Nursing Home Communities in Palo Alto, CA

"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. "

"My grandma stays here and the staff seem attentive and on the ball. The Center is well-staffed and appear to always have someone available, if need be. They also have a nice garden area, as well as something of a physical therapy room. "

"I liked Sunny View Retirement Community. It has been there since 1964. It has a vibrant culture, it looked nice, and had a homey feel to it. They have an active building program, so they always seem to be adding and improving their facilities. I also liked that it's a nonprofit and that it offers a continuum of care. There's a lot of green space between the buildings. So, there's a lot of open space, and I think it's the largest campus of all the ones I saw. It's already full, so we looked at some units that were already occupied. They were set up well, and I liked them. They offered a wide range of activities, too."

"My wife was in Cedar Crest for about a month and a half in a shared room. They had good activities and did some outside. The people working there were very nice, and the food was good. "

"This facility is really nice and enjoyable. Grandfather stayed there for roughly 4-5 months. Always said good things about the caretakers. Plenty of activities for the people staying there as well. They were also very proactive when things got bad so we could get him the proper medical care. Overall I have nothing but good things to say! "
