  Saratoga Retirement Community is truly one of the most beautiful places. The surroundings are tranquil, and serene—I’ve even seen deer grazing nearby, which adds to its peaceful charm. When my relative needed to stay in the health center for a few weeks, the staff at Saratoga were incredibly helpful. They handled the admission smoothly, assigned a comfortable room, and provided attentive, compassionate care. The nurses and rehabilitation team were especially supportive and played a big role in my relative’s recovery. The staff at the nursing station were always responsive and friendly as well. We genuinely love this community and have already recommended it to our friends.

  Stay far away from this place. The management is only out for money and the staff is not well educated- namely Lori Sexton. She and Karla Brown pretend like they care about residents, but please don't be fooled. They are under a ton of pressure from greedy management to move residents in to higher money making tiers and pretend like they care about residents when it's so abundantly clear they don't. Residents share they don't want to report falls and other incidents because they are afraid they will be forced to move out of independent living. Not a nice culture being created. The campus use to be great, but it's gone way down hill. During Covid they required their elderly residents to use an app to make daily dinner reservations. They have never taken this requirement away. Ridiculous! Who wants to have to plan ahead and make a specific time for a meal ahead of time in the place they live! They are also planning on cramming tons of new units on the property, removing trees, and causing massive noise and disruption. I regret putting our Dad there. Thankfully he has transitioned to a better place now. Wish we had way more insight in to this crummy and expensive place before putting our beloved family member there. Trust me find another place. Our Dads friends are still there and feel trapped now. :(

  My friend was in Saratoga Retirement center and has since passed. Here are my thoughts: The best part of the tiered system is independent living. The opportunities to be social are pretty good. But even here there are caveats. The pool is beautiful but when she was there the water was too cold for seniors who need warmer water due to arthritis. She felt pressured to always have table companions by arranging this ahead of time. You can also sit at a table for those who didn’t do this but if you want to eat alone it’s discouraged. This might be fine for extroverts but not introverts. If you need to go into assisted living the costs increase quite a bit and the rooms are smaller. In addition, lots of things cost extra not just the general extra cost but a hefty fee for handling your medication etc. The last tier skilled nursing was not good at all. My friend had to keep ringing for help which was often not answered until an hour later. She felt disrespected and they kept sending her out of skilled nursing into the hospital as they lacked respiratory therapists. My friend was not a demanding person but she was quite unhappy. Lastly she wanted to die at home with hospice but they sent her to the hospital. The facility is lovely with beautiful grounds but they are trying to add more units and reduce the amount of park area and put a building in front of the beautiful landmark building which will be an eyesore. I don’t recommend this place at all.

  My father had a rough summer, consisting of breaking his hip, followed by a hip surgery and 2 major back surgeries. When he arrived at the Saratoga Retirement Community Health Center, he was immobile and unable to care for himself. He began rehabilitation with their highly skilled, patient, caring, and motivating team of Physical and Occupational Therapists. Within a few short weeks, he was riding a stationary bike, walking, learning to dress himself, and much more. This outstanding team worked miracles and helped him regain his independence. He chose this facility for the reputation for rehab and it definitely paid off. Thank you Joyce, Fawn, and Lois! Although therapy was the focus of his stay here, we realize his improved health and strength involved much more than just therapy. He also needed good nutrition, a skilled nursing staff, proficient coordinators of his care, and much more. The food here is wonderful and the presentation is beautiful and very appetizing. You can get anything you want and their goal is to make sure you get the nutrition you need to get stronger, while also being happy. The nursing staff in the Health Building is absolutely amazing. They are the most caring, skilled, and gentle group of RNs, LVNs, and CNAs around. Their communication with each other was remarkable and everyone always knew what my dad needed. They were proactive, always followed through on things we discussed, and took amazing care of him. Everyone was so kind, respectful, and encouraging. They truly are a group of angels. The managers and staff in the other departments are incredible, too. Sandy does a fabulous job managing the entire facility, Rosalie is knowledgeable and was very helpful coordinating my dad’s transition home, Janeth worked hard to coordinate services and make sure we felt heard, Daniela bent over backwards to make sure my dad had anything and everything he wanted to eat, and Kristina and Lorraine were always looking out for him and making sure he was happy. The facility and grounds are beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. We especially enjoyed our peaceful visits on the back deck, where there was plenty of comfortable seating and opportunities to watch the birds at the feeders, squirrels playing in the trees, and an occasional deer walking by. Inside, they offered lots of activities. Our favorite days were when they had live performers. My dad really enjoyed the talented jazz trio and the singers/pianists, who focused on songs from my dad’s younger years. Having ice cream cones to enjoy during the shows was a nice touch. Inside his room, he had cable tv with the ability to record and pause his favorite programs, a nice, large bathroom, plenty of storage for his belongings, and the staff always made his bed when he wasn’t in it, so it looked nice. If he wanted something changed in his room, like having the tv moved to a different location or adding a wall clock, they always made sure he had what he wanted and/or needed to be happy. Although all of the things I mentioned are important and greatly added to my dad’s improvement and happiness, the thing I appreciated most is that I truly felt like I could trust everybody and know my dad would be safe in their care. After some very scary and upsetting experiences at a couple other organizations, I don’t take this for granted. I was so grateful to find the Saratoga Retirement Community Health Center. Everyone we interacted with was conscientious, caring, thoughtful, and aware of his complicated needs. They really listened to us, provided excellent follow through with any concerns or suggestions we brought up, and treated our family with great kindness, love, and respect. This place is one of a kind. I can’t emphasize enough how special the Saratoga Retirement Community is. If you have a loved one who needs physical rehabilitation, I don’t think you could find a better place than this. It is a true gem.

  SRC staff are caring, curious, and creative in their support to my Mother. I am confident she is well taken care of. I wish someone would plan out 4 fun activities for me every day! I could live in the puzzle library. The kitchen staff is patient and very accommodating. The front desk welcomes my visits with smiles. Rubina, Dawn, and Laura are spectacular in their kindness and knowledge. The facility is very clean, the grounds are also nice. Nested near the hills, there are some lovely views. Transitions for seniors can be rough terrain and SRC is very skilled at helping us navigate smooth passage. Thanks SRC!
