Independent Living Communities in Long Beach, CA

"I went to Rowntree, and it was very pretty. From what I understand, it is probably best for somebody who can start out in independent living then they can get the long-term care, but my parents are farther along. The staff seemed OK; I was just there for a brief time. It looked safe and secure. I liked the beauty of it; the gardens were very beautiful. "

"It was very nice. The woman is a traveling representative because they didn't have a sales representative there right then, so she showed me around. She was very familiar with everything right there. She answered all the questions, and she was very pleasant. She offered a meal, too. She gave me all the time I needed, and she showed me several places. I thought they seemed very nice. She just showed me all the details and explained how it can be used like, "OK, this kitchen was small, but you can expand it by doing this and around the corner." Of course, there's three meals a day, and I got to meet the chef, and she offered a right on the spot a meal, but I declined, so it was very nice. There were a lot of people in there and they looked alert, and that impressed me. Jennifer also pointed out that some people are in hospice care there, so there are all ranges of care even though it's mainly one category. One thing I loved about the place was that they have four or five companies they contract with, and a lot of them I talked with, and one of them was very pleasant. The staff showed me the amenities. There was an activity room, and they have a church service offered. A priest lives there, and for Catholic people who wants communion, he offers that each week, so that was nice. They have a variety of places for the seniors for activities. They not only have one movie room, but they have a couple of different rooms. It was nice, like there's a fireplace, it was spacious, and next to it is a nice-sized kitchen. On the first floor, they have balconies, and the staff said this is nice because there's a lot of shade here. She pointed out advantages of each. In the courtyard, there was a fountain, and they had the kind of items that seniors would want to see. They had some animals, they had a bush that was shaped like an elephant, and some items out there that seniors would enjoy."

"I went to visit Pacific Inn because it was not that far from my home and someone recommended it. I liked the location and it was extremely clean. The staff and the residents seemed upbeat. They had a lot of activities. The dining room was very nice and very well-maintained. It was my number one choice if I moved my mother. "

"We have trusted the care of the Oakmont staff in Memory care with our Mom since they opened in the summer of 2019. I can't speak highly enough about the loving care of the staff members. Handing our Mom over to the care of "strangers" was a very scary thing...and since day one, I continue to feel they are not strangers, but Angels for all they do. Communication with team members, has continued to give me peace of mind, that Mom is loved and cared for."

"I was very impressed with Emerald Court. Everyone seemed happy and socially engaged. The staff were helpful, pleasant, and courteous. Their rooms seemed pretty much the same as the others, but the thing that struck me the most was when we got there at 4:00, they were all sitting around waiting for happy hour. So many people were out and about. People weren't shut in their rooms and that's what I liked to see, that they were socializing."

"Walnut Village is a high-end luxury buy-in. It is an equity purchase, so you have to buy your way in there. It’s $3,000 - $5,000 on the minimum every month in addition to the purchase. The apartments were excellent, very nice, medium sized, not huge or anything like that. But it is very upscale, and they have got tremendous eating facilities. They have a memory care, and they even got a total rehab side. "

"I toured and I liked its cleanliness and their bigger rooms. When you enter their dining area, it's like a big restaurant. It was nice. The courtyard was very nice too. It's not that big, but it's pretty decent for the residents. It's a very welcoming place. The staff was also very nice. When we got there, the receptionist offered us some coffee or tea. We talked to Ryan and he was pretty knowledgeable on everything that's going on in the facility, and he's been offering a lot of help. He showed us a lot of rooms and my aunt was so overwhelmed by it. A lot of the rooms were still being renovated though. They're still in the process of changing the carpeting and all that, but I am pretty sure after everything is done, it's going to be beautiful."

"I toured Hollenbeck Palms. It's a nicer place than the other community, but it's significantly more expensive. I hardly saw staff members at Hollenbeck, they seemed fewer. The staff was nice and courteous. The rooms are huge and they're separated, and there's more room for furniture, and it has a nice view."

"Our mother has only been at Sakura Gardens for 4 months but seems to be thriving there. She’s made many friends and seems to be feeling more and more comfortable each time we visit her. The staff have all been very accommodating with her requests. It best part is that she feels that she is part of a community at Sakura Gardens. "

"Park Plaza was a very pleasant place with a very friendly and very helpful staff, very good food, good accomodations, and nice amenities. They have a nice library, which is important to my mother-in-law. They have quite a number of clubs and shopping activities. They have transportation to doctors, and I was impressed by the idea that they have crafts available and computers downstairs, too. They have nice viewing rooms and places for people to visit each other. "

"I toured and the place is spotless and very pleasant. All the residents there seemed very happy to be there. The staff was very professional and very kind to the residents. It was not a large area but it was very pleasant. It was shaded with lots of chairs and umbrellas. They had raised flower beds for the residents to do some planting activity, so it's really nice."

"Palm Court Retirement Living is the best of the best. It's a lot of money, but it's still the best. It's perfect. It's very private, luxurious, very nice like you're going on vacation somewhere and you have everything. It's a small studio, but with everything, a nice, modern bathroom. In the corner, there's a little, kind of kitchen, so you can put a microwave for example, and then super, super, the balcony, or the terraza, the patio, is perfect for the first floor or the ground floor. The view of the bushes, the plants, they're beautiful. The street is like a private street."

"Westmont Culver City is very nice and it's brand new. My mother has a one-bedroom, one-bath, and it's nice. I highly recommend it. The staff is great. They have a gym, chair aerobics for everybody, a movie theater, a restaurant, a courtyard, front and back entrances, private elevators, you have to use the key to get in, and front desk staff. She doesn't like the food that much."
