Quail Garden

Searching for a home for your loved one is so very hard. After searching for many months I was fortunate to find Quail Gardens. Staff us wonderful! My searching is done. Thank you!

As the owner of Quail Garden, I am grateful for such a great staff!

My mom was a resident here for 5 plus years. I can’t say enough good things about this place. The décor is warm and homey when you walk in and the people who work there are all very friendly and caring. Bob and Alicia who run the place are very nice and easy to work with. Mitzi and Pat who do the activities there keep the residents busy and happy. They decorate for all the holidays which makes it cheerful, have people come in to play music and entertain, do lots of crafts and play games and even do chair exercises. It’s a hard decision when you have to bring a parent to an assisted living facility but bringing my mom here made the decision a lot easier. I am grateful that my mom’s last years were in a place with loving and caring people.

We moved my 83 year old mother to Quail Gardens in January 2015. After looking at 10 assisted living places in the area (many visits at different times), we decided Quail would suit her needs better than the larger places we visited. While my sister and I loved the idea of trips and wine tastings on Sundays at the larger facilities, we knew my mom was not going to join in.
The environment at Quail Gardens is smaller and more intimate, giving her a sense of a home away from home. And, she has adjusted remarkably well. She was living at home with a caregiver but didn’t have interaction with anyone since there was no family living in her town. She now has a lovely roommate and it seems as though they are each trying to help each other. And, there is conversation around meals, activities, and entertainment throughout the week. The place is not so big as to be overwhelming and yet provides just the right amount of activity to keep her a little on her toes.
My sister and I feel so blessed to have found this place and mom is thriving.

I am writing this review from the perspective of an outside visitor.
I visit Quail Garden weekly with our dog Darwin. He and I are a therapy dog team who come to visit the residents. The staff is so friendly and the facilities are lovely.
There are always activities for the residents and with each season it is festively decorated. We visited on New Year’s Eve day recently and they had a special chef come in to do the holiday meal for their party.
We are always greeted warmly and many of the staff love seeing Darwin as much as the residents.
When Darwin and I first became a Canine Comfort team and I called to inquire I was told that there was already a regular visitor. I thanked the director and then she recanted and said «come anyway!» That was almost 2 years ago and I’m so glad that we’ve been able to bring a little joy to Quail Garden.

Quail Garden will always hold a very special place in my heart. After caring for my Grandmother at home for many years I made the difficult decision that I could no longer meet her care needs in the home. Quail Garden was like another home to her and eventually to the entire family. The owners, caregivers and activity leaders are not only skilled but incredibly loving and compassionate. I searched literally dozens of facilities in the tri-​valley and there is not even a close second in my opinion.

This an absolutely wonderful place. The home is warm and charming, and the staff are skilled professionals as well as amazing people that I feel very fortunate to have met. My grandmother spent three years living at Quail Garden, and there is no place that could have been better for her. The physical and health related care she received was impeccable. And the companionship and activities at Quail Garden actually made my Grandmother thrive in ways I had not thought possible at that stage in her life. I honestly believe this is a place that is actually better than being at home, no matter how good being at home is, for elderly people who could benefit from assisted living. I cannot recommend Quail Garden highly enough!

Hands down, the best senior citizen care home in Livermore. Friendly, caring staff and gorgeous rooms.
