Cadence at Rancho Cucamonga

We went to Cadence at Rancho Cucamonga. It was one of the top two. What it came down to for us, was location and pricing. So the actual esthetics, decor, and update of cadence were nice. We liked how their floor plan was, and their rooms were a lot more than the other place. But the issue for my parents is that they are still Kaiser patients and the Kaiser that they went to, where their primary doctors are, happens to be closer to Chino than Rancho Cucamonga. So that was more convenient for transportation purposes. And then Cadence was more expensive. As soon as you got to higher levels of care, and the prices increased astronomically to where those higher levels of care started occurring, that was going to be out of my parent's price range if they both got to level five. The add-ons were astronomical. We love Cadence, we love the staff, we love the activities, we loved everything about it, and they could afford probably everything up to level three. But as soon as you start getting to level four and level five, it's triple the rent, and that was going to be too much. They had a lot of activities. They had a lot of amenities. You're paying for what you get. The place was the cleanest. The staff were amazing. They had physical activities. When we were there, they had a musician there, so they have music activities, they have arts, they have field trips, and the activities are fantastic. We didn't get to eat the food. However, they were trying to get us to eat it, so it looked amazing, and the dining hall was beautiful.

Cadence at Rancho Cucamonga is one of the places that I've visited that is excellent. It was more expensive and the facilities were not as nice. It wasn't as luxurious as far as the outside, and the grounds were not as nice as the one we chose for my parents. Their rooms were really nice, and the staff was excellent. There was no pool. It was on the corner, which was kind of an unsafe area. It's on a corner with lots of traffic. Since my dad drives, I wanted him to be in an area where it was a safer or more residential type neighborhood. It's an assisted living; it also has independent living, as well as memory care. The courtyard was kind of ugly. It had desert plants, and I told them that they should have planted more luscious pretty flowers. That was my only complaint; otherwise, it was all great. The food wasn't that great. It was mediocre.
