Savant Senior Living

My aunt is here and she is happy now and settling in. It is a very clean community and housekeeping will clean her apartment and do the laundry 1x a week.The staff is friendly and helpful. They engage her to join the daily activities. They have a movie room. There is a little center courtyard that is nice. The dining decor is nice and has the cloth tablecloths. The food is good just sometimes it isn't hot enough. The admissions and the director were great to work with. In her studio apartment she has a little fridge and microwave. I would recommend this community.

I love it here at Holiday Villa East. This is an independent living community, and I find it is like a hotel for seniors with meals included. The staff at Holiday Villas do an exceptionally good job, and they are all very nice. The food here is some of the best I've had in these kind of facilities, however, they do not serve food between mealtimes unless requested. I've met a lot of new people here, and I have one friend in particular that I meet with quite often for games of Rummy Cube and Mahjong. I'm very comfortable here, and I couldn't be more pleased.

I talked with [Removed], very helpful and pleasant. Need to schedule an appointment to look at the place. I hope it looks as good as it sounds? I took a tour and the place was clean. Just seemed a bit small, however, the rooms were large and spacious.

Overall, things have been pretty well. My dad and I toured here (before deciding to move him in) and at first glance, the tour did not go well. I think it was mainly because the girl that gave us the tour was a little bit inexperienced. I’ve had a few growing pains with them that we’re still trying to work through. They’re a little slow going to get things done maintenance wise, I have to tell them a couple of times to get things done, but overall the people are nice and the place is nice. The food seems to be pretty decent and the dining area resembles a restaurant, but the food tends to be a little on the soft side. They give you a menu and you have 4 choices for each meal to choose from, except breakfast – for breakfast, you just tell them what you want, even if it isn’t on the menu, and they’ll make it for you. And if you don’t like the options that you’re given, they’re more than willing to make you something else. The staff is easy to communicate with and very, very pleasant. When I take my dad out and bring him back, they always greet him like they’re excited that he’s back. It’s very sweet. They’ve always addressed him by his name and he doesn’t walk past anybody that doesn’t greet him. The medication room, I think, needs a bit of up training. There doesn’t seem to be good communication, things seem to be a bit outdated, and they definitely need to work on that because it feels like anytime something is new or changing, they can’t keep up. Whenever he pushes a button for help, they seem to respond pretty quickly. I timed it once and it took someone 4 minutes to get to him and he lives on the second floor. The cleanliness is great and the grounds itself are immaculate. They clean his room once a week on Thursdays and I’ve never gone into his room and had any complaints. There’s a general pricing for rent for the room and then small extra charges for things that might be needed like helping with medicine. Overall, I’m fairly pleased with it and I would recommend them with the caveat that the medication room really does need some help.

The staff take good care of mom. They are encouraging, attentive and they are open to making changes to keep her happy. They offer a lot of activities including a spelling bee. There are people from a church that come in on Wednesday and Sunday. The food is really good. The community is clean and they have a patio with a fountain. She has a nice room that feels like a small apartment with a full bath and a refrigerator. This community is a good value and I would recommend it.

This is a very nice community with lots of amenities for their residents. The staff did a great job with our tour and they answered all our questions. Unfortunately, they are not licensed for memory care. I would recommend taking a tour here though.

My dad is doing okay and he is enjoying the community very much. It is kept clean and well set up for the residents. I have had some very good meals with my dad and he likes the meals too.

This community was my second choice. Although they didn't have the open floor plan that I had seen at a previous community I really liked this place. The staff was friendly and nice. The appearance of the community was clean and well maintained and the residents seemed comfortable and well taken care of.

Brookdale Riverside is a beautiful and welcoming community. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We choose Brookdale Riverside because it was more affordable and their fees were more specific about what they actually charged for. The communication is great between the family and the staff. My father -in-law seems to be acclimating to the move. When he first arrived he really liked the food, now not so much. I think he is bored with the food. There are snacks and refreshments available for the residents between meals. They do offer activities, but my father-in-law is not the type who is inclined to participate in activities. They are in transition of getting a new activities director so maybe that will help to get him inspired to try out something new. Shopping trips are available for the residents, my father-in-law has utilized the bus to Dr. appointments and the bus driver is great. We feel very good about the choice that we made.

Very nice and great location. Seems like it could work. The little bigger ones would be better but only on 2nd floor. Main level with slider to patio nice. 2 sitting areas and dining room pleasant.

Very friendly staff. The location is currently under renovation. There are very few assisted living residents moved in so it was difficult to see the activities that they will be doing when it is in full operation. It looks like it will be a nice facility when it is finished in 2-4 weeks. It is a possible option for my Mom.

Friendly, clean, close to the Chinese community near by. Wonderful setting in the publicly shared areas. My concerns are 1. the higher pricing compare to other facilities I've visited and 2. the a la carte pricing on the extra services are also a little too high. I have no doubt they provide excellent services but it is a little over my current budget.

My mother and I toured Meridian of Riverside. It was a very nice place and the lady that took us around was friendly and welcoming. The facility itself was in good shape. It was a good experience to tour, but my mother found another place that fit her needs a little better.

I enjoyed having a tour at this community. I saw nothing wrong with the facility or the management. Based on it's location it was not in a good area for me.

My brother is doing good and he is happy living here. They have activities available like bingo but he prefers to other things. His room is cozy enough for him. The community is in a close location for me to visit and take him out. The staff are giving the care he needs and keep me up to date about my brother. I would recommend this place to those in need. I thought it looked nicer than most communities I was touring.

I almost canceled on Pacifica but I am glad I did not. They welcomed an opportunity for me to speak with their client (caregiver) who was honest and kind. He and his wife were together for 50 years (even though they seemed a lot younger) and it was a very difficult transition for both of them BUT once the transition happened, it was the best decision they made. He believes they take good care of his wife, he explained that for the first few weeks, it is best not to visit and included the hardship to him it caused. He recommended I attend coed as well as female support groups because he found them very helpful and most importantly he gave testament to the service Pacifica brought to his loved one. The 60,000 per year is within my price range thus making this an option. I need to do a bit more research (e.g. eventual hospice needs, power of...), as well as speaking with [Removed] doctors to ensure we are all on the same path.

When we toured the Brookdale Alhambra, we liked the appearance of the place. It was clean and maintained well. [Removed] was very nice and gave us a lot of information, but the place was out of our price range.

A nice facility... not much area for parking though

We are not happy with the Brookdale. They made a lot of promises before move in that now they say because of budget cuts with the new owners, they can not do. The rain from the storms has been getting into the resident's apartments and all they do is give the towels! The billing has also been all problems and it is impossible to get through to the corporate office. Before move in, we had to clean the apartment it was not ready for us.

Very nice facility. Much larger resident rooms than Brookdale Glendale although a little more expensive. [Removed] was very helpful.
