Assisted Living Communities in Altadena, CA

"Glen Terra's setup was nice. The staff was great, and the tour was really nice. The place was very warm and inviting. The staff didn't leave us by ourselves; they were always there and very attentive. "

"I like Santa Anita Retirement Center. We chose them because they provided more services for less money. The facility is all clean. My mother-in-law is sharing a room with somebody, and that was our choice because she needs to have company, otherwise she hibernates. She has a nice room. It is very cheery, not dark. There are lots of activities in the facility that she could participate in. They even have an activity director. They have field trips, bingo, sing-a-longs, and puzzles. They have a library and a media room. They also have a comfortable visiting room to either be there with a friend or with your family. The food is good. She has special dietary needs, and they have taken care of them. She seems very happy there. "

"I've been in Leisure Vale Assisted Living for approximately 17 months now. It holds very well. I'm cared for by the staff. They have three meals a day. The food is good. My apartment has a refrigerator, a microwave and a TV. Every day, there's some type of activity. They got a lot of bingo and charades. They're always helpful like that in activities. You can walk out and enjoy the outside. There are seating and tables and rec rooms where they have televisions inside them and vending machines. For being an assisted living, it's very comforting."

"My client is in The Leven Oaks. I visited her there several times. The people are very nice. The facility is clean. The caregivers seem friendly, and the residents are neat and well taken care of. It offers all the normal things that these assisted living facilities provide. She has just moved in, and it has been very good. She has been there for three weeks now. "

"We are living in Brookdale Monrovia. The facility is good and has good rooms, good food, and good, caring, and attentive staff. We are happy and doing activities. "

"We liked the rooms at Sage Glendale. They had private rooms, and they were very spacious. All of the communities we checked out were wonderful as far as all the services they had and the staff, but we just felt like Sage had a bigger room, and that's what appealed to us. The staff was very helpful and very informative. They have a big food selection and varied menu options, and the food was very tasty."

"I highly recommend this place. The facility is exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The staff is professional, kind, and truly dedicated to caring for the residents. Their service is excellent, and it's clear they go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels at home. The meals are also well-prepared and nutritious. Overall, it's a wonderful place that offers comfort, care, and peace of mind for families."

"We choose Belmont Village Burbank because of the vitality of the people living there, the architecture, and the quality of food. My mother has a nice room. There are a lot of activities there and a lot of support 24 hours, 7 days a week. My mother had been living alone, and when I would talk to her, she never wanted the phone conversation to end. Now when I call her, she says she’d love to talk but she has exercise class or they’re having a luau or there’s entertainment downstairs with wine and cheese. Now she’s very busy and her mind is active; it’s wonderful to see. Everyone that works there treats everyone like a wonderful guest. It’s great. "

"Sakura Gardens does a fantastic job for my 92 year old Nisei mother. They serve Japanese food which she especially likes. They have daily exercise classes that gets her out of the room and areas where she can walk on her own when she feels like it. I myself love the 24 hour on duty nurse which makes me sleep better at night."

"I cannot say enough good things about Hollenbeck Palms. Although they have been in operation for 125 years, they have kept the place immaculately groomed & up to date. The staff are well trained, friendly, & helpful. Everyone there goes above & beyond to make sure everyone is healthy, happy & comfortable. With 24 hour gated security, my mom feels safe . It was important for her to know she won't have to move again. If she ever needs assisted living, or even long term medical care, they will help devise an individual plan that will best fit her needs. There is a 24 hr nursing staff that help with screenings, or friendly reminders for daily medications to constant care. A doctor is always available. What made my mom feel most special was the way they helped her design & decorate her room exactly how she wanted it. They even had carpet & tile & paint samples to choose from. She wanted the ability to cook for herself sometimes, so they actually ordered & installed an entire kitchenette in her space. Living here has been like being in an oasis right in the middle of the city. She enjoys the day trips as well as fitness classes, movie night & many new friends. She wanted to keep her car, but has come to enjoy the weekly shopping trips on the Hollenbeck van. They even go to her favorite stores She has tried things she never imagined! We could not have imagined the new life she has found here. From everyone I've met, the experience has been better than expected. A bit expensive. But the peace of mind is well worth any sacrifice we made. "

"The people were hospitable. They were nice, they showed me around, and it’s clean. The building looks like a hotel. The residents furnished their apartments; they showed me one furnished very nicely. They showed me the restaurant -- it had a nice setting, and they had a small backyard. They need to improve on the parking space; it was small. "

"My father is in memory care at Hollywood Hills, and he has been there for two weeks now. Everybody is friendly, and it's clean. I don't really have any complaints. His room is clean, large, and spacious. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The building is very nice and clean. So far, I'm pretty satisfied with it. However, it's really expensive."

"My mother-in-law is at Evergreen Retirement Residence. The place is orderly, and the people that work there seemed to care. The area of the city is very nice with nice business, and I think that is a nice part. She happens to have one of the larger rooms so it is nice, and she has a balcony where they could overlook the street. Out of her room, she has a very of the Sand Gate Mountains which is very nice. They can also go on the street and sit on the sidewalk. They seemed to have some nice little outings, and they also seem to have active social calendar. They have bingo and games. The one thing that she told me is that the food is not very good. "

"I just moved at Belmont Village last October. I chose this facility because it was the nicest when I visited. The staff seemed pleasant. The location is convenient; it was like 3 blocks from where my son was. This place is spotless. The fee includes three meals a day and snacks in the afternoon. I've visited many places and with regards to the food, it’s the best one I've come across. Their one bedroom apartment is very small. The only complaint I have and I have told them this the population is heavily weighted in the 80s and 90s and several in their 100s which is all very nice, but I want also some people in their 70s because I think we have a generation gap.
