Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Redlands, CA

"My dad was here twice. I thought they did ok but my dad thought otherwise. I guess it's because he didn't like rehabs. They were very attentive. The place is clean. The had a large room there and he shared with someone. Airforce Village is a nice facility. The staff are very good. I think that there's still room for improvement too. I didn't like the way they were doing the administrative work specifically the accounting portion of it. I had some problems with the billing. I don't know if it's a government thing or medicare versus my dad's secondary insurance. They didn't help me with it and that was the thing. "

"Plymouth Village provides a wonderful environment for all levels of living with or without assistance. My mother lives in the independent duplexes but receives a small level of assistance with medication (beyond what that 'independent' level provides ~ which includes many things like house keeping, transportation, maintenance, etc). There are options to buy in and live there the remaining wonderful years of her life and be assured that she will be taken care of no matter what her financial situation comes to. Or, she can just rent month to month and be available to move elsewhere if she so chooses. The options are nice to have. The quality of service, food, activities and assistance with financial issues is very good. It is wonderful to hear from my Mom that she enjoys the community, the activities and the beautiful landscaping of that community. Her quality of life and health (mental and physical) has improved greatly with the consistent care and activity opportunities provided; activities that she would not be able to access if she lived completely alone in her own home. I highly recommend this community for any family or friend who would like to live in a beautiful, caring environment without the worries of living completely alone. "

"Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga is very nice, but it isn't as nice presentation wise as the other two places I went to. It's location was very park-like and I liked that."

"I toured The Village, and it was very impressive. It has a fantastic restaurant and it also had other options for dining. It has fairly spacious apartments, too. But the locale is not ideal; it's not a good environment. I'm looking for more like a villa rather than an apartment. I was interested in the continuing care situation and that's what the village offers. The staff was very helpful, very professional, very upbeat, and very welcoming. The food is amazing. It was a five, and if there was a higher number than five, I would give them that. It was just the best kind of five-star restaurant you could dine in. They have every kind of activity that you could be looking for as a retired person. They do day trips, and they have a movie theater. It was ideal; except I don't want to be in an apartment, and I did not like the city it was located in."

"The aspect that made Inland Christian Home stand out above other assisted living facilities that I have visited was the quality of the staff that worked with the clients. Like other places I have visited, this facility offers some of the standard activities and services for elderly residents. I saw people engaged in games, coming home from outings, and eating and chatting together. Another thing I liked about this facility is that it offers a number of different levels for residents, ranging from independent living to constant care. It is nice not to have to move to a different facility when one's level of care changes. But as I said before, the quality of the staff is what distinguishes this facility--staff members were patient and seemed to really know the personalities of the residents, down to the names of their grandchildren. The staff also seems to stick around, which makes for a more stable environment. "
