The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Los Angeles County, CA

"There are some irritating things here at Commonwealth Royale, but my room is OK, and my roommate is OK. It's mostly people in their 70's or 80's, and there are about 60 people. The rooms are big enough. The food is not very good. The staff is good. They are nice and friendly. The atmosphere is not good. I moved this morning because there was the lady sitting next to me that never took showers, and she smelled bad. Now I am in a place I don't like as much as the old one because I had a guy on the other side of me that I liked. They could improve a lot of things, such as the food and getting rougher with some of the people and making them clean up. "

"Emerald City has three storiess. The building has cracks, and there’s no plan for earthquakes. The people there don’t care, and they want residents who are out of it. The residents are the best. "

"Visited this community when looking for a place for my aunt. I would of moved her here in a heartbeat if she didnt stay in Nevada with my cousin. I enjoyed having lunch with the residents. Everyone was so pleasant."

"The rooms at Broadview were clean enough. They have Bingo and a lot of programs. They offered a discount for me, but I am just looking for more places to compare, and then choose the best one for me. "

"We have a place for my mom at the Inn on the Boulevard. It's very nice. The food is really good. My mom is very happy there. The rooms and the accommodations are very nice. She's going to be moving to a different unit so she's closer to the dining hall. The overall building and the rooms itself are nice. I just liked the convenience, where it's at. They're very good as far as all the services they provide for my mother. "

"I went to Prospect Manor. I like the place. It was nice and clean. They had a little activity video for the people who will be living there. So, I like that. The lady was very nice, but I didn't care for the menu that they had. The staff was nice and helpful. It'll be a nice place if you want somebody to be in an assisted living place. The atmosphere was very nice. The rooms are nice and spacious. It was good."

"I toured Sunny Hills Assisted Living. It's an older facility, but it's well-kept. The person who gave me the tour was very pleasant. The people loved him, and he was very personable. They showed me two private units, and they're very nice. The people seemed happy. The dining room was adequate. They have like 2 or 3 community rooms. The place is adjacent to Beverly Hills. It's a quaint little place right there. It's a nice place, and the rooms were very clean."

"Atherton Baptist Home is very caring and very helpful. They have a housekeeper who comes in every Thursday and cleans. Some caregivers take care of me, about different things, if I need care. They put on my stretch socks for me and they collect us for meals and make sure that we have our meals properly. They come into your rooms and sit and talk to you. They communicate well with you. It is so much easier to get around here and do things and they are very helpful in your transportation and so on. The food is very good. It's excellent. They've also done some building projects just recently and they just finished a courtyard and a three-story building with two elevators and it's up-to-date everything in it. About once every month or a month and a half, we're allowed to go to a restaurant with a group (of course we pay for it) and we do various activities. We make birthday cards, new kinds of Christmas cards and other kinds of things. We have a person that does that. She is full-time here. She comes around and talks to us and she's very good. We have a place where we can plant our own seeds and grow our own garden. The atmosphere is very congenial. The social atmosphere here is very good. We have lots of different races here and we all get along."

"I'm on a wait list for Villa Gardens in Pasadena. I've talked to some residents. It's off the top of the chart, but it's also a buy-in community. It's very expensive. The rooms are beautiful. They've got waitstaff in the dining rooms. They've got beautiful bistros that are open 24 hours a day. It's got the nicest physical therapy facility. They've got a staff person there for eight hours a day, five days a week with no charge. It's ideal in many ways, but it's right in the middle of Pasadena. You look out the windows and you're looking at another building across the street. Two meals a day are included with your rental. They have a cook who's been there a long time. They will have aspiring actors and musicians from L.A. coming out there and regularly performing. They have a very nice theater. It's high-class. The staff was very knowledgeable and accessible."

"The rooms at Villa Scalabrini were very nice. I was very impressed. My mother was there eight years ago and when I went back to look at it, the main staff was still there. They're very caring, and they're very good. They have Bingo and crafts, a lady comes in and does current events, they play basketball with the waste basket, and they have sing-alongs. They keep them very busy. Their activity room is very spacious, and the dining room is very nice. They have a library, an exercise room, and quite a bit of activities."

"Extremely conscientious and compassionate care from staff. "
