San Dimas Retirement Center

I toured San Dimas Retirement Center. It's a lovely facility. It's not a new one, but it was well-kept. It was pleasant when you walked in. The young lady who assisted me was very forthcoming and very accommodating. She gave me the information, gave me the fliers, and gave me the tour. I saw one of the large rooms. They had a large calendar with all the activities. They're very thorough when they check you in because you have to be seen by the nurse and the administrator, and it's a whole process. They seemed like a family. The grounds were beautiful. The shopping center is across the street, and there's one adjacent to the parking lot, so you can walk there. Food places are all around. It's a beautiful area. The dining room was adequate and pretty. They have a regular patio and a patio for smokers.

San Dimas Retirement Center is wonderful. My mom is in the memory care. They're able to be outdoors in fresh air and do a lot of activities. The rooms could probably be nicer, but that's just my preference. The staff is great and plentiful, and always aware, very friendly, and engage very well with the residents. They have a library, activities room, TV room, and a cafeteria. They keep them entertained with music and constantly offer them water. My mom's room is fair.

The staff at San Dimas Retirement Center has been very helpful. My mom is transitioning pretty well. The prices are all right for such a clean facility. My mom keeps on commenting about how much she likes the food. They have a lot of activities going on.

I have found a facility for my mother named San Dimas Retirement Center. It is nice. There are two sections in the facility. For assisted living, it is extremely nice. Everything has been redone and remodeled. The rooms are very nice. Everything is very nice. The only problem I have is with the Dementia section where my mother is located. It is not as well kept up. The care is good, but it just isn't as nice looking. The food isn't that great either. On both sections, the food could be a little bit better and a little bit fresher. Instead of just canned goods, more vegetables and better variety. Other than that, it is nice. They keep them up nice. The rooms are clean. It is very nice, and I have nothing to say about that. The only thing I don't really care for is that it is not as nice as the assisted living space. The people there are extremely nice. They are very helpful. I have nothing bad to say about that. The Dementia care section is a locked down facility. It is gated, and you have to ring a bell in order to get in. You have to sign in and sign out. Another reason I picked this place is because my sister-in-law is here. I thought it would be nice if they were together.

My brother is in the dementia unit at San Dimas Retirement Center. It's fine and clean. It recently had some restoration done. He shares a room with a roommate. The room is not spacious, but it is good enough. They also share a bathroom with another room. The food is okay and he has not complained about it. The dining area is clean and it seems like everybody is enjoying the food. My brother watches a lot of TV and I know they have activity where they sing along with them. We are happy with it.

My brother is in the dementia unit at San Dimas Retirement Center. They have a secure unit for people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. I needed a place that will eventually accept MediCal when his funds get low enough, and this place has what you call a MediCal waiver. They are often very helpful. My brother would rather be home; he doesn't understand that he has to be there and that he can't take care of himself, so they are being very patient with him, and so far everything is OK. And, the price of this place was a little lower than a lot of places. It is just a plain room, and he does have to share a bathroom with another room. He has a roommate, so it's two to a room, and his roommate has a television set. So my brother spends a lot of time with his roommate while they both sit there and watch television. I think the food is OK. My brother doesn't complain about it too much. With his condition, of course, he is not going to be very positive about anything because of the dementia, but he is getting used to it, and I think it is all going to work out. Generally, I like the place, and I think that is where he is going to be staying.
