Nursing Home Communities in Palo Alto, CA

"I like the facility's individualized care plan for their residents meaning everyone has different cases, different situations which they have their own needs that requires specific care. "

"Channing House is very nice. It's quite large. They have a walking track on the top of the building so people can walk around the top. There's a gorgeous view of the Santa Cruz mountain range, which is near us. The units cost by the floor. So if you live on the second floor, you don't pay as much as the people who live on the 10th with a wonderful view. The view is spectacular. It overlooks Stanford University and the mountain range beyond that, so it's quite a nice view. It's to die for, I would say. It's a huge, huge complex. On each floor, I would guess there might be at least 20 units. They have a stovetop, a microwave, and a fridge. On each floor, there is a full kitchen, so if someone wanted to bake cookies at Christmas, she could go down the hall, sign up for the kitchen and use that. But they don't have full kitchens. They also don't have washing machines. All the other places have a washing machine in a little closet. So you have to sign up for your day, you go down the hall, and you do the wash. So it's a little bit less service. All the others have full other things in the apartment. Channing House has some wonderful activities and lots of trips out. This place also has a shop, which my husband liked a lot in the basement for men who want to build like they have electric saws in there. It's run by a resident who makes sure that men don't go in there and cut their fingers off, so that was a nice feature. It does have parking for residents. At Channing House, you have to pay a thousand dollars to even apply and then you use your money up and you don't get anything back. When you die, your unit gets resold."

"Webster House is a small place, and there are few residents. Everything looks very nice. It doesn't have any views. It's only four stories high and it looks onto trees if you're up on the fourth floor. But it is on a very busy street corner. The side street that it's adjacent to is busy, and that is a disadvantage. People can walk downtown Palo Alto, and it's a pleasant area. It's a senior- friendly area. We didn't have a meal. We had a good tour. The place is very nice. The units are a little smaller. They had a couple of larger units on the top floor that are very nice two-bedroom units. I'd say that if I could live there, I'd be happy at this building, but I wouldn't want to look out onto Lytton Avenue, which is one of the things to look out on. So, there's a little disadvantage with the location. But they have a pool, a nice dining area, and protected parking. I think it's important that in all of the cases, these people have parking that is protected. The staff was very nice. But the patio was not as large and it's a little more constricted."

"My mother has moved into Lytton Gardens. The care that she's being given is very detailed and correct, especially in this time of the pandemic. The facility is very clean, and they have maintenance people that can help cater some items for her. They've got very beautiful grounds, and she can take walks within it without having to go outside the community. The food is excellent. Their business department has been very good, and very quick to get her in within a month. She has a studio apartment, but they have a variety. Their activities are varied depending on the pandemic. Right now, California is doing well, so she has chair exercises and they even manage luncheon meetings, but with appropriately placed chairs and things. They have bingo. We were pleasantly surprised with this facility. They have a doctor and a nurse there, and lots of staff support. They bring the food to their rooms, which is nice because of COVID-19. She has not just regular American food; they make some nice, fancy things, desserts, and vegetables. They have five or six items for each meal. It's an older building, so there are long narrow hallways, but it's oriented to the outside. She has a little patio she can sit in on the ground floor. They had a number of things before the pandemic hit, and now it's minimal."

"I visited facility several times. Staff immediately approached me smiling and offered help. Facility is very clean and patients look very happy. I asked one of the patient if she likes the place and she replied it's the best nursing home in the area. I was convinced after I was given a tour of the facility, that place is very well managed, owners care about their residents and employees. "

"The Terraces at Los Altos is not a large facility, and it looks pretty decent. They have a below-market value on different units, so that's also habitable. I've made two visits there. One was a luncheon with the facility so we could taste their food and get a little idea of what's going on there. Then the second one was to view the sites, see the units that were available, and see what they offer as far as amenities go. The people who gave the tour were very knowledgeable and very nice. The residents seemed very nice, too. It's very well kept up, very clean, and neat. The grounds are kept up. It doesn't have any odors. It smells fresh and clean. The food was delicious. I like the facility. The dining area was very nice. It was a large room with a lot of staff to help."

"I was very impressed during my recent visit to Villa Siena. All the staff I met were very friendly and more than helpful in showing me the facility and answering any questions I had. The residents also were friendly and looked well-cared for. There seemed to be a good variety of activities provided, including as a Catholic facility, daily mass and prayer. They have a beautiful courtyard and everything looked clean and well-maintained."

"My mother went to Grant Cuesta Sub-Acute and Rehabilitation Center after the hospital. It's literally a rehab facility. The staff is wonderful, they're great people, and they seemed really interested in caring for the patients."

"Excellent facility ! Beautiful location . Exceptional caring staff and much more . I and family are so pleased with staff and how well maintained the facility is kept !"

"Sequoias-Portola Valley was an excellent place. It has a square layout with a central office, a lounge, and a dining area. The units were scattered all around, and they were all on one level. There was a swimming pool, a gym, and an arts and crafts room. The grounds were very pretty. The lady was very honest, helpful, and straight to-the-point. I really thought she was excellent. We may move to this place in two or three years."

"My father was admitted to Los Altos Rehab Center about 7 months ago. We have found that this center has the most caring, loving, and professional staff. My dad had very serious conditions and complications, and I could trust the staff that they have done their best. It was the best decision we made to have my dad there, since by no means we could have supported him at his home the way he was supported at this facility, and we had peace of mind, to know that he was well taken care of even when we were not there all the time. At his passing, Laura director of activity was very supportive, and despite her busy schedule attended to his funeral and the staff has been keeping in touch to see how my family is doing, We strongly recommend Los Also Rehab center to anyone in need of care for their love ones. The staff are really angels and we do not know how they handle all the people with serious conditions, and stay calm and caring. I personally want to thank, director of center Marc, for his support in moving my dad to another room because of his room mate situation, Janet the social worker who supported us through out difficult times, Laura director of daily activities who brought all patients together on daily basis keeping them interetsed and have them involved, while socializing with one another, most kindest and caring people were the nurses: Miss. Nini, Sheila, Melanie, Merta, Lizel. Last but not least the nurses assistants specially Bijo, Wanchi, and the list goes on, who had the most difficult job, but dispite of that they did so much for my dad I can't never thank them enough for all the care and love an attention they have given my dad up to his last breath and beyond. "
