There was still storage space and space for people to have things and do things in their apartments. The grounds were clean. I really liked that facility. Everything was very nice. I liked the staff that I met. The people there were friendly, open, and helpful. Their accommodations were nice."

"I was looking at the memory care part of the Terraces, and it was a little small, but they were all really nice, and everything was clean, there were no smells, and they were just a little expensive for me, but they were quite nice and quite helpful. "

"Clearwater at Sonoma Hills was beautiful. I was very impressed. I know the chef there from a previous place, and the food was great. I like the way it's set up, the layout, the salesperson, and the activities. The staff was very good, very knowledgeable, and a very good salesperson."

"I toured Windsong of Sonoma. It was very nicely appointed. It was newly upgraded and it seemed like a very nice community. The people that I saw there were friendly. The rooms are quite spacious. They were newly painted and newly carpeted, and they looked very clean and nice, and very comfortable. During the tour, the staff were very nice and personable. The manager that we spoke to was very knowledgeable and had some good suggestions, and it seemed like the few that we were introduced to knew what they were doing. I liked the fact that they were all in the same type of uniforms and that sort of thing. It was very good."

"My mom moved to MuirWoods Memory Care. The staff is very helpful, very pleasant, and courteous. The food is nutritious and tastes fine. It's a good size room, plenty of space, and clean. They always try to keep the residents busy. They have some crafts, and they do bingo. One day, I was there, and they had balloon volleyball."

"It was very nice. It was very well laid out, very clean, modern, and well-kept. Their menu looked like it had a very good assortment of food. I was there at lunchtime and saw other residents eating, and the food was very appetizing. They have several activity rooms that were well maintained and set up for things for people to do. The apartments were also well-kept, well maintained with a nice assortment of floor plans. Everything was what I expected. So, it was a pleasant experience. Omar was fantastic. He took me around and showed me everything. He was very knowledgeable, easy to work with, polite, and patient."

"Healdsburg was a nice location. I liked the little vegetable garden that they have in the back that you could work in. Also, they had some animals there, which I thought was a nice aspect of it since I'm a country girl. The people were all very nice. I thought the food was rather bland. I was not impressed with it. It was kind of a small place. That's what my friend said about it. I think they only have like 35 people or something and it seemed to be rather religious-oriented. So, she kind of thought that she wouldn't be as comfortable there. She'd rather be in a place with around 100 people and have more access to finding someone that she would hit it off with more."

"Diana was the one we worked with us here and she was phenomenal and so helpful. She gave great insights on how to help mom in the best way. Their amenities were outstanding. They had two 5-star restaurants and then another nice restaurant. They had snacks out that people could come and get at any time. So it wasn't just three routine meals. They were open all the time with snacks and if you wanted something extra, you could get it. You could either have the food taken to your room, like room service, or you could go to the restaurant. They had a happy hour in their general area so it was just phenomenal. It was luxury resort living. Diana showed us two studios and a one-bedroom. The studios were very nice with had very different layouts that would work well for anybody. On the first one that we walked down, I noticed that the kitchenette was a little bit further from the bedroom and the living area, which in our instance was a little bit of a walk, but for a regular person, it was just right there. The next studio was more of an all-inclusive. It was very clean. They had one that looked onto the courtyard in the center with all of its fountains and flowers, while the other one was secluded, like a parking lot kind of view that looked over the tennis courts and things like that. The one-bedroom was very spacious and very nice. They had very short hallways, so there was not a ton of walking and it's soundproof. You could be in the hallway and not hear any of the other residents' televisions or anything. It was well done."

"The staff is a cohesive team that obviously has been carefully chosen and well trained. First and foremost when I visit, you can feel this. The residents also I am sure do, because they seem all well cared for and you can see a community environment. We are blessed to have mom in such a community! I have toured many places and very few have this good "feel". All there from the top down have really put forth great effort to make this transition as smooth and financially smooth as possible! Thanks so very much! "

"I liked the largeness of Atria Tamalpais Creek; I didn’t feel like I was getting lost. It didn’t have a swimming pool, so I was kind of disappointed, but it was truly beautiful. I toured it a couple of times, and I was at their Easter brunch; the food was awesome. The staff and services are awesome. It had two dining rooms with comfy chairs. They had a sit down volleyball game stretched across the library, which was really interesting and really cute. I think they had arts classes and beauty shops. It had a lot of parking but you don’t get your own space; I’m not yippy skippy about that. It’s very homey, too. "

"I visited. The staff was very helpful. The rooms were very nice. There was a very nice atmosphere. We did look at the rooms and the common rooms, and they seemed quite good. The dining room looked very nice. What we like about the place was that it was stair-steps, and if you needed more care, it was available there. They had Alzheimer's care. What we were impressed with was that they had a lot of information about expediting their old people getting in there. My father was a Veteran, and they had some information on that. They were just very forthcoming with the information. We would have him go there because it looked like a really nice spot for him, and it looked like something that would fit his needs. Security seemed adequate. "

"I moved to Oakmont of Novato. It is clean and comfortable plus the people are very kind. The executive director, the vice president, the front office, the waiters and waitresses, and the people are extremely kind. I'm happy here. They serve three meals a day. The dining room is open from 7:30 up to 7:00 in the evening and you can always ask something. They have a separate room where they have like once-a-day or twice-a-day happy hour. The people can have drinks and some snacks. They have a lot of good programs here. The value for money is good but a little bit expensive. The building surrounds this garden, so we can go outdoors. There are tables and you can sit down there. There's a fountain, and the water's noise is nice. Also, they have some place where they play something like bocce, an Italian sport."

"I have looked at places back in January when I was thinking of moving my mom. Nazareth Napa Rose Garden was the first one to respond to my inquiry. I saw some other facilities but I just had a really good feeling that Nazareth Napa Rose Garden is where I will move my mom. Every aspect of the place was good including Mirasol’s professionalism and every people I talked to who work there was great. One thing that really impressed me was that everybody has been there in fair amount of time including Mirasol. She’s been there for like 15 years. The lowest staff time there was around 5 years. The staff is very helpful and all of the residents are taken care of. I’ve been totally satisfied with everything there. It’s a small place and they have around 38 people which I really like. It’s not fancy like a resort type of facility but it’s clean and very functional. They all have what they need. The staff is very responsive to my questions and they’re right there to help me. I’ve eaten there a few times. Their food tastes fine. It’s a challenge to feed seniors but they try to accommodate the resident's’ preferences. The keep the residents active and motivated. Everytime I go there, there’s always something going on. They have snacks, movies and people singing which I think is a big plus. "
