Turnaround Solutions

Very nice place but I am not sure that mom can afford it.

Mom's very shy in the beginning so unless someone goes down to meals with her or activites but once she's around people she enjoys it, she really is a social butterfly once she gets there. She has cataract's but is getting surgery in the next couple of weeks but I'm hoping since she was forced into the situation and she can't see, after she gets this cataract done she's going to feel much better. They do try to encourage her but she won't listen sometimes, the actvities that she's done already she enjoyed. Her bath aid has been wonderful to her, she'll bring food up for her if she doesn't want to go to dinner, her and the cleaning lady has been real good to her. They have gone out of their way to help her. The directors even want to really encourage her and if they see her out they come up to her and say how happy they are to see her, they're really putting it out there for them. We're really happy with it..

Montvale Estates offers a good variety of activities for the residents, some of the activities looked so fun I wanted to join in. The location of this community really made it convenient for our family to visit. There is just so many factors that really made us chose this community like location, price, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. It is located right across the street from a grocery store and right behind that there is a lot of doctors offices anything from optomitrist to audiologist. The have really comfortable places to sit down and relax both inside the community and outside. When the residents do not feel well they can ask the staff to bring them their meals to their rooms. The food was really good they have all kinds of food and big variety, there was home made bread, home made muffins, fresh fruit and anything else you can order off a menu. I would highly recommend them, in fact I am handing out their cards like if I work for them. Any time I see a person who might possibly need a community like this I let them know about it.

most expensive 1BR at $3900/ great dining hall and foyer with fireplace; ice water daily. they use pendant safety system instead of pull cords; activities very important to residents.

sounds really cool

medicade waiver. active community high level of care available memory care available

Very nice place. Activity rooms centrally located. Wading pool in center of complex. Feels more like separate apartments. PG&E and phone are extra. Refrigerator and double-burner stove top in kitchen area.

All staff is very friendly and helpful. But the administrative staff is not always there during business hours and is very busy. The administrative assistant is very new and doesn't have much knowledge of the workings and procedures. Maybe this will be better with experience. The two senior staff are very busy, it appears one handling the wellness and the other the general business. I was also surprised that an actual nurse is not always present on site, sometimes just the healthcare assistants. But they appear trained and are dedicated and caring. When I rated value for the money, I expect that the Parkway is a good value but all assisted care is so expensive. So it is hard to feel like it is not expensive. The Parkway was the best facility we found of the many investigated in our search.

The staff is great. Weekend are a little rough when agency staff takes over. The food could be better, but my mom is the pickiest person I know. Communication is good and they always work with me for the best care of my mom.

Castlewood is a gorgeous facility. It did cost more, the price is all add on fees instead of "all inclusive". Which is great for independent people, but for someone who may need more care it can get expensive. Had money not been an issue, this would have been our first choice.

So far so good. He seems to be adjusting well and has made some friends. They have a lot of activities provided and do a great job with that. We have not had any issues and are happy with the experience so far. I think the admissions process could have been a little smoother. I would recommend to others looking

The community was nice but there were just some things that I felt that would not work well for my loved one. He is older and not in many activities so the community was a little too big for my loved ones needs. The community was not bad just did not work for my loved one.

I moved here years ago -- my children chose this place so I could be close to them. Of course I miss my friends in [city name removed], but [name removed] my cat and I are are pretty happy here. The staff is great -- very caring! The food, very rarely but sometimes not to my liking, but you can't please everyone! Almost forgot -- our activities director has planned great activities for us that help us stay out of mischief! ??

Our tour was great. It did seem more like a sales pitch, so they were not as personable. The facility is very nice, but more expensive.

We know other people in this community and they have been great to everyone that we know. The staff seem to be good and I have not had any problems with anyone in this community.

I would recommend you check the community our for your loved one. I feel there could be more variety of food available for the residents. There was no activities director for a while, and there is now one. I feel there could be more options for activities for my loved one.

We do think the meals and dining service is pretty good, but right now due to covid the food is being delivered to their rooms. The community has a calendar that lists activities for the residents, and there seems to always be a good amount of things for the residents to do.

We brought mom here for re-hab until she could go home again after she got her strength back from Chemo treatments. We love the place with its newly remolded rooms and entire facility. The dining room is restaurant style and is open from 7:00[removed] which mom and us really like. The food is wonderful too. The staff make her and us feel very comfortable. They make sure mom was always introduced to ladies that she got to be friendly with. The staff is very attentive in getting her out of her room to eat her meals and participate in Kent Ridge activities. I would recommend Kent Ridge to anyone.

My mother is in memory care. My father could no longer care for her. We chose Carriage Court after a tour and talk with staff. It is close to all our homes and the care and attention she is getting let's us sleep at night without worrying about her. There is plenty of staff around and they are always very attentive to their patients and visitors. We are so glad we contacted A Place for Mom.

I think the Boulevard is a beautiful place to live. My husband and I have lived here for six months. We moved in shortly after it opened in September, 2017. We are very happy here. The staff is very good and most accommodating . Everyone I have met here is delightful and also happy to be here. The food is excellent. There are always new dishes to try and many choices from which to choose. There is always something to do from the planned activities. If you are thinking of a retirement community choose the Boulevard. You will not be sorry. You will love living here.
