My mother lived at Raksha Care home for 1 1/2 years. During her time there she received excellent care. The meals are organic and prepared in their kitchen. She was showered daily. The staff was wonderful and really cared for the people in their charge. My mother never complained about the staff or the facility. This is a small facility and not for everyone but for end of life care i strongly recommend it.

As I learned through my research, Berkeley and Albany are not well-suited for board and care homes, largely because of geography and architecture. But my mother was used to the area and we wanted her to have some sense of familiarity in her transition from independent living. Despite being dark and cramped, Raksha looked good on paper - but the reality is completely different.
I had to be out of town when my mother was released from the hospital, so I only heard about her experience for the first week or so. My mother has always been very easy-going, accepting difficulties with the kind of fatalistic

Both our Father and Mother spent their last years here, and were extremely well cared for, and came to view Raksha as Home and the staff as part of their family.
Raksha is owned and operated by a mother and daughter team who treat their residents, as well as their staff, as part of their own family, and this love and concern shows in the low turnover of the staff and how the staff in turn comes to know each and every resident. I can't say enough about how important this familiarity becomes to the elderly - especially as dementia take hold.

Shalini was caring and honest with a transparent agreement process. The staff was very loving towards my grandmother who needed full help with transfers from the bed to chair, continence care, feeding and position adjustment. She was at the Garfield location. We got to know Carmen and the other staff members. They were loving, kind and gentle with my grandmother. My grandmother was always clean, well attended to, and given good food. They sleep there and provide 24/7 care. These days, this level of full care can be very expensive at the larger assisted living facilities. I found the prices

Just over a year ago we moved a family member into the Cornell location. Since then we have found the staff to be patient and kind and provide good care for medical and personal issues. The facility is always very clean and the food fresh. If any problems come up we get contacted immediately by Ms. Bhutani's daughter who manages the facility. Any emails sent are replied to promptly. It's a relief to have our family member somewhere safe, clean, and well cared for.

A frighteningly horrid dump to take you loved one for abuse or death, whichever comes first ! We dropped our Mom at the Stannage location in October under an agreement with the owner Shalini Bhutani, that was supposed to include night "awake staff" - meaning someone to be awake during the night to attend to obvious needs of a patient recovering from a stroke such as changing, cleaning, meds, liquids, etc. We paid an additional fee for this extra service, tacked onto the the cost of basic needs care and assistance. Our total payment for the month was about 5 thousand dollars.
