"Ivy Park at Monterey was very nice and clean. There seemed to be a lot of activities. All the people I met and interacted with were great. They seemed to have a passion for what they're doing. They had something for them to do all the time, painting, game puzzles, trips to town, and artwork. There seemed to be lots of opportunities."

"Cottages of Carmel was a wonderful place for my mother to spend her final 3 years. The care and compassion starts at the top with Julie and Gina, and filter all the way down to the med techs, the dining personnel and even the cleaning staff. My mother enjoyed a warm and caring relationship with many of the staff members and had close friendships with other residents. The food was excellent and she enjoyed the group exercise classes and the daily walks and excursions. Beyond the outstanding facilities, the true caring nature of every person she encountered at Cottages make it a very special and unique place to call home. I am extremely grateful for the excellent care she received and highly recommend it."

"My father has moved into Madonna Gardens Assisted Living, but I haven't been there. My sisters took care of it. I toured it four years ago before it was finished. I think the atmosphere was great and cleanliness was good. The staff who toured me around was friendly and helpful. My dad loves the food; he's going to gain 50 pounds. I've only seen pictures of the rooms. I know they're gonna have happy hour today at 4:00. So far, the family is very happy with it, and so is he."

"I visited the Vista Harden Ranch. They're in the moderate level as far as pricing. As far as availability, though, they have a great facility. The only thing wrong with it is the amount of walking space. They don't have a lot of space for walking. The rest of the facility was very clean. I would live there. The people were hospitable and very nice. Vista Harden Ranch had my name, and they said, 'Welcome,' and all the rest were on a chalkboard as I came into the facility, so it was nice that way. They gave me a gift at the end when it was all over. Those are nice qualities for that, although this staff is more on the younger side as far as experience."

"Merrill Gardens at Monterey was very nice, but they didn't have a garden. They're sort of in a valley. They had hardly any parking. It's fairly new. The parking space was supposed to be in the garages, but there were never any garages built because the city didn't give them a water permit, so they had to use their own facility there and they store the water under their building. It's open, spacious, and wonderful. They have a first class chef who waited on my daughter and me and I can only say the best things about her. The place was very nice, but I didn't like the layout of their apartments. It's wasted space because it's a large kitchen, but it had a very small dining area. Even though they say they have a swimming pool, it's as big as an oversized Jacuzzi and that can fit maybe eight people, but only standing up if they do exercises. They said you can take nice walks around the garden. It's au naturel. The staff was very nice and the food was excellent."

"Aegis of Aptos is a very beautiful facility. It's like a big apartment complex almost. The quarters are wide, well-lit and very comfortable. It has an outside are that was completely fenced. There are a lot of places to sit in the garden. I was looking at the memory care unit and it was divided into two separate sections. They have a very good staff-to-patient ratio. They serve quite nutritious foods and they have a lot of options to choose from. It was really a great facility, however, it was just too expensive for us. "

"We decided to visit Sunshine Villa Assisted Living since it is relatively close to where our aunt has vacationed in the past. The grounds were spacious and well tended. We liked the area a lot and there are plenty of affordable accommodations for family members who visit from out of town. We liked the vibe - it was friendly and casual, yet the business of taking care of those who needed it was being attended to. There is plenty of staff to take care of basic needs and cleaning, so everything works out fine. All of the areas were pleasant to be in and we could see that the residents thought so, too. The activities ranged from board games, to discussions, private reading and watching film and TV some people were also using computers. The staff is well-versed at taking care of a variety of types of people, from those who are not ambulatory to people who have memory issues. Our aunt is in the early stages of dementia it comes and goes so she needs to live in a place that can handle this. The food looked well-prepared and appetizing. Dining areas were welcoming and nicely designed. All of the indoor areas were all clean and bright. There is plenty of sunlight so that they do not need to use lighting when it is sunny outside. This is true for many of the dwelling spaces, as well. Our aunt likes to make artwork, so the lighting is really appreciated. The activities they plan regularly include everything from visiting local restaurant favorites, the public library and movies to day trips to the ocean. They have planned exercise classes but also offer residents to work out any time they wish. We liked that they encourage exercise a people with early dementia can be forgetful. This is a lovely facility and we would recommend that those interested go and check it out for their loved ones. "

"My 92-year-old mom moved into Twin Lakes Manor in early 2020. With their consistent quality care, she has improved dramatically with increased appetite, improved cognitive ability, and expanded activity. From the beginning, I feel that the care team is like a family and that Twin Lakes Manor is like a home. They genuinely care about my mom and her quality of life. They have been extremely careful with covid-19 protocols while still allowing me to visit with my mom, which I greatly appreciate. I know my mom is safe there and she is comfortable and happy with the care she receives. I have a good relationship with the management and staff and feel that we are a team in caring for my mom. Twin Lakes Manor is the perfect solution for our family's needs."
