Steve 2019-12-15 I have moved into Sonoma Retirement Community. It was the lowest priced community of all the places I looked at and yet it was the best in my opinion. The apartments are beautiful. and the services I get are excellent. In Santa Rosa, the average price was $2,000 higher than what I'm paying here. They have the typical recreational services. and they have art programs. I have this lower back problem which makes it hard for me to walk now, and they make it available for you to arrange for physical therapy. They also have staff people to help with prescription. I am/was a resident of this facility

Vickie 2019-06-24 Our tour of Sonoma Retirement Community was great. The staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating. The amenities are great for a place like that. You get everything all included. The quality of the place itself is immaculate. They have lots of activities. It is a nice place. They have studios, 1-bedroom apartments, and 2-bedroom-up-to-2-bathroom apartments. They have a small library, an exercise room, and a room where they have gatherings and show films. They do quilting on site, you can sign up for trips, and you can sign up to have the van take you to your regular appointments, go get prescriptions, and do your grocery shopping. On the weekends, they have car shows, barbeques, and small parties. I saw the food, and it looked really good. I visited this facility

A.C. 2018-08-10 I have been a resident of Brookdale Sonoma. I was really comfortable with it. I do graphics stuff and poetry, and they have activities to meet my needs. Physically, it was an OK place, and located in the part of town that provides a lot of activities, such as food places outside the campus. It was physically attractive and socially pleasant, and so I was happy there. The food was fine, as well as the variety and the quantity, and it was satisfactory and healthy. The staff was fine and I was comfortable with them. I am/was a resident of this facility

SL 2017-11-27 The location of Brookdale is great. It's an older facility and a little beat up, but they're remodeling right now. The assisted living was in one wing and not as pretty. I visited this facility

Kathleen112916650 2015-09-07 I like that there is a lot of greenery, a lot of shade, and a lot of outdoor space at Brookdale Sonoma for my mom. She is in a one-bedroom, so she has a bedroom, a full kitchen, a bathroom, and a living room. I ate there last week, and the food was great. She is very happy there. She plays bingo in the morning, and she does bridge in the afternoon. They also take them on bus trips to different places. I would recommend it. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring106386050 2015-05-04 Everything was nice about Brookdale Sonoma. The only thing that we chose not to go there is, one, because my mom would still be in Sonoma, she would not be where we are. The other thing too was if dementia set in and whatever, they did not have a transition to memory care. They don't have a memory care unit, and that would mean another big physical move and the fact that she would still be 12 hours away from us, it was better for us to have her here at the same time. But the facility itself was very nice and very nicely appointed. That they stressed independent and then assisted, so people are more lively because people are more active. We did see the room; you can get a one-bedroom unit and so forth. They were a bit pricey. To me, the facility was very clean and very well-landscaped. The landscaping was very nice, so if you were independent and able to move around -- especially in Sonoma where the weather is conducive to being outdoors -- it was very nicely done with areas to sit and all of that. That we thought was very nicely done. The staff that we met was the marketing staff, and they were very nice. We just saw a few other employees, and they were all smiles, but we didn’t converse with them. I visited this facility

Kathy98138250 2014-12-08 Mom moved in a few months ago at Emeritus at Sonoma. I like the location and the feel of the facility. The price also is affordable for us. The staff is excellent, and the food is fairly great. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring102311350 2014-11-29 We chose Emeritus of Sonoma for my wife, but currently we are on their waiting list as they don’t have any two-bedroom availability yet. I like the location of facility, and their food was satisfactory. I visited this facility

Kathy 2020-10-21 I really liked Cogir of Sonoma Senior Living. It seemed newer, and I loved the location. The inside was very nice. The apartments were very updated, and it's an open concept. The staff was excellent. The facility was outstanding. It was beautiful. I visited this facility

JB 2020-04-13 Sonoma is the one I would move to if I decided to move. It was excellent. They're very attentive. I was also very impressed that our server was knowledgeable about the wine that was served. The head of their sales and marketing was extremely helpful. After I did the tour and really contemplated the possibility of moving in, I called and asked if they had a floorplan that showed the actual dimensions and that was promptly furnished. I'm very favorably impressed with it. The dining area was excellent and the food was outstanding. The apartments were nicely done. I would have liked it if they have college level classes for continuing education, but that would be the only significant deficit that I could point to. It was not a huge issue; I could manage to attend some such classes elsewhere. Overall, I am very favorably impressed. I visited this facility

Harold 2019-01-25 I liked Brookdale Sonoma. It was quite attractive; I was well received. They were making some preparations for the Christmas decorations, and a lot of people were participating. The staff was very positive; I was satisfied. I liked the location and the rooms. The pricing is fair. Brookdale Sonoma would be my first choice of the ones I visited. I visited this facility

SRM 2018-05-04 Brookdale Sonoma is very pretty, the staff is very helpful, and the food is great. I really love my apartment, and they have a lot of activities and lectures for the residents. They have a lawn with nice landscaping and assigned parking with signs as well. I visited this facility

Cathy707 2015-01-23 Went to look at the facility. I was inquiring for my mother but I wasn't sure to what was best for her. I thought I know a lot about senior living but I was wrong. I felt so much better when I left the facility after I met with the sales rep at Emeritus. The person I talked too was very kind to show me around the facility, if it was possible, I would have moved my mother there but unfortunately my mother has dementia and needed a different setting. I am impressed with the people who works there, the people who resides there and the location of the facility. I visited this facility

bre2123 2012-06-22 I visited the Sonoma facility, and I enjoyed it immensely! It was so beautiful, with the gardens, and trees surrounding it. It was even beautiful inside. I spoke with most of the staff, and they enjoyed their jobs there. They also tend to love speaking with people, it's one of the only places that I visited that weren't overrun with people, and not enough help, though of course this place was made mostly for the rich people so I could never afford it, but I enjoyed visiting it all the same. My grandmother would have loved to live there, being that she has Alzheimer's she is losing her memories, and mind faster than we had hoped so it is becoming too difficult to take care of her anymore, and she would have loved the view that she would get from one of the rooms within the care facility, I believe anyone would be happy there. I visited this facility

commercesd 2012-06-14 Knowing that we would be in the area, we decided to make an appointment to see Merrill Gardens at Sonoma. The grounds were all well manicured with plenty of areas for residents to enjoy. Even though it was raining, we could see that it would be a great place to spend time. We've always liked that area and our aunt had expressed that she liked it as well. Our family has members spread through California, so this location would be ideal for visiting her. We really liked how well the staff was prepared for our visit. They had taken the time to find out about our aunt and the things she likes. We were shown all of the common areas, all of which were really nice. There were plenty of scheduled and non-scheduled activities to choose from. For example, our aunt really likes to read and they had a book club discussion going on with a member of the local library. This is an activity that our aunt really loves. The private housing options were all lovely and looked like they had been personalized. We were told that a decorator works with staff and residents to update them regularly to keep them fresh. The dining room was really lovely as were all the adjacent communal areas. The guest lunch meal that we saw looked and smelled really great. The snacks offered include everything from specially designed and prepared baked goods (geared toward health) to fruits, vegetables and delicious puddings. Despite the fact that they were made to be healthy, they all tasted really good. Merrill Gardens at Sonoma was a really nice assisted living facility that was well designed and seemd very accommodating for all of the seniors that live there. I visited this facility
