Savant Senior Living

They have done a pretty good job. We have used them for a respite stay a few times now. The thing is that the last time I brought him home, he hadn't had a shower, if he says no then, they can't do it. I don't know if that would be different if he was a resident, but I didn't realize that. The staff there is awesome to him. They do a lot of celebration stuff, they are very excited for Halloween, and they have lots of plans. They do seem to be very focused on the residents there. They will do a week stay not just a two week minimum, which is hard to find, and the price is fair. It's pretty clean. However every time we go in, the T.V. isn't hooked up, and they knew he was coming. But they do call for someone right away, but it's very important to my loved one, and I communicated that to them. I have recommended it, and would recommend it again.

This facility was organized with a friendly staff and the patients there seem happy and content. The rooms appeared to be clean and modern but the hallway carpet could use a replacement. The general manager Nestor was patient and informative, seemingly a caring man. I would consider this home but must check out others also.

She is happy. It's kept clean, and the staff is pretty friendly. They are pretty attentive and responsive. There really isn't anything I think needs to be improved or done better. She is happy and that is the most important thing.

The Commons at Woodland Hills is a great community overall and I highly recommend it for seniors who need some or a lot of assistance. The only issue we had was regarding medication administration. In the Common's contract there is one page regarding this stating that seniors who administer their own medications cannot use weekly planners (i.e. Sun-Sat pill boxes) but must dole out their medications each day. This is false and misleading. A senior has every right to use a weekly planner for their medication if that is what they are used to.

Stacie's amazing. Unfortunately, the price she quoted me for the apartment that would suit my parents best is still out of their price range. I may still try to get them to visit tomorrow and see if we can work out a deal.

As in all places, some caregivers are better than others. a few policies have recently changed relating to feeding times. The food is almost all pre-prepared and then reheated. "Home cooked" would be an improvement. The medical staff is excellent.

The only problem was that they had started to raise the prices beyond what I could afford. The people and staff where very nice. The food was very good, but the reason I left was the price. They’re real nice though.

The staff goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful, all while maintaining professionalism. The caring for the clients goes beyond just doing their job - they truly care. They are prompt and attentive and treat their clients like adults - with respect and dignity. They greet each client by name every time they pass in the hall, ask how they can be of help yet give people their privacy. From the director who leads with grace and care, to the nurse and med staff who listen and gently tend to their patients, to the dining staff who prepare and serve each delicious meal, to the housekeeping & maintenance staff who treat the facility like its their own home and the clients like family - the quality of care shows.

Lovely property. The staff was extremely friendly but it appears that only certain people are granted full access to be able to answer the appropriate questions relating to pricing and placement - this can be a bit of an inconvenience. My mother and I had the pleasure to visit and also had lunch. was adequate. the kindness of the staff makes this place exceptional, but the lack of knowledge and returned calls from lower staff members was disappointing. Stacie is beyond awesome! Overall, excellent service and nice property!

So far everything has been great. She seems to be happy. So far I've been pretty impressed with it. When it comes to the care services, I'm not there, I can't really comment on those. I think the activities are lacking a little bit, she goes down but doesn't participate much. There doesn't seem to be many outings as when we first saw it, that could be because of the time of year. She feels very safe there. Part of why we chose this was the affordability and it had all the criteria I was looking for, for her. It seemed to meet all of her needs.

nice. no security around grounds. $1595/studio 3rd flr.

Could work for us. I like that you can transfer to another Emeritus without a new community fee.

I know they're starting a renovation soon. The furnishings and décor are a little outdated but the are fixing that in the renovation. The rooms are a nice size and the food is excellent. They have tai chi classes, exercise, current events, they bring in, for the holidays, different religious leaders to lead services. My dad is very happy there.

Good overall vibe - very clean and tidy - jewish community - will mom be ok there? $3500 with bathing and meds - $1500 deposit could be $3000 if bathing and meds not needed

If they had a spokesperson or a go between between the RNs/LVNs and us because he was so far along, further along than we realized, and it wasn't like he was abled bodied so to speak, so it would have been betterr to have someone there to help. Maybe we could have paid for more care to get there, we were there such a short time we couldn't really develop that relationship. The care was good, we just didn't have enough time. The only thing that was a hint of [removed] if you're new to places you're just kind of lost, they don't have a greeter or somebody to teach you how it's all going to go down. They have somebody that sits down with you at first but he's more of the financial guy. I know more about senior communities than I ever wanted to know.

Overall it's been a very positive experience. I think the people that work there are just terrific and really care about the residents. They're actually in the process of renovating so it's kind of hectic but I saw some of what they're doing and it's going to be even nicer than it is. This is our first experience with assited living or independent living. My mother complains that the meal time is too short and too early but otherwise, her room is really very nice and the facility is nice. The staff is incredibly helpful so overall it's been very positive. Part of why we chose this is the location is very close to the UCLA medical facilities so my mom can walk to a lot of her doctors and in terms of what you can get in Santa Monica it's a tremendous value, very affordable.

Nice staff, helpful, new director is personable, well-run facility with good communication between staff and resident's family. Food is boring and repetitive.

Absolutely Wonderful! I think that they're trying hard to satisfy their guests and it's just a very positive place to be. There is an activities director that lead exercises and games and they do outings. My mom is in a wheelchair so she doesn't get on the bus much but they also provide the bus to take them to the doctor or whatever. They have religious people come in and do services or read the bible which my mom appreciates. My mom likes it pretty well. She's much happier than the last place and she's more communicative.

They're pretty good and everybody is very nice. I think it's worth the cost; can you really put a cost on taking care of your mom? They've got 36 people doing what I've been doing for the past two years by myself so I think it's worth it. My mom doesn't do what they ask her to do so it's not that they don't offer things. They do a good job of taking care of her physical needs. I can say that they offer activities but my mom hasn't participated yet because she's busy being mad about being there. They have stuff for her to do from after breakfast all the way to dinner. I saw the calender and they have bingo, knitting, crafts, exercise classes - a reasonable amount of stuff for her to do.

This would have been a great place for them......but again, they are not licensed correctly to take my parent's long term care policy....
