The people at The Crest at Citrus Heights were very nice, and we enjoyed the tour very much. However, we didn't really like the apartments. They're just older and kind of dark. Also, when you're totally independent, and you're moving from an 1800-square-foot home, that's just not where you want to go. The staff members were delightful. We toured the dining room and met the staff, and that was very nice. They had both indoor and outdoor dining facilities, which I thought were very nice, too.

It is terrific.I like it a lot. I met some of the staff members, they're very nice, the place is very clean, and they have a lot of activities. They have games, exercise classes, and more activities. The community is really set up very nice. We got to have lunch with one of the people there and they have really good meals.

I will be moving in this weekend. I went with my girlfriend because she lives a mile and a half away and we were very impressed. Everybody was very nice and they invited us to stay for lunch. We saw the units that they had available. I liked the coloring inside the building. It was very comfortable. There's no ceiling fan in the living room, so they offered to bring one in for me and I just felt like they went above and beyond. I was disappointed there was no carport, but the other things all seemed to work out. I don't really need a carport; I'll probably just cover my car. There were lots of parking available. I liked it from the beginning and then after I saw the place and after talking to the staff, I was even more convinced. It seemed more like home to me and it just felt so comfortable. Everyone was very nice.

My dad moved here because one good old time friend was there. The staff was friendly, and they contract out separately to do additional care for him. They have games, music, movies, and outings.

I had a very good experience when I visited the community. The staff has been very nice, and the pace seemed very clean. If I am going to select one, this place would be high on my list. Their rooms have a nice little kitchen in them.

It was fine and in a nice location. The rooms were a little small, but the staff was great. We went for lunch, and the food was delicious. They had crafts.

I have been here a couple of times. I was going to take a room there and give them a deposit, but the problem is the parking. They have assigned parking for the residents, which is good, but anybody who wants to visit, say my son who lives out of town, has to park on the street. The rooms are large, and I really like them. The people are very pleasant. It is an older establishment, but that doesn't mean anything. It was a comfortable place. You cannot take your pets in the main building. The staff was very responsive, but the waitress that waited on me wasn't the friendliest person in the world. The food was really good.

It is off the road a little bit more, and they have a lot of wildlife over there. They have pheasants, bunnies, squirrels, and ducks. Right down to the property is a park and the Sylvan Oaks Library. The residents are allowed to go out and can go whenever they want to, but they have to sign out. They have an exercise room. If they want even more exercise, they're right across the street from 24 Hour Fitness. They had a storage locker, too, for the residents. The rooms are well maintained and spacious enough. They don’t have as many decorations, but I think they’re going to be revamping that.

We just placed my father in-law in a one bedroom apartment at Crossword Oaks this summer. It was a difficult across country move and the folks at the facility really accommodated the process. We were impressed with the folks and the setup of the facility. So far my father-in-law is enjoying his apartment, dining set-up and is meeting other veterans like himself. It eases my mind that there is Home health office there, and they have an aging in place program that will provide services to meet his needs as they occur.

I am/was a resident of this facility
I'm living here. It's very friendly. There are places to walk and a book club. The staff is helpful. They serve lunch and dinner, and you're pretty much on your own during breakfast. They have a bus, and you can arrange to use it up to seven miles away. It's really green, and they have animals outside that you can watch.

It was very nice, sunshiny, and bright, and the amenities were not brand new but in really good condition. They had storage units, pull cords, and a large vanity in the bathroom. Most of the time in other places, I’ve seen just a sink and a little ledge around the sink to put powders, lotions, or soap; this one had a larger vanity, so that was nice, and walk-in showers. It had a balcony or a patio whether you’re downstairs or upstairs, and also a bus for transportations. The staff was very friendly. They served lunch and dinner, and they also checked on the resident if that person doesn’t show up for a meal. The reason I didn’t choose this one, even though I really liked it, is because we just couldn’t afford it.

My mother-in-law was placed here for six months. It was close to my home, which was a plus, and allowed the family to come in and spend the night when residents are sick. Instead of having to put my mother-in-law in a full assisted living facility, it was a lot easier to keep her there. They also had a nurse on staff that would come and check on my mother-in-law every hour and bring her meals. The facility was very nice and had a country setting with turkeys and rabbits running around the place. My mother-in-law got attached to the rabbits and would feed them every day. They also had a beauty parlor. What attracted me most was that it didn’t feel like a hospital. It had more of a homey, welcoming feeling to it, so I really liked that. At first, the food was really good, but then they changed the cook toward the end, so it started to taste different. My mother-in-law wasn’t eating toward the end anyway, but they did have a menu and specials. If you didn’t want what they were serving, you could always have a hamburger, chicken nuggets, chicken pot pies, scrambled eggs, or grilled cheese sandwich. It wasn’t the most expensive place, but it wasn’t the cheapest place either. I thought the rates were reasonable. She had a bedroom and a living room with a kitchenette. They did the cleaning for her once a week, and there was a laundry facility right there. The staff was wonderful. I never had a problem with them. If I called or needed something, they were always there to help me. If my mother-in-law needed something, they always were there to help her, too.

Our grandma lives here. We are really happy with it. It is a great facility. They have all the accommodations that she needs. They make lunch and early dinner for the residents, and they have different trips that the residents can take. They have a calendar with a lot of activities, so they are very active. The staff is great, and the facility is clean. It is definitely a place I would recommend. It has lots of trees. There are bunnies running around the meadow area and turkeys gobbling all over the place. They have a really beautiful serene atmosphere.
