"The Mary's Manor house seemed OK, but the price was a little off from what they had listed, so I was taken back a little by that. I had a full viewing of the property and saw the rooms that were becoming available. I also saw the structured menu that they had, and all of that seemed fine. I made a decision based on the fact that there's only a few residents there, and I didn't think my mom would fit in with a small group. It was a residential property"

"I liked the openness, the light that came in from the hallway, and the pictures on the walls at Brookdale Freemont. It was bright and very friendly. The staff was good and very nice. The food wasn’t great but good. Everything was pretty nice, except they have a problem with the rooms: they’re not really that easy to access by wheelchair. The square footage was more the size of a hotel room. For two people, my wife and myself, one bathroom and a small bedroom is going be hard to be really accommodating. "

"I toured Bellara Senior Living. It was nice, very fancy. An experience that you want for anyone senior and transitioning into their later years. They have on-call nurses, and they have everything that you need there, you don't have to go out and get it, very much assisted. Everything is there all at once. You don't have to go anywhere. The staff was nice. They were very welcoming. They just wanted to get to know me and my family and make sure that if we were choosing that place, it would be the right place for us. It's a very new building. They had a bar. They had a bunch of seating areas. They had fancy bathrooms. They had a workout area. They had a whole courtyard where you could sit and talk and grill food. They had a beautiful kitchen that was restaurant-style."

"I chose Landmark Villa for my brother because I liked the people there. Caroline who does the admissions was really nice, helpful, and caring, as well as Diane the director. It's really clean, bright, spacious, and if I had to be in assisted living, I would live there. My brother has no complaints about the food, and they always have something going on when I go there. They have been consistent with the level of care and support."

"I toured Ivy Park at Pleasanton. Nicole, the person that I saw, was extremely helpful. It's a beautiful facility. Everything's just wonderful. I felt very special going there and being treated very respectfully and everything. So, I would say that whoever can afford to go to Ivy Park at Pleasanton should check that place out. They showed me everything. They showed me the studios. They showed me the joint units that took me to the memory care unit. They took me every which way. They have wonderful dining rooms, first notch. The people that were in there decorated their tables. They've got a lot of amenities. Every Thursday night they have music that they play, and people can go. They just have everything that you could want."

"I toured Welcome Home Senior Residence - Pleasanton. It's clean and neat, and it smelled good. The person who gave the tour was nice, they were friendly and open to showing the guest rooms or client rooms. I spoke to a guest there, she was very happy with the staff, and she liked the facility. She thought they were good-humored and she's enjoying her stay there, that's what she told me. It seemed nice, but they didn't have any openings at the time. And that was just an impromptu visit, they were not expecting me, and they're satisfactory."

"I want to leave a review for the activities director named Obed N. He was very helpful when i was there. He took the time to show me around and even explained the activities to me in such a detailed way. I love to see that The Parkview has this person as an activity director which shows that they hire people who care and people who are correct for their role. after the talking that we did when i asked how long he had worked there it he had mentioned he was fairly new. which i was impressed ! The information he had given me about the place had made it seem like he had been there for years! Please give it up to him he did a really great job answering questions and simply being very welcoming and giving me such detailed answers. I feel good knowing that i have friends at the facility with a gentleman like Obed around."

"Heart & Soul looked more like a home than a hospital, and made it easier to transition my grandmother there. The prices were very reasonable, the other patients that were there were similar in culture to my grandmother, and so it worked out. She is in a shared room, which is spacious and lovely. The private rooms were beautiful, but cost too much. The person that runs the program is amazing, the staff is amazing and take really good care of her. They have a garden, and people come in to do the residents’ hair and nails. I did see the food, it definitely was what I’m used to eating. My grandmother’s complaint was it wasn’t hot enough for her, so they have to reheat it. "

"Emerald Valley is a beautiful facility. Mom lives there and the people are very helpful and very accommodating. The food is very good. They have a very good activity director and she has a very good list of activities that they have an opportunity to do on a daily basis. They have a calendar that is posted everywhere, noting those activities and times, and I am impressed. They also have live entertainment and they provide transportation to anywhere my mom would need to go to for appointments. The place is very clean. Their food is restaurant style, where residents are treated with a lot of dignity. They have waiters that will come to them and show them a menu. They also have a bistro which allows them fresh fruit and drinks any time."

"I toured Welcome Home Senior Residences-Dublin for my mother. It seemed like they only have a handful of residents like four or six, so, it seems like they kind of do whatever the individual needs. It wasn't a group approach. The house was clean and cozy. I felt like there was a little bit of a trip hazard between the flooring, but it was very small and my mom's pretty stable. There was a little bit of a funny smell in there, too. But they also said they just had the couch cushions cleaned and we had our masks on. So, I don't know if it was just the cleaning solution. The person that gave us the tour doesn't stay there, but she was very good and knowledgeable. The two staff people that were there were quiet, but they seemed efficient, and they seemed present. We only saw one resident and I don't know if the others were just in their room. It doesn't seem like there was much activity going on like in a group home where they can plan for all the residents. If you want a quiet, calm, and just homey atmosphere, I think it was very nice. I might put my mom in more of a group setting because I think she needs more interaction and more inclusion and activity that would be planned. The dining area was just like the kitchen of a home. There was one big table which looked beautiful."
