Northstar Senior Living

My Mother was a resident for 2 yrs at Kirkland assisted living, which is now called Sundial. My Mom chose to leave her home. She needed more care and wanted to be in a assisted living facility. It was a difficult transition for her. With the friendly staff she was very welcomed. She felt very safe there and got excellent care. I would spend one full day a week with her. Not only did I see how the care givers were with her, but I noticed how they interacted with the other residents. The car givers always called people by there first name. Which is a feat in itself with 40 plus residents. The food was excellent, as well as the staff. The wellness center was always there to answer questions I may have had about my Mom's health. They were very helpful and informative. I never felt they were rushing me. They seemed very concerned about all the residents. I would recommend anyone with a loved one to check out Sundial. I am now a volunteer at Sundial. I enjoyed everyone so much I couldn't stay away.

Great place nothing we visited was like this, real Palm Springs feel the place was updated so nice, warm staff.

My husband stayed 3 weeks for respite. Staff are so friendly, everything is very clean and meals are very good. An excellent place for a loved one!

Our loved one hasn't been here long yet, but so far we're pleased with the community. It's a nice looking place, and the staff all seem to be friendly, caring, and professional.

My dad has been at Emeritus for just a short time, but we have both been very impressed by the friendliness and the welcoming atmosphere. He is still settling in, and has had some unaccustomed mobility problems, but the staff have been great about checking on him and following up with medical professionals. His only complaint would probably be a slowness of service in the dining room.

Dad needed a locked facility and 24 hour care. He had escaped his home several times in the middle of the night prompting our decision to find a memory care facility for him. At Somerford, he has not felt the need to "escape" once since he's been there. At Somerford, he feels "safe and relaxed"....his very own words. The "circular" layout of the halls, the pleasantly decorated rooms and the beautiful gardens give the facility a very open feeling. The staff is also very friendly and kind. They know how to motivate without being "pushy." Everyone, including the maintenance and administrative staff, keeps an eye on the residents throughout the day, gently redirecting as necessary. I also like having nurses on staff 24/7. Just remember that if your loved one needs medical attention in the ER or urgent care, you will need to accompany them. No one will accompany them from the facility. Unfortunately, I was in the ER a lot.

Staff is excellent. Very clean and friendly. A secure environment for those with dementia who have a tendency to wander.

I was very impressed with the staff and overall feel of the community. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for Senior Living for their loved one.

My 93 year old mother seems very happy and contented at Woodmont. She enjoys the food and friendly caring people at the facility. Her room is large enough for a double bed, dresser, highboy, bistro table, and two chairs and a recliner. She has a walk in closet and nice sized bathroom. Her words "This is a nice place, the people are friendly, and the food is good". I would recommend anyone looking for assisted or senior living take a look.

We chose Pacifica Senior Living Modesto because we had a good experience with one of Pacifica's assisted living facilities. They are very personable, made us feel welcome, and encouraged us to speak with current residents. Pacifica was also really helpful in explaining all the different medical options and answering all of our questions.

The staff are friendly. The studios we saw were ok. Some are brighter depending which direction it faces. It is noisier and darker if your room faces Bush street. The hallway is a little dark. The rooms are good size and clean with AC unit. I feel the menu has too much carbs and not suitable for people with diabetes. Unfortunately it seems the case in many assisted living places. I hope the food is at least low sodium but we didn't try to food.

We toured Kokoro Assisted Living and will be moving our mom there. The studio apartment is ok size with functional bathroom. Hallway is on the dark side but the room has good lighting. Menu is more carbs than we would like for mom. There are not as many choices to pick from either. I am finding many assisted living do not have low carb, low sodium or with food for diabetes unfortunately. I can't really say too much until mom moves in and lives there. I understand there is no perfect place...and even if we can afford to keep mom at home. I only wish the staff and mom would work out a routine that works for everyone.

It is a nice safe place for my mom. I would recommend to others! Staff is very nice

The staff were welcoming. My friend is happy there right now. I would recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one.

The people are wonderful, and the facility is very nice. I would highly recommend. I don't really have issues with them but [name removed] has a difficult dementia, and it's been difficult getting the right meds and such for his care.

The corner studio we selected for my mother is perfect. The former memory care area has been turned into additional rooms with added kitchenette. There has been no complaints regarding the food. Something is always available from 7:30 am until 6:00 pm, except during shift changes. If you do not like the special of the day, you can always order off their standard menu. The staff is very accommodating when it comes to ordering food. The staff in general has been very helpful and already seems to know my mother's routines after a few short weeks. Activities are plentiful, however, I think there needs to be a better orientation to the residents to what is available to them.

Cypress Court recently got new owners and the quality of meals has noticeably declined. It was pretty good previously. Cleanliness appears to have improved.

I am still in the process of evaluating, but so far the staff are active and engaging with residents .

I toured Summerfield, looking for a memory care facility for a relative. It came highly recommended, and I was not disappointed. The facility was clean and the staff introduced themselves throughout the entire tour. I did find the layout a bit confusing and somewhat outdated. Summerfield would’ve been a strong contender were it not such a distance from my home.

The Garden of Sun city was a clean and friendly establishment. The only problem I had was the night nurse broke my mom's nebulizer bowl for her breathing. It was never replaced. My mom enjoyed her 14-day Respite Care! The activities were very nice!! My mom especially enjoyed Bingo and the live music!
