    Welcoming, social, clean, slightly dated

    I felt genuinely welcomed-staff were mostly kind and warm, residents friendly, and visitors easily accommodated. I had a single room in a neat, walkable facility with lots to do (games, storytelling, church and activities), clean well-lit bathrooms, a tidy kitchen and a pleasant smell. Some interior areas looked old and dark and the pizza I tried was bland; a few staff seemed just OK. Overall, a nice, social, well-kept place.

    About Gold Quartz Inn Senior Retirement

    Gold Quartz Inn Senior Retirement sits at 15 Bryson Drive in Sutter Creek, California, and offers a safe, gated community for seniors with a focus on both comfort and practical care, and you'll see that inside you've got forty nicely finished rooms to pick from, many with their own private baths, private bedrooms, and even balconies or patios, some even having kitchenettes, and every room allows folks to control their own heat and air and includes local telephone service, which sure makes things easier day-to-day. The community supports independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, working to meet the needs of those who want to keep their freedom with a little help, and for others needing more hands-on support, there's always someone around, since care goes on 24/7 with staff there to help with medication, meal service, bathing, dressing, laundry, housekeeping, and even personal grooming at the on-site barber or salon. Meals are home-cooked, with three balanced choices every day, and the kitchen pays attention to special diets such as diabetic care, all served in pleasant dining areas with room for community gatherings and conversation, with luxury sitting and activity spaces to relax in or join activities.

    Gold Quartz Inn Senior Retirement is well known as part of the AssistCare Senior Living family, who've provided care for over 30 years across Amador County, and the staff does their best to provide a warm, nurturing place where everyone feels safe and respected, with a special eye on security and a 24-hour call system for emergencies, and you'll find the memory care area helps those with Alzheimer's and dementia with gentle reminders, structure, and visual cues. Outdoor life gets attention, too, with gardens, paths for walking, and safe spots to sit outside, plus there's a library for reading and plenty of indoor spaces for activities or devotional gatherings, so people don't get bored or lonely, since there's always something planned or a group headed out to local spots like Sutter Creek Ice Cream Emporium, Back Roads Coffee House, or spiritual centers like Immaculate Conception Mission, and if anyone needs medical care, pharmacies like Walgreens and hospitals such as Amador Community Health Center & Immediate Care are close by, with transportation services ready for appointments or fun outings. The place has a license for up to 47 residents under state license number 037001001, and every service is focused on helping residents with daily life, whether somebody needs a little help or round-the-clock attention, with respite and hospice care available for those who need extra support for a while. Regular programs and activities keep social connections strong, staff always aim to foster dignity and independence, and the place makes sure to offer a balanced, peaceful life, without ever feeling like anyone gets overlooked or rushed.
