Prestige Assisted Living at Chico

The tour I did of Prestige Assisted Living at Chico was OK, but it was more costly, and the amenities weren't as good as the place we ended up choosing. We toured the assisted living and it just didn't impress my mom. The appearance of it just didn't seem open enough. It was tighter and not as appealing as the other place.

I visited Prestige. The staff was available and fine. The amenities were good, but the pricing structure seemed ambiguous, and I couldn't anticipate what the final price would be. I saw the dining area, which was very nice, and they have a garden area and a patio.

Prestige Assisted Living at Chico was nice. The staff was really nice and friendly. We went into the unit where the patients were, and they were watching TV. The dining room was nice, but it wasn’t notable in any way, just nice and clean. They have a big calendar of activities.

Prestige Assisted Living at Chico was very nice with a very nice dining room and areas for people to gather. They had movie nights, exercise programs, play card, and had a lot of nice programs going on there. It was very well done. The furniture, countertops, and floors were all in very good condition and very updated. They had bus services to take the residents to different shopping areas and had themed parties. The staff was very nice, dressed well, had been there for a long time, and were very attentive to the residents. The food looked good from the menu they showed us.

My mother moved into Prestige Assisted Living at Chico about two weeks ago. It's amazing, and she is really happy. The people working there are very happy people and very loving. They talk to them, hug them, and say hello with smiles on their faces. The place is very clean, and the one thing we liked about it is when you walk in, there isn't a smell. It's big but it's homey, which made the difference. When you first come in, you have this beautiful dining room off to the left. They have linen table cloths, linen napkins, a nice little centerpiece, and leather-bound menus. They have main choices for each meal, but if those don't appeal to them, there are always alternatives on the menu for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I ate with her the first day we were there, and it's amazingly good. They do have a monthly schedule, and every day there are activities that go on. She's very physically well; she has just Alzheimer's. She likes to walk, and they have an exercise program every morning if she wants to be involved in that where they go for a walk together. They can go shopping once a week to various grocery stores where they are accompanied. They have a bus and go to Target and other stores. The atmosphere is amazingly happy. They keep them busy and interested. There is a library and a little movie room with a big screen where they put movies on at night if they want to watch. Everybody is so helpful. If you have any questions, they want it resolved right away. It's very professional in there. If I would recommend the place to somebody else. We're getting a lot for our money.

My mother-in-law was in assisted living at Prestige. She passed away a couple of years ago. It was good. The staff was very friendly, and they were more proactive. They'd poke their head in regularly and ask if she needed anything, and they would actually do things for her. They had the assisted lift chair like a recliner that would help you stand up, and they let her borrow that for a few months instead of renting it to her like other places might have done. I saw that there were activities available, but she was not interested. She was more of "I just want to read or listen to music." Before she needed the assisted living, she would always be gardening and doing other quiet activities.
