Pacific Pointe is clean and nicely put-together. The person that assisted me is very nice. I had lunch there and it was good, just like a restaurant. Some of their activities are swimming, cards and they have an art class.

Westmont at San Miguel Ranch was very good, the building was new, and they had tons of areas where people could sit, read, or do jigsaw puzzles. They had activity rooms and a great library. The staff is very engaged with everyone. The people who serve in the dining room have been given extra training on how to deal with people with memory loss for memory care. If you were an elderly person looking confused, even a housekeeper would stop and ask if you needed help, and I saw that more than once. The food was very nutritious and well-balanced, and there were a lot of locally resourced and farm-fresh, farm-to-table kind of stuff during the seasons, so the food was good. They had a wide selection for people of different tastes. You could choose from a cheeseburger and fries or a Caesar or a Cobb salad for lunch. They had healthy options as well as something that would be appealing for somebody who has a fast food fetish. The facilities were fabulous. They had walking trails, their apartments were nicely done, and their 1-bedrooms had full kitchens, full refrigerators, and a stove. It was the same setup in memory care but with a microwave and no stove. It was quite pretty.
