I really liked it. The people were very friendly and very helpful. I saw the interaction of the staff members with their residents and they seemed to be having a very good time. I especially liked their room because of their shower facility for the patients. You can wheel in with a wheelchair and move into a seat. It didn't have a curb, so that was really nice. I really appreciated that part of it. It was also more in tune with what I wanted to spend. I was impressed by how jovial the staff was, and how they interacted with their residents.

My uncle lives here and I love it; they're really nice. Everything is nice, they're good people, and everything is wonderful over there. I had a meal there, but they changed their cook and now they have a new one. They have all kinds of activities like bingo, games, and stuff like that. They have movies, and they have music and stuff. He loves it, so everything is good.

My mom has been here since May 9. She is in assisted living in a little studio apartment, and I believe that she is being taken care of. The staff has been very good with her. They have daily activities on a board that tells people what is happening when; there is always something to do. They have exercise programs.

I like the fact that it is an accountable facility for staff and management. Everything there is pretty spot on. It’s a small community with only 76 residents, which I like. So far, we have had a better experience here than we had for three years in another facility. Mom's apartment is a Friendship Suite, so she has a roommate in a separate bedroom, but they share a bathroom. They have ice cream socials, shopping excursions, go out to lunch once a week, play bingo, and do some other activities. There is someone who does haircutting and hairstyling for the residents. I am very happy with the work ethics of the staff. We’re really happy with this facility. They know their residents. It’s a very homey and welcoming community.

It was nice, but I won’t be able to fit in two bedrooms. I saw one apartment that was getting cleaned up. The staff was nice and helpful.

My mother is here and so far, I’ve been very pleased with what they’ve been doing for her. They’re helping us quite a bit one-on-one and have been very helpful and open.

I visited and it was favorable. It seemed very nice. My only objection to them was that they seemed to want too much medical information, as if you’re going into a skilled nursing facility. However, their rooms were adequate, and they were quite nice.

We looked here. We liked most the attitude of the woman who gave us the tour. She was very helpful in answering all my dad's questions and showing him the advantages of being in the care home and the activities like bingo and cards. The apartments were beautiful, well designed, and functional, and it had a good flow to them. I like the place a lot, and it had a lot to offer.

I visited, and it seems clean. The staff seemed friendly, but I wasn’t really taken with the facility. It is basically a nicely size motel room, and I know my father would not be interested in it. She also took me upstairs in the memory ward, and that was nice; it seemed like they really had that situation under control. They seemed to be caring and secured environment, and from what I could see, it appeared very clean and cheerful; it was bright and airy.

Everything is going so far so good for my mom. The staff was very helpful and very kind to us with giving information and following up. She has a studio type room.

I do have my dad in here now. Their rooms/apartments are very nice. They're clean. They have three different sizes, and I was able to put my dad in a little studio. He says the food is good. He gets three square meals and snacks everyday. They have outings, and they have a visiting doctor. I have no complaints with the staff. They all seem pretty friendly.

It was very nice. They seemed accommodating. They would take my brother and sister-in-law to doctor's appointments and things. It seems like they would have been a good fit. I think that they were adequate although I didn't think that they were special. The staff that I met was very friendly and knowledgeable. The dining area was a bit of a problem because it was a bit far. I just wasn't sure my sister-in-law would be able to walk that far with her walker.

The facilities and the activities that they have for the seniors were all very nice. It's a nice setup and very spacious. The staff was nice and very positive. They try stuff to make them feel comfortable. They acknowledge them when they are walking and knew their names. They interact with them.

It was very nice. I liked the dining room in particular and it had a nice open ceiling like a skylight, which gave it a warm and congenial atmosphere. The whole building was very nice. The staff was good. Their studio and one-bedroom units were small, but their two-bedroom units were adequate.

It was an older building and the hallways were not wide. But I like the people there. They were nice and kind. In their shared living facility, each person had their own bedroom and then in the middle was the living area and that was fabulous. The only problem was the doorway was not wide enough and my wheel chair couldn't go through.

My sister-in-law is in memory care. It's wonderful, and she has absolutely blossomed there. She is doing very well and they make every effort to give her things to do to keep her occupied and she seems very pleased. She's integrated with the staff and with the other people there. I saw her reading to the residents from a newspaper, and they were all very attentive and seemed very happy. It's really a good place. They keep her looking nice. I would recommend people to go there. They had a Mother's Day luncheon, and the food was very good. It's clean, freshly painted, nice carpet, and welcoming. They have a nice courtyard in the center. It's much more like a hotel rather than a typical convalescent hospital. They play the piano, they have bingo, happy hour on Friday nights, musicians and entertainment, and field trips for people who are able to go.

I visited and the staff was wonderful. However, it was not the right fit for my mom. My mom has memory care issues, and the area where she would have been placed felt to me more like a mental hospital, and I was not comfortable with that. The dining area seemed fine and spacious. There was availability for the people to do stuff in there. However, there didn't seem to be any outdoor areas for the clients to visit. It was a little bit isolated and felt that way; that's the part about it that I was not comfortable with for my mom.

I checked out Emeritus at Grand Terrace with a friend but it was too expensive for me. I have a limited income and that was a problem. However this facility is very nice. They provide three meals a day, a ride and everything. The facility itself is very clean. It is a square building with a garden on the inside so people would be protected if they were out in the yard. That area was beautiful. Their staff was very nice and friendly. They have all kinds of activities and nice programs for their residents. Also their food was excellent and you have a lot of choice. Their rooms were beautiful but small and that was kind of what turned us off. The room that we saw was just one room, it had its own bathroom, but it was not even a square room where one area you have the bed and the other area you have a couch and a TV.

The staff at Emeritus at Grand Terrace is nice. They take care of my dad, clean him up and feed him. The environment is also nice. My dad has his own room with his own kitchen and bathroom. They have bingo which he loves and other activities.

It did have a locked down unit for Alzheimer's patients. They also have an activity room, and they provide transportation outside where they can do outside activities. When we were there and we toured around, we saw staff and we actually went down into the locked down facility because dad was there for a short period of time. It was fine.

I have visited this facility twice for possible memory care placement for my mother. On both visits the staff and residents were very friendly. In the memory unit the staff was working with the residents on activities. There are many planned activities that are designed specifically for memory care residents. The staff and program focuses on working within the residents AD world rather than making them work in the staffs world. I was very impressed and plan to this facility for respite care and future placement.
