Tiffany 2022-01-02 I went to look at Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living. I like this place. It is my top choice if it will work out. It seemed clean. The staff was great. I was impressed with it. The staff members were really helpful and knowledgeable. Even though this is taking way longer than I was hoping it would take, they keep reaching out to me just to follow up and see if there's anything they can do to help. So they've been great. I didn't try the food, but I saw pictures of it, and it looked really good. It looks like they keep people busy. The rooms are really big and have lots of storage. Everything was refurbished, so it was all like brand new. And they had a nice little patio area. I visited this facility

Anita 2021-08-12 The staff at Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living are all wonderful. They all try to help you in any way they can. My sister is picky with her food, but she's been eating it and she enjoys it. She likes some of them, and some she doesn't like. They have entertainment once a week, and they have nighttime entertainment for about an hour. It's really nice. We enjoyed that too. We took her down there, and we listened. They had a band that played rock and roll music, and all the folks were dancing (for the ones that could walk). Several had their walkers, and it was really cute. They have that once a week, and tomorrow they're having a barbecue and music. We can join them at the barbecue or listen to music, so its very family orientated. They have bingo and all sorts of little things for them to do. They have a library. They've got a little store, where they sell stuff. They can to come in and buy little things, so it's nice. We really enjoyed it. The assisted living has a good price. She got a smaller unit with a living room herself. It has a kitchen, 1-bedroom, and bathroom with a shower. It's very nice, and every Friday they have house cleaning. You have to bring your own furniture because they don't furnish them. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

RSR 2021-02-15 Rooms are very nice, ample size. Staff is very supportive and communicates very well. We especially appreciate the kindness and community spirit as shown by the recent inclusion of family members when the CoVid vaccine was given at the facility. Knowing that such caring people are keeping an eye on my mother-in-law makes it so much easier for my husband to relax. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Debi Sells 2021-02-05 My mother has lived here since October 2019. She started in Independent Living until the need for her to move into the Assisted Living section June 2020. The staff went over and beyond to assist with the seamless transition. We are so happy with the attentive care mom receives on a daily basis. The staff demonstrates , compassion , patience, and genuine interests in her everyday needs. Most important is the follow up with her various medical needs. The beautiful setting , location ,and remodeled apartments were one of many reasons we choice Cogir Vacaville . I visited this facility

MandarinCircle 2020-10-01 My mom has been living at the Cogir facility, first in independent and more recently in assisted living. There are three questions I ask myself to validate whether my mom is in the right place: is she safe, is she loved, is she known. The answer to all three is a definite YES! And, in addition to this, Assisted Living brings a welcomed level of discipline to her care (medications, health history, support) that I was unable to manage myself. Knowing my mom is at the right place has greatly reduced my own personal stress as well. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

They hadn't connected the frame. *They never cleaned the patio--so many spider webs, she had large spider in bed. *Employee did not close catheter bag, and it leaked all over carpet all night. They had nothing to help absorb it and had housekeeping vacuum. Odor was terrible *after complaints they shampooed carpet making it so wet, she slipped. *final straw was a cockroach in her ear.

Donna 2018-06-25 Brookdale Vacaville Leisure Town is where we are hoping to go. The staff was wonderful and the lady from marketing was the best. She calls me usually once a week to see how my husband is. It's affordable for us. The apartments were very nice, different sizes, very clean, and well kept. They offer rides to doctors' appointments and the usual shopping. The food was very good. I visited this facility

Don 2018-03-14 Brookdale Vacaville Leisure Town was alright. They were friendly enough and tried to show me everything that I wanted to see, but I just thought that the staff where I am now is friendlier and more helpful. The residents there go on trips once in a while, and they also have a bus. I visited this facility

Peggy 2017-08-21 My tour of Brookdale of Vacaville was really good. The only drawback was that it was a lot more congested in that area. There wasn't a quiet, relaxed feeling about it, and we are trying to find something in a somewhat quaint neighborhood. I like the apartments and the food. They had a nice outdoor courtyard. We had a good lunch, and there was a selection from the menus. They had a lot of different types of activities going on. There were a lot of amenities nearby for shopping and things like that as well. I visited this facility

