My mom is staying at Lytton Gardens. It's reasonably priced and convenient. They treat my mom consistently well. The staff members are good. The food is average. The quality is good, if not exceptional. It's nutritious, but not overly flavorful. They have games, movies, and trips. The facility is old but well-kept.

Lytton Gardens is more of a public housing run by housing and urban development. There are some restrictions and limitations. It's very motel-hotel like and a little bit darkish in the hallways. Maybe not as well staffed as the other places. It is a public house considered a public housing venue, so it is federally run with federal guidelines. I believe obviously that's going to be the least expensive of everywhere we went. It's not some place I would want to send mom, if I can afford to send mom to some other places. If there was more of a financial burden on my family or on my mother's estate, I would consider Lytton gardens. Their services are what I would call standard, and it's affordable for sure. The rooms were clean, a little bit darkish, but the 1-bedrooms were very spacious. I don't believe they have very much in the way of activity. You're sort of getting what you pay for them. Lytton Gardens is more and more on the inexpensive side. You're not going to get as much. You won't get the little bistro in your community that had sandwiches and soup and drinks all day long, espressos, and that sort. You are in downtown Palo Alto, and in all fairness, you are just a short walk; but if you can't walk anymore, then that's sort of a moot point.

My mother has moved into Lytton Gardens. The care that she's being given is very detailed and correct, especially in this time of the pandemic. The facility is very clean, and they have maintenance people that can help cater some items for her. They've got very beautiful grounds, and she can take walks within it without having to go outside the community. The food is excellent. Their business department has been very good, and very quick to get her in within a month. She has a studio apartment, but they have a variety. Their activities are varied depending on the pandemic. Right now, California is doing well, so she has chair exercises and they even manage luncheon meetings, but with appropriately placed chairs and things. They have bingo. We were pleasantly surprised with this facility. They have a doctor and a nurse there, and lots of staff support. They bring the food to their rooms, which is nice because of COVID-19. She has not just regular American food; they make some nice, fancy things, desserts, and vegetables. They have five or six items for each meal. It's an older building, so there are long narrow hallways, but it's oriented to the outside. She has a little patio she can sit in on the ground floor. They had a number of things before the pandemic hit, and now it's minimal.

Staff is caring and responsive. Management seems to be far too focused on cutting costs. My mother uses personal computer to stay socially active but management is highly unresponsive to complaints about erratic internet connectivity. No options other than provided wireless are available. Sad.

My parents are on a waiting list for Lytton Gardens. The apartment we’ve seen was a studio, and it was clean, well kept, nice, and has a little kitchen. It was adequate. They should change the carpeting in the hallway. It felt unstable to me, like there’s extra padding underneath. They have an exercise program and a meal program, which is really good. I didn’t see any crying or miserable people.

We're still on the waiting list in Lytton Gardens. My mom chose this facility because she can afford it. They have plenty of activities for her. They have someone help her with her medication on a daily basis. Also she will get three meals a day.
