Independent Living Communities in Citrus Heights, CA

"I will move into Sequoia Grove Gracious Retirement Living. It's new, very bright, and cheerful, and the apartments were good size. The staff was very friendly. I met some of the residents, and they, too, were very friendly. I had a meal there, and the food was good. I liked the fact that they have their meals at regular times."

"We toured Roseville Commons. My overall experience was excellent. We spoke with Drew. He was the one who took us on a tour. He was very informative, very friendly, and warm. The experience was great. I talked about it for probably the rest of the day because I like the floor plans, and I like some of the things they have there. I enjoyed it. That was my favorite. I checked the dining area and the menu. They gave us a packet with all the information and prices, the calendar and events, and the usual stuff that they give. I liked their activities. I liked the layout of the whole facility. It was warm and friendly. I like everything about the floor plan and the room. I was interested in the one-bedroom. I do have animals, and there was no problem with them accepting the animals. They even have one on the ground floor that I'm particularly interested in that has a little backyard with a grassy area that you can put a little fence around. The one-bedroom was spacious. It has a full kitchen and a little kitchen bar where you can eat, and a nice big living room. The cable and wi-fi were included, and it was very reasonable. I enjoyed that place."

"My cousin is moving into Winding Commons. The adult living there would seem to suit our needs. The people are very nice. The floor plans were the big push. It also is close to her doctor in Mercy San Juan. So that was another big draw. It was within our price range, so this worked out well. I've only met about three of the staff. Hillary was just wonderful and so is Christine. We saw a lot of the menus. We were able to see some of the residents, too, and they were very thrilled with the food. It's close to a market so they can buy food. If she wanted to buy food and cook her own in her kitchenette that was an option. The square footage of the room made sense. She had ample square space for her living room and her bedroom, plus a patio. It's also on the first floor. My cousin has a dog, so that was important. We were able to go to an end unit, which was another plus. She can go out and take the dog out through the exit which was just right on the end of the unit, which is kind of nice. They have a monthly calendar of all the activities. You could pick and choose whatever you wanted to do or nothing. So that's kind of nice. They could take them back and forth to the store or over to their appointments, dentists, and physicians. And that was another big draw, too. All she had to do was to sign up. They had a nice bit of a theater there, a library, and a big computer room with several computers in there. The washer and dryer units were close, just right down the hall in each area. They also had a maid that came in twice a week if you wanted them to do laundry for your bedding, towels, and the heavy stuff. So that was another nice feature."

"I like that Atria Carmichael Oaks is centrally located and it's nice. They have good activities. They have WIFI in the rooms and I liked that they have a nice floor plan with a balcony. I enjoyed the place. The people were very nice and caring. I ate there and I had spaghetti meatballs for lunch and garlic breadsticks. It was pretty basic, but it was very good. It's a dated facility, but it's clean and the structure was well-built. The room sizes were nothing special. It was a square room, just like looking in a hotel room or something."

"I toured Ivy Park at Roseville. It was well laid out. They had everything anyone could want in a senior living experience. Their kitchens are very small, but the meals are included, so you don't need a kitchen. They had laundry facilities on every floor. Their activities seemed very varied, like something for everyone. I did see people in the halls and common areas who seem to be enjoying themselves. It was very clean, and the staff I met were excellent, but they were too expensive for me."

"I toured The Landing at Carmichael. It was beautiful. It didn't look like a place for old people. It was just very well kept up. It didn't have a bad smell. It had elevators. I like the hallways to the rooms where you could put your little mat on your front door, something for the holidays. You can personalize it, and that was nice. I don't think there were stoves in there. It was just like a little mini fridge and a microwave where you could make microwave meals and heat stuff and stuff like that. But the specific room that I saw, I wasn't happy with it because it was so little, and I wanted a counter and a cabinet type of thing, just like a mini kitchenette, a very small thing, but something where I could still make real meals. The staff was very nice."

