Savant Senior Living

While the staff is very friendly overall, there really isn't much 'assistance' here unless you hire caregivers to attend to your loved one's needs. If your senior relative needs help in the shower, that will be an extra charge. Medications to be given - that will incur a charge. The facility needs a walk-in soaking tub that residents can make a reservation for and have assistance. Sometimes a person's joints hurt and a good hot bath would help. There is a 'shower' room on the second floor that could be converted to a bath room - that would be a needed amenity. If a senior has a private caregiver to help them, they cannot partake of the outings unless there is room for the caregiver, so that is a bummer. Sometimes dinner portions could be larger also - especially of favorites like mashed potatoes. I don't recall if there was a pizza night, but that might be a good idea to liven up things. A good value in a great locale, but anything you might think is included is not, and the little extras will add up. Parking can also be a problem if you come during popular visiting hours, as the garage is rented out to another business and there is limited guest parking. The street parking in Santa Monica is worse, so you are lucky if you can get parking downstairs and probably shouldn't complain. The carpet needs to be cleaned better, as one area looks like it has yellow, indebted vomit. When the carpet is cleaned, it seems to only be with water.

There are some things about Lakewood Park Manor that have been good, but definitely some room for improvement as well. The place is clean and well kept, and it is a nice value. However, we have requested several times for my father to be moved into a different unit that would be better suited for him and they have not been very accommodating of the request. Also, I think they should be more friendly in greeting the family members of the residents when they come to visit. A few things like that could certainly improve.

very nice, large facility They gave me different rates depending on the level and final nurse check. see paper work in folder. Both Stephanie and Stacie have been very informative. My hesitation is travel and its large facility. Price if she is at level 1 $2075, if level 2 $2325. some discounts may applly

It is quite old and a bit dingy. People seem happy there and there is a mixture of levels of capacity. Lots of activities as well. Sam was very wonderful and helpful.

Good, but a bit of a drive.

the place might be nice after the construction, but couldn't really get a feel for the staff and the community.

Busy area in SM - ok place with reasonable rates $2600 - a bit outdated but ok

I think we could get more for the cost. The care is not as good as the previous place and they overstated their activities. They said they have sculpting but they don't. They just have play-dough.

Very close to my home and could provide transportation to my follow-up appt at Kaiser Fontana. The facility itself needs better maintenance and cleaning overall.Cobweb's on the ceiling in the main lobby, stained carpets in some hallways, the elevator looks like it never gets cleaned or vacuumed and there is a lingering odor throughout the facility. I went by on another day to get paperwork and was taken care of by a pleasant young gentleman named Michael. I think he is one of the managers. He made me feel very welcome and assured me that they could do whatever I needed to make my stay comfortable and invited me come back for a second tour to see rooms other than the original one I was shown which was at the far end of a hallway across from a room that had the door open and had the worst order coming from it. Overall, this facility is not as clean or well maintained as it could be but I am still considering it due to they being able to provide transportation to my follow-up appt and it being close enough for family to visit.

Rooms are empty except bed. They charge $450 for diapers per month.

Model Studio was larger than I expected. Convenient parking garage.

This is in a good area, close to shops and near where I work (to visit Mom after work) but am not fond of it being right next to the freeway. Noise from busy Reseda Blvd. plus from the freeway depending on which way your room is facing. Plus, only one thermostat for every 5 rooms. Looking for individual room thermostats as Mom is always cold.

includes laundry 1X week fresh towels and cleaning daily. They will give meds This is near the 105 freeway. This place is nice. They provide some furniture. Near shopping (Target/Walmart within walking distance) and about 10 miles from Cecilia and 13 miles from family. DR's release needed. When I dropped in I did not have an appointment, and the Director was very gracious and gave me a tour and answered all of my questions. This was my second choice.

A possibility

Older location, nice

Level of care is determined by the nurse. Base rate for a studio is @ $2095. Level 1 - $575; Level 2 - $850; Level 3 - $1100. Time, frequency, staff leads to plan and price.

has all needs and dimencia area

There has been some improvement with new management and ownership. Facility is clean and comfortable. The only major concern is the food is not very appetizing and often poorly prepared.

My loved one lived in the community for a short time. The food was very oriental and my loved one was not used to it. The feeling they received in the community was not a family feeling or positive atmosphere. The staff was nice and they did try to help them feel a little more at home. Activities were offered as well as a beautician services for the residents who liked this.

At first we were very impressed with personal attention and overall facility. However, some billing issues and very slow service and rape to personal care needs at times and with the major change in food service times, now dinner is so early it is ridiculous, have changed our view. It is still a good value, safe, clean, and with the basic amenities, but there are definite issues.
