WellQuest Living

I am a retired Gerontologist, professionally familiar with a wide range of senior residences , Although I personally had no intention of ultimately moving into a congregate housing situation, once I was introduced to Cardinal Point, I thought "I can do this." CP is exceptional in it's location, size, character, amenities, residents, and outstanding dining offerings. There is no finer choice in the greater Bay Area.

I am a retired realtor and was invited to see Cardinal Point when it first opened. I told my husband I would like to live there one day. I loved it from the beginning and when I first toured it reminded me of being on a cruise ship. Who knew - about 12 years later we moved in. My husband, who was not well, lived here 8 months before passing away and I was so very happy that I was here and not alone living in a big house! Over the years I have met many wonderful friends and enjoy their company . I love our dining room, with it's beautiful views of the water and many boats. The food is delicious, the wait staff wonderful and best of all I don't have to cook. I have maid service every week. My bed is changed, linens washed and house cleaned. What more could you ask for! There are beautiful walking paths for your .pleasure. We enjoy a lovely courtyard and swimming pool. All our managers are delightful and helpful. I am Blessed.

I moved here in [date removed] with my wife who had cognitive decline. She died in [date removed] and even though I am healthy and only 77 I have chosen to stay here. This is like a cruise ship, excellent dining room with a varied menu, attentive staff, location on the water, heated swimming pool year-round. We have many activities to suit resident requirements for exercise and entertainment. This is my final move and it will be yours as well

We picked this community because of the location. Beautiful grounds. Lots of activities and entertainment.

With my 2 siblings as residents of Laurel Heights, and my weekly visits to see them, I feel that I am a good judge of the care and kindness that the staff have shown and provided for the last 15 months. I am notified immediately of any changes In health or behavior that they exhibit. You will not find a care facility more attentive or responsive to their needs than Laurel Heights. I am so grateful to the employees and directors. Thank you, [name removed], and staff……

The grounds are well kept and garden area is very nice. The staff is always very pleasant and friendly. The food is very good.

Everyone is so friendly that works there. Once my mom got used to the day to day activities and made friends she has been happy. She’s eating better, getting out and seems happier. As a family we are happy she is safe and is getting the help she needs.

A place for mom , was very persistent with helping us get my sister a new place to live. We were very happy with their services and would recommend them to anyone in need of assistance with living arrangements. Thank you to all of the staff at A place for mom

My 94 year old Mom was resistant to leaving her residence where she had lived by herself for 25 years. We set her up at Carmel Village and she is thriving. She is eating better and getting more exercise. She agrees that this was the right move for her.

I would rate all at 5 - we have a resident council that meets once a week. The executive director has a Town Hall meeting once a month. There are many activities so you can be involved as much as you like. There is also a hair salon on site.

Overall experience - good combination of value and quality. Clealiness -facility looks good Friendliness of staff - Great staff. They often say hi by name to residents in hallways. They are very positive and upbeat. Quality of care - good care, they address issues as they come up. Could use a bit more staff. Meals/Dining - they have good food, parents like it. Activities - Lots of them and a variety, however my parents do not take advantage of many of them. Overall a good value.

I would tell a friend, that it is great. The average age is definitely in the 80's. My father in law was younger but suffering from Parkinson's so he didn't socialize much. The staff is extremely friendly, trustworthy and attentive. He received excellent care which allowed for us to have peace of mind.

My mother had a positive experience at Cardinal Point. Building friendships and receiving compassionate care can greatly enhance the quality of life, especially in the later stages. She found a supportive community here, which was very comforting for her and our family. We will always be grateful for all of the positive experiences that left lasting memories and gratitude for us and the care providers who made a difference in her life.

I have lived here over nine years and can’t imagine being anywhere else. I visited 11 other retirement communities and none were even close. We are small enough with a perfect activity calendar and great food. The location along water is ideal with temperate climate. Friendly residents and staff - what’s not to like!

People are friendly, food is great, and activities wonderful.Rooms are adequate. I love the movie theater, too. Outings are frequent enough. Medical staff is trained and good security. Plenty of walking paths available.

The transition to Pasadena Highlands was as smooth as it could be. [name removed] bent over backwards to accommodate our every need. My mom has been in the facility for over a month and after not wanting to move, she now can’t stop telling us how much she loves her new place. Everyone there knows her name and we are beyond grateful that we found this place! The garden area in back is a particular treasure to have found as my mom really enjoys walking and needed a place to do so safely. We can’t say enough about how fortunate we feel to have found this gem with the help of A Place for Mom!

Carmel Village community has beautiful grounds and is just overall a nice facility. What we like the most about the community is the friendly staff they have working there. Based on the experience we have had, we have already recommended this community to others and will continue to do so.
