The Best Senior 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."

"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."

"Forest Hill Manor has independent, assisted, and nursing, and I looked at the independent for myself and assisted for a friend of mine. It's very good. I liked everything about it. The only thing that I don't like is Pacific Grove has a lot of fog. The person during the tour was very pleasant. The food was good and the dining area was very nice. They redid it, it's large, and it's very inviting. I've gone there for lunch and tea and I'm invited again for a tea. The staff was nice. They went out of their way and they're very pleasant."

"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."

"I am beyond pleased with the efficiency & professionalism of the Director of Admissions, Mariah. She was a godsend when trying to get my mom transferred out of a facility that was beyond negligent and into Pacific Grove Healthcare Center. She was patient, informative, and overall amazing. Since arriving, my mother is significantly better all around. Just the bright, and open layout of the facility has her happier. The friendliness and trusting demeanor of the stuff has her more relaxed and at ease. I would recommend Pacific Grove Healthcare Center to anyone looking for a top notch Skilled Nursing facility in the Monterey area. You and your loved ones are in great hands here!!! Thank you again Pacific Grove Healthcare Center, & Mariah for everything!"

"Bonjour! We have been so happy with our stay at Cypress Ridge thus far. It is hard enough to need medical care during these trying times, but they have gone above and beyond to make the stay remarkable. We especially appreciate the visitation offered, both indoor and outdoor. It makes us all feel so safe knowing the precautions being taken to keep everyone healthy but not preventing the needed in-person visits that allow us all to thrive. There are so many unique seating areas outdoors with comfortable chairs and privacy so we can have visits and take photos. Even the food here is good, its not Cannery Row good, but for a hospital setting they really know what they are doing with the restrictions needed for a healthy menu. We are so happy that we chose this facility based on the word of mouth and online presence, its out first time needing this level of care. I know we would not be heading back home to Pebble Beach without the short stay and therapy time here at Cypress Ridge first. Thank you all!"
