I would advise anybody not to put their loved ones in this facility although it looks nice and new, I witnessed some staff members sitting down looking at their phones. You can never reach a staff member on the phone nor do they return your phone calls. My father was left unattended while he collapsed in the bathroom and passed away. HORRIBLE place!

The staff at Carson Tahoe Expressions Memory Care are absolutely wonderful! Our mom was shown love and respect, even though she was a difficult person and at times very disrespectful to the staff..I would be embarrassed and apologize for mom's behavior and the staff would just smile and assure me "Hey that's what we do..no worries" The staff hugs the residents, reassures them, says "I love you"..all the while taking care of the family too. The first time we looked at CT Expressions we arrived not having an appt and Leanne, wonderful caregiver, showed us around and answered all our questions. After mom became a resident, the staff won her over. I cannot speak more highly of them all!!
Dee Hutchinson
The care that has been shown to my mother at Expressions is exemplary. The proof of that care (as I witnessed) comes straight from my mother who, as she was placed in bed, reached her hand up and gently touched the nurse's cheek, then smiled and said, "thank you so much."
