The best elder care home in La Vern

What we like the most about Genesis Manor is that it is very close by and easy to visit. The care givers are friendly, I switched to hospice and a nurse and doctor see my dad every week. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families. I think it is far better than any others.

Genesis Manor IV

Hello, my name is Gerry Markie and I am a registered nurse with over 50 years of experience. I own, manage, and run six licensed residential care homes in excellent areas above the 210 freeway located in La Verne, Claremont, and Alta Loma. I work with my daughter's Marya and Alaina as well as my son David. All three are Registered Nurses with hospital experience.

We are well respected in the community and we were recently featured in the Daily Bulletin in the August 10, 2009 edition. I was also recognized in May 2012 by the CA State Assembly and Senate for my work in the community. We have been in business since 1999 and have helped well over 200 people and their families.

Each facility is staffed 24/7 with seasoned, well trained caregivers who assist our clients with all aspects of daily living, medication management, and incontinence care. We almost always have two caregivers on at all times. This is provided in a secure homelike setting which is usually half the cost, and more personable, than most traditional nursing homes, large assisted living facilities, and in-home care services.

We have a physician who visits each home monthly and each home...

Great staff

I’m a Hospice professional with a patient here and I see how great the Caregivers are here when I come to see the patient on our services. The staff is friendly and the board and care is very clean and organized,

First, my mom was over 100 years old, when we moved her there. She was well past being able to participate in any of the activities she had once enjoyed in her former facility. I visited her at the Genesis Manor IV only a couple of times, as we live out of state. Genesis Manor homes are neighborhood homes, with live-in, 24-hour caregivers. [name removed] and [name removed] were the caregivers in GM IV, and we came to appreciate their care of Mom so much. The home was nothing like the independent-living facility where Mom had lived for close to 20 years. That facility had a much finer appearance--and charged much more. It had a potential occupancy of about 115 residents. Contracted caregivers were available at prices set by the lead caregivers, adding to the overall cost. And unless family members were very involved and frequently present, it was difficult to know how Mom was truly faring. We finally learned that the repeated assurance that Mom was "fine" had become a lie, so we looked for a new home for her. Enter A Place for Mom, through whom I found Genesis Manor homes. Unfortunately, nearly two years have passed since Mom died, and I no longer have those contacts, nor do I remember, for sure. The owner was, I think, [name removed] (?), but the person with whom I had the most contact was her daughter [name removed] (spelling is correct), who oversaw the particular home where Mom ended up. Anyway, my answers to further questions are very limited, because of the passage of time and my physical distance. Because occupancy is limited to two caregivers and six residents, my impression is that the homes best serve residents like my mom: limited in physical abilities due to age or disease. Care is very personal, fitted to the needs of the individual resident. Rooms are small, some private, others two-bed. Anyone looking for luxury, activities, and many of the amenities in larger facilities should look elsewhere. Anyone looking for more attentive care may find a fit for Mom in one of the Genesis Manor homes. Each of the homes was overseen by one of the owner's adult and professional daughters or her son. Each of them is an experienced RN, having hospital and hospice experience. The homes are not licensed as medical facilities, so the overseers do not do the nursing. But they know when medical care is needed, outside of the weekly visits by an M.D. or Registered Nurse Practitioner. My contacts with [name removed] were always pleasant and helpful. My last couple of visits to see Mom (preempted for a time, due to COVID-19 restrictions) convinced me that [name removed] and [name removed] gave the residents the individual attention each might need; they were receptive to reasonable visits, as long as visitors understood that the caregivers might be busy with meals or other residents. However, in our last visit, when Mom needed her oxygen set up, [name removed] came quickly and knew exactly what he was doing. This personal attention is invaluable; the medical knowledge of the owner, as well as [name removed] , [name removed], and their sisters, is priceless. And we went from paying over $[removed]/year for Mom's rent and "care" to less than $[removed]. I was not there to see six residents seated around the table. Mom needed someone to feed her (besides her age, her right rotator cuff had been injured in a fall in her previous location, where inquiries about her limited use of her arm were met with "Oh, it just hasn't fully healed from her last fall. But she's fine." She wasn't.). How many residents might have eaten at the same time probably depended on their individual needs and abilities. I can only guess that not many choices were given (e.g., "Would you like the pancakes or the oatmeal?"), due to the nature of the facility. If Mom wasn't hungry, she wasn't forced to eat. This is good care, too.

High marks, so far. We have a site tour scheduled; if everything looks good, we will leave the required deposit and hope to move Mom early in January. [Names removed]'s communications with us have been most helpful and pleasant. Thanks so much for this referral!

Review of Genesis Manor Iv-La Verne, Ca

I met with David [removed]. He was very willing to speak with me and gave me a lot of information. I did get a little more of a “sale-pitch” vibe from him as he took many opportunities to talk up the place. He and his family own several homes. He had rooms available in two of them and he showed both to me. Positives: David, his mother, and some of the staff are nurses and not just licensed care-givers. Rooms available were private and at a fairly reasonable cost. Negatives: A little far away from me in Alta Loma. Both houses were somewhat dimly lit. Not overly so but they didn’t have the brighter, cheerier atmosphere that other places had. Two of the rooms, although private, were really small. Small community bathrooms. They use baby-monitors to be able to see and hear residents in their bedrooms.

Big thanks to Missy Williams with A Place For Mom!

Missy from A Place For Mom did an exceptional job in identifying various options for care homes for our mother. After looking at many choices in the area it was clear that Genesis Manor IV would meet all of our needs. Their staff and management are highly reputable, knowledgeable, and caring. Since moving Mom in we are confident that she is getting the personalized attention she needs. She now has a team of nursing, medical and support personnel that take care of her overall well-being. I have visited several times unannounced and the staff have been very friendly and responsive. Watching your loved one struggle with physical and memory concerns is difficult, but Genesis Manor IV has eased that burden for us. I am very happy with Genesis Manor IV and big thanks to my Advisor for helping me find such a wonderful place!

Highly Rated

The overall experience with the Genesis manor, I find it very worthy of the value for care services received. I would rate everything very highly. The only issue that we have had so far is with the activities.

My Mom only stayed there for only a few days and then she passed away. The care and the caregivers were very good. She needed a lot of attention. She lived in the home on Amethyst St., Rancho Cucamonga.

Very pleasant and clean. Large areas. Afraid it is out of our budget at this time. Gerry said she would come to meet Mom and talk to her before if we thought that would be helpful.

Impressed with her medical background...

Impressed with her medical background and the caregiver personal attention to each resident. House does not have newer furnishings but was clean and well kept. There is only one caregiver, however the owners go over every day and they own another home a couple blocks away, so if the caregiver needed help there are people close by.
