Foothill Retirement feels like home. There's a community living area and community dining. My mother could be in the room with somebody or she could have her own private room, which she does. She has a complete walk-in shower and a pull-down seat, but there's also a handicap chair. There are handicap railings all around the room, and they supplied all the furniture. She's in the memory care unit level 1, but she needs help with bathing and toileting. The staff is wonderful and dealt with my concerns right away. They have assigned seating in the dining room, and there are four people to a table. They feed them between 7:30 and 9:30 in the morning and lunch is at 11:30. They have a variety of food like brisket, salad, and pasta, and it seems pretty good. She's not in the locked up section. She can move around, but the whole place is secure. It's an old facility, but I love the gardens. They take them on activities, they went to the Long Beach Pier, to lunch and to the park, they exercise every day, they do painting, and they have reading and entertainment. They have parties and they bring in old cars and have barbecues out in the garden.

I liked Foothill Retirement. It was my first choice. I liked the staff, the facility, and the level of care. The staff was very friendly, and the facility was beautiful. The rooms were adequate. My mom would be going to the memory care unit and I walked away from there really pleased and thinking that would possibly be the route we would go. The facility looked lovely, and the people were very nice.

I don’t think that Foothill Retirement is for my cousin. The people who live there were either advanced in age or in need of a lot of assistance, and he does not require any of that, so the environment is not conducive to him. They had food and activities. There were people in the dining room having a sing-along. My cousin is a beach bum who still rides bicycles, has a lot of friends, and goes to Starbucks every day, so is not advanced like the other people who are there. It is a fine place for somebody who requires that kind of service.

Foothill Retirement is convenient, and once my husband got there he began to like it. It is a nice place, and the people are really nice. The staff is really just superb. I couldn't ask for better -- they're just terrific. They tend to be very loving people, and they will give you their time if you need it. They are very friendly and seem to be very outgoing. The food is good -- I can't complain about that. They have a TV there, they have magazines, and they play cards and different kinds of games. The best thing about this place is probably the people.

After visiting so many communities in the area, I have found the one!! Can't wait for my mom to move in.
