"I'm sorry I couldn't have helped her more. "
My mother was placed in this Eskaton in 2016, and passed away in February 2018. During the time she was there she sustained approx. 10 falls, the last one face first on the bathroom floor, where she laid for some length of time before she was found with a fatal brain bleed. My sister had medical control of our mother, so any complaints or concerns I had were just seen as meddling. I was never called or informed of my mother's many falls, I would find out from my mother, or from a bandaged cut, or broken bone. In fact, as time went on, I felt entirely unwelcome there. I limited my visits to Sunday afternoons when I could avoid hostile staff... the Sunday staff was great. Small requests of mine were completely ignored. My mother lost a great deal of weight, and she didn't want to eat. I asked if she could have a protein shake for a snack. I was never given an answer. I asked if she could have a vitamin pill... her doctor refused to acknowledge me or my request. She never got either. Her death was by far the worst of it... because she was so frail, but wanted to get out of bed. She needed round the clock care during those final weeks, but didn't get it. I came in during evenings to find her alone, and/or blocked into her bed with furniture. She needed someone there, but only got it part of the time. I've worked full time in the medical field for 30 years. I know what my mother should have had, and I am so sorry I couldn't make it happen.

"Eskaton Made the Transition to Assisted Living Smooth and Comfortable"
My husband's dad moved to Eskaton a few weeks ago, and we're really happy with the care he’s getting. The staff is always attentive and helpful, and they keep his room very clean. He looks neat and seems happy. It’s been a big change for him since he lived with us for a long time, but they’ve worked hard to make him feel welcome and at home.

"Great services and care at this beautiful facility"
This facility feels like a fancy hotel with all the amenities, including room monitoring and full services. It's beautiful, friendly, and very convenient. It was everything we needed for my mom. The extra cost for nursing care is worth it.

"Fantastic Care at Eskaton"
I've been to Eskaton three times now with family members, and the staff is super friendly. The nurse who looks after my mother-in-law is amazing—she goes above and beyond. I couldn't ask for better cooperation. Overall, it's been a fantastic experience. The kitchen staff is also really friendly.

"Friendly Staff and Nice Place"
There are a few things that could be better. They didn't explain the laundry service well at first, and it's pretty expensive. Other than that, our experience with Eskaton Lodge Cameron Park has been good. It's a really nice place with friendly and helpful staff.