YGM 2016-02-29 I really like the size of the rooms at Brookdale in Vacaville California and I also like the people. The staff was friendly. I like the idea that they had dining services from 7Am to 7PM so to they weren’t set to a certain schedule, they have flexibility. I also liked that if they didn’t want to go to the dining room they could have food to their room as well. I didn’t have the opportunity to eat there but I saw what’s on the menu. They have activities and they also provide transportation to take you to events to the community. They were really good. They even came out and talk to my mother at the hospital before she was discharged. They followed up with me and they even talk to me. It was really good and very nice place. I visited this facility

Jill30 2015-12-16 The people at Brookdale Vacaville were very nice. They keep calling me and following up, and so I've been very pleased. One of the things that I liked was the patio or the deck. I prefer a ground floor, but the deck was upstairs. I've been to another one here in Vacaville that does not have that even though it's newer. I like having an outside space. The size of the room was good. Because it’s an older property, some of the bathrooms had a cut out tub rather than a roll-in shower, so that would be sort of an issue for us if we go and need to have the roll-in shower. The people were very friendly, very helpful, and seemed to be kind. I visited this facility

Caring111112050 2015-07-29 We put my father in Brookdale Vacaville Leisure Town for about a month and a half now. They make a lot of mistakes, but I think that is just human nature. He complains a lot about the food not being what he ordered. They keep delivering the wrong foods. He had to send it back and wait longer for the correct meal to come. He has an apartment, and we had a lot of problems with it too. The air conditioner was completely broken when we moved in. There were cockroaches coming out of the air conditioner and spiders all over the place. They did come in and treat it, but we should not have had to deal with it in the first place. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring95268450 2014-12-02 Emeritus was one of the places that we saw and approved of so far. The senior living arrangement was well thought out. The apartments had one or two bedrooms with nice floor plans. The grounds were very appealing. You had a feel of being rural even though you were in the city. They kept the ground very green. I also enjoyed the activities that they had for the seniors there. They presented a calendar of daily activities. I would recommend them. The staff was very welcoming. I visited this facility

Lorelie1 2014-06-26 My mom was at Emeritus at Leisure Town before. I liked it because they had a lot of activities, treated everybody really nicely, and it was clean and neat. In this particular one, you own your own home-like duplex, and then you could go into assisted living from there. They were wonderful, understanding, great cooks, and everybody helped all the time. The facility's swimming pool was neat and clean. They make sure that everybody who goes in there doesn't have any open sores. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Deborah23 2013-11-21 I like Merrill Gardens a lot. I like that all the rooms had at least small patios. Even the studio apartments had small patios, which would help because mostly I like the outdoor space. I also like the way the dining room was set up. The facility was a tiny bit less expensive but then they have what they call an association fee and that was a big wallop - that's a big money! When they take your application, you have to come up with that amount of money, plus the first and last months' rents, so overall, it was expensive to move in there. The staff was not as well organized as the one in Davis. It was a very busy facility and there were a lot of people doing things. However, I just felt like maybe there weren't enough people in the front office and that's just the impression I got. In terms of activities, in one area, they had games like bingo, etc., and then in the lobby area, there was a pianist and there residents sitting around in a sing-a-long. They also have a bus for their residents going someplace. I visited this facility

So Grateful A Daughter 2022-04-27 My mother was a resident and has just moved due to failed health and needing extreme nursing care. I am so grateful to Cogir for their care and provision to the residents at the lovely facility. The activities, dining, assistance to various needs, environment, and staff have been a blessing. We are grateful and would not hesitate to make it my/our future residence when the time comes. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Nancy 2022-04-04 I toured Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living and met Sandra, our wonderful tour guide. She did such a great job. Both my daughter and I could feel a rapport with her. The place was in great condition. They just replaced the siding, so it looked brand new. I really liked the mature trees, the landscaping, the grounds, the space in the rooms, and everything. Their closet was as big as I have. They even have a coat closet, and a kitchen which got all I needed (a two burner stove and a refrigerator). Some rooms have alcoves, too. She showed us an older unit and another one that had been updated. They put wood flooring in, carpeting, and stainless steel branded appliances. If somebody leaves, they go in and update it. I liked that it had recessed lighting and a nice sized patio. They didn't have a pool, but that's no big deal for me. She explained that the residents used the recreation center in Vacaville. They also have a small performing arts center, which Sandra said they arranged trips to. Then there's a washer-dryer in the unit and weekly house cleaning service (cleaning your room and changing your linens). Later that day after we finished the tour and everything, I got a really nice email from Sandra thanking my daughter and I for coming by. To me, that was a nice touch. I didn't hear any appreciation and follow up from anybody else. All three meals were provided. The dining area was an open seating. They have a set time, so it's not like you can go to lunch whenever you want, but they have a grab and go section if you just want to go down and get something. Transportation is available. There's a 20-passenger bus and a 3-passenger van. I visited this facility

