"I love Alta Vita. I have my own home, I can drive, and I am free to do as I want to do, but if I need help it is here and available. I’m figuring I’m going to be in Alzheimer’s facing, and they have an Alzheimer’s unit here. They have every activities; they just put in a pickleball court, and we have a dog park and a potty green. I am in the independent living, but I have one meal a day. It's good, but I can go to the dining room for lunch or just pick up lunch in the café or go to dinner. I like the dining room because I love the salad in the salad bar. I have 2 bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. My bedroom is quite large with a sun room and a patio, and I have a 2-car garage. I have been here for about three years, and I feel like I’m in my home. "

"I chose this place for my mother. They have a lower price and they provide meals. It is very small. The other places offer more than what my mother really needed. The place is clean and the staff is nice. "

"Village Hemet is the nicest one in the area. It's more high class. They have different programs where you buy your own condo and as you need assistance, they can provide it. When you need continual care, you move in to the main building, and they sell your condo for you and that money goes toward your account while you're in more care. The food is not gourmet level, but definitely better than food at a school cafeteria. They offer everything that you would need, like a library, beauty salon, barber shop, snack bar, and little coffee shops. It's more corporate owned. "
