Senior Living in Los Angeles County, CA

"I liked CityView, but it's very pricey, and there's no outdoor area. It's out in the city, so there are no grounds. It's nice and clean, but it's a little dark inside for me. They take the residents out, and they play bingo. The place was lovely, and the staff was very accommodating and very nice. They also showed me the memory care where you have to share a room with somebody."

"So far, my stay here at Scholl Canyon Estates Gracious Retirement Living has been good. It's a very nice community with very nice administration. They are very accommodating. The people are great, and I've made several friends since I've been here. They might need a little improvement in their food, but they had good choices. Everything is nice and very well kept up. The staff is the one that's a plus to me, in how gracious they are for whatever it is that you need. They have a few staff that need some training, but overall, they're very good. The building is very clean and very presentable, with pictures on the wall. Everywhere you walk, it's just beautiful. They have activities and things, and they're going to have a line dance pretty soon. They take you on trips and shopping, too. They have games here and movies. I haven't attended any of those activities yet because I have things outside of this already that I have to get together before I can settle in. It's a bit pricey when I compare it to others, but they are kind of neck and neck with a majority of these facilities. When I talked to the head, Eileen, she was just kind of impressive to me because she was very down-to-earth. That was the first time I've dealt with any type of retirement living place, and they are the first ones that I called, and Eileen just made me feel so comfortable. She helped me get past my fears and encouraged me to come over and see her, talk with her, and see the place. Even though I couldn't get there at the time that was convenient for them, she was able to put the time later enough for me to be able to still come. I came late and brought my sister with me, and they were still very accommodating. It was as late as six or seven, and that was the only time I had. They were very pleasant. She made me feel at home. She let me see the place, and it was so beautiful. We just fell in love with her and the place on the same day. Even though there are other beautiful places that I was referred to that were just as nice, there's something about Eileen that brought my attention back here, that makes me feel very welcomed. As we walked through the hallways, it just really lifted me. I didn't know these places were like this. I didn't know this is what senior living was like. It's been like that since I've been here. It's just very gracious and very beautiful. I brought my friends here to see it. They're very impressed. So, I'm good here."

"We visited the Bethany Towers assisted living facility while searching for a suitable assisted living facility for our great aunt. Many of our family members live in the area, so this would be an ideal place for her to live. The outer grounds looked well-kept and pleasant. The staff greeted us and seemed very warm and friendly - which is the most important thing to our family. We want our aunt to be treated well in his new home. The foyer was nicely decorated and seemed homey, as did all of the communal rooms. The private spaces were all clean, well-kept and conveniently designed. They take the time to personalize to each resident's tastes. The dining areas were nicely designed and warm. Residents may choose communal dining or more private situations. There are places for them to visit with families, as well. The food looked deliciously prepared, as well as nutritious. The dietician and chef changes up the menu to keep it interesting and encourage resident to make suggestions. The activity calendar features many healthy and stimulating activities. They have outings to local libraries, events, culture, restaurants, shopping and athletic events. They take suggestions to update the schedule as much as possible. We really liked that the staff encourages participation and tries to make everything interesting for its residents. Staff appeared to make every effort to ensure that the residents were both safe and comfortable in this living environment. "

"The warm and caring staff made if comfortable to leave Mom in this beautiful immaculate home. She is nourished not only in delicious food - but also with lovely people. We are thankful for this great blessing in our lives. "

"Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles was very clean and the staff was very helpful. It's gated so it's very safe. I saw the dining hall and then a one-bedroom. It was nice. We are looking for a bilingual or more of a Japanese-speaking facility, and this person helped me and showed me around. She was fully bilingual. So, that would have been good for my friend. It was a good experience."

"A couple of weeks ago, I visited Hollenbeck Palms in Los Angeles and I like that very much. They have a chapel which is unique. The location is not ideal as the surrounding area is not exactly high class but I still really like it. It's the best out of every place that I have visited so far. The people were very friendly. I was able to meet a number of residents and I was impressed by how friendly they were. I only met one staff member and she was very helpful. I would rate her very highly. I probably need to say though that all I can afford at Hollenback is a studio apartment because if you're going to get a 1-bedroom, there's a substantial buy-in of over $200,000. That is a bit of a difficulty for me. I was also impressed by the food. I had lunch there with some nice people. The food was the best of all that I have had and I had lunch at several places I visited. They had the one thing the others did not have and that's the chapel. That appeals very much to me."

"My friend has moved into Ivy Park at Burbank. It was a great experience from the beginning. The parking was easy and accessible to the main lobby. When we got to the main lobby, a welcome sign welcomed us for the tour. We had a wonderful tour. It was very informative about just the general property. The property itself was clean and bright. What impressed me was that they were all well-groomed and pleasant, and they weren't pandering. You knew they were health care professionals that cared and tried to take an interest in the person. That's what meant a lot to me. So I was very impressed with that. The place itself was beautiful. The model we saw that became my friend's studio apartment was beautiful, too. The place was newly renovated. They have new appliances and new cabinets. Just cheerful and wonderful. I can't say enough about Ivy Park. I think their services are fine. My friend just came out of the hospital, but I know that she is getting all the services there at Ivy Park. She's getting her medications managed, she's getting great meals, and today, physical therapy was coming up. We met the activities director, and there are activities, but my friend is not able to participate at this time. But I know the activities are great."

"I got my dad into Evergreen Retirement Residence. So far, it's a great location. They have been attentive to his needs. I have nothing bad to say about them. They have an in-house doctor that comes in and takes care of them, so you don't need to send them away for a doctor. They have physical therapy. It's great. His room is nice. The staff is great. So far, he has no complaints about the food. He gets 24-hour care there, so it's full care. I have no complaints. They have tons of stuff. They have a dining room and a separate recreation area where they have a pool table. They constantly have things going on. They don't eat in a room. They can if they want, but they go to the dining room and intermix, and they have all kinds of activities throughout the day and exercise classes and all that stuff, so that's great."

"My dad was a resident of Astoria Senior Living for last three years of his life. I will be forever grateful to the owners, Inna and Sofia, not only for taking such good care of my father but also for the generous assistance they offered me to find solutions to every detail of his care. Astoria is an outstanding place. My father had been to several places prior to Astoria where he wasn't bathed, and his clothes were always dirty, or his belongings were stollen, or his meds weren't administered correctly. None of that happens at Astoria. They care about their residents and get personally involved with with their needs. I didn't feel like I was handling it alone anymore. Inna and Sofia treated us like family. My dad was welcomed with open arms. They baked him a birthday cake the day he arrived and sang to him. He smiled that day for the first time in a long time and I sighed with relief. He had his own private room that was clean and neat as was the rest of the facility at all times. Every time I visited, which was often, he was always clean with fresh clothes on. They have a lovely sundeck with umbrella's where the residents can sit and soak in fresh air when weather permits. The caretakers are kind, caring and patient. Astoria feels more like a family home than it does a facility. I would highly recommend Astoria to anyone looking for a safe place for a loved one where they will be treated with dignity. Sincerely, Lisa O."

"I went to Belmont Village Burbank. I like the amenities. There's a movie theater, a beauty salon, and a nice patio area for the guests. It feels very comfortable, warm and inviting. The staff who gave the tour was very informative, very professional, very positive, and welcoming. The dining area was spacious. The menu looked good and I thought the selections were good, too. The guests seemed happy. It seemed like a nice club-like setting."