Carol 2021-11-24 We went to look at Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living. We had a lovely experience. The staff took us around and showed us different rooms. She gave us all the information that we needed and a price list. She was very informative, showed us the activities, things that were in the facilities, and the dining room. The rooms were newly remodeled. They were painting in one of the rooms we were able to see. Everything looked clean. People were cleaning in the dining rooms. It's a really good experience. I think it's a nice place. They have outdoor spaces there. They all have patios. I like it because of the trees in the area. The staff said that was one of the reasons that kept them from having COVID there, that people had their own patios to go into. I saw a gentleman doing a puzzle in the hallway. They did have activities there. They had a store that you could shop in to get your little necessities without having to go out. The amenities are that they will take you anywhere that you want to go. They will take you to Walmart or the grocery store. I visited this facility

Bess 2021-11-07 Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living was very well-maintained and very luxurious. The grounds, the staff, and the rooms were very nice. The dining area was also very luxurious, very large, very light, and airy. We only saw a couple of rooms, but we liked them. They have a bingo game, a craft shop, and exercise rooms. It's all level, so no hills or anything. So, that was very nice. I visited this facility

Faye 2021-09-16 I like Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living because it is quiet, and the rooms are big and spacious. What I didn't like about it is, I'm 67, and I was informed that the average age of residents is like 70, 80. I'm not quite there. They had a kitchen, and I can't remember if they had a washer and dryer. I have seen the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. The 2-bedroom was huge. But I don't want to use all my money, I don't want to spend $3900 on the place to stay. The staff was perfect. They had a courtyard and a sitting area. I visited this facility

Juanita 2021-09-05 Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living seemed like a really nice community. Of the three that I looked at, I think probably this one or the one in the Fairfield, I would choose to live in. I liked the apartments. They were more spacious and more homey. They have more room than some of the others. The grounds were maintained nicely. They had good walking areas and a little yard, so I liked the outside. They didn't have a swimming pool, but they did have a large community covered patio. I liked the outside of that development. I like the person that gave the tour. She was very patient and very knowledgeable. I liked her. They were in the middle of changing the floor and stuff like that. They had some carpets that they are pulling out. As soon as they're done with that, it will be better. I visited this facility

MelindaN 2020-06-04 My mother moved in right before the pandemic lockdown. The staff did a good job keeping the residents safe. However, the food went from marginal to inedible. I have asked my mother to take pictures of the cold, unappealing, coagulated, grey food being served to her. We’ve had to buy a countertop convection oven, and have groceries delivered, so that she can eat. She has lost so much weight since she moved in. They won’t even provide a sandwich as an option, even though staff have told her that they would. This situation is disgraceful, and causing my mother to become depressed. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Mike 2020-01-01 The best fit for my mom was the Vacaville Retirement Community. The staff was excellent. We went multiple times and she took a lot of time with us. We get to see all the facilities. We like that the units have patios and there are still good spaces. They have transportation and they have all the services. There are many options and there is versatility amongst independent versus dependent. I was impressed with it. I visited this facility

Shirley 2018-06-06 My son and I toured Brookdale Vacaville Leisure Town. I enjoyed it. I liked the place and the rooms. They're much larger and I'm thinking of going there. There were outside activities that I could do. They showed me four different apartments, which were very good. The staff told us everything that we wanted to know and she was very thorough. We were very happy when we left. The facility was very clean. I would go there in a minute. I visited this facility

5 5 1

Stephanie 2017-07-17 Brookdale Vacaville Leisure Town was nice, and the rooms were nice but extremely small. They had a dining hall, a little gym area, library, gaming room, and an outdoor area where they could do activities. They had a shuttle to take them places if they have appointments. It was fairly expensive. The staff was very nice. I visited this facility