"I did a tour of Eskaton Village Carmichael. I like the financial arrangement, and I thought the grounds were more appropriate. They just offered everything for a single price. They have a gym, a swimming pool, a putting green, and a large park right adjacent to the facility. I did not try the food, but I noticed that for dinners, they have a choice of three entrees. They also have a grab-and-go area. That's very convenient. I saw the food, and it looked excellent. The only staffer I talked to was the person who was the sales agent, and he was very good and very informative. One thing I liked about them particularly was that, at some point in time I'm going to probably need to go from independent living to assisted care. They have that right there, and they also have memory care, which I don't think I may never need, but it was nice to know it’s there."

"I toured Summerset Senior Living - Rancho Cordova. The grounds were almost smaller than other places. They were still very nice. Everything was very clean and very organized. They did have a lot of activities, which was nice. I thought the rooms were small as far as space for two people, but they were still very clean, very nice, and everything was current and modern. Jennifer was great. She was very professional, had great advice, covered all the bases very well, and was very accommodating, even when I had to call her and ask questions, she was excellent. I saw the dining area, but I wasn't in a position to stay there and sample the food. I saw staff there and I interacted with some staff. They seemed to be very attentive, caring, and friendly. Everything was maintained well. They had nice extra features whether it be a a sports bar area, a workout room, or things of that nature."

"We toured Truewood by Merrill, Roseville. There wasn't anything that we didn't care for. Julie, who took us around, was so helpful, and just her attitude towards the staff and the residents, I could tell there was a definite concern. She wanted to make them comfortable and meet all their needs as well as ours, and she showed us properties that might work well for them. She also took us on a tour of all the things that were available there. The dining hall was very nice, and the staff who served us were very nice. The food was good too, and it's a beautiful area. The apartments were very nice. She showed us one that had just been renovated. It was spacious. She said that for the one bathroom, there was a glass shower door, and they would change that out to a curtain so my sister-in-law could go in without stepping over a threshold. It was all very nice."

"Eskaton Granite Bay is a very nice facility. We toured for independent living. We ate there and their food was very good. They did not have activities going on at the time because it was meal time, but we talked with their activities director and saw some of the things that they do there. The person was very enthusiastic. The rooms we saw were a nice size, and everything was very clean and very updated."

"Atria El Camino Gardens was very nice, but it was also was very expensive. It was absolutely beautiful. We did not go into the cafeteria or the dining room. They had a restaurant, also. We went to a one-bedroom apartment. It had just been moved out of, and had not been cleaned yet, and yet it was gorgeous. It was in excellent condition. I would love to live there. The staff was very nice and very courteous."

"My mom moved to Oakmont of Westpark. Everyone was super helpful, bright, and cheerful. They took the time to explain. We met with the activities director. We met with the medical director. We met with the assistant activities director. We met with a lot of the team there before we decided, and everybody took the time for us. The lady who was a public relations coordinator was only like her first month there. Anything that I had questions about she didn't know the answer to, she took note of and then she got right back to me on it. The food was good. My mom enjoys it. The dining room staff are super friendly and the care team that is serving the food. They give them three meals a day. They have food sitting out. My mom gets to have two choices at every meal on what she wants to have. Every day they exercise. They have art. They have field trips once a week. They have car rides once a week. It's a beautiful place. It doesn't feel like it's a hospital. It has a cruise ship type of feel, like a beautiful hotel. They do bingo with them a couple of times a week. They have a movie theater there and they do all kinds of stuff with them."

"It was hard to park and get into Creekside Oaks Retirement Community, but once we got in and found out that they were having all the furniture replaced (that has to be done), we were pretty happy. Looking around the facility, everyone's smiling and happy and just on the way to doing something and not people sitting there in a wheelchair. I had a good impression of them. Renee was very friendly. I've spoken with her a bunch of times since, and so has my mom, and they're just checking on her, making sure if she has any questions or anything. So, the follow-up was good. Renee knew the inside and out of that building like it was her own house, which I was pretty impressed with. She showed us three different rooms and they were all beautiful. We only used one dining area, although they had others, and the food there was excellent. The staff was really good, professional, and friendly. The cook was fantastic."
