"I was very happy with my mother's stay at Regency Park Oak Knoll. I was particularly happy with all the activities that they offered. My mother is still quite able-bodied, and they paired her with a group of similarly active people. Everyone on the staff seemed personally invested and treated residents with a genuine kindness. I highly recommend Regency Park Oak Knoll."

"I toured Pasadena Highlands. Janine, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and informative. She gave us a complete tour. She was open to all our questions. She was new, so there were a few questions that we had that she wasn't sure of. However, she got the information back to us within a day or two. The property is a high rise. The outdoor space was incredible. The garden and the walking path were very peaceful and welcoming. That was nice, even though it was on a major street. Unfortunately, the time that we went there, it was right after the fires and the high winds that we had. Even though a lot of the shrubberies and the trees were thinned out a bit because of the wind, they still helped block the noise from the major street, so that was nice. As for cleanliness, I didn't see anything that stood out. It didn't smell like they were trying to cover up bad smells or anything like that. However, the building was not conducive to my parents being so large. It is also old. I don't know how long it's been there, but I think it's been there a while. There was another assisted living community that burned down, and so they accepted a lot of the residents from that community. We didn't get to see an apartment because they were all booked. The office where we met Janine was a converted apartment that they use now for an office, and I think the size of it was adequate for one person, but not two."

"Ivy Park at San Marino is the nicest in my father's price range that I've seen, and it's also literally up the block from where he lives and where his brother and sister live. It was incredibly clean and well kept. We actually had lunch. My dad didn't want to stay, so they asked if they could pack him a lunch, and he said yes. They packed up their special of the day. We took it home and ate and it was delicious. I like that the menus have a lot of choices. It seems like the food was very fresh. We looked at a one-bedroom and a studio. The one-bedroom was very large. He even said, "Oh, this is larger than what I expected," which was good. There was a lot of staff around. I wish the grounds were bigger. I wish there was more outside space for him to walk around. That's probably the biggest and only really deficit that I noted during our time there. It was excellent. I would live there if I needed it. I've seen a lot in the past and it was definitely the best kept property. My father is not aware of how disabled he is, and his remark afterward was, "Oh, I could see myself living there," which I thought was great. And then he said, "In a couple of years.""

"I love volunteering at Solheim because the care and companionship they provide for their residents is definitely something to note. It really sets them apart from other communities I've volunteered at over the years. Solheim has always been one of the happiest environments I visit. Residents are always busy doing a fun activity like enjoying live music with their friends, going on outings, participating in painting classes, playing various games, and so much more. There is a skilled nursing facility on site (like a hospital setting) so if your loved one needs any kind of rehab after a fall or surgery, they can take care of them right here in the comfort of their own community and with help of the super friendly staff onsite. Staff and residents always seem to have a smile on their face! The cleanliness here is also something to note. Everything I have learned about Solheim over the years I have liked and would recommend this community to any of my family members any day! And everyone else too!"

"We toured Sparr Heights Estates Senior Living. They have an activity calendar with things scheduled all day long. They get the residents to the activities. The day I toured, they had bingo, an art project, and a singing session. They had musicians come in with cellos that played the concerts for them, so I'm very impressed. They have some facility pets there that they bring around for the residents. I brought my three teenage children with me and we've been there for five hours, and my kids loved it. Linda was so accommodating, and with different personal issues going on with each family and their needs, she was able to exhaust how they could help with all of that, and I was impressed. We didn't eat there but while we were there, Linda had snacks brought in for my kids. The other thing that is special about this place is, that other places have locked-up hours that you can't go visit. At Sparr Heights, you can visit 24 hours a day. If I wanted to check in at 3 a.m. I could and I'm allowed to spend the night if I want. I'm just amazed. It's such an open-door policy. They're like completely transparent on everything there. I have been to facilities that look more high-class than this one. This facility, it's like you don't walk into it thinking it's a five-star hotel, it's a bit more homey."

"Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles was very clean and the staff was very helpful. It's gated so it's very safe. I saw the dining hall and then a one-bedroom. It was nice. We are looking for a bilingual or more of a Japanese-speaking facility, and this person helped me and showed me around. She was fully bilingual. So, that would have been good for my friend. It was a good experience."