Kim404043 2017-01-02 Brookdale Vacaville is a great, wonderful place that's perfect for my dad. The staff seems great. He goes to eat every day, which is great, and walks around the place. He loves his room, which has an awesome view of the golf course. I wish they had reached out to him more and took it upon themselves to make sure he was shown around and follow through on their maintenance. They said they would repair some things and they have not. The staff is very welcoming. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Yvonne18 2014-10-06 I like that Emeritus has a campus-like setting and has a beautiful courtyard. I sampled a meal there, I liked the food as well as the snacks. They were not as expensive as the referrals I had here for Oakland and Burley. I only met with one of the directors who showed me around, so I didn’t get to see a lot of the staff. It’s a convenient location to me -- less than 5 minutes away -- and they gave me some reassurances that if it’s something the staff couldn’t handle I’m less than 5 minutes away from professional help. They showed me a calendar of the activities, the type of activities they have was for a different generation, most of the residents there are much older than I am. This area is for people over 55. They have balconies, patios, and I can walk through the community. If I want to go out of the room but not far, I can sit out at the patio or the deck. They allow pets which is a good thing, and some of the residents there have dogs they’re willing to share with other people. I visited this facility

Art7 2013-07-24 Merrill Gardens is an independent living. My dad has dementia so we decided to transfer him to another facility that is more secure, but the facility is great. I ate there a couple of times with my dad and the food was fantastic. The people were really nice. My dad's room was always clean. I think they clean the rooms once a week. He can wash his own clothes, but they would wash his sheets and beddings. I am a friend or relative of a resident

HoneyEeds 2012-12-11 My Mom just moved in here and she is enjoying all of the activities and the people she is around. There are a few issues with repairs getting done in a timely fashion, but the apartment itself is roomy (2 bedrooms) and has a small kitchen that my Mom enjoys. I am a friend or relative of a resident

My mom has been living at the Cogir facility, first in independent and more recently in assisted living. There are three questions I ask myself to validate whether my mom is in the right place: is she safe, is she loved, is she known. The answer to all three is a definite YES! And, in addition to this, Assisted Living brings a welcomed level of discipline to her care (medications, health history, support) that I was unable to manage myself. Knowing my mom is at the right place has greatly reduced my own personal stress as well.

Provider Response

Dear Mandarin Circle, I can't thank you enough for this heartwarming 5 Star Review! You brought us all to tears and we are grateful to you for taking the time out of your busy day to tell us about your experience. We at Cogir Senior Living are compassionately dedicated to the safety, enjoyment, and care of our residents. Each one of our families we treat like it was our own family and we always strive to be the best we can be. So many times people don't realize how stressful it can be to take care of a loved one, its not that we go into it thinking that way, but with all of us juggling so many things in life and in unprecedented times, its a lot! We are here to support our families, take loving care of the loved ones, and we are dedicated to making life easier for everyone involved, and it warms my heart that you see what we do. Thank you again and we wish you much joy!

The people at Brookdale Vacaville were very nice. They keep calling me and following up, and so I've been very pleased. One of the things that I liked was the patio or the deck. I prefer a ground floor, but the deck was upstairs. I've been to another one here in Vacaville that does not have that even though it's newer. I like having an outside space. The size of the room was good. Because it’s an older property, some of the bathrooms had a cut out tub rather than a roll-in shower, so that would be sort of an issue for us if we go and need to have the roll-in shower. The people were very friendly, very helpful, and seemed to be kind.

We put my father in Brookdale Vacaville Leisure Town for about a month and a half now. They make a lot of mistakes, but I think that is just human nature. He complains a lot about the food not being what he ordered. They keep delivering the wrong foods. He had to send it back and wait longer for the correct meal to come. He has an apartment, and we had a lot of problems with it too. The air conditioner was completely broken when we moved in. There were cockroaches coming out of the air conditioner and spiders all over the place. They did come in and treat it, but we should not have had to deal with it in the first place.

Emeritus was one of the places that we saw and approved of so far. The senior living arrangement was well thought out. The apartments had one or two bedrooms with nice floor plans. The grounds were very appealing. You had a feel of being rural even though you were in the city. They kept the ground very green. I also enjoyed the activities that they had for the seniors there. They presented a calendar of daily activities. I would recommend them. The staff was very welcoming.

