law now, living in Somerford Place, is so nice. He participates in the activities, always has a smile on his face and is so much happier. Thank you Peggy Massey for all of your help. We would recommend Somerford Place to anyone looking for a home for a loved one with Dementia.

In November 2017 I was looking for a Alzheimer's Facility for my mother. I live in Montana and my mother lives in Lodi, California. I looked on the internet not really knowing what to expect or who to call. I came across Somerford Place of Stockton. I looked at their website, picked up the phone and called them. I talked to the nicest person at Somerford Place. Her name is Peggy Massey. I told her my situation with my mother and asked her if there was anyway to get my mother into their facility. She told me that they were full but she would look into some options. Peggy called me back and told me they had made room for my mother and would be glad to accept her into Somerford Place. Now understand, Peggy Massey never met me but she went above and beyond to get my mother a room in their facility. This is the kind of people that are working at Somerford Place. People that care about your situation and go the extra mile to help you. My mother is getting excellent care and I have Peggy Massey and Leslie Anderson to thank for that. The best decision I ever made for my mother was to put her into Somerford Place of Stockton.
