The Best Independent Living Communities in , LA

"I went to Stonebridge Place because my ex-husband's brother and sister-in-law already reside there. I booked an appointment because I was hoping to get him there as well. They gave me a tour. It's nice. It's one huge facility. Everybody has their own private apartment. You have a kitchenette, dining area, a little den area or a living area, and then a seperate bedroom. They have a huge dining room downstairs where everybody congregates to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have different types of events that take place to entertain their residents there. They have a hair salon and a place for people to worship. It's everything you want in one place. They also provide 24/7 medical help as required. The memory care facility is on a different wing. It was nice and clean. There's a little patio garden area. I've only interacted with a couple of staff, one was the manager who graciously showed me around. You can go down and have a hot meal and you can also keep stuff in your apartment because they have a little kitchenette. None of that is taken from you. My relatives and I laughed and talked about old times, so that reassured me that they were fine. At the time, people were moving around somewhere outside in the garden, talking amongst themselves, because it was pretty hot that day. Most of them were inside. It's very expensive. It's a private facility, and you get what you pay for. It's a nice facility, but it comes with a hefty monthly charge of about $4000. I know that's what the running rate is because I've already compared it. They're in a room together in an apartment-like setting together and they're not charging them per head. As a couple, there's a different rate."

"The Carriage House at The Verandah was beautiful, and I liked it. We toured their independent living, and they have every amenity anyone could ever wish for. Everyone there was so nice, and I just thought it was a fantastic place. I looked at two or three different floor plans, and I liked all of them. The person who gave the tour was very sweet and went out of her way to show us anything we wanted to see. Their dining room is beautiful. They have a pool, too. They have gardening, which I like doing, so that's what we mostly talked about. We checked the dining area, and it was almost like a top-notch restaurant. We did not eat, but it looked wonderful. I could not find one thing wrong with the place. It was very clean and well-kept. Our visit was after the snowstorm we had here, so they were cleaning up the garden area because it killed some of the plants."

"The rooms at The Gardens were more like hospital rooms and very small, but the whole place was nice. They offered three meals a day, and their dining room was very nice and like a restaurant with a menu that they bring to you. They had activities and transportation to go on outings. Overall, it was very nice. "

"I liked the Villas very much, but I did not make enough money to stay there. The surrounding were very nice, and it was near a hospital, a dentist, grocery store, and cemeteries. The person I met was very nice and very helpful. "
