Atria

We really liked it. We liked that they went to Dana Point Harbor for walks. We just didn't realize that it would be so difficult for her to make friends and have social relationships, because the level of the other residents wasn't a good match for her. They are clean and friendly and all of that but it just wasn't a good match for my loved one.

Summerhill Villa is a very well-run facility, pristine, and so accommodating towards the residents. It is the perfect place for the elderly person who needs extra care but still wants to maintain a little independence. I was very impressed.

Homey atmosphere--food is superb and available at all times. Front desk staff, Michelle, is especially well liked by the residents and very friendly to relatives and friends dropping by.

It was a pleasure. Susan Hickey was our guide and we found the facility very enjoyable.

The staff at Atria could not have made this difficult transition easier. Deciding on a place for my Father to live was not an easy one, however necessary, and the staff as well as the Atria itself made this decision very easy. The staff is very welcoming and assuring. The Atria is very clean and decorated very nicely. I was informed of all the activities my Father would be involved in and his level of care that was needed and how they were planning on managing his care. I feel good knowing he is in a safe, clean environment with people who care and will take care of him. Thank you to the staff at Atria as well as "A Place For Mom" who was equally as helpful in finding the Atria for us and has been very supportive as well.

So far they love it. In comparing other places in the area, and what the pirce is covering, it's good, but if the rates go up for care needs, I would be concerned. The dining staff is incredible, they liked what they were doing, that says a lot. The food is good, if anything I think they give too many options, so if you are trying to work on decreasing your calories, it might be tempting. Maybe one desert a day would be good. Parking for visitors was a pain. It would be really helpful if they had some kind of chaperone or someone to call them up and invite them to the exercise room, or give a little more encouragement to join in and stay active. We chose them for the cleanliness, and the other residents, there aren't too many people or not enough and they seemed to be pretty happy.

It's beautiful and looks like a resort, like a big hotel. It's newer and in a nice area. My friends mom lives here and she loves it there. They take good care of her.

The staff at Atria were wonderful to my mother-in-law, and especially Connie Hunter went out of her way to make her respite stay a great experience.

Great.

I think they do a great job across the board here. What I am the most pleased with is the individual attention that is shown to each resident, the staff really gets to know everyone personally. The aides really go above and beyond making sure everyone is taken care of, and they check in on everyone frequently. The food here is also quite good, we visit and eat here frequently and we're always impressed!

Very helpful and thorough

I am very pleased with this community so far! They've done an excellent job across the board, and I'd rate them 5 on everything. The staff in particular have been wonderful, they're very friendly and they treat the residents like family. The food is also very good, I've had a chance to try it a few times myself.

We just moved my mother into Vintage Newport East. From the moment she walked in the door for the tour, other friendly residents greeted her. The staff have been very helpful and warm in welcoming her and helping her get settled. Prices seem moderate to me for the services and location and the respect and care that residents receive is just what we were hoping for.

The people are very friendly! It's a quite active community, there are a good variety of good activities. The one odd thing was that they didn't have a map, it would have been helpful for the first couple of weeks. We liked the number of open public areas, this was one of the reasons we chose them. There are good size meeting rooms and a library. They have a lot of places to meet, and they aren't all right down at the front. They felt kind of homey. I felt like it was very competitive for the price point. The rooms have a little architectural flavor, and they have a small full kitchen, and they all have either a sunroom or a patio.

My loved one stayed at this place briefly, and she really enjoyed it. It will definitely be our first pick if she needs to move somewhere long-term. We were really impressed by what we saw, I'd give them top marks across the board. The staff were very attentive, and did a great job of making all of the residents feel welcome and involved in the community.

Non-refundable fee of $5000 in addition to the rates pretty much puts it out-of-reach at this time.

My parents recently moved into Mission Hills after having been at another assisted living facility in the Coachella Valley. So far, I have been very impressed with the care and compassion of their staff and the cleanliness of the facility at Mission Hills. We had a very bad experience at another assisted living facility in the Coachella Valley, so I am not easily impressed by what is promised before move in day. However, the Mission Hills staff have done everything they promised and have gone out of their way to make my parents feel welcomed.

Beautiful community. We like the Alcove unit, first floor #133. If that floor plan is available closer to the central core of the facility, that would be preferred. Rate quoted $5250. Very clean. Staff very friendly. Food excellent.

Best facility toured. Beautiful and everyone seems so dedicated and caring. Impressive.

I visited over 20 properties before deciding on Atria Valley View. Was a little nervous going with a corporation owned facility, but this one really hit every one of my must haves. The facility feels more like home than any other place. Recently renovated, the rooms and social areas are very nice and inviting. The setting is beautiful with a level path that wraps around the building and allows residents to get outside in a safe area. The facility is dog friendly and my mom loves having the family dog visit frequently. The residents seem very happy and they are very social for the most part. Lot's of great activities and the food is wonderful. I've had six meals there so far and every one was delicious. The management is very caring and makes the process of transitioning a loved on into assisted living much less stressful. The care providers are for the most part very friendly and attentive. I wouldn't say they are all super friendly, but caring for the elderly can be a stressful job and I don't think I could be positive about it 24/7 either. Residents get pendants to call for help and my mom has used it frequently. Assistance typically arrives in 10 to 15 minutes. It has taken a little longer on occasion, but in general they have been responsive. My mom gets help getting from bed to the bathroom, moved to the dining room, walks outside, dressed in the morning, assisted showers twice a week, etc. My mom really did not want to go to assisted living, but she is thriving at Atria. She is sleeping better, walking better, has a more positive outlook on life and is making friends. Atria is a 60 minute drive from home for me (without traffic) and I happily make the trip frequently because she is doing so well at this place. I highly recommend Atria and really stress that although it is expensive, that in this case you really do get what you pay for...
