Vaca Valley Living sits in a central spot near Vacaville, Dixon, Davis, Fairfield, Sacramento, Napa, and the Bay Area, so friends and family can visit often and easily with open visiting hours around the clock, which families really appreciate because you can pop in whenever you want to see your loved one, and the staff-who stay awake all night and all day-give you peace of mind knowing someone is always there. The facility focuses on memory care and offers special support for seniors with dementia, Alzheimer's, or other memory issues, using tailored care plans, a secure building to help reduce confusion and wandering, and technology like bracelets with alarms to help keep residents safe if they try to leave. You'll find a high staff-to-resident ratio here, so everybody can get more attention, and the staff-from Memory Core Operations LLC, family-owned with over 50 years of experience-aim to make you feel like part of their family, working alongside each resident and family and always treating folks with compassion and patience, no matter the stage of memory loss.
The place welcomes guests and has semi-private rooms, various floor plans, private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, high-speed internet, and phones, so residents can feel comfortable and stay connected, and you'll notice wheelchair access and pet-friendly policies that let you bring along a close pet as long as it's allowed. There's a secured memory care wing in its own building, designed just for people with Alzheimer's and dementia-so people prone to wandering or acting out can still get the care they need without putting themselves or others at risk-and the community welcomes hospice, which supports people at the end of life and offers all-inclusive pricing, meaning you get everything wrapped into one fee without hidden costs that can catch you off guard.
Residents can enjoy both indoor and outdoor common areas and a large courtyard, along with game rooms, walking paths, activity rooms, a spa/wellness room, fitness room, movie theater, library, and spaces for group activities, making it easy to find a spot for quiet or social time, whichever fits best. People can join yoga, art, gardening, trivia, karaoke, stretching, off-site bus outings each week, and all kinds of daily scheduled events, as well as live music, animal visits, and community-sponsored activities. All meals come from a professional chef with options that suit different diets-like no salt or no sugar-and everyone can dine when they like, whether it's restaurant-style or all day dining, even offering guest meals when family stops by, and the staff can prepare food for people with special dietary needs.
For residents who need help, there's medication management, assistance with bathing, dressing, moving around (with help from staff or specialized lifts for those with limited mobility), and support for people with incontinence or trouble remembering to use the restroom, plus nurses on hand for 12 to 16 hours a day. Diabetic residents can get help with blood sugar checks and insulin if required. The safety features include emergency alert systems in the rooms, on-site staff you can always reach, and extra security in memory care areas. Services like laundry, housekeeping, beautician, transportation, move-in help, and regular room cleaning lighten the daily load, making things smoother for everybody involved.
The entire property was purpose-built for memory care, and the sensory program lets residents join in music, arts, or other stimulating activities to keep minds and bodies active while interacting with others. There are also resources for behavioral health recovery, opioid and suicide support, and emergency services, connecting both residents and families with wide-ranging health and community resources through a website that includes a Care Guide, Health Library, legislative information tools, and directories for hospital, home health, nursing home, or practitioner searches. Vaca Valley Living also connects to the Network of Care for Service Members, Veterans & Their Families, broadening its resources for all kinds of residents. The facility welcomes people with different care needs, offers help as needs grow so nobody needs to leave if care increases, and supports seniors who wish to age in place within a supportive, home-like environment.
