Eskaton Village Placerville

I’ve lived in the cottages here at EVP now for just about a year now and I can absolutely say I love it. This is home now, living here is the nicest place I could’ve found and I’m so blessed my family and I found it. I’ve got my place, lots of space for all the things I’ve collected in my life, my pet, all of it. I’m comfortable and I’m happy. Living here, I’ve found friends for life and I’ve haven’t met a neighbor or staff member I didn’t like, everyone is so kind and open. The food is just fantastic, I can say I’ve never had a bad meal here and have always enjoyed the quality and service, and the activities are just wonderful. I always look most forward to the live music performances we have here, being able to sit and listen to different types of music and shows is just delightful. I feel I’m blessed to be living here, I love it.

The tour at Eskaton Village Placerville went very well. I liked the cottages. I thought that was nice. The dining schedule has a two-hour window, as opposed to just a single starting time. I didn't have anything about it that I didn't like. I had a meal, and it was quite good. I was very satisfied with it. The apartments have a washer and dryer in them. They have a year-round indoor swimming pool. They have both independent and assisted, so that was an advantage because if you're doing independent living and you want to go to assisted living, you can just stay at the same location. The staff was very good. The facility was very clean, very nice, and relatively new. I just found it refreshing that it had outdoor cottages. I thought that was a special touch.

I have lived here at EVP for going on two years now, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I’m able to have my own space all to myself where I can comfortable in, the staff have been an absolute delight the entire time I’ve known them. They all treat me well and with an absolute kindness, I’m well cared for. it’s all well done, the Housekeeping I receive especially is always wonderful and they go above and beyond for me, my neighbors are wonderful and I couldn’t be happier with where I am, I love it.

The tour at Eskaton Village Placerville was excellent. The staff was just very thorough and friendly and answered all the questions. She went above and beyond, she showed us everything. They had cottages there, and the layout of the facility was very nice. I wish my mother would have wanted to live there gradually, it's just that the cottages were just too small for her and she didn't want something that small. She likes everything about the place, she just wants something bigger, a more open space. We heard that she said the food was good, but we did not try any of them. It was a very good tour and it seemed like a very nice place. The golf carts will pick up the seniors and bring them to wherever they want to go so they don't have to walk. It was very clean, it was very organized, and it was a nice layout.

Eskaton Village Placerville was very clean and well-run. They were very thorough in our checking in and out of the place. It looked like they took really good care of their residents. It was just a little too expensive. The staff was very nice and thorough and when I left there, I pretty much understood exactly how the whole thing works there with my father and how they take care of these old people. The room got a little bedroom and there was a big bathroom in the bedroom and there was a camera in there in case one of them fell or anything, so they could kind of keep an eye on them even though nobody else is there with them. There was also a bathroom down the hallway, and the showers were very large. They said that you could bring some personal items into the room if you wanted to. I was impressed with it. The receptionist at the front desk was very friendly and the woman that took us on the tour was very friendly. It was all in very good condition, nice, and clean.

I toured Eskaton Village Placerville and I just thought it was very nice and very clean. It was a very nice country setting. The room was like an apartment, and it was very nice. The staff was very nice and helpful. They had a lot of different amenities like a pool, a gym, a barbecue area, and walking trails.

I went to Eskaton Village Placerville. It's close to where I live. It's kind of in the mountains. They have a wonderful grown atmosphere. It's lovely with trees and it's a little bit more mountainous characteristic. The whole atmosphere was warm and just very giving. The people who gave me the tour were just really friendly and open. We talked about what my needs would be and my concerns, and so they were very thorough in making me comfortable with what my needs would be and met. The rooms are fine. They had wonderful activities. They like to get the residents out into the general community area. They keep them busy. All of them don't have to do one activity. They have a variety of activities for the levels of dementia or levels of memory loss. They have everything from walks around the facility to bingo, to mind activities, to puzzles, to pizza making, to all the kinds of things that will keep a person active and make them feel comfortable. The memory care has its own kitchen and dining room, and they had their own pizza-making day, and it was just fun. There must have been eight residents there, and they all had their own pizzas they can make. It was a fun activity. Everybody looked very, very happy. It wasn't like they were dragging them out of the room to go like, 'Okay, you sit here, and you play bingo whether you want to or not.' They were optional activities. There are more advanced activities for the ones that aren't quite that loss of memory. They have the choices, and they would help them make choices if necessary. It was wonderful. They just made me feel warm, they could see my concerns and they were just very compassionate.

I looked at the independent living at Eskaton Village Placerville, they're like little duplexes and it was nice inside. My dad is a smoker, and they only have one little dinky gazebo and if it's raining he'd have to walk out in the rain and stand under this gazebo just to have a smoke. The staff who gave the tour was very professional and very knowledgeable. You turn off Placerville Drive, and it's a single road going up to them and they're at the end of this road. It's very beautiful surroundings. I like the trees and mountains and they get some good views there. It's nice looking and well cared for. They have a little front balcony, a little porch area, and nothing in the back that I saw.

