Shearwater Senior Living

Thanks, Maureen!
Shearwater Residence was a blessing in every way. The administrative staff was efficient, kind, supportive, and flexible. The room they gave my husband was quiet and his view was a wooden deck, fence, and the branches from a thick grove of redwood trees just over the fence. It was perfect for the well-traveled man whose favorite place on earth was Pinecrest Lake in the Stanislaus National Forest! The caregiving staff was equally kind, intuitive to his needs, quickly responsive, and caring in both a professional and humane way. They accommodated the children who came from out of state, even allowing the travel van of the daughter from Washington to park in the back of the Shearwater lot during the week of Allen's residence there. Shearwater's set-up with the surrounding deck allowed for easy private access to his room at any time day or night without needing to enter the building's central meeting space or even see anyone else in residence, a blessing during COVID. The food was well-prepared and healthy. I am so grateful that Maureen Simmons, a Certified Senior Advisor, lead me to Shearwater for the final week of Allen's life. It was the right place at the right time for our family.

My Mom has been at Shearwater for over 3 years and she is well taken care of. She enjoys the friends she's made there and she likes the staff. It's like a family. There are workers who have worked there a long time and it's a smaller, intimate facility, which is great. During the pandemic, the workers have done what they could to make the lock down easier on the residents and families. My Mom is doing great and I am very thankful she is in the hands of caring people.
