"I had the pleasure of visiting Palo Alto Commons last week with my mother, and we left extremely impressed with the community there. The physical amenities are excellent, and a new building will be coming online in the next 18 months that will have a lap pool, which will be a wonderful addition to the existing facility. The rooms are large and sunny, and virtually all of them have either balconies or porches; additionally, there are numerous areas throughout the community to sit and relax in a casual atmosphere. We stayed for lunch and the food was top notch, with a wide variety from which to choose. Every staff member with whom we met was positive, pleasant and genuinely interested in us and in helping in any way possible. Many of the staff have been with Palo Alto Commons for over ten years, and the turnover of the front line staff is very low. Behind the building is a very pleasant residential neighborhood perfect for a stroll, and in front of the facility are numerous restaurants and small shops for coffee, etc. The assisted living support ranges from independent living to elite care with nurses available around the clock. The staff also is extremely focused on feedback from its residents, and does an excellent job at listening to and acting on input with a formal closed loop process. In summary, we were both exceptionally pleased and my mother is very interested in relocating to The Commons. "

"We went to Sunrise of Sunnyvale. We saw the whole place. We saw everything. It was outstanding. It was really the person that was presenting. She was not a person of that area. She works there, but she goes to a number of other places; however, she was just so helpful and wonderful. She doesn't exclusively work there, and she said she was going to be in Utah today. She seemed to be a regional person. The community was wonderful. The dining area was very pleasing. The outdoor spaces were very pleasant and very well groomed. I liked the location and the diversity of the people. The staff seemed on task, and they had a lot of wonderful activities."

"My mom moved into Atria Sunnyvale. It's been excellent and surpassed any expectations I had in the beginning. They have a bridge club, a card club, bible studies, exercises, and bingo. They're constantly checking on her, and making sure that everything is safe and active. They serve three meals a day and the food is excellent. My mom is picky, but she hasn't had any complaints. Everybody has treated my mom like gold. We couldnt ask for a nicer staff. The price is reasonable and competitive."

"The Parkview RCH#2 is very nice, and the people are very nice. It's assisted living, and my wife moved there. She is currently out again because she's hospitalized. They provide activities like taking them out a little bit. Most of the elderlies are in wheelchairs, so they put them out in the backyard and do some light exercise or things like that. They make them comfortable. The residents get 3 meals a day. If they have a favorite food, they can ask for their favorite food."

Everything was included. I think the visit was really a great time, really enjoyed it. "

"It is a new facility. It's only been open for a month. So far, we've found the staff to be very professional and enthusiastic. They're working hard to figure it out, especially that my aunt is in their memory care center, behavioral issues which she certainly has. They communicate it as best as they can, figure it out, and talk it out with us. They communicate well with us about that. It's a beautiful, beautiful facility. It's brand new. What's nice about that is not just that it's brand new, but that they built it with assisted living and memory care in mind. The common rooms are large, ample, and nicely appointed. There are lots of different rooms for different activities. It doesn't feel as cramped and small as some of the other places we saw (which were nice) that were renovated from some other kind of building. This place has been built with a purpose in mind, and they did a beautiful job with it so spaces are good and rooms are nice. They have activities, but because it's new and my aunt's still trying to get used to it, she hasn't taken part in too many yet. I know that they have many. They have lots of things around in their memory care for textures and activities. They could sit at a table and do or feel like an enrichment activity. I'm not quite sure what the technical term is. I know that when she gets a little more comfortable there and is able to take part in more things, there's going to be plenty of things that she can do (both with groups and on her own). She just moved in 3 weeks ago, so we're still trying to get into transition. I have not had a full meal there, but the food looks good and the menu looks good. My aunt is happy with the food. She's a vegetarian, so it was important that they pay attention to that and they have been doing it. I haven't heard her complain at all about the food. Many of the staff are sort of young and figuring out their way. They're doing a good job with it. I know that they'll be fine in the future, but they still have some things to learn. They know that though, and they're working on it."

"We are in the process of moving my dad here. What he liked best was the courtyard and just the ability to be not just inside the building, but the feeling that he had someplace to go outside to enjoy nature. It didn't feel like living in an apartment in the city or whatever. The staff who gave the tour was very energetic and very nice. We saw several rooms there. They're very spacious. Some had larger balconies, and some had smaller balconies. He ate lunch there and he said it was good. I was there, but I had to do some work while he was eating lunch with some of the residents and with the tour person. The dining area looked very pleasant, very nice, and very airy. In terms of activities, we saw that water aerobics was being done. There was also bingo, movies, and different things. There's a variety of things that would interest him."

"My aunt has moved into Villa Fontana Retirement Community. She's in assisted living. It seems to be nice. We were referred to it by a senior advocate and they've been very accommodating. I know that it's a pandemic so they don't have all of the activities that she wants to do but it's all gradually opening. They have a big variety of rooms. We moved her into a studio first and she didn't like the studio. They had a 1-bedroom available and everything worked out fine. They were always cooperative and available. They have a library that looked nice but a lot of the amenities were closed down because of the pandemic. They are supposed to have an ice cream bar and they're supposed to have different things but they were all closed. For the pricing, they give you a price and if you need something else, they'll add that one on. If you need something else again, they add that one again. I think it's a little deceptive but I guess they all do that. I don't know because I'm new at this."
