The Best Independent Living Communities in San Bernardino County, CA

"My mom moved to assisted living 6 years ago, and for the last 4 years has been in memory care. Her geriatric assessments have gone down very little because of the activities, socialization and absolutely lovely staff. The facility is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable and through the difficult process of Covid, we always know she is in safe and caring hands. These folks have become family to us and I would advise anyone to tour this wonderful facility."

"This was the one that I liked the most. It was very, very nice. The staff I met were very friendly and very nice. The unit I saw was very clean and very nice. Their food looked good. I tried some of their cookies. The common areas were very clean and very nice. They had a library and a pool table. I was very impressed with the stuff that they had."

"Air Force Village was an excellent community. What I like about most was the levels of care. They are able to care of administering the medication by injection and not all facilities offer that. For me I would always go somewhere that offers that for my parents as my parents are insulin dependent. Everyone was friendly, highly informative and very patient, and the people that were living there were really glad with the decision they made. For my later years, I would go there. "

"My parents are currently in the assisted living of Claremont Manor. They've been there two years now. It has beautiful grounds and is quiet. They have a koi pond and a putting green. It reminded my wife of college. It's quite large. It has beautiful brick buildings. It has some small cottages on the outskirts that are little homes, where people with assisted living can stay in. It's very beautiful. The grounds are beautiful. It's a big campus, but everyone still knows -- the workers all know the people. It's not so big that you get lost. It's a wonderful location. For the more active seniors that live there, it's in a great location. It's just a short walk to downtown Claremont, where you have lots of different restaurants. The grounds are beautifully manicured. They have their grand entrance. They have a huge park with trees, grass, and sitting areas. It's a wonderful place to be. They have a restaurant and a little cafe. If you want to eat off schedule or if you want a snack, they have a little cafe. They have a library. There is a puzzle room with five or six tables, where people are working on puzzles and just kind of left there. Other people can come and help as they build them. If you're not finished and you leave, other people come finish. They have an area of the dining room that you can book for parties or family gatherings. There are several little courtyards that are nice to sit in and gather. We've done it and sat outside as a family and visited (especially on nice days). It's a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone is really nice. My brother and I contact them regularly, and they contact us."

"It has a community that is friendly, alive, living, full of life, very pleasant, and comfortable. They were a little more than adequate. It's an older place, but it's welcoming. Everyone that we've met was very pleasant and very friendly. It's a larger place than we had expected, but it was clean. It wouldn't get boring because it's larger. The dining area was very nice, very pleasant, and very inviting. They had parking, balconies, and an outdoor area, like a community place. They have karaoke. They have family get togethers. They have dancing and live music. We were actually greeted by people who lived there and said this is a great place to live (which no other place we went to did that)."

"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."

"We chose here for my brother. It's a big facility, and it had more range of younger people; that is why we chose this for him. The size of the facility seemed to have more things to offer for my brother. The food is very good. I have eaten there a couple of times myself, and the waitresses are very accommodating. The rooms were clean, and then the staff that comes in to clean are very good. It would be nice if they would have more personal transportation for my brother if he needed to go some places. "

"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."

"I like Clearwater at Glendora. It's awesome, and the people that work there are super awesome. It's immaculate, organized, and welcoming. The staff is awesome. It's very crisp, very sunny, bright and happy. They showed me everything. They showed me where they eat, and they showed me the various rooms that they have. Everything looks very new. Everything is clean and fresh and not stuffy at all. It's not a small area that tries to squeeze a lot of people in. It's a big area. The apartments were very spacious compared to the other ones that I saw."

"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'll be moving into The Meridian at Anaheim Hills this weekend. I saw the rooms, but I think they're a little pricey. They have an ice cream parlor and a pizzeria. They showed us the gym but nobody was there. The staff was very informative."

"Magnolia at Highland is okay, but it has many rules and regulations. When you get old you're tired of rules and regulations. The room is very clean and the people get along well. You do your own cooking because it’s not assisted living. You do your own cleaning unless you have a caregiver. It’s a no smoking facility. You have to go to the sidewalk if you wanted to smoke, which is good. They have potlucks and birthday celebrations every month -- they do a lot of things for the seniors. They have a card club, swimming pool, and a recreation room that we exercise in. They've also got a barbecue grill. "

"We put in a credit application at Vintage at Kendall, but my daughter was denied. The visit was great. The property was well kept up, and the people were very nice. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The grounds and the amenities were very nice. I remember they had a recreation room and another room where they played pool. They had a pool outside, a barbecue area, and garages that you could rent. "
