After hearing some of the horror stories about other assisted living communities, I was incredibly worried that my great aunt was going to be subject to abuse or negligence. Thankfully, this was not the case at all. Rancho De Calistoga is a lovely community of roughly 120 homes and offers independent, assisted, and full care living for seniors. The amenities are a little lacking- they have a lodge and a small swimming pool, but other than that people are left to their own devices. My aunt had to start her own bridge club to enjoy some time with her neighbors. But the facility is very well kept, clean, and safe. The homes are well sized and easy to clean. My aunt was under assistance, and her nurse was polite and attentive, if a little aloof at times while we were there. Over all the facility was great.
