Dorothy, my mother of 74 years, has been a resident of the Manteca Commons Union Ranch for a little over two years. My family and I have witnessed the excellent way that the Commons staff operates. We have witnessed the friendliness, staff support, and the patient and professional oversight of my Mom's health care impacts.
My family's original first look at the Commons struck is in a great way, mainly because of the beauty, ambiance, and setup of the Commons facility and grounds. After a little more than two years of several days per week visits my sister Diane and I have never seen any variance to the clean and will kept facilities and staff effectiveness.
Recently my Mom's loving and fair-minded personality has slipped into another hard to deal with attitude that is caused by dementia and possibly a UTI medical challenge that The Commons helped us diagnose and treat. We appreciate the open, friendly, and accommodating way The Commons team provides us. The Commons team is honest and has the power to work out the appropriate cost and conditions of the care that my Mom requires. Matt and Jasmin have had to work through several of Mom's out of character comments and actions. The Commons handled her miss-deeds in a professional and very correct way.
Kayla, Angela, and Giselle, arranged for a phone meeting that we agreed to do last Sunday. The Commons at Union Ranch team patiently and effectively laid out the challenges that my Mom was having with her independent living situation. The Commons description of the benefits and costs of moving her to the Memory Care Unit was explained very well with no pressure on us to make the decisions to move her to a much safer and appropriate life style.
My family have all witnessed the honest, friendly, and understanding way that the Manteca Commons Union Ranch staff give during our many visits with mom. We all have witnessed the great care The Commons gives to my Mother during the last stage of her life. She has transitioned her personality because of dementia and often has "sundowner experiences. The Commons team knows how to help Mom deal with her delusions, and they always call us when they see her in stress that we can help her to deal with. She has said things to The Commons staff that she would have never thought to say when she was healthy and clear minded.
My family and I often explained to our family and friends about the great care that Mom gets at The Commons Union Ranch in Manteca for over two years.

The Commons takes very good care of my elderly mother. Preet is always on top of her medication refills and Chandra, Liz, and all 3 Jasmines treat her very well, dress her, and get her to her meals.

This is an exceptional facility. It is well designed and beautiful. The apartments are bright and cheery, the staff is friendly and always greets you with a smile. The residents we have talked to seem so happy.
Our dining experience was excellent. The family was able to sample the food in the dining area and we have eaten at some restaurants where the food doesn’t even compare to what they served us. My husband ordered fish because that is a tell-tale sign of a good chef and it was delicious!
This review has a lot to do with your Marketing Director, Deanna, she has all the qualities we looked for when looking for a place for our mom who has dementia. She took the time touring us on two separate weekends. She answered all of our questions and made it so easy for us to make a decision. She is low-pressure, patient and empathetic. Having to make this decision for our mom was difficult but she put us at ease.
We quickly reserved the 2 bedroom and we are so excited to move her in where so can spend her later years in a facility as beautiful as The Commons at Union Ranch. We are actually jealous! We should be so lucky to live here! For us, The Commons checked all the boxes

In my opinion these folks are the best in the business. My Mom needed a place to live after she was physically unable to stay in her home of 65 years. We moved her in using a wheelchair and needless to say it, was a difficult adjustment. From the first hour she was there she was welcomed and assured that they can and will help her adjust and thrive in her new home. They have consistently been patient and kind with our entire family. The staff, from the wait staff in the restaurant, housekeeping, front desk (Grace and Espie and all others), med techs, Chefs, business office, and EVERY member of the team has treated her with respect and care. She now walks around the entire facility daily, including outdoor walks and the beauty shop, and has a growing social life.
Deanna told me she would be in good hands, and she has delivered on that promise. The attitude of every staff member is that we are all caregivers and can help make sure she is happy and safe. They have hit it out of the park as far as I’m concerned.
