Assisted Living Communities in Pacific Grove, CA

"We loved Ivy Park at Salinas. It was very well run and maintained, but I think the size of it would make it easy for some people to kind of get lost in the big crowd. It was nice for a retirement community, but it was too big for what we wanted. The room had a little kitchenette and a refrigerator. The staff who gave us the tour was friendly, and very informative, answered all the questions, and followed up with us."

"We chose Vista Harden Ranch for my relative because of the pricing. The whole staff is nice. The communication is excellent and they're always willing to answer any questions I have. It's a very clean facility. He's gained 25 pounds since he's been there. They try to keep the patients busy. People come in to entertain them. They have a great director who tries to keep them active with games and everything like that. They're really good that way. They like to engage their patients."

"I toured Twin Lakes Manor. It was just a small place, and I liked it. It was very clean. The residents looked cared for and content. The person who gave me the tour was very friendly and gave me a thorough tour. I liked the grounds. There's a great big back patio that's all enclosed, so it's very secure. Overall, I had a good impression. The staff would just smile as I walked by. I didn't see organized activities at the time, but I saw a woman getting her nails done. They don't have a bus taking people out to places. I believe it's licensed for 12, but they only had about 6 residents at the time. So, it's very quiet. It's just more of a residential house, but it's a quiet neighborhood on a dead-end street. So, it's secluded and safe."

"This is one of the best facilities! We moved our dad in here and his health and overall happiness has improved tremendously!! They always seem to have some sort of activity going on & Dad has taken a liking to being involved in those! Thank you to the staff for all you do! "

"I went to the facility. I have eaten there more than four times. The plus is that you can walk downtown Pacific Grove in a few minutes. That's wonderful. They have for people who have independent living, they have apartments, their whole wall is glass with an ocean view. It was beautiful, it was astonishing. They have singers and people to entertain them over there. They take people to the swimming pool and the sports centers, I guess in a van. The facility is very beautiful. The apartments are astonishing, beautiful, and some of the apartments have ocean views. They have a library. The staff is wonderful. Twice or three times a year, they invite people who are interested. You spend the afternoon eating and socializing, and they talk about the facility. They are very friendly and accommodating."

"My dad moved into assisted living at Canterbury Woods - Pacific Grove. It looks very nice. He knows several people who currently live there and he's able to work out a deal where his current home health aide can continue to be his aide there. The dining staff and director were very helpful and nice to work with. The food looks fine. There seemed to be quite a few activities, like lectures and discussion groups. My dad has struggled a couple of times recovering from pneumonia and they have on-site skilled nursing so he can move from his apartment into that long enough to recover and back to his apartment without going into a different facility. They have a large facility where they do exercises and lectures."

"Carmelo Park is pretty large, and they have a lot of clients. It seemed nice, and they gave me an excellent tour. The person there was very accommodating and gave me a very good tour. It's a good location and inside was very good, and they have a little area outside for people to sit. They have a large deck on one side of the facility so people can sit out there, so it's a nice place. They have a salon where the ladies can get their hair done, and I think they have an exercise room. They had a big room where people can watch TV. They had a nice dining area, and I met the chef. It's very impressive. "

"My brother is currently in Merrill Gardens at Monterey. I have found them to be very responsive. It's a very uplifting atmosphere. They have lots of activities. The facility has amazingly 12-hour restaurant-style dining. So, they can go downstairs anywhere between 7 in the morning and 7 at night and eat. I've never had a bad meal, it's very good. They have happy hour on Thursdays where they have live music and entertainment, and they have a large activity room and a big screen TV where they watch movies twice a day. They have an exercise room with guided exercises for seniors. They go on excursions. They got a bus where they can take 15 or 20 people and they go to plays and they go to the grocery stores and out to eat lunch. It's just a very involved, beautiful complex. They've got five levels of care, which takes them from totally independent living right up to memory care - dementia and Alzheimer's. And so, you don't have to move. I was there for Thanksgiving dinner and that seriously was the best turkey I've ever had in my life. They do a wonderful, wonderful job. It's a new facility, it's like four or five years old. "

"Ave Maria (St Francis Care Center) was recommended by several people. My mom has been a devout Catholic all her life and the fact that they have a chapel there and a mass everyday and that was very important, that is why we chose this place for her. She moved there on February 28th.This facility seemed like a very good fit for my mom. I have her in a small private room where she has a nice view looking out the window. Her room is nice. I found the staff to be very caring. They have an excellent activities director. She has a lot of love and care for the people there. At Ave Maria, they have the equipment to get my mom into a wheelchair. Also mom is participating with other residents there in activities and things. She just seems to be much happier and doing much better. She doesn't have any problem with the food. "

" The physical set-up of Flanders Court is simultaneously gracious, secure, and homey. The handsome garden and patio are integrated into the living area. Internally, residents have access to abundant natural light, eclectic tasteful furnishings, and bedrooms are personalized with a resident's own possessions. All of this helps support a sense of identity and orientation. I speak as a retired R.N. For all the positives mentioned above, the real treasure of Flanders Court as a resource for residents and those who love them is its care-giving staff. They were kind and helpful with me, drew my loved one out as an individual with a history and identity, and provided enrichments like scenic drives and conversation. I observed a wide range of physical and mental capability and needs accompanied by a wide range of support and independence available to residents. That speaks well for individualized care. The compassion and quality care I observed remain with me to this day. I am grateful for Flanders Court and appreciate this opportunity to share my experience. "