My mom was at Emeritus at Leisure Town before. I liked it because they had a lot of activities, treated everybody really nicely, and it was clean and neat. In this particular one, you own your own home-like duplex, and then you could go into assisted living from there. They were wonderful, understanding, great cooks, and everybody helped all the time. The facility's swimming pool was neat and clean. They make sure that everybody who goes in there doesn't have any open sores.

I like Merrill Gardens a lot. I like that all the rooms had at least small patios. Even the studio apartments had small patios, which would help because mostly I like the outdoor space. I also like the way the dining room was set up. The facility was a tiny bit less expensive but then they have what they call an association fee and that was a big wallop - that's a big money! When they take your application, you have to come up with that amount of money, plus the first and last months' rents, so overall, it was expensive to move in there. The staff was not as well organized as the one in Davis. It was a very busy facility and there were a lot of people doing things. However, I just felt like maybe there weren't enough people in the front office and that's just the impression I got. In terms of activities, in one area, they had games like bingo, etc., and then in the lobby area, there was a pianist and there residents sitting around in a sing-a-long. They also have a bus for their residents going someplace.

By So Grateful A Daughter

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother was a resident and has just moved due to failed health and needing extreme nursing care. I am so grateful to Cogir for their care and provision to the residents at the lovely facility. The activities, dining, assistance to various needs, environment, and staff have been a blessing. We are grateful and would not hesitate to make it my/our future residence when the time comes.

I toured Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living and met Sandra, our wonderful tour guide. She did such a great job. Both my daughter and I could feel a rapport with her. The place was in great condition. They just replaced the siding, so it looked brand new. I really liked the mature trees, the landscaping, the grounds, the space in the rooms, and everything. Their closet was as big as I have. They even have a coat closet, and a kitchen which got all I needed (a two burner stove and a refrigerator). Some rooms have alcoves, too. She showed us an older unit and another one that had been updated. They put wood flooring in, carpeting, and stainless steel branded appliances. If somebody leaves, they go in and update it. I liked that it had recessed lighting and a nice sized patio. They didn't have a pool, but that's no big deal for me. She explained that the residents used the recreation center in Vacaville. They also have a small performing arts center, which Sandra said they arranged trips to. Then there's a washer-dryer in the unit and weekly house cleaning service (cleaning your room and changing your linens). Later that day after we finished the tour and everything, I got a really nice email from Sandra thanking my daughter and I for coming by. To me, that was a nice touch. I didn't hear any appreciation and follow up from anybody else. All three meals were provided. The dining area was an open seating. They have a set time, so it's not like you can go to lunch whenever you want, but they have a grab and go section if you just want to go down and get something. Transportation is available. There's a 20-passenger bus and a 3-passenger van.

We went to look at Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living. We had a lovely experience. The staff took us around and showed us different rooms. She gave us all the information that we needed and a price list. She was very informative, showed us the activities, things that were in the facilities, and the dining room. The rooms were newly remodeled. They were painting in one of the rooms we were able to see. Everything looked clean. People were cleaning in the dining rooms. It's a really good experience. I think it's a nice place. They have outdoor spaces there. They all have patios. I like it because of the trees in the area. The staff said that was one of the reasons that kept them from having COVID there, that people had their own patios to go into. I saw a gentleman doing a puzzle in the hallway. They did have activities there. They had a store that you could shop in to get your little necessities without having to go out. The amenities are that they will take you anywhere that you want to go. They will take you to Walmart or the grocery store.

Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living was very well-maintained and very luxurious. The grounds, the staff, and the rooms were very nice. The dining area was also very luxurious, very large, very light, and airy. We only saw a couple of rooms, but we liked them. They have a bingo game, a craft shop, and exercise rooms. It's all level, so no hills or anything. So, that was very nice.

Provider Response

HI Bess! Thank you for your wonderful review! We appreciate your feedback and we are thrilled that you found our community to your liking and level :) There are so many reasons why Cogir of Vacaville is a perfect home for so many seniors no matter where you are in your journey. Thank you again!

