I visited The Park Lane and talked to the staff in the office and in the restaurant. They friendly and they're great. The location is convenient to grocery stores and shopping centers, and it has a beautiful view of the ocean. The rooms are very nice and large. There's a nice balcony in each room if you want to go outside, sit in the sun, and look at the ocean.

Park Lane was our favorite, but it cost more than what we could afford. We liked the feeling of family, the activities, the transportation, the dining room, and the ambiance of the place. They have so many activities; I would love to be involved in the bridge group, and they're going to start with gardening. They involve the people that live there in a lot of things that go on.

The Park Lane is a bit too institutionalized, more like a hospital than an assisted living facility. It's a very large building with over 250 residents. We went into their memory management area, and it was very depressing the way they had it set up. It's a locked area, so that the residents could not roam freely. They would have to be escorted out of the more secure places with an attendant in hand, which really wasn't very comfortable. The social recreation is on individual floors where they had common areas where people could come and to listen to music or watch entertainment. It was rather small per floor. I didn't really see one large area where people gathered at one time. We did have lunch and none of us were very impressed. I was with my wife and my father. The food was kind of bland, wasn't totally warm, and not very satisfying.

The Park Lane is good, more kind of hotel-ish. It’s stacked up high, maybe 10 floors. It’s like a big, grand hotel. I like the food in this facility. The community is really good, because they are of all ages. It is a very clean and very well-maintained facility. The staff are great; they are on top of everything. They called me back and kept in touch.

The Park Lane was perfectly fine, and probably the best of the lot. It was not a great place, but the facility itself seemed excellent. The food was average to above average. It’s also expensive.

The Park Lane was definitely more on the high end. It's in a very secluded area in Monterey in the midst of the pines. It's fancier, but not horribly expensive. You can live outside or inside the high rise building. But if you do go into assisted living, you do have to move to a different area. They have tremendous flexibility for their dining facility. They are open 12 hours a day and you can go eat anytime which is very nice. They have a vehicle and there are more services available at Park Lane than the other one we visited. There are physicians that would come, even hairdressers, and there's an area where different services are provided in the main building. I know several people who have love ones that are living there and they've been impressed. They said that the food was very good. The staff was very good too. I've been there twice and I saw the same person and she remembered me. They were very understanding and very sensitive. They followed up but they didn't pester me.

The Park Lane has memory care division which is what I needed for my mother. I chose this facility because it is close to my house, the food is very good, and the care is very good too. The rooms are very nice. There isn't a kitchenette because it is a memory care place, and they are not allowed to have the kitchenette or sink. There are three meals a day plus snacks. I'm very happy with this facility. Plus it is less expensive than the one we were in. They have live music and art classes. They go for walks everyday. My mom walks everyday, which is really great. They go on bus rides, like scenic drives. There are just all kinds of activities. My mom is so happy there, and she wasn't happy at the other place.

The Park Lane is like a hotel, and it is nice. I checked a comparative price on it, and I found it to be in line. In fact it was even less than the other facility I visited. The Park Lane is situated in an area in Monterey that you really couldn't just get out and walk. You have to get in a van or a taxi to get around because it is a bit remote being up on a hill. The people working there are very nice and very professional. Separated from the facility is what they call The Villas at the back which I found to be more amenable for me. Some of the units have you enter just from the ground level. That would be a nice place if you have a pet. The food was fine; it wasn't exceptional, but I wouldn't say anything negative about it.

The Park Lane was very clean and comfortable. They were close to a lot of shopping areas. They had a lot of activities to offer. They had little casinos built inside, and I liked it. The staff and residents were very happy and friendly. It was very nice. I have tried the food, and it was good.

The Park Lane has poor service and inadequate staffing. The rooms are dated and improperly kept. They had poor housekeeping. I saw the food and I was not impressed. The security of the place is average.

The physical plant itself is very nice. The interior reminds one of a better class hotel. The food is quite good and I enjoyed the food there. Selections are very good especially for dinner. Some residents there have been known to dress for dinner. There is a spa and and exercise room and there is entertainment throughout the week and other activities to keep one from getting bored. From that standpoint The Park Lane is quite a nice place to be if one does not need a certain level of care. Basic cleaning and laundering are provided as are entertainment rides. And allow me to tell you something else. Their memory care or assisted living areas are not what one would think it to be. I had a friend who was living there. When the friend's condition changed a bit, my friend was dumped simply because they did not have the people needed to provide the right kind of care. That was very sad as this friend had to be placed in another facility though adequate, is hardly as nice as The Park Lane. So beware. The place is pricey though not as pricey as some others in the general area. The place deep down is not quite the place that it appears to be.

I checked out The Park Lane because it was just five minutes from my son's house. I liked the facility because it was very clean and neat. The price was just right for a two-bedroom apartment. The staff were cordial and friendly. There were also many activities. The food was very good and they had a chef who prepared the menu each day.

We were quite happy with our stay at The Park Lane. We picked it among others because it was in a nice area. It was landscaped and there was a good view. The price was also lower compared to other places. My wife and I lived in an apartment which was on the second floor of the building. We had a bigger space compared to the other residents who were in rooms only. Everything was quite upscale. I liked the food, They had different menus and I was quite pleased with it. It was not buffet styled. We just sat down and they served us the food. There were musicians a couple of nights a week. There were also trips and other activities. We did any activity if we wanted to. It would be nice if the physical set-up was improved or remodeled for a modern look.

My mother chose this facility. This is both an independent living and assisted living facility. Its a beautiful facility. The rooms are very nice. Its centrally located, they've got a van to take people around, a doctor who visits in, a beauty salon and a lot of activities. its very good. There's even a place where families can stay for the night but with an extra charge. They are now in the process of converting a floor to an Alzheimer's wing/floor.

The Park Lane had a good reputation for a long time. The food is pretty good, the service has been excellent, the people are friendly, and they have walk-in showers. The area is very beautiful, and I really have no complaints at this time. They allow pets.

I like that The Park Lane has chalets and that would be something that I would be interested in. They have nice apartments, but I don't want to be in the main building. The chalets have two bedrooms and they are spacious and wonderful, but they are separated from the main house, which means you have to walk over there if you go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's not very far, but when it rains, that is to be considered. The staff was very courteous and nice. It's not near a street and I like their dining room the best. It's more spacious, open, and you look more into greenery and the garden. It just did not have a nursing facility.

The Park Lane was beautiful but very expensive. It was a very good, multi-level community. The staff was great, treated us to lunch, toured us for over an hour, and gave us a seminar on what to expect. Once a week, they have wine and cheese in the afternoon, and somebody comes in and plays the piano.

We visited The Park Lane last March. I found it online, and it was very good. The staff were very pleasant and polite, some were friendly, but the others were just business like. We were interested in it because it had kind of cottages called chalets. They were two apartments -- one on top of the other -- and they were large. They offered dinner with a complimentary breakfast. The food was kind of elegant. They had fish, soup, and salad, and it was a pretty dining room. It was octagonal, and it's very nicely furnished. We liked the interior of the place. It had a large spa that you could swim around in, they had a movie theater, and it had assisted living as well and memory care. It had a wonderful view, on top of the highest building of the Monterey Bay, and that was the best we've seen. They had about the normal kinds of activities. They had bingo, exercise, get togethers, lectures, lively music, outings almost everyday, and they had also a couple of happy hours a week. My wife actually was asked to give a talk there on her subject that she is expert in. We've been told by them that the price had gone up, so it would be quite expensive for us. If you could afford it, I would recommend it to a person who doesn't want to be in town. It is not near a city. If people want to be more active like walk down into the stores, you had to go by transportation.
