Assisted Living Communities in Monterey, CA

"My mom has moved into Vista Harden Ranch. All of the staff members are very friendly, not only with the visitors but also with the patients. You can see how they act with them. They're just awesome. I think my mom's room is great. It's a single room with a private bath and a balcony that's shared with a couple of other people out there. It's very comfortable. It has a kitchenette. The common dining area is very nice and very clean. It has a very friendly atmosphere, more like a restaurant-style setting. They have a daily regular menu, but if somebody asked for something different, if they have it, they'll serve it. I think my mom has gained weight. We had a Christmas celebration meal; it was very good. The grounds, they're beautiful and they have a lot of open spaces where people can go walk. My mom doesn't go outside alone because she's she gets too confused to go outside alone, but she can go out on her balcony and walk around there. There are flowers and things out there. They have different activities. They have a yoga class and a stretching class. They also make jewelry and all kinds of stuff. They have a piano, and she plays it; she loves it. She plays almost every day after she eats. My mom has assisted living plus. I don't know what they call it, that she has some kind of care where they come by and help her with the shower and those kinds of things. They're very helpful and responsive to every need. She has one of those call button things that she wears. If anything happens, they call me immediately. She's just doing great, and I love it. The only activity that I've observed was the chair exercise. They did a great job, and they were very encouraging to the patients. When I walked by there they were doing other things, everybody seems like they were having a good time. All of the patients that are in there are very friendly also, they always say hello to me and all of that."

"I toured Twin Lakes Manor. It was just a small place, and I liked it. It was very clean. The residents looked cared for and content. The person who gave me the tour was very friendly and gave me a thorough tour. I liked the grounds. There's a great big back patio that's all enclosed, so it's very secure. Overall, I had a good impression. The staff would just smile as I walked by. I didn't see organized activities at the time, but I saw a woman getting her nails done. They don't have a bus taking people out to places. I believe it's licensed for 12, but they only had about 6 residents at the time. So, it's very quiet. It's just more of a residential house, but it's a quiet neighborhood on a dead-end street. So, it's secluded and safe."

"This is one of the best facilities! We moved our dad in here and his health and overall happiness has improved tremendously!! They always seem to have some sort of activity going on & Dad has taken a liking to being involved in those! Thank you to the staff for all you do! "

"Ave Maria (St Francis Care Center) was recommended by several people. My mom has been a devout Catholic all her life and the fact that they have a chapel there and a mass everyday and that was very important, that is why we chose this place for her. She moved there on February 28th.This facility seemed like a very good fit for my mom. I have her in a small private room where she has a nice view looking out the window. Her room is nice. I found the staff to be very caring. They have an excellent activities director. She has a lot of love and care for the people there. At Ave Maria, they have the equipment to get my mom into a wheelchair. Also mom is participating with other residents there in activities and things. She just seems to be much happier and doing much better. She doesn't have any problem with the food. "

"Merrill Gardens are having problems with being short staffed, but that's probably everywhere. The people here are very nice. The rooms are not very big, but they're adequate. They have cleaning service, and that's very good. It's very friendly. The food is adequate it, but it has more salt than I like. The activities are very good. They are working very hard at keeping all the activities. We have a new person, so she's finding out what everybody likes and trying to work with them. They have a salon. I don't use it, but they have one. It's a good-looking facility. They have three meals."

"Carmelo Park is pretty large, and they have a lot of clients. It seemed nice, and they gave me an excellent tour. The person there was very accommodating and gave me a very good tour. It's a good location and inside was very good, and they have a little area outside for people to sit. They have a large deck on one side of the facility so people can sit out there, so it's a nice place. They have a salon where the ladies can get their hair done, and I think they have an exercise room. They had a big room where people can watch TV. They had a nice dining area, and I met the chef. It's very impressive. "

"I went to the facility. I have eaten there more than four times. The plus is that you can walk downtown Pacific Grove in a few minutes. That's wonderful. They have for people who have independent living, they have apartments, their whole wall is glass with an ocean view. It was beautiful, it was astonishing. They have singers and people to entertain them over there. They take people to the swimming pool and the sports centers, I guess in a van. The facility is very beautiful. The apartments are astonishing, beautiful, and some of the apartments have ocean views. They have a library. The staff is wonderful. Twice or three times a year, they invite people who are interested. You spend the afternoon eating and socializing, and they talk about the facility. They are very friendly and accommodating."

"Canterbury Woods would not be for me because everything was too close. It used to be a beautiful mansion, and they tore it down. Their chalets which would interest me were right by the street, so you have the noise of the street. I would not ever go there even though the food was good and the service was nice. They kept building and building. The staff was very nice. I was invited to lunch and the chef was there in person and our group was served excellently with excellent food. The facility was not open and not inviting to me, but it was clean. It's a little tight and a little on the dark side."

" The physical set-up of Flanders Court is simultaneously gracious, secure, and homey. The handsome garden and patio are integrated into the living area. Internally, residents have access to abundant natural light, eclectic tasteful furnishings, and bedrooms are personalized with a resident's own possessions. All of this helps support a sense of identity and orientation. I speak as a retired R.N. For all the positives mentioned above, the real treasure of Flanders Court as a resource for residents and those who love them is its care-giving staff. They were kind and helpful with me, drew my loved one out as an individual with a history and identity, and provided enrichments like scenic drives and conversation. I observed a wide range of physical and mental capability and needs accompanied by a wide range of support and independence available to residents. That speaks well for individualized care. The compassion and quality care I observed remain with me to this day. I am grateful for Flanders Court and appreciate this opportunity to share my experience. "
