    Highly recommend compassionate Christian care

    I placed my mom here and I'm very glad I did - the staff are warm, highly competent and genuinely caring (Cecelia, Melinda and Odessa stood out). It's a loving Christian, family-like environment with beautiful grounds, updated rooms, private rooms available, and a pleasant dining/common area that accommodates dietary needs. Activities were excellent before COVID and are limited now, but outings and programming resume when possible. My mom initially struggled but flourished and received exceptional end-of-life and ongoing care - great value and I highly recommend.

    About Mercy McMahon Terrace

    Mercy McMahon Terrace sits in a quiet Sacramento neighborhood, right across from Mercy General Hospital and close to shops, restaurants, and other medical offices, so it's pretty convenient for people who still like to get out or have appointments. This community has a capacity for 189 residents and offers several types of care, including independent living, assisted living, nursing care, memory care-like the program called June's Place-and even hospice care for those who need it. Folks can choose from studio, studio deluxe, or one-bedroom apartments, and some rooms come with private bedrooms or kitchenettes for those who still want to do a little cooking. Basic comforts, like wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV, and free Wi-Fi, are included, and there's an emergency call system in every unit.

    The staff includes personal care assistants and a part-time nurse, and they're around twenty-four hours a day to help with things like dressing, bathing, medication, diabetes management, incontinence care, non-ambulatory and bedbound care, as well as memory support for residents with conditions like dementia. Supervision of medication, help with oxygen, and catheter or colostomy care are available too. If someone's looking for housekeeping, laundry, or companionship, staff can help there as well. There's also financial aid and help with selling a home, which can be a relief when moving in.

    Meals are chef-prepared and served restaurant-style in the main dining room, and there are many options, including dishes for folks who want low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, international, or sugar-free meals; plus, there's an anytime dining option if you don't want to eat at set hours. Residents can have guest meals, and there's a bistro on-site for snacks, fruit, or baked goods throughout the day. Amenities also include a café, a private dining space for family visits, and free transportation for shopping and errands Monday through Friday, or you can use nearby public transit. There's a chapel with an on-staff chaplain, weekly Mass, and other religious services, along with VA Aid Assistance for veterans.

    The community has a beauty salon, a barbershop, fitness centers, a library, lounge areas, a game and craft room, and offers regular social and wellness activities. People can join word games, storytelling, dramatic readings, faith sharing, music events, crafts, cribbage, and organized outings. Outdoor gardens give a quiet spot to relax. There are also fitness classes like yoga and stretching, and scheduled events that help folks stay active, connected, and entertained. Monthly programs promote wellness and encourage everyone to stay involved if they want.

    Mercy McMahon Terrace allows visits during the week from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm and on weekends from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, with staff at the front desk to help with visitors during those hours. The facility accepts checks, credit card payments, insurance, and charges a one-time community fee. The place is licensed under state license number 340312763 and holds a 4.4 rating from 11 reviews, which lets you know folks seem to appreciate the place overall. The whole setup tries to support independence but offers enough help for people who need a hand with daily life as they get older, and you can always find someone around if you need something, which brings peace of mind for many.
