Independent Living Communities in Highland, CA

"I am very happy that I am in Valencia Commons. It's a very good, well-kept, and extremely clean facility. They have caregivers that come in when you call them. Overall, the staff is wonderful. The amenities that we have are very good, like a chapel, beauty shop, small gym, and community room. We have lots of activities, too. "

"It was really nice and pretty modern. My uncle would have loved going there. They had a veterans club and a lot of activities. I liked the rooms. They were very clean and open. I liked the staff, too. They were extremely nice. Then they had a dining area that was pretty big and pretty nice. They displayed the food that they were going to be serving for the next meal, which I think was great, so they could see what was in their selection."

"We went to The Camelot. My mother-in-law liked the layout with the little gardens inside. We liked that it was a little more independent where the room had a little kitchenette, that she could cook if she wanted to, as well as having the provided meals. Having the pager in case she falls was a real plus for us because she has a falling tendency. They had a nice selection of crafts, and we saw some people who were doing adult coloring. They said they had poker games and Bridge games and all sorts of stuff. It seems like she would have a lot to do. We looked at the one-bedroom and the studio. They had a small library and it had books and magazines and then also videos. The staff during the tour was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very patient with dealing with the questions from the three of us because my husband and my mother-in-law were both Facetiming in, and then I was there live. He was very accommodating, which also gives you a good feeling. As we were walking around, residents were walking around as well and he knew everyone onsite by name. It makes you feel like it's an inclusive area where they're going to get to know you. There were a couple of areas that looked kind of narrow for the wheelchair to get through."

"Corona RCFE was very nice, and the people were very friendly. The grounds were good. The room is perfect for my mother who is 92. She just needs a room with a little bed, a chair, and a TV. That's all she needs. It looks like she can go out and go to the dining room area, and things like that, and they have those things available too. The staff who helped me was very friendly and answered all the questions. She was very good. I didn't sample the food, but the dining area was fine. For activities, they have a little room where people can go and they can meet with each other and play games and so on, so that's fine."

"Everything is fine here. I've been here about almost eight months now. If you can't be home, this is a really good place to be. It's well taken care of, and it's very clean. The caregivers are lovely. I enjoy living here and I've made a lot of nice friends and acquaintances. They have a lot of activities going on and I just wanted to give them a little thumbs up there. They're very caring and if you need something, all you have to do is ask and eventually, you'll get it. They have been short of help lately because of this pandemic. Now that things are opening up, there are people that leave to go to get different jobs and so forth, but they take care of you just as much as they can. I have one particular caregiver that I just really love. I have to have help in the shower and she's wonderful. I just so appreciate it. If I can't be home, this is a good place to be. I play bingo, bunco, rummy, and left, right, middle. We have little activities like questions and answers, Who Am I? What am I? and things like that. I love those. It keeps your mind going. We have ice cream social on Sunday. Anybody that wants to be there is there. We have activities outside in the courtyard. We've had country music coming in, singing and playing the guitar. I folded a flag with another gentleman here on Flag Day. I'm a veteran, so I got to do that. The food itself is good. Sometimes it's not cooked as we'd like it to be, but they give you everything. My fingernails are much better since I've been here because I'm eating more vegetables and they have a variety of everything. Right now, you have two choices of your entree and that's good. You can have chicken or you can have fish or you can have whatever. We have three good meals a day. I enjoy the oatmeal and today we had muffins which are good and they have a variety of breakfast. You can have eggs scrambled and you can have an omelet if you want. They have ice cream once in a while and things like that. The meals are very well balanced, if you choose to eat that way. I have my own little freezer here, so I could keep ice cream bars and things. I have food in my room. My room is wonderful and very comfortable. I have a nice little apartment with a nice bathroom and I have a nice refrigerator, a microwave, and a little kitchenette there. It's very comfortable for me because I'm out most of the time doing something. I don't stay in the room that often, but when I do, I'm reading or watching TV. I'm very happy here. I have a balcony. My granddaughter got me two chairs and a little table that I have out there, and if the weather is receptive, I'll go out there and sit for a little bit. There are trees and a beautiful courtyard right in front of me. Everything is so well-kept. It all looks beautiful. They have a lot of overhead expenses with the staff and the food, so the value for money is fair. The dining room is lovely."

"We chose this community for my dad because of the location. We had heard a lot of good things about it. They were really good about helping us when we needed advice and everything else. We really like them. It was very inviting and very welcoming, and I really just loved the staff that I met there. They do exercises. They have puzzles and discussion groups. They have something different going on every day. There is a variety of activities for the mind, body, and health. I wish they had more of some type of church service or something for spiritual well-being because a lot of people can't get out or don't have somebody to take them to church. I would suggest a few more options for activities later in the day. They do everything in the morning. I understand that people get tired, but just a little more optional stuff in the afternoons. They could just have a little bit more than they have."

"It was very nice and clean. There were plenty of people. It kind of seemed like a nice hotel. The room we were looking at was a one bedroom, one bathroom. It had a little kitchenette and a little patio. It was a nice size. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. I didn't try the food, but we went through the dining area. It was very nice. They had a really nice library and a movie room. They had a little church room, like a place they could go into. The dining room was huge. There are places where they have activities like bingo and stuff like that. There was a pool."

"Sun City Gardens was a very nice place. The staff was neat and well dressed, and some were in uniforms. There were a lot of residents in wheelchairs and walkers, and they were well attended to. I saw a room with a bath, a built-in closet, and a small refrigerator. I also saw a 1-bedroom and a 2-bedroom apartment, which had more elaborate kitchens. They had great security at that place."

"We went to WellQuest of Menifee Lakes. It was great. We focused on the memory clinic the most for my mom. It is very clean. It is a very inviting atmosphere. To me, it looks more like a hotel than a facility when you look at how the rooms are laid out because it's a newer facility. The staff who gave the tour was very knowledgeable, very positive, not pushy at all, and very willing to take the time to answer all the questions that I had. He gave me a complete tour of the facility. He pretty much told me everything from the activities to dining and what they provide as far as services. They provide services for my mom as she declines more and what they're capable of doing, which is quite a bit. They are very informative about what they're able to do, and how they take some of the people over to the regular assisted living to do some of the activities over there. It's very detailed oriented. The residents were very nice there. I was amazed by a couple of them who came up to us and said they liked the place. They'd been to other places, and this was the best place they'd been in. As we're looking at a couple more places, WellQuest of Menifee Lakes is one of them that we're looking at with heart. "

"I chose it because of the staff, the people, and the activities they offer. The food has been good as well and I just feel more comfortable here. They offer more than the other communities I have visited. The room is a perfect size for me, and what I was looking for. Everything that I needed, they offered although the building is a little worn. We do bible studies, they show movies, we have bingo nights, visits to casinos or would take us shopping though they don't have transportation."

"I think the facility is well maintained & clean .. I would love to really able to have my brother residence there."

"Linda Valley Villa is overall good. It's always clean and well-kept, and my parents are happy living there. The staff is satisfactory. My mother attends daily fitness exercise class and she also tries to attend arts and crafts, but according to her, once or twice that she went, the class was not being held for whatever reason, so it doesn't seem to be very consistent."
