Nursing Homes Community in Monterey, California

My husband used Victorian Home Care. We had a girl who was a college graduate, and she was nice. It worked real well. However, one of the main reasons I had requested helpers was for someone to help give him a shower. She fixed him lunch, which is our dinner, but he didn't want her to give him a shower. They had a nice relationship. It just didn't work. We used them one day a week for four hours. Everything was good. She changed the sheets on his bed, she vacuumed the area rug in the living room for me, and she took the dog for a walk. The value for the money was good.

We looked at the assisted living here. I loved it. It was new, very clean, very bright, and it felt like a really nice, cozy home. There were no weird smells in the air, and it was like somebody's home. The staff member was very nice. We saw the different areas where they gather to talk about the news, and they had an itinerary each day of what classes or outings were available.

We visited the assisted living of Park Lane. It was very impressive, very large, older, but a very nicely appointed facility. They have a couple of different outings, they go shopping, sightseeing, and they have quite a few things going on for the residents. I thought that was impressive. The staff member was very nice, we really enjoyed it, and they did a good job. We ate there, and the food was very nice.

The person who gave us the tour at The Park Lane was fairly new. It was adequate, but not as helpful as some of the other places we went to. The place reminded me of a two-star motel. The dining room was being remodeled. It looked like they had lots of activities like exercise classes and lectures. They could get nicer lighting and decoration in the corridors because it seemed kind of dark and plain.

The Park Lane's care, the rooms, and the staff are excellent. I love the facilities. The property is kept up neat as a pin. All the girls are very professional and wear uniforms every day, which are nice, clean and pressed, and their hair is done up, nice and neat. There are no crazy people running around. It's very well organized. My mom is in assisted living. They have more activities than they know what to do with in a day. The value is very good, and I got a discount during the check-in. It's very reasonable and locked in for a year, so that’s really good.
