Sonida Senior Living

The Villa Santa Barbara is a very nice community for several reasons. The food is better than in any of the past 5 places I have stayed. The rent is better (by far) than in any of the previous places that I've stayed. The managerial staff is top notch! Very friendly and ALWAYS there to help you with any question you may have. They are seriously the best people. Our dining room servers are so polite and great at their jobs. Our chef cares about what we think of her cooking and is always open to resident's suggestions. Also, we are just 3 blocks from State Street so walking to the beach is fantastic as you get to shop all the way down to the ocean! We have a nice pool table that I use frequently and, of course, there are other activities conducted by the staff for the residents. We have an exercise room where I do an hour of cycling a day and workout with the therabands. I would not choose to live in any other assisted living place in the Santa Barbara area.

I have been part of Cottonwood Village for years thru the VA. I drove the VA van in Cottonwood and then my husband's dad moved into Cottonwood Village about 2 years ago. We love the facility & staff.

I moved into Brookview Meadows a few months ago and wished I would have been here years ago. Everyone is friendly, helpful, supportive and very caring. My loneliness has diminished to the point of being nonexistent. The activities are creative. There are many types of activities to fit the many different residents. This place has been a blessing in my life.

Four years and very happy. Staff is great, building well kept, and good food!

Friendly place! Food is good & employees are efficient with their time.

Absolutely fabulous staff, kind & friendly, very attentive. Would highly recommend this establishment to anyone.

I like this AL. The food is really good. The staff is very nice and competent. Administrative staff is very responsive to any problems that may arise.

The overall service ie excellent. Staffing has been a problem in that management cannot maintain loyal hires through no fault of their own. A facility wide notification speaker system may be the answer for the fire plan that covers all residents in the building.

I toured here for my grandmother. I didn’t really know what questions to ask or what exactly I was looking for. They walked me through everything and told me about benefits she may qualify for that I didn’t even know existed. Everyone who lives there looks happy and well cared for.

Employees and residence of Summit Point were very kind and welcoming. We visited on several occasions, some of which were unannounced to get a good feel for what it would be like to live there. Each time we were greeted by residents sharing their positive experiences of living at Summit Point, this was helpful when making our decision.

Staff was warm and very friendly. They have been responsive to mom's requests and needs.Very down to earth folks...made mom comfortable immediately. Good choice for her!

It takes care of all my needs and I'm very pleased.It's a great place.

My Auntie just moved to Summit Point’s Independent Living this past October 2023. She just loves her new home! We love visiting her there! Can’t say enough about her home, the staff, the food, the entertainment, etc, etc. A special shout out to [name removed] for taking our Auntie by the hand and walking her through the whole process of deciding to live here, choosing her apartment, and making sure knows all the ropes! [name removed] was there for her from start to finish! And now the she is tucked in at Summit Point, she is always available to help our Aunt! She is now her friend! Thank You Summit Point for your hospitality!

Living at Cottonwood Village is a joy. I have resided here for 4 years. I have made some great friends. It's like one big happy family. I enjoy the activities that are offered. There is space in my apartment to do my own hobbies like sewing.

I have lived at Cottonwood Village going on 7 years and I am very happy. There have been a few bumps in the road, but I love this community and don't want to be anywhere else. I am thankful this is my home.

My mom has been at Summit Point for nearly three years now and just loves it there! She’s made so many new and caring friends! The staff there is outstanding, caring, and compassionate! The meal are awesome and the dining room staff are so helpful. My mom’s day is filled with fun and engaging activities, and of course Bingo is her favorite three times a week. Transportation is provided weekly to many of the local shopping centers so the residents are able to still feel independent. My mom even gets to attend her local church every Sunday by transportation provided by Summit Point! If you are looking for a place that your elderly love one can live in an independent loving environment, then you should consider checking out Summit Point in Macedonia!

I have been quite happy with Cottonwood Village. The apartments are nice and quiet. The staff and residents are very friendly. The administration team are so pleasant and helpful. A great place to live!

I've been here about a year. I really enjoy the staff because they are always friendly and very helpful. I've made good friends here. The food is good and offers a variety of options. The activities on site are fun.

It took me 5 years to convince my father to move out of his house. He had lived there for over 25 years and was approaching 93 years old. He loves his independence. He was worried that his apartment would be to small and he would feel cramped. Since moving in he continues to tell me how much he likes his place. He has a large one bedroom apartment. The rooms are large and the ceilings are high which makes everything seem roomier. There is great closet space, a large bathroom which makes it safe and easy to move around. He even has a door which opens to an outdoor patio. My dad commented to me a couple days ago that he feels like the staff really cares about the residents. They keep the place clean, serve food with a smile and respond to maintenance issues that my dad has. I don’t hesitate to tell friends and those that ask about how much Summit Pointe lives up to and exceeds our expectations. There is such a great diversity of people. My dad has made many friends!

We looked at a lot of options for Independent Living in Springfield and this place stood out to us because of the staff and the luxury feel of and the overall feeling that you are at a resort. The only real complaint that I have is the food is not really very good. It's okay, but there is a lot to be desired with the kitchen. They really need to step up in that area.
