Deer Park looked nice and clean. I liked this place and it seemed reasonably priced. I saw one room and it had a bathroom, a refrigerator, and a microwave. It looked good. The staff who assisted me was very friendly and very easy to deal with. It was a nice building.

We had an in-person tour of Deer Park. The staff was fantastic. I enjoyed his tour, talking with him, and coordinating with him. He was just really great to work with, so I think he was the highlight. The grounds there were all so wonderful, which is one of the things my mom cares about. If you paid more for your community fee, your rent would come down, which was wonderful flexibility from a financial standpoint. The menu looked phenomenal, which was probably the best menu we saw. The internal feel of the space, where there's a big open space, really gave the entire place a open feel. The room that we were looking at was a studio, which was not what my mom wanted, but it was the biggest studio we'd seen, so the quality of their rooms was high. They had a great kitchenette. The library that they had felt great. It felt like they had a lot to offer.

Deer Park Retirement Community was the bomb. We toured it and it was so pretty. It was like living on top of a mountain. It was gorgeous. There were people hopping and bopping around. It just had more of an intellectual/cultural feel. It seemed like the people there were a little more cognizant and a little bit more active. Everybody I saw was walking around or they had their little sweatpants on, and they were going to yoga, or they were going to do something. It was a little bit more of a bustling, hustling place. They had a pool table room, shuffleboard, and a movie theater room. They had all these little rooms. They have this beautiful library, too. And the view was over the top. It was absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous. The landscaping was over the top. It had little meditation fountains. If I am honest to goodness sincere, if my father had more money and we made more money, I would have put him there in a heartbeat, simply for the fact that it was closer to the house. I live in Santa Rosa, so Novato is 19 minutes. If there was an emergency, or just going to visit with my father, Novato was closer. That made another difference. My father is very bright. He has some physical disabilities, but he's cognitively super smart. Everybody there just seemed like they were moving and grooving, and I think some people are just a little bit more mentally on the ball. But my father's also very good just going in his room after dinner, reading a book, and watching sports, and that's what he likes to do. He's got a walker, so he can't really play pool or do shuffleboard. So, all of the amenities were really pretty, but it came down to what could my father utilize for that extra money, and those were things that didn't really matter. He can't stand on a walker and shoot pool.

What scared us about Deer Park is it's up on a hill, and there's only one way out if there was ever a fire. It made my mom very nervous. It's up in the grassy hill high up, so that gives every room a nice view. The rooms were actually pretty nice, but its location scared her a little bit. The gardens were nice. It's far away, if she wanted to go down to have coffee; it's pretty far up the hill. They said people could walk, but she would never be able to walk that. The facilities were very nice. She really liked the apartment a lot. The dining room was nice. We saw people eating, and you can sit and look out over the valley. It's actually very nice. There's good security, and they have somebody manning the lobby at all times. It's also small, so they know what's going on. For me (as a relative), that was kind of important. It was a bit pricey for what you're getting. It is probably on the higher end of what we can afford. The residents weren't that friendly. I think they're people with more means, and I think she would be alone a lot. We didn't meet anybody that was very friendly. The facility is very nice. If you're self-motivated on the younger side of elderly block, and you can get around, it's probably a great place to live, but it is not right for my mom.

We really like Deer Park Retirement Community. It was very picturesque and the common areas were very nice, like the dining room and movie room. We'll pick a 1-bedroom for mom. It was basic, but nice. The only negative was there's not a lot of closet space; otherwise, it's a very nice room with a balcony. The people we met were very nice. The activities all look good. They have movie nights, puzzles, bingo, yoga, chair yoga, and different things that look like they would be good for her. It appeared friendly and not very depressing for a senior community.

My Mom moved in to Deer Park in November of 2020. They went out of their way to make her feel welcome at the peak of covid. The management staff, Tevis, Kevin and Melinda are exceptional. Once Marin county allowed activities, Melinda came up with creative ways to get the residents active. The facility is well kept up and the dining room lovely. My Mom is happy she moved there.
