We had an in-person tour of Valle Verde. It's more like cottages, which is one of the things that appealed to me. The other thing that appealed to me was that it was continuous care, so I could move from independent living to assisted living. They also have skilled nursing. The facility was beautiful. The grounds were beautiful. They had a pool and a workout room. They have two dining rooms, one casual and one more formal. Their menu is quite extensive. If you're in the regular dining room you have quite a large choice every day. I only met the lady who was in sales, and she was very nice. She was very efficient, answered all my questions, and took us around to see the whole facility. It's the one that I really liked the best.

When I visited my folks at Valle Verde, the first thing I noticed was the beautiful landscaping and the fragrance of flowers. As I walked to their duplex I was struck by the peaceful ambience. I knew within those first minutes that this was a perfect setting for them. That feeling was reinforced time and time again in many ways: the friendly attitudes of the dining room staff; the neighbors who became friends of the family, and then; when they moved to Assisted Living, the utterly caring and professional attitude of each and every staff member as our mom and dad became less able to care for themselves. We knew the staff were always watching over them and for that we are forever grateful. Thank you for treating our parents with love and respect and helping them truly enjoy their final years.

My cousin is a resident of Valle Verde. It is absolutely beautiful. The staff is really great, and the food looks really great to me. When he got there, he really enjoyed it. I know they have bingo. If a resident or a patient has some kind of talent (like playing an instrument, dancing, or anything of that nature), they encourage that. They come every day to give them physical therapy. I thought the food looked great.

We had a really thorough tour of Valle Verde. I would've moved in that week. I loved it. We looked at independent living. It was a beautiful community. It was winding streets and in the center of all of it were their community facilities, the pool, the dining, the mailboxes, the theater, activities, all of that sort of thing. I got to see a lot of that. We got to spend time inside one of the units because we were actually met by very, very old friends of my husband, who he hasn't seen for decades. We connected up with them and found they were living there. They gave us an hour and a half tour all over the property. They have orchards. They have fruit trees growing all over. You can have your own vegetable garden. It was absolutely lovely. It's very low rise and just very kind of organic. Some of the units are newer and some are older. We visited one of the older units that our friends live in. It's more compact than some, but we enjoyed how they made it work. They have two patios: a front and a back patio. We were impressed with all of the amenities. I wish the pool was bigger; but for what I need to do, the pool's fine. They talked about the food that was offered and how it was handled. Everything about it sounded just fabulous. We came away with fresh oranges from a street tree in our friends' community. She introduced us to some of the staff and told us about how helpful they'd been about arranging for some accommodations for their family who's coming to visit soon. The only reason that we might not have just said this is the one is because that's it's Santa Barbara. None of our family lives there. There are not that many people who live there that we know. We still wanted to see it though, so we knew what the options were. I loved it. Everything about it was neat. The newer buildings that they've built were so lovely on the outside. They looked like a nice resort. Our friend was so happy to be living there during her illness because of the things that were brought to them and the help that they received during COVID while she was ill. She said it couldn't have been better. She can't imagine having gone through that in their other house. The staff was there to help them in every way possible. She said they were amazing. They showed me the woodshop and an art studio. It's all great. I would have so much fun there.

We’ve been at Valle Verde for over four years. When people ask how we like it, our answer is “it’s the second best decision we ever made, second only to getting married 50 years ago.” The staff is superb - responsive, receptive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food is varied, with many choices. Yes, wine is available - by the glass or bottle. And many flavors of ice cream! Activities on campus are so numerous that it takes a multi-page weekly program to list them all! Off-campus activities (symphony, music academy, legitimate theater, etc.) are encouraged by Valle Verde’s busses going each way. Come check it out! I’ll bet you’ll want to join us. We look forward to meeting you!

We toured Valle Verde Assisted Living. The rooms were fine, but it won't work out for what we need. They were clean and adequate, nothing special, it was just like a bedroom that opens up into a living room. I saw their rec room and they were keeping everyone busy. The staff-members were all very congenial and helpful. The residents could order off of the menu and there were selections for meals in the dining room

My husband, our 11-year-old therapy dog and I moved to Valle Verde 3 years ago. Although we had not planned to move to a retirement community this soon, we were offered one of Valle Verde's new two-bedroom cottages and we just couldn't refuse. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. The setting is lovely-- one story residences set on 65 acres -all within walking distance to the dining rooms (2), swimming pool and jacuzzi, exercise room AND to your neighbors. We have met several new neighbors (now friends) and often share a glass of wine with them in our home or theirs before going to dinner. We cook only when we want to, so we have plenty of time to go to community events (symphony, live theatre, movies) without feeling pressured. The entire Valle Verde staff is very supportive - when we suggested that our dogs needed a place to run off-leash, our executive director helped us build a dog park. Our life at Valle Verde is stress-free: no maintenance repairs, no cleaning, gardening only when we want to (there is even a gorgeous rose garden and mosaic garden for serious gardening residents). There are so many activities offered to us that it's hard keep up with them all, although some residents do try! I spent 10 days each in Valle Verde's skilled nursing on two separate occasions following hip replacement surgery in 2016. The care I got from both the nursing staff and physical therapists was outstanding. Equally-- possibly even more important--was the care that the nursing staff gave to those who were probably going to spend the rest of their lives in skilled nursing. I still get a lump in my throat when I think of the kindness the nursing staff showed these residents 24/7! Valle Verde's entire nursing staff--at all levels--are the unsung heroes of the medical world. We love our life at Valle Verde! Do come visit!

The lovely wooded, spacious grounds and private, one-story duplexes were the draw for me. Views of Coastal Oak preserved hills and mountains wherever one strolls renew me. A dog park, creek walk and the children's playground across the residential street enticed me. My grandchildren brag about "the pool and ice cream". Interesting programs, traditional holiday events, movies, book club A choice between cafeteria style dining with full salad bar, great soups and good desserts and The Grill with fine dining. THE BEST: warm, friendly staff & residents!
