The Best Independent Living Communities in San Bernardino County, CA

"I toured Oakmont of San Antonio Heights. They just seemed to have everything. The only issue is that it is very expensive. The staff was not only helpful, but they were good with my kids being there. They have a library. They have a doctor. They've got physical therapy. They've got a massage. They've got a movie theater. You name it, they got it. It is a great place if you can afford it."

"I was very impressed with Meridian at Chino. I like them. The facility is beautiful. The rooms are spacious and nice. The staff is very nice and friendly. Stacey, the director, was so knowledgeable and helpful. She's willing to work with families to place your parents there. If you have trouble with finances, they have some type of program that will assist families, so there won't be a financial burden on them, which I found great. They were wonderful. They are caring and willing to help anybody out. When I was in the office with Stacey, she offered me water, snacks, and things like that. I was able to tour the dining area, which is also beautiful. It looks like a fancy restaurant. The facility is like a beautiful resort when you walk in."

"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 cannot say enough about the extraordinary care my parents have received at Claremont Manor. This community has truly been life‑saving for my father and a source of comfort for my mother. My father, age 86, was admitted to the skilled nursing facility after a series of falls and a fractured rib that revealed stage 4 prostate cancer. At his previous facility, he had lost hope. I am convinced that without the intervention and support of Claremont Manor, he would not be with us today. From the moment he arrived, the staff treated him not just as a patient, but as a person deserving dignity, compassion, and attentive care. Equally remarkable has been the support for my mother, who moved into the assisted living side of the community. Even before she was officially a resident, the staff went out of their way to ensure she felt cared for and included. Their kindness and attentiveness have made an incredibly difficult transition manageable for both of my parents. I want to give special recognition to three individuals whose efforts have made all the difference: - JD – who coordinated and expedited my father’s transfer, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and with urgency. His dedication and professionalism were critical in getting my dad settled. He knows every patient by name and regularly walks the facility and interacts with them in a warm and friendly manner that we always look forward to. - Cindy – my first point of contact, who graciously took the time to answer every question and always returned my calls. Her warmth and responsiveness reassured me during a very stressful time. - Joanna – the nurse who welcomed my father the night he arrived. Her compassion and attentive care have been a constant source of comfort. She continues to provide loving, skilled support that has helped my father regain hope. Claremont Manor is more than a facility—it is a community of people who genuinely care. They have given my family peace of mind, and most importantly, they have given my father a chance to keep living with dignity and hope. I am profoundly grateful."

"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."

"I toured West Park Senior Living and if somebody needed the help, it was perfect. They have a beautiful dining room for you to eat. They also have another little room if you want to play cards or if you want to do any kind of activities. They had quite a few things to do if you wanted to do them. The staff are very, very nice people. You ask them questions, they'll tell you exactly what you want to hear. Everything is good there."

"I went to Sierra Vista Independent & Assisted Living. The staff was very helpful. She gave me a very nice tour. They had some detached two duplexes, which I thought would work out very well for my stepbrother, but I would not call it a good neighborhood at all. Right across the street was a mobile home park. There was a gentleman out on the road working on a ratty old motor home with music blaring, and I just did not feel that would be a neighborhood to put my stepbrother. The meals were provided there. They had laundry rooms, an exercise room, and a game room."

"I toured Park View Place. The facilities are newer. It's not a very big facility. Everybody seemed to know each other. Everything was well organized and clean. The staff was great. Everyone was welcoming and willing to answer any questions we had. The place was extremely clean. We saw two rooms, and they were in great shape. There's nothing wrong with it."

"We toured Clearwater at Glendora. It looks pretty new, well-kept, and has a lot of decorated places to sit, lots of activities going on, and recreational facilities. The food was good."

"My aunt and uncle moved to Bayshire Yorba Linda. They can accommodate a lot of things. The grounds are kept clean and the atmosphere is very inviting. It was very spacious. It didn't seem like everything was kind of crammed in. The people that we met there were very helpful and very kind. We haven't run into any problems as far as helping my aunt and uncle. The food is very good. My uncle is not as social as my aunt. Even within memory care, they have a lot of activities to stimulate their brain, and to keep them busy. We've been very happy with the available activities. The value of memory care is awesome. It's pretty reasonable."

"I visited The Meridian at Anaheim Hills and toured their memory care for my mom. It was nice and organized, and everybody was very caring. It seemed like it had good activity programs. The memory care was clean and well-organized. They had a dining area and an activity room. The staff who toured me around was also very knowledgeable."
