Savant Senior Living

My Mom needs memory care and had to be placed with the secure group as she just wants to go home and she can't. The only negative I have is that because we rushed getting Mom moved in, there were details that got ignored and I am still trying to get all the "Ts" crossed! This is as much my fault as theirs. Otherwise, this place is wonderful! The employees are kind and helpful and the residents are happy! The building is clean, smells great and is cheerful! After touring several, there was no question which residence was best!

Eli Goldman is up front with no surprises. His caregivers are nice people. I and my mom are happy with this place.

They come by my room every week and clean my room whether I need it or not. This was the best value that I can find. They are really helpful here. They have a lot of neat stuff to do. Most of the time I enjoy the food, if I don't like something they will give me alternatives. If you don't get to the meals on time, you can miss out on stuff, that was the one thing that was hard to get used to. I am really happy with it, and I tell everyone they should be here.

We are very happy with them. We really like the staff. From the minute we walked in everyone says hi and wants to know how they can help. They work really hard, and they are always happy to do their job. We are thrilled with the quality of care. Our loved one is not typically one to join in on activities, and here he is, so they are good at engaging him. The food is good as well.

Beautiful community, newly renovated. On a quiet residential street but only minutes from the 55 freeway. The Executive Director has a lot of tenure in the industry and her knowledge of caring for the elderly comes across in speaking to her. Very impressive, she knows her stuff. They only do memory care there, which made me more confident that they are truly focused on providing care to those with Alzheimer's and other memory impairment. Their activities calendar was chock-full of events, and they split certain items up to cater to higher- or lower- functioning residents. I noted that they had Disneyland's birthday marked on the calendar - I loved that! The cost seemed extremely affordable - $3900-$4100 all-inclusive, the only add-on being $450 monthly for incontinence (and they buy all the supplies). They also offer hospice (I think it was a 3-day minimum stay) at $225/day. They have private and semi-private rooms and when you move in, you can choose a different color to paint your room if you want, which I thought was a really considerate way to help new residents feel more at home. The marketing director took us on a tour. She was really nice, very positive, and got along well with the residents. She had started the library there and the corresponding book club, which is the sort of thing I hope to have available when I eventually reach this stage in life. The residents seemed happy and engaged, and more than one approached us to tell us how much they enjoyed it there, which was really nice to hear.

I think it’s a good. There is tons of parking. There are nice outside areas for families and residents to use. It’s a very clean community and we’ve been very happy with the friendliness of the staff. The cost of the community compared to the value received is good. They have lots of activities for residents to enjoy.

I’d have to give them a five. The community is clean and the staff has always been friendly enough. They offer enough activities. The care services are enough to meet our needs. It’s a decent value for the money.

No complaints from mom or me. So far, after 2 weeks, she is comfortable and content, and I know the staff has something to do with that adjustment period as well. She says the food is good, the activities seem to interest her a little and her apartment is warm and inviting.

So far what I have seen has been most impressive. Mom is not moved in yet (May 1) so these may change but for now, everything is warm and welcoming.

I've really been impressed with the service here, they do everything well! The facility itself is clean and well kept, the staff are all very friendly and professional, and the services they provide to the residents are great. I would recommend it as a place to look into!

Dear Vicky, I realize that I have the pleasure of being able to speak to you at anytime in your office, but I felt that I need to express many thanks to you in writing for the care and attention that you and your staff, mainly Ms. Christina Harris, LVN, have extended for my wife. As you are aware that I came to Meridian from another Assisted Living Facility, because the condition there were not what I expected in Assisted Living, and the clinical care was not adequate if I needed. Meridian has made me feel secure here vs where we were. My wife has progressed with her memory problem, but you took special care until she is placed in a memory care facility. The care that you provide was the first real battle of the condition with my wife. This prompted me to thank both of you and "Care Givers" for this attention. It should be noted that Ms. Harris stayed most of the night personally caring for my wive, also having your comforting assistance during the evening sun downing which included caring for me. Please thank all of the "care givers" for us as they all go beyond "just doing a job".

This was a beautiful facility, I could see that the patients were well taken care of. Even though they did not have a vacancy at the time of our tour, Murielle was extremely helpful and spent almost an hour with us. The facility far exceeded my expectations of a memory facility.

We haven't had any problems, whenever we address an issue they handle it right away. When you walk by they say hi and ask if anyone needs help. They were at first overcharging but they re-evaluated her care needs and pro-rated her stay. They have little trips on thursdays, games and, exercise programs. I would give the food a four. They could do a little better at keeping the food hot through all the services of meals. They make sure everyone is out at their meals and do a good job getting people to participate. This community was close to us and the price wasn't bad and when we went in there there were people out moving around on the porch and the patio.

Things are wonderful, theyre doing great, this is her 5th month there and she loves it. She's pretty much to herself because she has early dementia so I think she's afraid she's going to forget but she gets out and does things; for the most part she enjoys it there and she's making friends. The communication with the staff is fine, everything seems to be pretty good right now. She hasn't had any complaints, we haven't had any complaints. They take really good care of her, her whole demeanor is happier and whenever we pick her up she asks when she can go back home. She has peace and quiet there. Before, she was living with my sister and that was too much for her so this is good for her. We liked that they took care of them and did everything for them.

Super clean, super professional, grounds are green, maintained well. very nice floor plans of total layout of the property.

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable staff; Stacie was a delight; She shared a lot of time with me answering questions. Facility clean, spacious, open; a good variety of activities to choose from; Facility close to community shopping. Could benefit from shade trees, to cool the walks around the building down; but today was extremely hot in Riverside!

Holiday Villa East is pretty diverse in term of ages. There are people from 65 and up. Some of the residents here are very active and that is what we were looking for. Our loved one is very active and we wanted a place where he would be able to makes friends and stay active. The staff here is extremely friendly and extremely accommodating. We are very pleased with them and would recommend them to anyone.

(Activities Not Rated) The condition of community really made it one of the top communities on our list. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. They really tried to help whenever they could. It was a good community.

It was recommended by A Place for Mom and when we went to visit the community we just liked it. The community was very nice and it just seemed like it was the right fit for our situation. We are pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone.

I picked Garden of Palms becuase everyone has worked there for a really long time. There is no one inexperienced there. The person that has worked there the least amount of time has been there for 5 years - that's the chef. They know what they're doing and really care. I don't know a lot about the activities because my mom doesn't really participate, but it seems like they have a lot to offer.
