Independent Living Communities in Folsom, CA

"Besides being a nice place, Oakmont of El Dorado Hills had a nice little private garden set up in the middle of the facility. So, if someone wanted to get out, they had a nice little private area for them. They showed us just about everything. They have their own hair and nail salon in the building."

"My friend moved to WellQuest of Granite Bay. We chose it because of the amenities and the newness of the place. It's only 2 or 3 years old. Her apartment is spacious for a studio. My friend shared with us that she likes the food. The facility is very clean. The staff is very efficient from the moving coordinator to the marketing director. Their base rate was good. We were pleased with it."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My sister and brother-in-law moved into Cogir of Stock Ranch Senior Living. They seem to be happy enough with the food. They have very nice happy hours twice a week, and then another show, usually around three entertainment shows a week. We looked at a lot of places, and this had very good ratings, and it was very, very nice. The place is kept very clean. Everybody is very nice, so no complaints. The staff is very good. They're all very friendly and helpful. The dining area is beautiful and very clean."

"We visited The Terraces of Roseville and toured the independent living. The community is very nice. The size of the room looked nice, and the facility itself looked clean. They're in the middle of updating one section of it, and we get to see what the update will look like, but the other section still hasn't been done. The person who helped us with the tour was very knowledgeable and kind. We saw their activities room, but they weren't having any classes at the moment because many of the residents were on a field trip. They were gone visiting a museum, so we saw the activity room, but they weren't there doing anything. We saw their gym and the equipment there. We also saw some of the residents eating at the dining hall."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"My brother moved to Ponte Palmero. Everything is well-maintained. Everything is clean. The staff is incredibly friendly. The amenities for the people that live there are very up-to-date with a nice little workout room. They have a pool. They have a hot tub. They have a lot of activities going on regularly. They support community involvement and people getting out and getting to know each other. They're just very well managed and well cared for facilities for all levels. The food is very good. The dining area is excellent. It's a nice facility. It's probably the nicest one that I've seen."

"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."
