Diamond Terrace

I went to look at Diamond Terrace. I liked it best because it was only five minutes from my house. I like that the regular bus stop is right outside the door. I like the proximity to the pharmacy because it pretty much shares the same parking lot practically. The staff was very attentive and answered all my questions. They offered housekeeping every single week. The most important thing was the price point, so even though it was slightly expensive, everything was included, even electricity. I liked that it was in Clayton because it's very quiet and not very noisy. It's easy to find parking. It's not near the hospital, but it's very near downtown Clayton, which is full of restaurants. The problem is that it's on a bit of an incline, so a person with a walker might find it very challenging to navigate.

Diamond Terrace was my mom's favorite because the location is in a beautiful setting in downtown Clayton, and she really liked that. The lady that we met with was very kind, very helpful, and very accommodating, but they were short staffed. She showed us one of the model apartments and it was smaller than I would like for me or Mom, but she seemed to be happy with it. The dining area was a little smaller, but they have a three-star chef that works there, so the food is excellent. We've talked to a few people and they said it's just wonderful. They were playing bingo, they had a lot of family visitors, and they had cookies, drinks, and coffee out for everyone in the lobby, which was very cozy. There was a fireplace going and it was beautiful. A lot of walking was going on. They have an exercise room. It was a great place.

Diamond Terrace is a very nice community, but it was a little expensive for me. It's clean, seemed friendly, and is in a nice area. It looked like a very nice community, but it was just more than what I could afford.

Diamond Terrace is an independent living community at the foot of Mt Diablo. It perches above the Mayberryish town of Clayton with a sweeping panoramic view of the hills and countryside. A truly lovely setting with broad level walkways that encompass the property making walking outside a real pleasure. A beautiful setting indeed. My Mom lived at Diamond terrace for 12 years and just recently passed away. She could not have been happier. She made many long term friends and really enjoyed the on site hair salon and Donna the remarkable stylist that made everyone beautiful. As others have commented, the rest of the staff is remarkably friendly. Ellen the administrator along with Gwin and Ariel and many others go out of their way to make living at Diamond Terrace feel like living at home. Great people. Other reviews here have described the facility accurately. A few other really nice benefits include a full service CVS pharmacy right next door and several restaurants within easy walking distance. All in all I cannot think of a more pleasant place to live.

We went to visit Diamond Terrace, and it looked very nice. It's very clean. It was like an apartment complex more than an elderly place. It had beautiful views and trees. The people there could have their own kind of apartment and access to laundry as well as access to things if they needed extra help. Everybody seemed very nice. The residents walking around seemed to be happy living there. It's just a wonderful environment. They have a lot of different activities going on all the time. We saw people coming for something. It might have been group art thing. It seemed really nice.