"A couple of weeks ago, I visited Hollenbeck Palms in Los Angeles and I like that very much. They have a chapel which is unique. The location is not ideal as the surrounding area is not exactly high class but I still really like it. It's the best out of every place that I have visited so far. The people were very friendly. I was able to meet a number of residents and I was impressed by how friendly they were. I only met one staff member and she was very helpful. I would rate her very highly. I probably need to say though that all I can afford at Hollenback is a studio apartment because if you're going to get a 1-bedroom, there's a substantial buy-in of over $200,000. That is a bit of a difficulty for me. I was also impressed by the food. I had lunch there with some nice people. The food was the best of all that I have had and I had lunch at several places I visited. They had the one thing the others did not have and that's the chapel. That appeals very much to me."

"I went to Belmont Village Burbank. I like the amenities. There's a movie theater, a beauty salon, and a nice patio area for the guests. It feels very comfortable, warm and inviting. The staff who gave the tour was very informative, very professional, very positive, and welcoming. The dining area was spacious. The menu looked good and I thought the selections were good, too. The guests seemed happy. It seemed like a nice club-like setting."

"Hollywood Hills is a wonderful facility. Mom is quite comfortable with it. We, as a family, are comfortable with the way they take care of her, the atmosphere there, and the facility as a whole, like the physical therapy, the exercises, the meal plans, everything that they have to offer. We just love it. The memory care staff is wonderful. They are very caring, very understanding, and very patient. They are very specific to the needs of each person. Mom has a low sodium diet and they're very attentive to making sure that her meals are like that, but still very tasty, because she's an extremely picky eater. They have daily movies, they do field trips on Fridays, live music on Tuesdays, exercises every day during the week, lots of walking, and lots of communication with other residents and staff. Everything is pricey. You get what you pay for is true to form."

"My friend has moved into Ivy Park at Burbank. It was a great experience from the beginning. The parking was easy and accessible to the main lobby. When we got to the main lobby, a welcome sign welcomed us for the tour. We had a wonderful tour. It was very informative about just the general property. The property itself was clean and bright. What impressed me was that they were all well-groomed and pleasant, and they weren't pandering. You knew they were health care professionals that cared and tried to take an interest in the person. That's what meant a lot to me. So I was very impressed with that. The place itself was beautiful. The model we saw that became my friend's studio apartment was beautiful, too. The place was newly renovated. They have new appliances and new cabinets. Just cheerful and wonderful. I can't say enough about Ivy Park. I think their services are fine. My friend just came out of the hospital, but I know that she is getting all the services there at Ivy Park. She's getting her medications managed, she's getting great meals, and today, physical therapy was coming up. We met the activities director, and there are activities, but my friend is not able to participate at this time. But I know the activities are great."

"I liked CityView, but it's very pricey, and there's no outdoor area. It's out in the city, so there are no grounds. It's nice and clean, but it's a little dark inside for me. They take the residents out, and they play bingo. The place was lovely, and the staff was very accommodating and very nice. They also showed me the memory care where you have to share a room with somebody."

"We visited the Bethany Towers assisted living facility while searching for a suitable assisted living facility for our great aunt. Many of our family members live in the area, so this would be an ideal place for her to live. The outer grounds looked well-kept and pleasant. The staff greeted us and seemed very warm and friendly - which is the most important thing to our family. We want our aunt to be treated well in his new home. The foyer was nicely decorated and seemed homey, as did all of the communal rooms. The private spaces were all clean, well-kept and conveniently designed. They take the time to personalize to each resident's tastes. The dining areas were nicely designed and warm. Residents may choose communal dining or more private situations. There are places for them to visit with families, as well. The food looked deliciously prepared, as well as nutritious. The dietician and chef changes up the menu to keep it interesting and encourage resident to make suggestions. The activity calendar features many healthy and stimulating activities. They have outings to local libraries, events, culture, restaurants, shopping and athletic events. They take suggestions to update the schedule as much as possible. We really liked that the staff encourages participation and tries to make everything interesting for its residents. Staff appeared to make every effort to ensure that the residents were both safe and comfortable in this living environment. "

"I toured Oakmont of Whittier. Everybody looked professional. They offered everything from a beautiful movie theater to a salon, and barbershop. They have a beautiful courtyard, a beautiful dining area, and they have a little coffee shop type of thing for morning people, a big workout room, and a therapist. They use a massage table, that was all downstairs, a beautiful library, and a nice, big living room where they have entertainment or activities, big entertainment like wine tasting and stuff like that. And then they have their Bible studies for men. They have a lot on their menu for activities and it's very clean."
