Great care but very expensive. I think the price was very high. The food is fair, good, but not as varied. There was bingo, Pictionary – it’s geared very much for an older crowd and some excursions. There is limited parking. The staff was quick to respond.

This is such a great place! We are so happy that my mother in law is here! The only reason the "Care Services" didn't get a 5 is because we really haven't used them yet. As for activities, there are so many things to do! We mainly picked this place because it's smaller than the others in the area. There's about 135 residents, compared to the 200+ at others. Also, it's a newer community, so it's always just immaculate! Whenever you walk in, everyone is so attentive to your needs! They remember who you are and call you by your first name! Such a wonderful place!

This is a great place, we're very happy with it! They really do an excellent job keeping the facility clean, and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. The care has been showing improvement, and they appear to have plenty of activities going on.

My loved one really seemed to enjoy his stay here. The staff were all very very friendly, and they kept the building looking nice and clean. I also heard from him that the food was very good! I can't really think of any specific way that they could improve, they're very good overall!

Nice areas for grouping of the persons living there. I did not care for the bedrooms as much. Only a double was available at this time. They had a cat and 2 dogs there. There was a little order of that and we have people allergic in our family.

We toured this location when we were looking into options for my loved one. Sierra Pointe looked like a very nice place, the staff were friendly and helpful. However this community was priced a bit higher than what we were looking for, and wasn't something we considered an option.

They really do a good job keeping the community neat. The nurses are wonderful The P.A. has sometimes been slow on the follow-up, and doesn't always show up when he says he will. They have a lot of activities but they seem a little more geared towards women. The food is pretty good but depends on the day, at least for him. What's nice about the menu is if you don't like the daily special you can always get something different, I would give the food a four. The overall experience has been good. They have a lot of opportunity for social activity, at least twice a week they have gatherings in the receiving area. You can participate as much or as little as you want.

The surroundings are very nice. I visited both AL and IL. I met the LPNs in AL. I appreciated that they invited me to talk while they were eating their lunches. I was introduced to the site administrator and was invited for lunch. I did not get to finish my questions but will call later. There were two minor problems that needed my guide, the house manager, attention. 1) I'm not getting my cough medicine. I miss you; things get done when you are here. 2) Mrs. X is missing. She's not here and I called there and she's not there either.

Referred by Sarah Sunrise 4th visit. Nice , 77 in independent living, separate buildings Nancy OK

They are doing just fine, they came within my budget, they aren't real high end, or real low end. What they offered for the high end of my budget was less than what Atria Sutton offered, so I had to go with them. I find they have done a real nice job.

Clientele is all Salinas area. Requires a $500 deposit. Distance from everywhere.

A little expensive. Co-mingles assisted living and memory care for events sometimes. Requires $2500 deosit. Currently we'd be at top of list

My brother has settled in and is doing well here. He told me just yesterday, "I like it here." The people here seem to really care about their residents and are most helpful with all their needs.

May be too big. Dad prefers smaller complex.

I met with Laura and explained my situation. She was most kind and listened but was unable to work within out budget.

I had a quick visit of memory care. Clean and looks like a great social / activity program. The location is near-perfect for our family, but the cost may put it out of our reach.

They're willing to take questions and there's always activities going on. What we liked about Emeritus from the very beginning is my mother-in-law is from Connecticut and Emeritus has sister communities all over so someone from Emeritus in Connecticut was able to evaluate her there. Right off the airplane we were able to go and settle her in with out having that transition of going from my house to Emeritus and having to explain why she can't live with us. It was just much easier for all of us. So far we really like them. They're small enough that she doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Their cottages are smaller. It's not one huge big thing so they kind of get individual care in that sense. Anytime we have a question I am comfortable with asking them. They're very open. She has a bedroom there. There is no kitchenette so she has to get out and socialize. She can't lock herself up in her room.

The memory care is very good. I really must say everything is very good. They have been helpful. We have been family members that have been difficult and were not happy with certain things and have taken my mother-in-law out for her birthday. They took her out overnight which was not good because she really just wanted to go home after that. They arranged a meeting among family members and explained why it was not good for her to be out over night at this point. There were very helpful in that I would say. Overall they try extremely hard to please everyone and they take good care of my mother-in-law.

To date our loved one appears to be quite content in their new home; it is a good fit. Staff is pleasant and courteous.

For both: The Grandview was smaller and more intimate than the Gardens in SM. Crystal gave us the tour, and she was wonderful! Kind, caring, and knowledgeable. The place seemed clean and the residents seemed well cared for. The one bedroom apartment seemed a little small-ish, but the resident had a lot of furniture. The two-bedroom was lovely and spacious.
