Manzanita Village at Rancho Belago

Cindy

We toured Manzanita Village at Rancho Belago, and that place looked like a resort. It was beautiful. Elderly people live there and they can come and go as they please. And there's a lockdown facility for the memory care patients as well. upon entering it and entering the reception area, it looked like a resort. The facility is big. I was impressed with them. Manzanita Village is a little bit closer. But the lady that would give the tours had just gone to lunch, and we didn't have time. My aunt was in the car and she was getting restless, so, we had to take her back home. It's so huge, and my uncle felt like he would get lost here. And for me to just drop my aunt off here, I think I would get lost. Not that anything was wrong with the place. I thought it was like a five-star resort. And it was diverse where there were people who could come and go and who had more mobility. The memory care facility was at the back of the place. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to go back and tour the whole place. But the first impression was, 'Wow.' I would have chosen Manzanita personally, but my uncle, it was too much for him. He wasn't used to such a large scale. He felt it was kind of overwhelming. They were very helpful. We explained what our needs were. The reception girl explained everything. We saw another staff, and she was very friendly and had worked there for a long time. She said, 'I love my job. The staff here is great. I feel like I have a personal rapport with all my patients. I love my patients.'

My mother moved to Manzanita Village at Rancho Belago. It's a very nice facility. Population size wasn't as large as some of the others and price was a factor. She is in memory care. Her room is nice and adequate. The staff was very likable and they were engaged to the residents. Their people are appropriate for the industry. She's eating three meals a day, so she likes the food. I like their staff, too. She's participating in the activities. After shopping around, I think they are fairly priced.

My mother is in Manzanita Village Senior Living. It's been great. We chose them because they had availability. They were clean, friendly, and it's close to our house. It's very clean and well kept. I liked it. She really likes their food. It always smells good when we visit with her. They do daily activities, board games, and they have people come in and play guitar. They do family gatherings and they're having a Thanksgiving lunch on Friday. They seem to do a lot. The staff has been really helpful. I haven't had any issues. She seems to like doing some of the activities.

My relatives moved into Manzanita Village Senior Living. When I walked in there, I could tell it was a little bit more well-maintained. The place was nice. The staff who gave us a tour was a sweetheart. She went above and beyond trying to make sure that they got taken care of. The public facility where they eat looks nice and classy. It looks like something out of the old black-and-white, cocktail lounge where the seniors are. They explain some of the activities and stuff like that. For the most part, it seemed like the people were well looked after.

Mom moved to Manzanita Village Senior Living and our experience has been wonderful. I like the place. I love it. There hasn't been anything bad about the place at all. It's clean. It's well run and well taken care of. All the staff are very pleasant and seem to enjoy their job. They have a lot of activities and different things that they do with the residents. This past Thursday, they had a senior prom where they had a prom king and queen, a dance dinner, and a DJ. It was pretty fun. I had a meal there and it was great. I had steak and potato and asparagus. Of course, Mom got to eat for free. I paid $10 for my plate, but it was delicious. Manzanita Village Senior Living is one of the cheaper facilities. It's excellent. They're welcoming and it's a great place to put your loved one.

We visited Manzanita Village Senior Living. I liked the environment, the rooms, and the space. It was so nice, clean, and calm. The staff was really nice. I walked around, and one thing I always look for is to see how the clients look. They were all happy. I caught them before lunch time, and they were gathering together. They were just smiling all the time and saying, "Oh, you're going to like it here." That's what caught my attention. The staff that gave us the tour was really nice. She was very kind, understanding, and very patient. We walked around the whole facility with her. If we had any questions, we could ask. We had a meal there. We went during the lunch time. It was really nice. The setting was very homey and very family-like. The tables were nice. It didn't look like a high school cafeteria. It was round tables and more than one person could sit there. Someone would come to you, and they would take your order. They would come back to bring you what you needed. They always had substitutions. It was really nice because even if we were waiting for our food, they still would come around and ask if someone had taken care of you already.
