Paramount House Senior Living in Vacaville

I moved both of my parents in to this facility 4 years ago. My parents went kicking and screaming, afraid we were dropping them off at a nursing facility. Once here, my parents quickly realized it was nothing like that. Each apartment is just that, their apartment. They are free to decorate and live here just as they did at home. The bonus is they now have meals, housecleaning and laundry provided for them (at no extra cost) They quickly got used to no longer having to do these things, leaving them more time to enjoy activities such as bingo and coffee chat or just listening to music. Although my dad prefers to stay in his room, my mom is always busy. Best decision we ever made.

My mom has been living at Paramount now for nearly four months, and hasn't been this happy in years. She had been living alone in her home getting home care three times a week, but at 92, it was time to move her to a more stable environment. Since she didn't want to move to Oregon where my wife and I live, we were very lucky to find her a spot at Paramount House. She is stubborn, and did not want to move into a "home", but once we took her in showed her around and met the staff she relented, and now she has no desire to go back to the house. I don't understand the negative reviews. Perhaps there was a staffing change because the staff is great, and mom loves it there. Jon the fellow who gave us the tour was a gem. He and one of the maintenance staff Larry, talked with her at length, listening to her stories and addressing her concerns (see pics I took). One of my showstoppers is lack of cleanliness, especially the smell of urine. The facility has always been clean, with no bad smells. The rooms are huge and modern. Mom can't remember how to operate a phone, so I can call and they will take the phone to her. The food can be a little bland I guess, but as seniors, I'm guessing spicier food might be problematic. All in all, mom is happy so I am too.

Speaking as an employee, Paramount House is a fantastic place to work. The team’s dedication to the resident’s care, safety, and emotional well-being is paramount. (sorry for the obvious descriptive). They treat the residents and their families like family. The longevity of many of the team members is a testament to their dedication to our community! I’m very lucky to be part of such a wonderful community!

I have worked at Paramount for almost 2 months now and it has been an amazing experience. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help. The residents are amazing too!

My mother lived at Paramount House for 2 years until she passed away in April 2016 and it was a great experience for the whole family. Mom made great friends and enjoyed her independence in her apartment because of all the support she received. We knew she was well taken care of and the staff was always responsive to her needs. I was there at least once a week during the length of her stay and I always found the facility clean and the residents happy and engaged. It has a "family feel" and it is smaller than some of the other local options so it was perfect for my mother.
