Stratford at Beyer Park was a very nice, very clean, and orderly facility. The staff member who toured us around was very nice, and answered any questions we had. They had music on certain days, bingo, cards, and a happy hour.

Stratford at Beyer Park was very nice and I liked their memory care. The place looked clean and rather elegant inside. It looked like a place that would be pleasant to live in. I liked how one particular lady was being cared for. She was asleep, clean, and apparently they had her favorite music on her boom box. Other people in memory care were doing a singalong with a girl on guitar; I liked seeing them engaged. It didn't smell like urine. The rooms were pleasant. The staff was very friendly.

The Stratford was very good. They treated us nice. They showed us around. They were very courteous. It just was not the right fit for my mother-in-law. The rooms were adequate. The residents looked happy.

Stratford at Beyer Park is a nice place. The shower is a roll-in shower because Dad is in a wheelchair. He has three options every meal of what he wants to eat. Dad's room has a mini-fridge. They have all kinds of activities. The place is by a park, and the surroundings are nice.

The Stratford at Beyer was really nice, but my mother-in-law didn’t like that the only room they had available was a small studio, and she couldn’t handle moving from a condo into one room, and not having her furniture, so she said it was too stuffy. She didn’t like the big overstuffed furniture. The people there were very nice, and we had a couple of tours, but she didn’t end up there, though they were very nice and welcoming, and the residents looked happy. My husband and I thought the facilities were nice, but it just didn’t appeal to her. It was the first one that we saw and I think at that time she still was mentally fighting assisted living. The dining area wasn’t too light and open, but it was very nicely laid out, though a little on the darker side because of where it was located in the building. We thought she would be very happy there, and we were quite comfortable with her going there. They didn’t have a gym or a pool, but they do have a beauty shop. They also have a snack bar and their grounds were very pretty. The facility doesn’t seem big, and it’s not on much land, but it looks out across the park. Their marketing person gave a really nice tour for my husband. I had talked to her over the phone, then my husband went to see the place separately from his mother and was extremely impressed.

My mom is in Stratford at Beyer Park. I have nothing but good things to say about the place. It is the best place in Modesto. They have activities all throughout the day and go on day trips and do crafts. It’s really nice. They have their own restaurant that gets excellent reviews. The food is excellent made fresh in their kitchen daily. They replaced the old carpets, and even those didn’t look bad, and keep it up well. The people there are very caring and responsible.

The Stratford At Beyer Park Senior Living was very lovely. The people are very nice. The facility was all beautiful, all up to date, nice, neat, and modern. The day I visited, they had a musical group singing in the lobby, and we all gathered to listen. They have puzzles too. We had lunch there, and the food was great. They kept offering more and more. They have plenty of food, so there’s no reason to go hungry. I had salad and dessert and a Mexican dish. They had varieties of sandwiches and chicken, pies, cakes, pudding, all kinds of things to choose from.

We chose The Stratford because of the location and the appearance of the facility. It is modern and really comfortable. It is kind of classy looking, and it did not smell. My mother has been there since the end of July. I will recommend it, but I will say that it is very expensive. The care seems very good, and the most important part is that my mother likes it there.

Stratford at Beyer Park had the best physical environment. It was best run, and it was the most expensive. The people were more educated. It had a better layout. It was a nicer place. The staff was professional, but not nearly as sweet as those at the other two places I went to.

We really liked the Stratford. We're just not in a position right now to get grandma there on her own. The whole feel of it was really inviting and warm. My grandma gets a little claustrophobic, so their hallways were wide, and there was an open floor plan. I love their activities. The seniors living there seemed happy. The staff seemed very warm and helpful. We did take grandma there for a lunch and a tour.
It has just a really good feel, and I thought it will be a good fit for my grandma. There's a variety of residents there. Some still drive on their own, some can't, and there are some in wheelchairs. So there's a different variety which I like because my grandma has to spend it out being with old people, even though she's 91 years old.

Stratford was high-end and was not in my mom's budget. The staff was very nice. The rooms were spacious -- they have apartments and studios and it depends on what you're looking for. There's somebody at the desk or entrance all the time but it's not a gated community.

Stratford was very nice. The place looked clean and everybody looked happy. We met residents who had very nice things to say and that was very reassuring. My husband plays softball at the park across this place every weekend so it is convenient.

The facility was very nice. I didn't make an appointment because I wanted to get an actual tour and staff didn't make me wait. It was my first choice to visit as it is the closest assisted living facility to where I live. They took me around. It was in a nice neighborhood and the apartments were very spacious. The inside was decorated very nicely. They had a game room and move theater. It seems kinda very but one of the things I liked the most about the apartments were they had high toilets so people weren't bending over so far to sit down and they had fold-able seats in the showers. They seemed to have a lot of activities and staff seemed to be attentive. It was a bit expensive especially since it has to be paid out of pockets as medicare doesn't cover it. The food seemed kinda bland but that could have been because of people needing special dietary needs.

My mother has been at Stratford at Beyer Park for a week now. We are happy with it. She is having a difficult time adjusting, but this is her first two weeks, and they said that the first two weeks are the hardest, but we are very pleased. The food there is fabulous. They have an assisted care section as well as the memory care section. The assisted care section is like going into a 5-star hotel; it is absolutely beautiful. They have a library, a movie theater, a big flat-screen TV, and beautiful furniture. There are people sitting at tables playing bridge, they have a bus system system that takes them to San Francisco to see places, and they have a bus system that takes them to their doctor's appointments on Tuesday and Thursday. My mother is in the memory care. The staff members there are very caring and very loving. They have wonderful activities for them, too. They take them out of the memory care for 20% of the day. If there is a good movie, they take them to the movie theater so that they can watch the movie. During the day, they go into the assisted living care unit so that they can have lunch at the café there. They serve the meals like they would serve it in a restaurant. They get their soup first, and then they give them a beautiful tossed green salad. They have their own chef there. The staff members are very nice and very helpful. The facilities are lovely. It is expensive, but I think they are getting the value for that.
