This is a great place for anyone to live if they have assisted living needs. My sister has been there a short perion of time but she seems to like it. It is nice,clean, friendly, respectfull , give them 4 1/2 stars.

Hawaii Kai Retirement is clean and nice. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. My problem is my parents are in Assisted Living. My mother is capable of independent living but my father needs a little care with medicine and catheter. They lost all their independence moving from the house they lived in for 59 years. They have no family close by to help them. they are frustrated by having to schedule appointments on certain days at certain times. No one has taken them by the hand to show them how to take the transportation to the grocery store. The staff in assisted living is used to people who do not leave and my mother wants to leave. They end up taking taxis. I will be taking another trip out there to help them overcome some of these obstacles.

I would recommend this assisted living facility.

They have a lot of really good activities at Sunrise of West Hills. The setting is very nice and the facility is very clean and well kept. It has been a challenge finding the right fit for my fathers needs, but the place itself is very nice.

Honestly out of all the places I toured I liked this one the best the only problem was it was too expensive for my mother. Everyone approched me during my tour. They knew me by first name, I was shocked. The facility did not have an odor and the patients looked very clean. I met with the Executive Director and the Head Nurse. They were informative, they even referred me to other places that were more in line with my budget. If they can not help you they will try to give you resources. I was impressed by the professionalism.

Montecito is great. The residents are awesome. The staff are caring and helpful. The food is sufficient. Lots of choices with a five week revolution to choose from. I'm happy & feeling grateful to live at Montecito.

The staff is nice and considerate to all the people. If you ever need anything your concerned about they are their. The make your loved one feel at home. They have a few activities. My loved one is very happy.

They are doing a good job. There are some things that aren't quite what I hoped. They aren't as well staffed as I had expected or hoped. They got hit with the flu and they are just starting to come out it. But there were new people all the time, and that was frustrating, they didn't know where the notes were. They were going through transition with a new manager, but they are working on it. I like the staff they are caring and well intentioned. In general I think they are very nice and caring people. The cleaning and the laundry has had some issues. They keep the general facilities clean, but there have been a few issues with the private areas. The food is really good, and I like them, we have just had a little bit of a rocky start through this transition.

It's very clean, and the staff is friendly. They are not really up on the issues of service animals, and what all the rules are. It can take a long time for someone to respond to a call button. It's taking a long time to get things done, there are some miscommunications from time to time. She is starting to get involved in things, but we are waiting still for her motorized wheelchair so that she can get around without help. They could be a little more organized, and systematic. The food is very good, and the waitstaff is very good.

This was very nice and very expensive. The base rate was a couple of thousand more than the place I chose. The rooms are smaller here too. The parking wasn't very good, you either had to find metered parking on the street or pay $12 at the lot next door .

They seemed to be very expensive, for the same care I can get elsewhere. This was about $3000 more a month. The other place even has a better ratio caregiver to resident. They were the second most expensive we saw. Even just the facilities themselves were nicer at the less expensive place.

Though The Watermark was fairly small, the staff and residents are very nice and the food is good. It reminded me of a boutique hotel, and was more cozy in its size than cramped. I do wish that there was more to do around the area though; there isn't much opportunity to shop nearby. That may not be important to you though; I would suggest visiting and seeing for yourself if it, and the surrounding areas, are a good fit for you.

My Dad has been at Sunrise on the Memory Care floor almost two months now. Obviously, a difficult decision to move him there as we had 24/7 caregivers for him at home. We felt he would receive good care and better stimulation at Sunrise. The staff is very, very friendly and I am very pleased with the level of stimulation he receives there, including going on outings up to two times per week. We still have a private caregiver with Dad from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. We have noticed that when the private caregiver is not there, Dad is not receiving the kind of care and attention we were hoping for. We understand his needs cannot be met exactly at the moment he needs them met, however, there have been mornings that he has soaked the bed. My concern is that he isn't checked on often enough during the night. They only have two full time staff for the overnight hours. I appreciate how difficult it is to manage a population of patients suffering from various forms of dementia and given that understanding, I feel Sunrise is doing a very good job.

We love the care and attention provided for our Mom. There is always several activities offered, and the staff is not only attentive to the reresidence, but they know who the family members are, and are always there for an accurate status update.

Overall Atria Bayside Landing is good place for senior's to have a small community that they could enjoy. It's been over month since my dad went there to live. His social skills have change a lot, very out going, made more friends and he likes living there. Everyone is very attentive to each resident that lives there, making sure they are well taken care of during day or night.

My sister's recent move necessitated relocating my ninety five year old mother from northern California to southern California. Prior to the relocation twenty-six facilities were reviewed and toured to find the most appropriate match of services provided to my mother's specific care requirements. Yes, at her age declining mental and physical capabilities were both important factors in choosing this facility. The unique aspect of Sunrise at Fullerton, that distinguished it from the other twenty-five facilities, is its Terrace Club community. This community provides an intermediate level of care between assisted living and locked down memory care units. For individuals with memory issues, but, not at a safety level of concern (i.e. wandering or other anti social behavioral issues); Terrace Club provides the necessary structured environment for mental stimulation and social interaction. The greater care giver to resident ratio also diminishes anxiety over the physical safety of your loved one. Is it perfect? No. As can be expected minor issues always arise that require resolution. The staff, however, is friendly, attentive and willing to make that extra effort to resolve any issues that pop up. I am satisfied that the correct decision was made in moving mom to Sunrise.

They have it set up like little cottages. It's not one big huge institutional place. They all have wrap around porches and rocking chairs. It has a very country feel to it which my grandmother liked but she really like the food at another place. She used to be an institutional chef so she's really picky about the food.

This was the only other place in Salinas that I would consider. It's not so much what I liked about but what I didn't like about it. Villa Serra is really big. My mom has had a stroke so sometimes talking is difficult and I was worried that with that many people she might not want to be out amongst them so much, even though she is very social. My first impression wasn't great because you open the doors and you walk in and there are 15 people in wheelchairs all crowded around the front door. The carpet was kind of funky and the hallway was really dark. I brought this up with the woman who was giving me a tour and she said they were just starting to do some remodeling with painting and new carpet. I haven't been back so I'm not sure how that turned out.

My aunt has been there for 6 weeks and we got off to a little bit of a rocky start. They've had almost a complete personnel turnover and so they are, in my opinion, having a little bit of trouble getting organized. The facility it's self is lovely and everybody seem to be very nice and caring. I would say, right now, they're in transition and so are we so I'm a little uncertain about how things are done. I think part of it is that I need to learn their system better and part of it may be that they're still trying to discern who is in charge and who does what. My aunt has a need for insulin injection everyday and it's very difficult to find a place that can do that - Sunrise can. Everyone seems very well intended, I'm just not certain they have their new staff up and running. They're always very willing to listen to you or come to your aid. I need to learn their system a little bit better and I think they are still learning also. The attitude of the people is very caring so I'm hoping we can get the other little things ironed out.

They did not have any openings first of all. It was okay but it just wasn't as nice as another place I was looking at. It was clean but not as new. Otherwise it was a very nice community. I just didn't like that is was not as new.
