Holiday by Atria

Both my father and I loved this place. Really gave us a a cozy felling. The lay out of the visility I really love. I am going to say this is the place my father wants to live.

They're great, the staff is more than a five if you could rate them like that. My mother is enjoying it, of course it's up to the actual tenant how they particpate in things and all but she's liking it and there are things there that she can do. All these places are priced a little bit high, but we're getting what we're paying for. I'm about two hours away and I haven't been down there about once since we moved her in, but I just think overall the staff's friendly, the meals are great and they're there when she needs them.

Really liked this place, they have a 1st floor studio available for $2858 per month. Nice people, nice place, food seems good. My mom and I are going there Thursday for dinner (5:30).

We very much enjoyed meeting Rob in person after speaking with him several times and viewing all the information he had provided by mail as we had asked. He met us at the front door and immediately made us feel welcome and very comfortable. He asked whether we were interested in studio one or two bedroom and we began the tour of facility. We viewed a one bedroom on third floor we thought would be great and then a 2nd floor studio unit with a walk out balcony area providing a great view of the magnolia trees and raised garden beds that would perfect for Herbert. We then say another studio with a different floorplan, but the balcony one was wonderful. We met Allen also and he was very nice and provided us more info about food, social gatherings, and more.

It's a very fine facility. The person I know there is doing very well.

We love it. Absolutely great price and great value. The food is great. Once my mom wasn't answering her phone and I was super worried about her. I called front desk and they told me she was sitting outside on one of the steps and they went and told her I was trying to reach her which was great. She's taking the bus and going to all the activities. I only have wonderful feedback. My only complaint has nothing to do with redwood itself. I just wish she was closer.

My mother decided to go ahead and take an apartment there. She's moving in on the first. The apartments were a nice size. We definitely like the dining room and the food was good. In particular, my mother really liked the fact that at her meals they offer a smaller plate. That's something we haven't seen before. The people were nice and friendly. They people that stayed there seemed to be happy - we talked to quite a few of them. All that kind of appealed to my mother.

Independent living only. Residents very social. Nice facility with well appointed residences. Walking distance to shopping. Lots of activities available.

My mother loves living here! She went from being lonely to enjoying life again. The activities offered she participates in regularly. Myself and other family members join her for lunch and the meals are wonderful.

My Grandma loves it.

They're very professional, the care is very good. My father doesn't have any of the aid services, he's still on his own prety much but they do provide those and they seem very attentive and responsive. They have something going on all the time, they have singing, they have bingo, they have dancing, they have a social hour, they even have card games. They have day trips they sometimes go on, they sometimes go on a drive through the mansion and then once a month they go to Montecito or something like that. When you hear the cost and you hear, in my dad's case, they're paying 3000 a month, you think that's really expensive but it includes everything. He gets 3 meals a day, all the parties, all the cleaning, all the activities, all the utilities, it's all included. The only thing they pay for is the telephone and time warner but everything else is included so in the end he's probably saving money.

We're extremely happy, it's wonderful. The workers there are jsut so friendly and they'll do anything and everything, there's never been a time when I've gotten there and haven't been greeted or said hello to. They're constantly taking care of things all the time, the care is excellent, we picked up on Delphina's personal care and they're just excellent and mommas so happy and doing very well. Often times they have people coming in with music and such and the care givers always make sure that they take her to that; they constantly have things going on all the time. The food is great, they're very caring and if there's things they don't like they make sure they don't give it to them. They have several personal care groups there in Valencia and interviewed several, it was just so wonderful for us. When we went up there to see it it was like like "ah, this is perfect."

He was living at home and got a bladder infection, at the time I didn't realize how big of a deal those are for seniors but his primary care doctor didn't find it, they found it at Golden. When he got back from rehab they didn't have the nurses that he needed so we had to look for somewhere else. Golden was awesome though, it was the best facility I had walked in to out of the 8 or 9 I saw. It had a hotelish look of it, it didn't seem like it was just a board and care place, it was more townhomeish but they did charge you a lot more than the other ones I looked at.

I thought the managers were extremely professional and attentive. My sister liked it because it was right in the area she wanted to be. They made it very clear that she could feel like it was her home and they individualized their service for her. They do great at accomodating her needs and they're very friendly. She doesn't do too much of the activities but that's a personality thing, she may later on with things like trips to the mall.

It's worked very well, the people are very nice and the move in was smooth. We've been trying to understand who does what as far as who's associated with the different facilities. We needed some back up care as far as things with medications were concerned and I guess they have groups that work with them but aren't them so that was a little confusing but it's sorted out now. We like the location because its right on a side street and he can drive up to a shopping center and go out to eat without getting too far. I like the programs because the have enough activities and they encourage him to be active which is vital for his situation to keep his mind as sharp as possible for as long as possible. They do encourage him to go out, they stay and talk to him and tell him whats going on and encourage him to go. The price is good because things can be horrible expensive but being able to tailor things to his needs is nice and there are eyes on him so if they notice a change they can do something or tell us about it.

Genesee Gardens was the only place that, to me, was not a place I walked in to and looked around and thought "Oh my god people come here to die", they encourage longevity, they encourage involvment and activity. This is where I would want to go, everybody's personable, everybody's walking around smiling whether they know you or not and the residents are like that too. The managers, Melissa and Jason, are awesome, I just love them. Whenever we've had a problem they've addressed it right away. Kelly is really good with the residents and I've been there for meals and they're always playing games, musicians come in, they have outings, doctors visits, they go to the casino and they recently had a classic car show with tons of free food. Jason and Melissa do an awesome job.

Rancho Village is an absolutely wonderful community. They are not as fancy or classy as other communities, but they are very well run. The residents here seem to be really happy. They are a very good community that worries more about what they can provide and how they run the community over how fancy it is.

Primarily an independent living facility.

Great Tour and very informative.
