Assisted Living Reviews for The Terraces at Park Marino

The facilities are lovely in all respects. But what really stood out for me and my family was the wonderful, caring and attentive staff, without exception. The gentle, understanding care they provided our mother was more than you could hope for. You can rest easy knowing that your loved one is in very good hands.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very proud of our staff and for them to be recognized for all their hard work and dedication means so much. I'll be sure to pass along your well deserved compliments. It will make their day!

We chose The Terraces at Park Marino for my father. The staff seemed really friendly, happy, and very helpful. The atmosphere was nice. The residents seemed to enjoy being there as well. We saw a studio apartment and that would be perfect. It had a nice view of the mountains. This was in a nice location and it was very clean. They were all very helpful and very friendly, especially the marketing manager. They had a lot of different activities, so I liked that. Everything was very well put together. It was very cozy. I was hoping to do it sooner, but my father seems to be having trouble with the G-tube. They won't take him until the G-tube is out.

Provider Response

Julie, thank you so much for your kind words about The Terraces at Park Marino! We are honored that you have entrusted your dad's care to us. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you, your dad and the rest of your family to our family! :)

My dad is moving into The Terraces at Park Marino. The rooms are bigger. The staff is wonderful. Everything is bright and cheerful. They have all kinds of activities socially distanced with masks. I spoke to some residents and they said the food is really good. The chef has been there for 20 years.

Provider Response

Cathy, thank you so much for your kind words. We can't wait to have your dad as a new member of the Terraces family and look forward to serving him!

Our overall experience having mom at The Terraces at Park Marino has been good. The staff is really nice; we're still trying to get to know them, but so far everybody has been nice. Her apartment there is really nice, and it has a really good homey feeling. It feels more like a home, not too elegant, but it's really nice, clean, and safe/secure-looking. I haven't tried their food but my mom seems very satisfied with it.

Provider Response

We're so glad that your mom is having a positive experience at The Terraces! We strive to create an environment that is homey and the culture of the community is very family-like. We look forward to serving your mom for the entirety of her stay with us. Thank you again for such a nice review.

I was hesitant to give up my home and what I believed was my independence, but now I have people to help, socialize with, and I don't worry about housework and yardwork any longer. My only regret is that I did not choose this two years ago since I have met my new best friends at The Terrace. The parking is not optimal but they will park your car if you ask them to at the front desk. The food is far superior than other places I tried when looking for a retirement home. The staff, from the housekeepers to the management staff, are truly concerned with my well being and make it feel more like a family home than an institution. I love my apartment and my view and especially, as mentioned, all my new friends young and old.

I was at The Terraces at Park Marino for three months. All they had available for me was a small studio apartment. The appearance wasn't very good. It's a long, slender building and they just didn't have enough parking for people. It didn't have very nice grounds to stroll in, and they were very small. The staff was very nice, but they didn't have very good medical attention or respondents. The food was good. They had a very nice dining room with a fireplace, exercise, knitting, and bridge classes. The facility itself was not in a very good location and entrance wasn't very nice.

Provider Response

We would welcome you to return and have a tour of the Terraces at Park Marino to refresh your memory of our quite spacious outdoor courtyards, our beautiful views and walking paths all around the property. While you were here with us we did not have any available one bedrooms, and you were first on our waiting list! We now have one bedroom apartments available that would offer you the amount of space that you require. If you are in need of assistance at this time, we have more than adequate caregivers available to provide that to those residents who do need care. Thank you again for your positive review on Caring.com!

The Terraces at Park Marino are very homey feeling. The rooms were quite nice sized with sensible bathrooms and a kitchenette. They were well appointed and you could bring your own furniture. They had a nice dining room, very nice green areas, and plenty of activities. It was the first place we looked at. The person who took us around was very helpful and very informative. There was nice artwork around. The furnishings were very comfortable. There were several different gathering places. It didn't feel like I was in a hotel, it felt more like a living room. Even though it was open in the hallways, it was something my mother would be very comfortable with. However, she wouldn't be able to go there because she has certain health issues. She would need someone to give her insulin, and they don't have full-time on-staff nurses that do that. They don't have that licensing.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for the lovely comments on our community! The Terraces at Park Marino does have a nurse, but you are correct that because our nurse is not here 24/7 we can't do injections for insulin dependent diabetics. We have had some residents that used an outside source for injections, but that is of course, a personal decision. We thank you so much for touring and your positive responses to our beautiful Community!

I found The Terraces at Park Marino to be very welcoming and fairly easy to work with. The woman who does community outreach and marketing and the one that I spoke to when we were looking at the place was really helpful and able to answer all of our questions. The director and the business office personnel were all great to work with as well. They’re all super helpful, easy to talk to, and easy to find. We’re experiencing some turnover in the staff, and it’s a little unsettling for the residents there because they want things to stay the same. My mom is really enjoying the place. I’m enjoying knowing that she’s been taken care of and that the staff there is taking care of her. She’s happy, busy, and active and has a great social life. She’s going out to the store with them. It has worked out really well.

