Independent Living Communities in West Covina, CA

"I will move into Sunnycrest Senior Living. It has a great program, the food is good, and the programs they put on during the day and at various times look interesting. It's close to a good hiking path or for walking. The atmosphere is great. The tenants that I met all seemed happy. It was clean and wonderfully kept, and had a nice courtyard. All the rooms were very nice. They have a gym, libraries, card playing, game rooms, and stuff like that. They were wonderful. All the people I met were first class."

"I liked the location of La Mirada Heights. I liked the building, and I was able to see two different rooms, and I liked those. I didn't eat there because I didn't have the time that day, and I didn't realize that you could do that. I think it's an excellent thing to have them have you eat there. I think the man's name was John, who gave me the tour. He was excellent. He gave a lot of good information. They offer three meals a day, light housekeeping, laundry, and activities. They have a small gym that has some machines in it, which I was looking for. I also have a small dog, and they're very accommodating for that. They have a place where you can take your dog out to relieve themselves. So that was a positive, too."

"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 did take a tour, and it was pretty good but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, specifically for my mom's needs. Overall, it was not a bad place. It was clean and the room was nice. I was impressed with the room. It was a second-floor room, the one they had available, and everything looked pretty clean. I didn't like that it was a multiple-floor building because I wanted my mom to be on the first floor but they only had a room available on the second floor."

"My mom is here. She has only been there a few weeks. The people that work there seem very helpful and very nice. My mom seems to like it. They do Bible studies and exercising. She has gone to bingo. She has a pretty good size room. "

"Pasadena Highlands is extremely good; I like the setup and everything. The dining area is nice; I sat there to eat. They sent us home with samples of the food their chef had made. I noticed that they had billiards and first-rate movies, not something from 1930. I noticed that there weren't people sitting in their wheelchairs with their heads down. They were actually getting ready to prepare for their New Year Eve's party. The staff is very professional, I don't see them talking down on their patients even when the patients get fidgety or fussy sometimes. In this community, the patients are engaged. In fact, the one introducing the people is also a patient, and I can't get over that. They look to make sure that the patient can actually handle a particular food. They sent her food home to eat, to see what she thought of it, and she loved it. What I like is that the residents are treated like human beings. There were a lot of people in this particular community, so at first I said "Oh, no." But then as I walked up and down, and looked at the things they were doing and their attitude to their patients, I was sold."

"Everybody here at Emerald Court is very friendly, and it's a very nice place. I enjoy the gardens, and they have a lot of activities. We get live entertainment frequently, and it's just really delightful. The staff members are wonderful. They're very caring and enthusiastic. They make you feel like you really are a family. I'm very pleased with the apartment. I have very high ceilings, and it's large. I really like that. It's a big one-bedroom. I like the living room because it's got that fat flooring that looks like wood. The bedroom is carpeted, but the living room is simulated wood. But I like that because I use a walker. They have studios and two-bedroom apartments. They have a courtyard and a library. There are walking paths throughout the entire property. If you want to take your little doggy for a walk, there's a place to go. They provide three meals a day, too."

"The rooms are large and bright. I particularly like that they are not wall-to-wall carpeting. Activity and dining spaces are full of sunlight and inviting."

"I had a very good tour of Oakmont of San Antonio Heights. The facility was great. One of the things I liked was they had a rehabilitation center on site. They had RNs on staff, so it seemed like they could give high-quality service. The rooms had nice window views and a nice layout. The staff was very friendly, and the gentleman who showed us around was excellent. They provided transportation for trips and shopping, and doctor's appointments. They had a movie theater, a salon, a massage room, and a game room. They gave us a gift, a dessert when we left and that was very good."

"I’m grateful that a friend at work recommended Lakewood. My parents are now here. They’ve had zero complaints. My mother in particular loves the place. She was there for a week and already had a bunch of friends. Incredible!"

"My father hates it there, but my family and I are fine with it. The staff is very attentive and everyone has been wonderful. My father isn't the easiest person to deal with but they've been very patient with him. The environment is lovely, the place is clean and they have a lot of activities. They have a lot to offer. The place is beautiful, well-decorated and lovely. We're having issues with the billing, because the person doing the billing doesn't seem to know what he's doing so my father is being reimbursed. Once a month, they have lovely concerts in their rose garden and they provide complimentary food. They have exercise daily, they have a walking club and they have a daily and weekly schedule of activities on the tables in the dining room."

"We went to The Meridian at Anaheim Hills. The lady who showed us the place was very nice. We met other people too. They're very friendly and very kind. They showed us two apartments. The closets were small, and the rooms were small. They had an open kitchen concept, which my mother hated. They had a lot of brown on the floor and dark brown furniture. The kitchens were all updated, but with brown cabinets. My mother didn't like that because it was too dark for her. They were open and they were having games and exercises. Other than the fact that the room wasn't for my mother, it was good. The dining area for the assisted living was open. It was right across the hall from where she was going to be. My mother walks with a walker, so she could just get there very easily, and that was a very nice convenience. We asked them for some lunch. We had some soup and the soup was pretty good. My mother liked it. We only met one or two people and they were very nice and very kind. The facility was very nice. Another thing I didn't like about The Meridian, it had the air conditioning and heating unit on the floor in the living room. It was ugly and it took up some space."

"Walnut Village was fantastic. The people I met were really nice and very informative. The place and the layout were beautiful. You couldn't want for anything more. The person who accommodated me was brilliant. I had so much fun talking with her. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and made you want to be best friends with her. The dining area and cafe looked great. I was able to see the skilled nursing facility as well as the memory care facility and both of them looked great."
