The Best Independent Living Communities in Riverside County, CA

"WellQuest of Menifee Lakes looks like a country club: the facility itself, the setup, and the decor. That's where rich people should be. Their staff was very nice and professional. They had a coffee bar and snacks and all that, but I didn't taste their food."

"I have lived for 3 months it has been an adjustment but I am adjusting now . Love that my cat has his own area in the patio which is important to me. I am going to join some of the clubs soon ."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Four Seasons at Hemet was the best community. I don't think we could have ever lived in a nicer one. They had a social calendar. We never missed a happy New Year for the 10 or 12 years we lived there. It was the greatest community. They were always having something like concerts out on the patio, in the courtyard, and dances. All kinds of things and we had a social director. They had a lot of exercise facilities too. They did trips and it was an active community. We had a very nice house, 3 bedrooms, and a den. It was lovely. There was a little coffee shop in the clubhouse. The staff was wonderful."

"The people at Valle Hermosa seem nice. So far, I have no complaints. The neighbors seemed very friendly. The condos are two bedrooms and two baths, and it has a dining area and a living area. Some apartments have fireplaces. We cook our food, do our own housekeeping. The city government of Hemet can provide buses if you want to go some place. "

"My brother will be moving into Vista Montana Senior Living. It is very reasonable in price. They offer a lot of amenities. I like the management. They gave us the tour yesterday. They offer transportation for doctor appointment visits. They have assisted living care too. I think it's a good place for him. Honestly, it's reasonable for people who want to keep some money in their pocket. The staff was very professional, very kind, very friendly, very informative, and very patient. We saw the menu, and the menu looked good. They have a patio courtyard and activity room. It's also pet-friendly. They offer a free dish."

"I toured Chardonnay Hills Care Home. It's a house with wide aisles, which was great for wheelchairs. The kitchen and the living room were spacious. The floors were wood, so there weren't any smells."

"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."

"I am living in a senior home mobile community Plantation on the Lake. The people here are fantastic. It's a beautiful community. We have activities. We have two swimming pools. We had dinners once a month. We have ceramics and all kinds of stuff. They do a lot of trips to places on buses. The mobile home park is kept very, very clean. We have a crew that cuts the grass for the park individually."
