Cogir Senior Living

My mother moved into Cogir of San Rafael a month ago from the Redwoods retirement community in Mill valley where she had lived for the last 2 1/2 years. It’s a wonderful community with a loving and caring staff and I couldn’t recommend it more! I never worry about my mom knowing that she is well cared for, entertained and always safe.

The food was a little salty for my loved one. I would highly recommend them, and already have to friends. Movie night, Wii bowling, exercises, outings around town, and more are some activities for the residents to choose from. They have a picnic and gardening area with walking paths.

Gresham Manor is a great place. My brother had a really good experience. He was really enjoying it here and starting to fit in. I like the staff members that worked here a lot, especially [name removed] and [name removed]. He will be moving out soon because he needs more care now and cannot live in independent living anymore, but it was a great experience.

This community is safe, well taken care of, clean. The care takers are friendly, help where needed. More like family, than managers.

I would just like to say the Regents Sales leader [name removed] is one of the reasons I chose to live here. Her laughter is so sincere and she made me feel like this was home the moment I walked through the doors.

Been here 2 years. Excellent home place. The people are like family here.

The Regent team defines "proficiency". They make things happen for our advantage.

The Seville residents have a sense of community. My parent is able to be independent yet have others nearby when desired. It's like High School trying to make friends and be accepted into the established friendship groups (cliques). The location is perfect-- within walking distance of the library, stores, fitness center, bus stops.

Our family had an in person tour and Merrill Gardens is a lovely community, everyone was very nice and accommodating. However the food plan was going to be an issue, its an additional fee every month and it was just not going to work.

We are dealing with Covid-19 by creative scavenger hunts around the hallways, hallway games, and hot meals delivered to our door. The staff here keep us safe and the areas clean. I miss live music Wednesday but our activities person plays hallway music on different halls daily. Our food is made by executive chefs and is healthy.

[name removed], the director of enviromental services, does a great job. My heating and cooling cover fell off and he fixed it right. I was outside taking care of my car using water bottles. He was washing windows right where i was and gave it a quick rinse. He always does a great job.

Experiencing dementia with a loved one is very challenging and often sad. Placing our mom at Monarch Cottage has helped tremendously. We expected the move to be a difficult transition for her. It wasn’t. This is due to Monarch’s whole environment, especially the love and care provided by their phenomenal team. Monarch’s strengths-based approach makes it a true stand-out. The environment is at once social, stimulating, and loving. Our mom absolutely loves being part of Monarch’s community. It’s almost like she is getting to return to her favorite days of college dorm life. The setting is also beautiful. An added bonus is the outstanding food – this is delightful since our mom continues to heartily enjoy this aspect of her life. At Monarch, our mom is the customer, and it shows. Monarch Cottage has made a huge difference in our lives. Seeing our mom happy at this stage has brought us joy at a time that we weren’t sure was still possible. I only wish she could have moved there sooner!

If you're reading this, I'm sorry your family is going through this. The Cogir is good. They work with you and help you go through it all. The care they provide is good, and my loved one is happy there. They keep things very clean, and I don't notice any unpleasant smells. I've been really happy with cleanliness.

We toured Quail Park and it is a very nice beautiful facility, it was just way out of our price range.

The Garden Club is an amazing place in such a great location. The staff members are 6 stars out of 5, they are so incredible. They are on a first name basis with everyone, they not only take great care of our loved one but also our family. Our loved one is still very mobile, but they also have no problem helping her get around when needed. The value for cost is also 6 stars out of 5, it is completely worth it.

This community was too expensive for what we were looking for. It was not our loved ones taste. It was too posh for her.

They are currently under construction. The transport person could use a little help. The front desk staff could use a little coaching but it is getting better. One of the staff is amazing and always goes above and beyond. The move in coordinator is also amazing. From June- September they never took out any payments so there was a very large bill. They are trying to take care of it now but it really put us in a bind. They used to have an ice cream truck to come up to the building. Now they go out to the ice cream store instead but it was easier when the truck came to them.

Very Positive

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff are friendly. They are responsive to questions or concerns I have over my loved one.

I thought that this community was great. It covered senior living and assisted living in one. I would highly recommend them.
