Independent Living Communities in Menifee, CA

"I will move into The Village Hemet. It's a beautiful facility, and it has several amenities that I can use. I've got friends there already. They have wonderful meals, maids, and transportation services, so it's all in one location. A couple of my friends said you don't even have to leave the building if you don't want to, and they take complete care of you. The staff have been great and helpful in getting the process started and completed. They've been really good. I had lunch a couple of times, and it's like a five-star restaurant. It's very clean. It looks brand new, although it's been there since either '89 or '98, but it's a beautiful facility. It was like a five-star hotel."

"I toured Cottages at Hemet. It is very nice, and if I can get my father to come out this far, there is a possibility that I would like to put him there. The place is beautiful, and the staff all seem very nice. The rooms that they have, even the studio apartments, are spacious. Outside is like a park. The facility is well taken care of. Where they need to do upkeep, it was put aside so the residents couldn't quite get there, so it didn't affect the residents."

"I went to Brookdale Sunwest. I first visited them two years ago, and I had a meal then, and the food was good. It was a nice facility. The staff was very nice. The facility was very nice. They have a whole range of facilities, like a hotel, and then they have individual units, almost like a home you can stay in."

"The Camelot has been upgraded. It's in the price range that I can afford. Everything's provided in the cost and they have different specials at different months. It seemed like it was pretty well taken care of, and the dining room and all of the facilities seemed adequate. They're newly painted apartments. It looked like the menu was pretty good. The staff answered all our questions. She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. We could have had a meal there if we had been there during the mealtimes, but we weren't, so we didn't taste the food."

"I was surprised at the size of the rooms. The menu looked delicious and to know if you don’t care for the 2 entrees you do have the choice of hamburgers and sandwiches. Steve M. was full of information and thorough. He answered every question we asked. The staff was friendly."

"I liked Westmont of Riverside a lot, but it was very huge for my sister. She probably would be better off with a smaller facility. I saw a cafeteria. I saw two studios. I saw their entrance, and basically we walked from the entrance to a wing, which was a good distance. They're set up to where people are a good distance from administration, which I wasn't really happy with. If my sister were to be there and she needed administrative business to be conducted, it would be very difficult for her to get there. It was quite clean. There seemed to be the occasional attendant in each wing, but I didn't see a lot of people milling about. It was nice to see that it was not too crowded, but on the same token it was also disconcerting that people were so far apart from help. The staff member was conscientious, and I connected well with them. She was quite friendly with the help, and courteous with the clients. I would still give them a very high score because they are a premium facility. They are selective in their clientele. They explained that people needing more than one person in attendance were not good applicants. My sister is not a good applicant, not that she needed more than one attendant at a time, but because she needed an attendant to get her up. That would mean someone would have to be with her, and that's not something that they're geared to do."

"We toured The Grove Assisted Living. They have two floors for anyone that chooses independent living, and all the rest of it is assisted living. It is pretty good that they accommodate both. All the amenities that they have are great. They only have limited parking at the facility. I like that they utilize the off-property parking as well, but the lighting was not too good over there walking through the neighborhood and coming home, so it's kind of dangerous for the seniors. That's the only problem I have. They serve food basically all day long. When they're not serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, there are places where you can get snacks, so it is still food."

"I toured Park Terrace. It was wonderful, beautiful, and luxurious, and the tour was very good, with all the amenities and beyond. They were under construction a little bit while I was there. They're putting in a restaurant or something. So, there was some construction going on in the entryway. It was very nice. The staff who gave the tour was nice. They have a studio and a one-bedroom, but the thing was that you had to bring all your own furniture because it's an apartment. They were just empty rooms."

"I toured Mission Commons. The lady there was very helpful with everything. It's a really nice place. The grounds are nice. They have a backyard where you can walk your loved ones around. They have activities. You can have your hair down there. I mean, it just offers a lot for the people who are there. The one I saw was like a studio. It was nice and roomy. They had a little kitchen, a refrigerator, and a closet area. The upkeep was very nice. The grass was mowed. Everything was clean. I would recommend the place. They have a gym and a hair salon there. They have a little area where you can play, like do puzzles, and it's for people who want to sit there or chat. Also, they're pet-friendly."

"I visited.It's an assisted living place and overall it was fine for me especially because they had an enclosed little dog park. The place was beautiful. The person who assisted me during the tour was wonderful. He was very good with follow-through and was very personable. I also observed that they have a very friendly staff."

"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."

"My father is enjoying his time here. He appreciates the staff and they're all very kind and helpful. The facility has everything he needs and he enjoys the library. The rooms are large and a good size. His room didn't come furnished, so we had to bring stuff in, which was nice because we got to get him exactly what would work for him. It's more of an apartment. They have two large dining rooms so they can accommodate all the residents at the same time. They have a library."

"Our experience being in The Oasis Community is very good and I've been here for 16 years. They're all single-family homes, independent living. It's a beautiful community that's gated so there's high security, and it's well-kept. The staff is very helpful, they do a good job. They don't provide any meals but there are lots of activities and lots of clubs and committees to volunteer on. They've got a beautiful swimming pool and tennis courts. There's a large clubhouse that's beautifully done, it's been redecorated in the last few years. There's also a gym, a library and a lot of available exercise classes. It's reasonable in terms of value for the money. It's in an attractive location, Menifee is a relatively small city, about 100,000 people, but it's growing quickly. There's lots of shopping very close by, so it's a very well situated location."

"My mom was there for 1 year, from May 2024 to May 2025. The home is clean. The meals are healthy and balanced. My mom was well taken care of by owner and staff."