I like Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living because it is quiet, and the rooms are big and spacious. What I didn't like about it is, I'm 67, and I was informed that the average age of residents is like 70, 80. I'm not quite there. They had a kitchen, and I can't remember if they had a washer and dryer. I have seen the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. The 2-bedroom was huge. But I don't want to use all my money, I don't want to spend $3900 on the place to stay. The staff was perfect. They had a courtyard and a sitting area.

Provider Response

Hello Faye! I appreciate you taking the time to send us such a nice review. Thank you very much. I enjoyed our time together, getting to know you and understand what is important to you in choosing your next residence. When you are in need of a quiet, spacious all-inclusive apartment, please give us a call. We'll be here for you at Cogir of Vacaville!

Cogir of Vacaville Senior Living seemed like a really nice community. Of the three that I looked at, I think probably this one or the one in the Fairfield, I would choose to live in. I liked the apartments. They were more spacious and more homey. They have more room than some of the others. The grounds were maintained nicely. They had good walking areas and a little yard, so I liked the outside. They didn't have a swimming pool, but they did have a large community covered patio. I liked the outside of that development. I like the person that gave the tour. She was very patient and very knowledgeable. I liked her. They were in the middle of changing the floor and stuff like that. They had some carpets that they are pulling out. As soon as they're done with that, it will be better.

Provider Response

Hi Juanita! Thank you for your wonderful review of Cogir of Vacaville! We aim to make our residents happy and that is our priority with everything that we do.

My mother moved in right before the pandemic lockdown. The staff did a good job keeping the residents safe. However, the food went from marginal to inedible. I have asked my mother to take pictures of the cold, unappealing, coagulated, grey food being served to her. We’ve had to buy a countertop convection oven, and have groceries delivered, so that she can eat. She has lost so much weight since she moved in. They won’t even provide a sandwich as an option, even though staff have told her that they would. This situation is disgraceful, and causing my mother to become depressed.

The best fit for my mom was the Vacaville Retirement Community. The staff was excellent. We went multiple times and she took a lot of time with us. We get to see all the facilities. We like that the units have patios and there are still good spaces. They have transportation and they have all the services. There are many options and there is versatility amongst independent versus dependent. I was impressed with it.

My son and I toured Brookdale Vacaville Leisure Town. I enjoyed it. I liked the place and the rooms. They're much larger and I'm thinking of going there. There were outside activities that I could do. They showed me four different apartments, which were very good. The staff told us everything that we wanted to know and she was very thorough. We were very happy when we left. The facility was very clean. I would go there in a minute.

Brookdale Vacaville Leisure Town was nice, and the rooms were nice but extremely small. They had a dining hall, a little gym area, library, gaming room, and an outdoor area where they could do activities. They had a shuttle to take them places if they have appointments. It was fairly expensive. The staff was very nice.

Brookdale Vacaville is a great, wonderful place that's perfect for my dad. The staff seems great. He goes to eat every day, which is great, and walks around the place. He loves his room, which has an awesome view of the golf course. I wish they had reached out to him more and took it upon themselves to make sure he was shown around and follow through on their maintenance. They said they would repair some things and they have not. The staff is very welcoming.

I like that Emeritus has a campus-like setting and has a beautiful courtyard. I sampled a meal there, I liked the food as well as the snacks. They were not as expensive as the referrals I had here for Oakland and Burley. I only met with one of the directors who showed me around, so I didn’t get to see a lot of the staff. It’s a convenient location to me -- less than 5 minutes away -- and they gave me some reassurances that if it’s something the staff couldn’t handle I’m less than 5 minutes away from professional help. They showed me a calendar of the activities, the type of activities they have was for a different generation, most of the residents there are much older than I am. This area is for people over 55. They have balconies, patios, and I can walk through the community. If I want to go out of the room but not far, I can sit out at the patio or the deck. They allow pets which is a good thing, and some of the residents there have dogs they’re willing to share with other people.

Merrill Gardens is an independent living. My dad has dementia so we decided to transfer him to another facility that is more secure, but the facility is great. I ate there a couple of times with my dad and the food was fantastic. The people were really nice. My dad's room was always clean. I think they clean the rooms once a week. He can wash his own clothes, but they would wash his sheets and beddings.

My Mom just moved in here and she is enjoying all of the activities and the people she is around. There are a few issues with repairs getting done in a timely fashion, but the apartment itself is roomy (2 bedrooms) and has a small kitchen that my Mom enjoys.