I was quite impressed with The Terraces at Park Marino. It is a good place, and the people were wonderful. My mother was a vegetarian, and they do have vegetarian items on their menu. The place was excellent. It was clean.

We visited The Terraces at Park Marino, and they were offering more programs in line toward someone that has mild dementia, which would be better for my father. It's in a nice location. It was very nice, well organized, well run, and very clean. I liked it a lot. They had a lot of activities. The rooms were very nice, very airy, and a lot of light coming in. It was near the mountains, and it had a courtyard. It was a little more money than some of the others, but it worked for me because it was the easiest to get to.

The Terraces was clean, and the front office staff as well as support staff was knowledgeable. The clients or the other individuals who were there seemed happy. It just looked like a pleasant place to live. I didn’t see a lot of people on their own or sitting on their own unless they wanted to. People were engaged. I saw a studio and a 1-bedroom, and it was comfortable. I didn’t see the food, but the menu looked appetizing. The nutritional value of the selection looked more than adequate. The day that I was there, they had a fashion show, and the residents were going to the models. I thought that was quite unique.

The Terraces at Park Marino was really good. It is one of our top choices. We liked the rooms, the facility, the view, and the things they offer. My brother took my mom to go eat there, and he said the food was not very good. The staff that assisted us was awesome. What impressed us most were the location and the residents. Everybody seemed really happy and nice. One thing they can improve on would be the food.

I like the residents, but I think the décor is a little old. The Terraces at Park Marino was very nice and new, but I personally didn’t find it very attractive. The rooms were OK, and I talked to a lot of residents who seemed to be very happy. It was homey, but the food wasn’t that attractive. The ground is very nice, and you have a nice view of the mountains. There was a big theatre again, and they have a schedule of activities by their activity manager.

The Terraces was a great place and I thought it was lovely. I love everything about it. It was clean, warm and furnished. The people who lived there that we had talked with looked happy. However, it was really far away from where we were and it was more expensive.

This is an assisted living facility for seniors that need assistance with their care. While I was only visiting a limited time, I heard others express their praise and worries. While the apartments and scenrey were nice, there were some complaints about the food and the nursing care from residents and their families. The main complain about the food was that it was mundane and repetitive, though of course I didn't witness this as much firsthand. The seating seemed to be set like it is in elementary school classrooms rather than letting people choose on their own. This seemed limiting though I suppose some of the residents may have required that kind of facility. One of the other visiting family members said that they were becoming concerned about the nursing care. While some of the nurses were very dedicated to the welfare of the residents, some did not care for the requests and instructions of the families and other medical professionals. There were even stories of not receiving medication, though this may have been word of mouth. Other than that, most of the staff was nice but I would want to investigate this place further before living there myself.

or the last four years of her life, my grandmother lived and enjoyed her life at the Terraces at Park Marino. We had visted and experienced other assisted living facilities before choosing the Terraces - they provided a better atmosphere than most. The majority of the seniors I had wittnessed were walking about, chatting, or playing board games. It had the essence of a retirement instead of the feel of an assissted living facility. The staff seemed warm and youthful, and were generally quick to get things done. The staff was also coherent and fluent, which is a benefit to their patrons who have trouble communicating due to old age (including my grandmother). The facility itself is not very old and all the utilities are up to date. The rooms have balconies with a view of the mountains which really give it a hotel type of feel. The staff and medical staff appeared to be capable - and the building itself has special elecavatrs and rooms for staff use, hidden from the occupants. At times, I did feel that the younger staff was somewhat impatient/inexperienced, and might seem to be rushing in the eyes of their older patrons. Other than that, the entire facility is a tight-knit group - setup in a beautiful area.

We visited the Terraces at Park Marino in Pasadena as an assisted living option for my friend's mother. We could see that it was a very tranquil community, right at the foot of San Gabriel's beautiful mountains. The location is very convenient to all that Pasadena offers, from nature to vibrant city culture. We thought the surroundings looked very safe - and the woods smelled very fresh. There were many seating areas for residents and their friends and family to enjoy. The interior foyer and visiting section very nicely decorated. They can accommodate varies levels of ambulation. Each private residence featured spacious rooms, safety designed bathrooms, and convenient kitchenettes. The meals looked and smelled really delicious. Snacks are also available whenever residents desire them. The menus included food options for all kinds of dietary needs and desires The many large communal spaces offered a variety of activities, from word, card games and bingo, to crafts, painting and other workshops, They also host tea parties, Ice cream socials, park picnics and a happy hour every Friday, with live entertainment. There were also rooms to reserved for residents to spend time with their friends and family. They offered Tai Chi and other exercise classes. Physical activity is encouraged as much as possible. There are also many opportunities to go on nature walks and explore the lovely grounds daily. The residents get to enjoy the tranquility of the facility, but also have access to all of the cultural events in beautiful Pasadena. This is a well-thought out facility with home-style, assisted living in a caring and attentive environment. Everyone here seemed very well taken care of and happy with their lives.
