"I visited Paradise Villa. It was a smaller place, which I thought my dad would have liked. I had kind of a neutral feeling about it. When I walked in, there were people sitting around. The staff was excellent. The gal that I met with was fabulous, and I really liked her. The rooms were spacious and nice. They had a new section that they were remodeling, which was really nice. "

"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."

"My friend is at Queen of Angels II RCFE. There are five residents currently, but the maximum number of residents is six. Three ladies live in the home, so there are at least two caregivers around the clock. The owner comes in every other day and checks on them. I am extremely happy with them. They cater to her dietary likes and needs, they're very efficient with her medications, and they are giving her wonderful care. Her legs look better than they have ever looked. She has improved rapidly under their care. There are individual rooms and a shared room. Their activities are more geared toward their individual needs. She likes to go out into the yard and garden and they're doing that for her. She likes succulents, so they have a variety of succulents in her room and outside on the patio for her."

"The assisted living provider is good. I think the employees are friendly for the most part. There are a couple employees that are a little self-centered, but other than that everyone is very efficient. My grandfather gets fed well and there are a lot of activities that he can do. One issue is that he doesn't speak English which they somewhat cater to, but it does make things more difficult. The facility is very good and relatively high-class, but is also pretty expensive. "

"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. "

"I retired early in the 1960 and chose with my wife to seek the adventures and lifestyle we never had had time for. Because we were young we wanted to find a home that provided us a physically active life and chose for the best times of our lives a large Country Club Retirement Community in Palm Desert. 2 golf courses, 16 tennis cours, 23 swimming pools, large fitness center and activities rooms, two dining rooms, both a formal and casual environment, truthfully the greatest times of our young lives. And if we weren't hunkered down at our Club we travelled extensively. But as we grew older we found the desert heat a bit too much to take and decided to seek a location on which we often summered...that in Carmel. Used to community living we were attracted to the Active Residential Community known as Del Mesa. And we moved to another experience we alos thoroughly enjoyed and probaby would never have moved had I not had a heart attack. And seeking a community that provided both an active life but also a life care program that would assured both of us for the remainder of our lives and still kept us in the Carmel Area we moved to the Carmel Valley Manor. While all the preceding moves were most acceptable the move to the Manor has been the best of them all. We have enjoyed the wonderful cultural, educational, recreational and social life anyone could imagine. The activities here are certainly not at the physical level we enjoyed during the earlier years of our lives, but perfect here for our aging years. Looking back both my wife and I can truthfully boast that we think we've planned the best and most fulfilling years for our retirement. Funny, we don't think we're through yet...that's the spirit that living on the Manor campus does for you. "

"My brother is currently in Merrill Gardens at Monterey. I have found them to be very responsive. It's a very uplifting atmosphere. They have lots of activities. The facility has amazingly 12-hour restaurant-style dining. So, they can go downstairs anywhere between 7 in the morning and 7 at night and eat. I've never had a bad meal, it's very good. They have happy hour on Thursdays where they have live music and entertainment, and they have a large activity room and a big screen TV where they watch movies twice a day. They have an exercise room with guided exercises for seniors. They go on excursions. They got a bus where they can take 15 or 20 people and they go to plays and they go to the grocery stores and out to eat lunch. It's just a very involved, beautiful complex. They've got five levels of care, which takes them from totally independent living right up to memory care - dementia and Alzheimer's. And so, you don't have to move. I was there for Thanksgiving dinner and that seriously was the best turkey I've ever had in my life. They do a wonderful, wonderful job. It's a new facility, it's like four or five years old. "

"We visited here a few days ago. My first impression was very good. I liked it and the style. We looked at the unit and liked it very much. It had everything and was equipped with the necessities for comfortable living. It was very interesting. "

"My dad moved into assisted living at Canterbury Woods - Pacific Grove. It looks very nice. He knows several people who currently live there and he's able to work out a deal where his current home health aide can continue to be his aide there. The dining staff and director were very helpful and nice to work with. The food looks fine. There seemed to be quite a few activities, like lectures and discussion groups. My dad has struggled a couple of times recovering from pneumonia and they have on-site skilled nursing so he can move from his apartment into that long enough to recover and back to his apartment without going into a different facility. They have a large facility where they do exercises and lectures."