Eskaton Village Placerville was very nice. It's newer, and they have many floor plan options, duplexes and single family homes, and some of them had nice views. The cottages were very attractive, cute, and nicely landscaped. One disadvantage is that you would have to walk or take a shuttle to the main building for your meals; although the staff member said that you can have them delivered if you choose to. The staff person who gave me the tour was very nice. She was only able to show us one unit. They have a very long waiting list there, so there weren't many places free to tour. The rooms were a little bit smaller than some of the others; but then again, we only saw one unit because some of the other units were actually larger. They got a pleasant dining room with tables not too close together, which I guess that had to do with COVID. I've been there before because I have known people that have lived and purchased freestanding houses there. They were (in my opinion) pretty wonderful. They've given a lot of thought to the storage, and they had very, very nice floor plans.

I have placed two different family members over the past 7 years. This place is beautiful,caring, restaurant style food, just every thing the best you could have. I dealt with assisted living and independent living. I have moved to idaho bringing my Mom with me and have experienced the worst care. I just wish I could have moved this facility with me. Thank you for always giving me the best. I love this place!

Eskaton Village Placerville was actually very nice. We liked it and my mother-in-law liked it as well. It seemed like a nice place that she would have enjoyed. The person who toured us was knowledgeable. She showed us around and seemed to be personable. They also had a courtyard.

LisaH

I visited Eskaton Village Placerville to check their independent living. Instead of apartments, they had cottages which were very nice. The layout was very sufficient and had good rooms. I saw people swimming, their dining facility, and the game room. The place was really spacious, looked well-kept and clean. The staff who was showing me around was professional.

Excellent program. Plenty to do. Interesting programs.

Beautiful, well-maintained grounds with scenery to match. Above and beyond care to seniors.

I enjoy being here at Eskaton Village. I am in a cottage. What they provide is great. I can't complain. The food is okay. There's a big variety. We don't all like the same thing. I haven't got involved too much with activities. The rooms are great, especially what I have is a 1-bedroom, with the living room and kitchen together. It's very convenient. There's a variety of living areas, for those that need care and for those who need basic assistance. The setting is very good also. The location is in a very inviting area. I enjoy it here very much. The whole area of Placerville is nice.

Eskaton Village is very good. The staff is very good. I've been here 10 years and I've never been annoyed by anything they've done in any way. They're very courteous and effective. They're great. They have exercise groups, calisthenics, and the staff seems to be effective in doing the job. I've spoken to several people who are residents themselves and those people have a pretty good setup, and they have no serious gripes about it. There are various setups involve. There are 39 cottages, and the people in the cottages, as I've been told, they get 45 meals a month for the rent.

SueHappyFace

Excellent fitness classes, activities and events for the senior population. Friendly, caring staff. 24-hour security patrol. Beautiful swimming pool and spa. Beautiful community setting, but landscaping around homes and in common areas leaves much to be desired, and is not maintained as well as I would have expected.

MorleyP

We really enjoy our activities, very friendly place to live. All the staff are very nice to deal with.

Eskaton Placerville Memory Care was the fourth and last place my father lived with advanced Alzheimer's. They were by far the best. Their caregivers really do care and respond quickly to any request or issue. They respect and engage with residents - even if they are wondering the halls in the middle of the night or are agitated. They make sure they are nourished, kept clean and comfortable. It takes a very special person to work with residents with this cruel disease. I hold them in the highest regard. They helped my Dad and my family to the very end of his journey. I will never forget their support for me in my Dad's final moments. I am eternally grateful.

I recently had lunch with a good friend who is a resident at Eskaton Village Placerville. I was very impressed with how wonderful the facility is. The staff greeted me and made me feel like I was welcomed there. I noticed right away how clean and inviting it was. We ate a delicious lunch as we sat there enjoying each others company. I could tell the residents all loved enjoying each other’s company as they sat there conversing. What a great place to be and great place to live!!!

Dan W

Visited the facility recently to see a dear friends mom. Definitely not what I expected. Beautiful grounds and very friendly staff. For anyone ready to move their loved ones into an assisted living situation, I’d highly recommend checking this place out!

LTWa

Wonderful place. My mother has been through all levels of care here, and at present is in memory care. It is very much her home and the staff is very kind.

