Assisted Living Communities in Duarte, CA

"I like Clearwater at Glendora. It's awesome, and the people that work there are super awesome. It's immaculate, organized, and welcoming. The staff is awesome. It's very crisp, very sunny, bright and happy. They showed me everything. They showed me where they eat, and they showed me the various rooms that they have. Everything looks very new. Everything is clean and fresh and not stuffy at all. It's not a small area that tries to squeeze a lot of people in. It's a big area. The apartments were very spacious compared to the other ones that I saw."

"This community has so much to offer. When visiting my great aunt here, I could see her overall health improved so much after moving her in. It was like she wanted to be social and move around again! Before she would just sit around her house and stare at the Tv barely eating. Even though she was still capable of doing things on her own, she didn't. Once at Solheim she started making friends and going to all their wonderfully planned activities and was excited about it all. She loved the staff (so do we!) and her room was always so clean! She was living her life again and it made our family so happy to see! Another great thing was that we didn't have to worry about her driving anywhere bc Solheim offers local rides! They even have a chapel! We were definitely worried at first about moving her so quickly and it being such a big change, but it was the best decision we could have made and everyone was so happy! "

"The staff is amazing. Everything they do has a specific reason that benefits my mom in the memory care. It's a brand new facility. When you walk in, they make you feel like a family. My mom just went in last Thursday, and it's been an amazing experience so far. They treat them with respect and dignity, and I really like that. They have a nice dining room, activity rooms, and indoor/outdoor activities. There are things going on all the time that engage them. It's wonderful. They only stay in their room pretty much just to sleep. They have executive chefs, and the food is absolutely amazing. We ate two meals with mom. My daughter went to an open house that they had, and she tasted food from around the world. 90% of the food that they do is fresh, and it is as good as any restaurant I've ever been to."

"Their parking was an issue at Brookdale Uptown Whittier as we didn’t find a parking lot, but there was street parking. They were close to shopping and all of the stuff to do outside of the facility, but we weren't interested in that. Their dining rooms were set up differently, and they didn’t seem to have as many people that required assistance. Their rooms are nice and big, and the one room that they did show us has a small kitchenette with a refrigerator. The gentleman that was in charge was very polite and gave us information. "

"Glen Park at Glendale was OK. My friend kind of like it except that it had a Hollywood theme, and I think he may have felt a little bit intimidated. All of their hallways had pictures of Hollywood artists, and he said he felt like after a while, he'd grow tired of seeing those pictures. The rooms were fairly nice but a little bit small, and it was a kitchenette and bedroom altogether. It had quite a few spaces where you could go outside to just sit and look around. It was pretty nice, but it just wasn't his cup of tea. They have an activity room and a couple of little spots here and there throughout where people could sit and chitchat. The staff and the director who assisted us were very friendly and nice. Everything was easy to get to. "

"West Park Senior Living was nice. It's in a residential area and I thought it was very pretty. The grounds were pretty, and the people were really nice. It's very scenic. They had areas where there were lots of windows and outdoor space that was pretty, and lots of trees. They had some kind of common room on every floor; they differed and everybody was welcome to all of them. One floor would have a library and another floor would have a gym. They didn't have washer and dryer in the room, but each floor had its own laundry room. The rooms were nice. It seemed like a nice community and it was quiet. I looked at a studio and it didn't have a kitchenette or washer and dryer, but you could have a mini fridge and a microwave, and the bathroom was nicely arranged for an elderly person. They had transportation services on certain days, like doctor appointments. The staff was nice. They were doing some work on the dining room area, so I didn't get a chance to see that."

"Brookdale Central Whittier has the ability to provide my mom with personal care, hygiene showering, and medication oversight. The two people that I met, including the person who was like the director of operations, were well-informed and educated. I would feel comfortable with them and their professional standards having my mother at their facility. The place was clean. I didn't see any evidence of deferred maintenance. The paint looked fresh. The carpets looked clean, and everything looked neat and orderly to me. The elevator looked convenient, even if you're in a wheelchair because the panel is in a position that would be easy to reach. The facility's layout was a courtyard perimeter style, so that it would be impossible to get lost. If you're walking around the hallway, you'd eventually come back to the entryway. There would be somebody always onstaff to make certain that you weren't confused. They would be able to get back to your own room, dining room, or their entertainment room. Their central courtyard is available to the residents. All the hallways circle back to the main entryway, where there was always somebody present to make certain that the residents didn't go unnoticed."

"Such a beautiful community with amazing staff and caring caregivers. "

"I live here in Leisure Vale Assisted Living. I like everything about the facility because they give care for the people, they love the people and I also like the activities director because she's the one that gives me influence and I help her out whatever she needs me to help her out with. I also like all the med techs, but Rosie is the one I like the most. She's very caring and loving and loves to help people. My apartment is a big two-room facility, and it's well managed. They keep it clean. They also make sure that all the bathrooms are clean, shower curtains are clean and all the showers are clean. They have walks around the facility. They provide puzzle games, karaoke, movie night, singing and just normal things. They just had Elvis come over yesterday. They've got a variety of books here. They've got two different activity rooms that they use. They can bring their family and guests in that little area, and they can have their birthday party. We have an art class where we're physically drawing pictures and painting them. It's a safe facility. We have guards at night when the residents are in bed. They come and check up on the rooms to make sure the doors are closed and locked. We have a caring facility. Everybody has love and care and they meet the needs of people. They help them out in whatever areas they need to be helped out. I have no problems with them. They're just perfect for me. The food is good. They're doing ongoing modifications. They're trying to make it look better than what it was originally. They're remodeling rooms and stuff like that."

"Oakmont of Whittier was nice. I don’t think we had any real complaints about it except that it would be about 2½ times more than what my mother-in-law is paying right now. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. We saw a couple of rooms that were nice. They didn’t have that much full-time care, so it’s not as assisted as she needs. "

"Sparr Heights Estates Senior Living is going through some remodel phase, but it was nice just the way it is right now. The rooms were nice. We walked around the facility and I was shown Jack and Jill rooms, grandma rooms and grandpa rooms, and the styles. It's a nice facility. I met the nurse that's in charge there and I spoke with some of the assisted living staff. There are two different sections. They have the memory area as well, and I met their staff, too, and they were nice. They were setting up one of the rooms for a birthday celebration. In the assisted area, they were having lunch, and it looked like they were enjoying their lunch. They made cupcakes for them and the staff gave me some cupcakes, which are very tasty, very nice, and decorative. They gave you the option of the different parts of the facility for assisted living or mental healthcare. They have to be evaluated whether or not they'll be on either side. There were two separate sections at that facility. If both of my parents were to go there and one had to be in the assisted living part, then one would live on one side and one on the other. With the capacity that my father's at, I think they could stay together. They would evaluate that, but they do have that option. They talked about still having them come together and working with both of them at the same time. They had a lot of activities there for them, bingo, puzzles, and books. It's a large facility. It was nice and the rooms were nice, also. It's a beautiful facility."

"On the occasions I have visited Sakura Gardens, I have found the facility to be impeccably clean and was impressed by the friendly and caring staff. Most importantly is that my aunt is always smiling and cheerful, a good sign of the care she is receiving. Shin, in particular, is always helpful and makes sure our questions are answered."

"Glenterra was beautiful and exactly what I would like. The apartments were gorgeous, very modern, very well-kept, up to date, and very clean. Everybody was friendly. The dining room looked really nice, and the food coming out of the dining room looked nice. However, they don't take Medicare/Medicaid. "
