    Caring peaceful home; mostly recommended

    I placed my mom at Songbird Care Home in Monterey County and was relieved - the house and grounds are beautiful, clean and peaceful, the right size for socializing (porch time, piano singalongs) and the owners Matt and Karie and long-tenured staff like Sheila were warm, organized and genuinely caring. Meals and activities felt homey and community-focused; COVID restrictions and renovations were handled thoughtfully but did limit visits. Staff did their best with dementia wandering, yet we ultimately relocated to a more secure facility for full-time perimeter care. Overall I highly recommend Songbird for most seniors for the excellent, attentive care and peace of mind, but confirm specialized dementia services if that's your loved one's main need.
