Assisted Living Communities in Banning, CA

"My wife and I took a tour of The Village Healthcare Center. It seemed like a really good facility. We would love to have taken my mother-in-law there. I think it would've been a good fit. If I was older and sick, I would go there personally. The facility was like a 5-star hotel. The nursing staff ratio was one nurse for two people."

"I toured Cottages at Hemet. It is very nice, and if I can get my father to come out this far, there is a possibility that I would like to put him there. The place is beautiful, and the staff all seem very nice. The rooms that they have, even the studio apartments, are spacious. Outside is like a park. The facility is well taken care of. Where they need to do upkeep, it was put aside so the residents couldn't quite get there, so it didn't affect the residents."

"We are going with Buena Vista Assisted Living. My mother-in-law hasn't moved in yet, but it's more intimate because it's a little bit smaller of a facility. It seems very much like more of a home. Everyone that I met that worked there was very nice and friendly, and everyone seemed very helpful. The rooms were sort of like a studio. It's like a bedroom- living room kind of all in one, and then the bathroom. Each one has its own, so there's no shared rooms. Every time I've been in there, everything seems really nice. The dining area seems very nice. It's like a large home kitchen kind of dining area, where everybody comes together and sits. They have a little beauty salon. They have classes, but I don't know much about them yet."

"My dad will be moving into Manzanita Village at Rancho Belago's memory care. We just wanted him in a facility with lots of care, and it's a beautiful facility. During our tour, they were informative. We walked through the facility, and it was clean everywhere. The residents were dressed and looked clean, too. They have plenty of staff and I think they had an on-site nurse. They also seemed friendly."

"We visited Mission Commons in Redlands. I like the grounds and the way it looks. The level of care was different, too, and we liked that. It seemed like it was more independent living, and then we could bring in our own people. It's more expensive to do that, but they had more options. They are in the process of updating the place. I'm not sure if it's changed since we were there, but they were not licensed for assisted living so they had separate apartments that the residents could rent and would include the meals, but they would provide their own care. For instance, if my father needed dementia care, he could hire somebody to come in and do that."

"I toured Chardonnay Hills Care Home. It's a house with wide aisles, which was great for wheelchairs. The kitchen and the living room were spacious. The floors were wood, so there weren't any smells."

"My mother moved to Brightwater Senior Living of Highland's memory care unit. I remember seeing this one woman come out and, even being wheeled out of one of the bedrooms, she had a full face of makeup, her hair was done, and she was dressed nicely. They were smiling and laughing, too. I just love the friendliness of the place. It seemed like they just knew and genuinely cared about the individuals, even the non-verbal ones and those making a mess or soiling themselves. No one had a bad attitude and nobody acted like they didn't want to do their job. They were all there with a smile on their faces and the patients looked happy and cared for. Any question I had for them, they answered it immediately and if they didn't have the answer, they found it out. The food is nice. The only thing about it that I did notice is it's not seasoned, but I know that they probably can't put salt on a lot of the patient's food. There are two separate eating areas for memory care and assisted or senior living people. The senior living looks like a hotel, it's beautiful. My mom says memory care's eating area is like a cafeteria. I've tried to feed my mom and she's not thrilled with the food. They had a petting zoo. They brought in a bunch of animals so the residents could see the animals they had. They play bingo every day. They try to keep them active. They don't want the patients in their room all the time so they are constantly doing something. They have a movie theater there. I'll take my mom to the movie theater and see a movie during my visits. They've got a lot of activities. You just have to go to them. The lady who runs the memory care is outstanding. She answers every question and goes above and beyond. She even comes in on her days off to just follow up. She works very hard, and I'm thrilled with her. Everybody there is outstanding. I haven't found one individual that pissed me off. My mom has fallen twice since she's been there and there was never a thought in my mind that it was because no one was caring for her. It's just a good place and the best one that I found. It is expensive, but it's worth every penny. I think the care that you're receiving is far beyond the money you're spending."

"I visited Pico De Loro. Everything was very nice. I had a lot of resources but the cost was too much. They showed everything, the rooms, the bedding, and the dining areas. I sampled the meal and the food was good. The facility was great. It's very clean. They had very nice and good quality programs for them. The staff was helpful and easygoing."

"My in-laws are in Brookdale Loma Linda. They have been very attentive to their needs. They like the food very much. Their living quarters are in a two-bedroom assisted living, which is not a very common thing in assisted living, I've discovered. I'm very thankful for the fact that they do have that option. They have been proactive with their healthcare. They have been working with them to get set up well with having changed facilities and such. It seems to be working very, very well for them. I'm very thankful for that. Everybody was very positive and very intentional in their interactions with people who are living there, and they're helpful. I didn't meet anybody who wasn't very caring. It is very clean. When they moved in, it was in very good order. It was neat, and everything was in good shape. It was very inviting and very welcoming. Compared to where they were before, I feel they weren't getting nearly as much value for almost twice as much money."

"My Brother was a resident at Hillsong for over a year until he passed away. Hillsong works with any Hospice service the family chooses. Owner and staff were knowledgeable, caring, sensitive and accommodating to his needs; very communicative with family members and always available. Environment is safe, clean and quiet. Residents and family are treated respectfully. I highly recommend this care facility. "

"I went to Sun City Gardens. They all seemed very friendly and happy. The individual who gave the tour was walking around talking to everybody. It was apparent that they were very close. He was very nice and very friendly. It was very clean and very well designed. They had nice gardens. The room size was good. It wasn't too small and it had a nice open layout where wheelchairs would have been able to fit and go in and out of the room."

"Westmont of Riverside is a beautiful community surrounded by 55-plus housing, so it's a very normal neighborhood-like environment that you drive through to get to their facility. It had a nice little fountain in the front, lots of parking, and it was beautiful and quite lovely. We were late, we called them first, and they were very gracious about it. The lady who helped us was very professional. She was a little off-putting at first, but I think that's because we were so late and we were probably interrupting her schedule, but she got over it quickly enough. She was very pleasant and certainly knew what she was talking about. They had a lot of things for people to do. They have a lovely library that is huge. We also went by what she called an art room. It was dark, no one was in there at the time, so I don't know exactly what they had in there, but she said that is where they have painting and stuff. They also had a sort of thing like when you're in old high school and there are recesses in the wall with glass where awards go. They had those types of things, and they had celebratory seasonal things displayed there. It stands out because nobody else did it. They had what looked like a giant activities room where they played Bingo. She said they also had various things that went on there at that particular time; they were doing bingo. One standout thing there, and I can only give the very basics of it, is that they had an on-site doctor. You don't have to use the doctor, but in probably all the old people's cases, they're all going to have doctors, and if you move a distance, which my sister would be, she's going to have to find another doctor within her group. While she's looking for a doctor, they have an on-site doctor, so she could sign up with them. It doesn't have to, though; they were clear about that. Most of the things that these old people are going to have going wrong with them are colds and flu, and they need shots and basic stuff that a GP is efficient for. It's really convenient to be able to book a doctor right there on-site. You can also get your pharmacy needs there, which is also nice. You don't have to, it's clear, but you could. They also had transport there, where if your doctor was off-site and you booked an appointment, you could book transport with them to get to the appointment."
