Northstar Senior Living

From my experience, overall I would rate Sakura Gardens a 5 stars. The experience was short - but everyone was very courteous there. The community itself is very clean and everything is easily accessible - it is like their own little condensed world. Based on the experience we have had so far we would absolutely recommend Sakura Gardens to other families.

We have found Ocean Hills to be a wonderful facility, caring, and trustworthy. Out of the 5 assisted living facilities I visited, Ocean Hills was by far the best for your money.

I had a couple days to fly in from out of state to find a place for my Dad and move him in when he was released from rehab. I visited 5 locations and found Vineyard Ranch worked for us. The staff was friendly ([name removed] and [name removed] were my main contacts and they were fabulous), knowledgeable and went out of their way to meet my strict timeline. My Dad said they are treating him great, the food is good and he is happy to be at the Vineyard Ranch.

We picked this community, because it is all inclusive and encourages participation in all aspects. It's a clean community, although at times short staffed but that is common everywhere you go and try and get a long term contract at a set price. We did not know that Pacifica was being bought out by NorthStar properties .

My mother was welcomed with open arms and the staff was so friendly. Staff assisted in making the transition go smoothly. So far we are well pleased.

This was a nice community during the tour. The cost was more than another community that we ended up going with.

I LOVED The Gardens of Sun City - it was awesome. The staff were excellent. They were so helpful and helped me get all of my mothers medical records and things that we would need for this process. They gave us a wonderful tour and the price was actually better than the facility we went with. They had quality services provided. The only reason we did not choose this facility was because my mother wanted to be closer to where she lived.

My mama moved to their assisted living a few years ago and when she needed memory care they made the transition as easy as it could be. My mind is at ease with the staff there looking after her. Everyone is very helpful there

I would tell others this seems to be a nice community during our tour. My loved ones have decided to go here, and the can be delays with the community being at capacity most of the time. The food was good when we toured the community.

Of course, they could always use more staff- It did seem like they were under staffed and over worked- But that seems to be a very common problem. Doors for the residents were always locked. And I am not sure that is good. Also when we got there. It took a very long time to get a key to the room. Our favorite really was the activities. Very enjoyable and engaging for all the residents .

For us 5 definitely but if someone wants a larger property. However, all amenities are great. They take him to Doctors , etc. ?? Me and my daughter love The Gardens of Sun City. It's small, quaint, the people are amazing and everyone knows his name and mine. He loves the nurse care- even though he didn't need all the time and loves the food! We are very happy with the fun activities and the performers they bring in. Every holiday is celebrated and fun for these special folks. I do not have any complaints with Michelle Stevenson, executive director or anything about the Gardens of Sun City!

Our family had an in person tour and we thought it was an excellent tour everything was very nice but ultimately it came down to location and it was just to far away

What we really like about The Gardens of Sun City is it is not a large property, giving more immediate attention to the residents. It's also nice that this community is built in a way that it's residents have to pass by the front desk to leave , reducing the risk of residents of just walking out .

Our family had an in person tour and we loved this community we thought the tour experience was great. It was a very strong contender and they had a pool for independent living but for those on assisted living they would only be able to use the pool for certain classes and not all the time.

All of the staff have just been real pros at their job. The nurse is extremely knowledgeable and clearly loves the work she does. All the staff are so capable and knowledgeable in their responsibilities and we love knowing mom is getting well cared for.

I am more than happy to promote Ocean Hills Senior Living and, in particular, the outstanding work of its employees and administration. Senior communities are invaluable in providing critical care for our elders. Like the care that [removed] offered for my parents when they were residing there.

The personal are very friendly and carrying! We like the warm atmosphere and all the neat decorations. We are especially fond of [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed]at the front desk! They’re always so courteous and helpful!! We are certainly going to miss [name removed]. He was such a great guy and a needed person at Cypress!..He made it feel like a real home in The thirteen years my mom has been there we feel he was the best director!! He actually cared for the residents and they felt that. We only hope the new director will be a plus too!

We made appt. to tour, received good info, met a couple residents heard their stories, information on ALF price for resident stay.

My mom was in memory care in Florida, with no family within 1,000 miles so I wanted her to be closer to family so that I could visit her and ensure she was taken care of. I looked at several homes, but settled on Summerfield based upon the layout, size, and activities. There are 3 outdoor areas where the residents can come and go as they please. The staff has been amazing and most importantly my mom has connected with 3 other higher functioning women and they walk around and talk, which is really important since my mom is still social, even though she can’t recall what happened or what was said 2 minutes prior. Summerfield is also very active with activities and they truly care for the residents, even the ones who can’t do much on their own. They move them out of their rooms and have them at all of the activities even for the residents who aren’t noticeably engaged. I feel very fortunate to have found Summerfield. And the cost is reasonable compared to other options in the area.

All of the staff here at Pacifica Senior Living are a rare type of special to put up with all the different personalities in this community :) They staff here are very patient, kind and always smiling! One server knows me so well I don't even have to order my meal, she always knows exactly what I want! The difference between living at home along and living at Pacifica is I feel secure and stress free knowing that help is available whenever I need any type of assistance. It gives me and my family a peace of mind and security to know that help is near by.
