The Best Communities in Santa Maria, CA

"I like what I saw at Country Oaks Care Center. It was very clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have activities for the residents. It's expensive, but I'm satisfied with it. My stepmother did not have any complaint. They keep me posted if there were any problems."

"My mom is currently staying at Marian Extended Care Center, and I would rate them the highest. I do like them. It's clean, they keep the facility up to date, and the kitchen areas seem very clean too. Just that it bothers me sometimes when they get in a hurry when they want to give her a sunbath or whatever. She says the food is good though and the place is quieter than the other one, and some of the staff are very helpful, but some are very snotty. They seem to be up to par on her medications, and they keep me more updated than the other place did. Since the COVID thing, I don't think they really had any activities as of now, but I know at one time, they used to take them out in the patio area and let them sit out there and refresh in the sun. I don't know if they even let them do that now."

"Zeny's RCFE #1 is an end-of-life place and not a place you'd go if you're sound of mind or if you're social. The living space is very small, and it's like they bought a house from the 60s that hasn't been updated since. They haven't put money into the house other than to maintain what's already there. I'd never recommend it for anybody who still had their mobility or cognitive behavior. Everything was really small and dark. The folks who were already there were quiet in mind. The person who toured us around was very nice, generous with his time and answered our questions."

"Villa Care Home I was good and we didn't have any problems. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The dining room only had a kitchen table. It was average."

"I like Merrill Gardens at Santa Maria. It was equipped with everything. It was more like a home or an apartment. They had a single bedroom. It was a nice sized bedroom and a nice sized living room. The two-bedroom apartment had a larger refrigerator. It was bigger and very nice. I like the grounds. It's very clean. There were no odors or smells. They had a very large balcony that was enclosed. If you had animals, it was a great place for dog run. And you could put your furniture out on it. The staff members were very polite, positive, and informative. But they would recommend me to someone else to explain other things, like the pricing and how to financially handle things. They had a beauty salon and a movie theater with a large screen and individual chairs. They showed movies on certain days of the week, which was nice. They had a craft room. They had rooms which had a long table if you wanted to have guests over. The chefs there would cook the food for them. The menu was good. Everyone that I ran into seemed very happy to be there. It was laid out very well. It was a large place. The two-bedroom apartment had a washing machine and dryer in it, which I liked, but it was a small one. If you had larger loads, they had an area where you could go with larger machines and wash, like comforters. They are in the process of updating their decor, so keeping up with that, the price is kind of high too."

"We've been living in Quail Meadows East for 13 years. It's a very nice community. People are friendly. We have a clubhouse and a pool, and they have activities. They're modular homes. They have a foundation, and they're anchored to the ground. There are different varieties from 1200 to 2000 square feet, with 2 to 3 bedrooms. They have backyards and front yards, and two, and three-car garages. They have a manager and groundskeepers that do the grounds that are not part of the houses, like the club area. We have our own clubhouse. They have dinners, bingo, exercise programs, and different activities. They have a library. It's a gated community. The rent keeps going up, so that's the only complaint I have."

"My mother is at Hillview Residence. My friend's parents are there as well, so they're very good. Hopefully, she's gonna be short-term, so she can go back home. It's been family-owned for over 35 years and they're local. The owners live down the street from me and I didn't know that. The staff has been there long-term as well, and they're all very friendly, very detailed, precise, and caring. They have two dining rooms and they looked nice. Her room is nice. So far, so good. Everything looks nice and clean. They have activities every day during the week like music, crafts or bingo. She's only been there a couple of days. So far, everybody is very good. The facility is very nice. They have a very nice outdoor area. They're doing good so far."

"I am living at Hummel Village Retirement. They have free housekeeping, meals, utilities, and gardening service. There is a community room, which crafts are done and other things. Their staff are very nice and the food is very good. It’s really like home cooking. Everyone likes the menu. "

"My mother-in-law lived at Magnolia and Primrose for 6 months before she passed and I have nothing but praise for the facility, the owners and especially the staff! They were all caring and loving individuals who provided great care, and grieved along with us when she passed away! "

"We went to AAA Kindness Care Home. It was fine, but I think it's out of our price range. I can't say anything negative about it. It was very nice. It was very clean. The people were very friendly. She did interact with the residents as we were walking around, as she was showing us things, and she explained everything. She answered all of our questions, and she showed us rooms, and everything seemed very nice. They do not have transportation services for the residents, so they don't go on any outings, which was one of the things that we liked about the other two places that we visited. It's very nicely arranged, it's very open. Most of the rooms have outdoor access so they can go out on their patio, which is nice. And the views are just amazing."

"My mom has been at Alder House for four months now. It's very good. It's very home-like, and the employees are unbelievable. It has been a wonderful fit for my mother. They have to take her to the bathroom, and they have to help her get dressed. It's an assisted living residence place. Their employees are very, very thoughtful and very caring. My mom never waits for anything. I have absolutely no complaints of any kind. The rooms are very nice. It's carpeted. She has her own outside door and big windows. It's very comfortable. My mom has no complaints at all about the food and neither do I. The cook will do anything special or change anything. Anything he has, she can have. The dining area is very nice. It's a very warm room with lots of windows that face the patio. The tables are nice. There are wooden tables and chairs and lots of nice pictures. For activities, they play bingo, they have lots of games, they have a puzzle table, they have a movie of the week, and they have musical entertainment a couple of times a month. They have a game room, and they do exercises a couple of days a week. I would recommend it to anybody."