Earlene

My daughter lives in the area and she saw Eskaton Placerville on TV. We came in and visited. I was impressed and bought one of the houses right on the same day. I have a wonderful experience here. They have cottages, people that are in the lodge and people that have their own homes. I'm one of the one who owns their own home and I’m very happy with it. The dining and the food are very well too. I'm very happy with it. Sometimes, I have lunch there and sometimes I make my own. I'm very happy with the activities as well. When I'm a resident I can still participate in any activities that they have here at the lodge. I can have a swim in the pool or do anything that they offer. Anytime I need anything or something go wrong, I call them they're right on the spot. It's everything that they said. I'm VERY happy here!

Marjorie

Our mother has been a resident at Eskaton Village Placerville for 7 years, mostly in Memory Village. It is difficult having a loved one with dementia, but everyone at Eskaton Village Placerville has made it the best possible experience. It's a really nice place to visit. EVP has beautifully decorated, comfortable, and inviting spaces, and it is always clean. The RCAs are respectful and caring, as is the rest of the staff. If medical care is needed, the staff is great, working with us and doctors. There is plenty of activity for those up to it. We are happy to have our mother live here.

I recently visited this community and was very impressed by the quality of this place and the amenities it has to offer. The residents seemed to be enjoying themselves and the staff were very welcoming. The property is also very well kept!

So thankful my dad is here. Grounds are lovely, and secluded enough that you don't feel like you're in a city. Still close enough to town that we can take him out to dinner and spent the day with him. Staff is wonderful and attentive. Still have to deal with day to day issues, but him being at Eskaton makes it a bit easier.

Eskaton Village was positive and good. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Most of the residents were happy but a few were bored.

My mother has resided at Eskaton for two years now. I cannot say enough good things about Eskaton Village and the wonderful, well-trained and caring employees. My mind is at ease knowing that she is always well cared for when her family is not with her. Lots of activities and excellent food. A welcoming and comfortable home for my mother.

Lee348830

I live in the cottages, so I don't need care yet. But I love the "events" and "outings" Eskaton plans for us. Jane is excellent at her job and so is Guy! The dining room staff is always kind, helpful and polite to us!

Dorothy405081

I've received very good services since I've been here for 2 years. Everyone is very helpful. The exercise classes and entertainment is wonderful. Thank you.

As a volunteer, I enjoy watching the residents do activities that help them with their eye and hand coordination like balloon volleyball. Everyone plays along with the residents. Also the type of music that is played, the residents sing along and enjoy listening to it.

Overall good care. I make sure my mom is taken care of well, so I go in at least once a week. Everybody is very friendly. The doctor said my mom looks well and seems to be taken care of well.

I have been a volunteer since August 2014. I help out with activities and outings. Eskaton does a fabulous job planning fun and practical activities for their residents. The residents are genuinely happy and well cared for. I do hope when my time comes I can stay here.

I have many food and chemical sensitivities. I lived in the lodge several months, and a cottage a year and a half, which was indepedent living. In both situations, Eskaton worked very hard to accommodate my extreme needs.

Eskaton is a nice facility. It’s clean and they seem to care about the people. The staff that toured us was very capable. The dining room was pretty nice, but it was a little cramp.

Mel M

Everything is amazing at EVP. Just driving up Blair Lane to the facility puts you in the mood to enjoy your visit. The setting is beautiful and serene. The management staff and caregivers are cordial, very friendly and ready to help. My wife is in the Memory Care Unit, suffering from Alzheimer's disease and is treated with all the care and respect a queen would deserve.

We moved here because you don't have to pull weeds or mow the yard. It was an ideal move.

Charles R602826

We chose this place because of the location and the convenience of everything. It's close from town and you don't feel you are detached from things.

Sue A882356

I was very happy when I was brought here the first time. I liked the way it was laid out. I walked in the cottage and it was like home. There is a big room called the den where I have my desk and cedar chest. You are not bothered with traffic noise. It's very private.

We looked for 2 years. We visited places in Palm Springs, Roseville, Carmichael, and we found a jewel here in Placerville.

Wonderful! We love the staff, every staff member treats all the residents with love and respect. They brighten my mom’s day and tuck her in at night with loving care. We are thrilled to find such a perfect home for my mom.

Peggy863381

The employees here are thoughtful and seem to anticipate needs before we know what we want. The level of care here is excellent.

Shirley K355051

When you look them over, this is the best one around. In a cottage, you are free to do what you want to, go to activities in the village center, take walks, take the bus. If I didn't drive, I can sign up to go shopping. I love this place. I love the people.

Dorothy D182150

All services here in the lodge are excellent. The staff are all amazingly caring and supportive. They have become our friends - in the way we think of them. My only area of discontent would be the preparation of the food; it was so much better a few months ago.

Barbara G562136

Dining room - they serve you. They know your name and ask what you want. If something isn't working, they will get to it as soon as they can. They have a bus that takes you to a doctor's appointment. That really helps.

RW365530

The caregivers are helpful and caring. The administrators are very supportive. This is a positive experience.

