Terraces of Los Gatos

I had friends over in the Terraces. My friend took me around there and showed me. The place is very clean and very modern. They had two dining rooms with linen table cloths. My friend who was staying said that if she had colds or something, they would bring her food to her apartment. She had a very small kitchen, so she could make herself breakfast or a sandwich or something like that. They had a facility to take care of people medically. They had a library. They had a little stage area where people could perform. Some of the units had a garage. I knew it cost more, or you could part on the general facility.

Terraces of Los Gatos was the best that we saw. You don't pay an upfront amount, and you only pay on a monthly basis. When you run out of money, then you have to leave the place. We looked for cottages because we don't like the apartment-style atmosphere. This place had what we wanted -- a long-term care from independent living all the way to memory care. It was a very good place compared to all the others we've seen. It's a good middle-class environment.

The Terraces seemed like a good facility. The staff was helpful and informative. It was very clean and very welcoming.

Everything was very nice about the Terraces. The only thing wrong was that they didn't have enough of the little single houses. It's very well run, and I was treated very nicely. I like them. I looked at a lot of places, and it certainly is the top.

I really like The Terraces as well, but they have a very small memory care unit, and they were already filled up. They have a brand new memory care unit, and it is a very nice facility. We'll try to go for it if they have space, but I don't think they will have space for quite some time. The rooms are very big with a big walk-in bathroom. It is very organized because everything is in the middle. So all the rooms faced to a big central open area where they have the nursing facility and the kitchen. This is where they do all the activities. We saw some exercise activities going on when we were there. They have an OK patio area. It is very nice and very low landscape although not that big. They also have other grounds, so if I was to visit mom we could take her around. It is a very nice place.

The Terraces provided everything my mother (and we) needed during a difficult time, and more. Having toured numerous facilities that were adequate but dismal and depressing, The Terraces offered more than a breath of fresh air. My mother recuperated there for 11 weeks after difficult surgeries, and was cared for better than we could have hoped - the staff was knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and caring. The facility is beautifully kept, clean, fresh and well-appointed with pleasant outdoor areas, and the dining rooms and food exceeded all expectations, but more importantly the residents were equally well-kept! Even in the skilled nursing area, most were up and dressed during the day, and participating in many provided activities. The Kaiser doctor on staff, Alice, was a Godsend, and Marguerite, the resident beautician, a delight. Most all the staff were truly dedicated to the well-being of the residents, and my mother recovered beautifully. We would highly recommend this facility.

I visited The Terraces, and right now, it is for my sister, who is legally blind. It is very nice. We were impressed with the staff and the facilities and what they had to offer people. The rooms were good. It was a bit spacious and they were satisfactory. I ate at their cafeteria and I had lunch there. It was very good. We checked out their swimming pool. They have a small gymnasium for people who like to work out, and that was something my sister was interested in doing. We looked at some of the outings that they have. It's nice to see that they had some of these things that would take people out into the community for shopping and mini vacations. It just had a very friendly, comfortable, warm atmosphere. It wasn't all that we wanted, but it was pretty nice.

The Terraces at Los Gatos came highly recommended by our friends who were residents of the facility. We also chose it for my husband because it's near us. The staff's work attitude has been very good. The night shift might have been a little less, but for the rest it was good. I can't really complain about anything. It's a very pleasant place. The building is really nice. The people are sophisticated. It's a nice group of people there. It's very clean and very pleasant to walk around. It has a very open feeling.

We have known about Terraces of Los Gatos for quite a long time. We have had invitation to come over and visit them and see their facility. They were nice. They are located not too far from where we live and we like it. It is close to a lot of small shopping areas and it is not too far from my daughters. We sat in the dining room with the bunch of other people and they had some kind of refreshments. They had an exercise place but there wasn't anybody exercising there. What I like best about Terraces of Los Gatos is that it was a very clean facility and the people were friendly.

A friend of ours who is living at The Terraces of Los Gatos invited us to the facility. We like the idea that they had swimming pool. I was not able to get to know the activities there very well, and I think I need to ask about those and know what they are. I think this is quite an expensive place. My friend's room is very pretty, and she brought her own furniture. We had lunch there, and the food was very nice.
