Assisted Living Communities in San Gabriel, CA

"Solheim Lutheran Home was nice, but it had a buy-in, and I couldn't afford it. My friends recommended it. They had activities and different levels of care. If the person gets really bad and had to be hospitalized, they had that there. It's all inclusive. The room was very small and you had to bring in your own furniture. They were redoing the bathrooms. They had step-in showers and I was really concerned about my mom having to step over a tub or step into a shower. It was a very old facility, but I liked the carpeting on the floor. The staff was very nice. I wasn't impressed with the dining area because it didn't have tablecloths or flowers on the table."

"Sakura Gardens' rooms were nice, and the place was very clean. They had music activities, movies, calligraphy, and cultural activities. The staff was good."

"Hollenbeck Palms was nice. The one who took us around, she was very nice, helpful, and informative. The rooms there were nice and clean. They had a therapy room, like a mini gymnasium, they had a chapel, and they also had a room like a library kind of thing where they can do handicrafts or just sit there and read a book. "

"Leisure Vale was OK. It had a lot of spots to go outside to just enjoy being outside, but the rooms were kind of small. They had a big living room area with a big screen TV. The dining area seemed pretty nice, and they had a nice pool table, but my friend is not into playing pool. They also had a reading area and a magnifying machine where you could put the newspaper and read it. The people were nice, and there wasn't anybody who was rude. "

"Emeritus was a really nice place but kind of expensive. It was clean and it seemed like Beverly Hills. It looked so neat and it did have everything. There was even a place where they wash your clothes right there in the facility. It was self-sufficient and that's what I like. It was a little more expensive than the other facility but it was self-sufficient. The staff was also very helpful. "

"The one I really like is Glen Terra. It was really very nice, and the food was excellent. The chef even came out to meet me. I really like Glen Terra because it’s in the neighborhood where I already live. They call it independent living, but they provide 3 meals a day, house cleaning, linens, and so on. I know they provide some transportation, and as far as the activities they have, I saw a game room. Most of the people there looked rather feeble compared to me. She said they were my age group, but physically, I’m not my chronological age, so I hang out with younger people mostly. The only thing I didn’t like was they didn’t have a large courtyard where you could sit outside. They had some benches on the front porch right next to the parking lot. The closet space wasn’t great in the one-bedroom thing. I need closet space, but they have built-in drawers. They had the proper kinds of showers and things like that. It was all handicapped accessible. "

"I toured Delightful Aging. It was very clean and open. Parking is the problem there but other than that, it was very clean. They had two nice ladies working there, and they're very friendly, so I didn't see any issues. There is a ramp going into the facility, and it's very open, so they could walk around. There's minimal furniture and it's not cluttered."

"I went to look at Brookdale Central Whittier. I was impressed with the facility. It was pleasant and clean. It seemed like they had friendly staff. The rooms were nicely kept. They seemed to have a lot of activities for the individuals that were housed there. I liked it. The cost was a little high. It was nicely furnished. The structure was very nice and well-kept. The grooming outside was well done. It looked beautiful, nice, and spacious. They had back lobby places. The staff was very informative, helpful, and pleasant."

"La Posada was OK. It wasn't our top priority, but it was good. They remodeled the place. It looks like a hotel, but it's a little less nice than the other place. The facility was OK. It was presentable and everything. The prices were good, but it wasn't what I was hoping to see. It was not a bad place, and it was actually my second option. The lady was very nice and very helpful. She answered all my questions. She was great. The common area was OK, but it was a little bit dark for my taste. There were just a lot of complainers. Like every time that I was walking around there were people complaining about something. Like, "I wanna talk to you because they didn't do this," so I didn't get a good feeling about that."

"They ignored our loved one. Uber staffed. Don’t answer emails and don’t communicate. "

"This place has been such a blessing for our family. It's always clean and peaceful, which helps create a calm environment. My grandma's room is tidy and comfortable, just the way she likes it. The food is fresh and well-prepared. She enjoys her meals and always mentions how nice everything tastes. The staff here really make the difference. They’re not only professional, but also kind and friendly. They treat my grandmother with patience and warmth, which means the world to us. A big thank you to the owner for creating such a warm and welcoming home. You’ve built something special here, and we’re truly grateful for the peace of mind it gives us."

"Oakmont of Whittier is a very nice facility. It’s very light and airy. The staff that took me around seemed like she was very familiar with what seniors need in an assisted living type area. I would recommend this facility if they can afford it since it is expensive. "

"My mother moved into Sparr Heights Estates Senior Living. We chose it because of its good location, the very nice staff, and the very clean private rooms that go out onto an outside courtyard. The staff is great. Sometimes my mom likes the food, sometimes she doesn't. The room is very clean and in good shape. They just replaced all the floors right before we got there. They always repaint the rooms before you move in. The little problems were minor, little things they had to fix, which they did, that we noticed in the room. They have a maintenance crew that comes and fixes any problems. They do try to keep them busy during the day. They always bring them all out of their rooms. They try to do exercises and games. They have discussions of current events or watch a little documentary about something. They try to keep them active - their minds and their bodies."