The staff members are wonderful. We are there almost daily and see how they interact with the residents, treating them as family. When we can't pop in we know mom is in good hands.

PattiVTXAM

We chose an independent living cottage at Eskaton in Placerville for my mom. The grounds are nicely kept, and the facility is beautiful and really nice. The gentleman, Neil, was very gracious and showed my sisters and me around, then treated us to lunch there so we got to eat some of the food. It was a nice visit. The food was great, and the dining area was nice and clean. The waitresses were cheery and acknowledged the people they knew who came in. When you put your own furniture and your own touch on the rooms, it becomes your home. Otherwise it’s pretty austere, but it’s nicely planned out.

HarryPPAJF

Eskaton Village was a very nice, large, warm community with independent-living cottages. They take dogs and they even have some homes on the grounds that people can purchase that are not necessarily senior-living facilities. The grounds were spread out, really lovely, and well-cared for. The location is in a rural community in the hills. They took me around the grounds and showed me the recreational areas, swimming pool, exercise room, and library.

Cathy N.

We visited Eskaton Village Placerville. The only thing I did not care for was that the community itself felt like it was out in the boonies, and I felt "Oh, my God! If there is a fire, how can everybody go out?" There was a long road to get to the Escalon in Placerville. However, the people were superb. The place was very fresh. The activities really worked. I had not eaten the food, but it looked good. The menu looked superb. They had chefs there. They had facilities like rooms if you wanted to have the whole family group there. They had the same types of outings, and they also took people to doctors' offices. They do crafts and they had little examples of what people had drawn. I thought that would be fine. They also had a game room. They also had a movie room. If my mother-in-law had not chosen the one she was in now, we would be happy with that too. They seemed very competent. They had monitors. If somebody went into the bathroom like 40 or 50 times, then it was okay and alert or if nobody went in and out of the room, that was alert also. So, they were very into making sure that the residents stayed healthy.

Caring113067450

Eskaton Village Placerville was great, excellent, and incredible. It was clean, well-maintained, and looked nice. The staff was very pleasant. I was very impressed. If we do have to move our grandmother at some point, that would be the place that we would choose for her.

My mother is in Eskaton Village. I like it. It is good for my mom. She is much more comfortable. It is a healthier, more nurturing environment. It is good. She has her own room.

Eskaton Village Placerville was small. The dining area was OK.

Caring79117150

My first impression of Eskaton Village Placerville was that it was very nice and very clean. It was pretty and brand new. They are in a very nice wooded area. A friend of mine had placed her mother there. They have assisted living and then they have where you really actually need a lot more help. The community was beautiful and very clean. I had visited my friend's mom there and I just like it. For accommodations, the assisted living ones were like very large bedroom and very large bath. They did have a nice little living area and a little kitchenette that had a microwave and a little refrigerator. They were very nice. They also offered cottages and little houses with garages. They did have one-bedroom and two-bedroom cottages. They had high ceilings and they were really roomy. They had little cooktops. They were nice. Everything was clean and new. For activities, they did have all kinds of things. At that time, they were painting. They also had transportation that would take them to doctors, etc. I had seen the dining room and the menu. Actually I was impressed with their menu. My friend's mom has said that she does enjoy the food there.

I visit my grandmother several times a month and i got to know a lot of the staff at the facility. They are very nice and friendly. They look happy and enjoy their work. My grandmother loves the caregivers. She said they take care of her like a queen.

This community is exceptional in the way they provide care. My mother lives in this place and the staff is absolutely wonderful, bar none! They treat you like family and not just a client.

Look no further, this is a very clean, beautiful and nice place for your loved one. My parents moved at Eskaton when it opened over a year ago and they are very happy with the caregivers and all the staff. Everyone is very attentive to the clients who live there. I visit regularly and I've seen enough to say they do an exceptional job.

When I first started looking for an Assisted Living for my Dad, I looked at 6 places. I was impressed with this community. I moved my Dad almost a year ago and he is very happy with everything about Eskaton. The staff is great including the Administrator who is very friendly and accommodating. I'm really surprised about the negative review. Anyway, I hightly recommend this place.

kaylah

It was very hard to think about putting mom in an assisted living facility. She lived with me for over a year and I watched her slipping farther away each day. We looked at a lot of communities and decided on Eskaton in Placerville. It is absolutely beautiful, clean and the staff is so loving and kind and very capable. Mom fit in immediately and is always saying how much she loves everyone who works there. She recently fell, when visiting relatives and the added concern and care upon returning to Eskaton has been superior. Her memory has actually improved since she moved into Eskaton. I'm sure her improvement is because of the added activities and socializing that the staff has provided. They are good at notifying me if there is ever a problem . She considers Eskaton her home .
