Independent Living Community in San Dimas, California

Moving to The Terraces was the best decision I could ever make for my dad with his Alzheimer's disease. The staff are kind, empathetic, caring, attentive, responsive, helpful, thoughtful, actively involved daily with the residence, supportive, and innovative in their approach to daily activities and living with memory care issues. Elizabeth is fantastic and runs the activities. She keeps them engaged & busy, and gets to know each residents likes and hobbies to incorporate things into her programs. It's a great comfort to the families knowing that they are with a staff who are experts in dealing with memory care issues. The doctor was going to increase my dad's medication because of behavioral issues at his prior memory care community. Once he moved to The Terraces, we realized it didn't need to be changed, he just needed to be more engaged and active. He's doing amazing and far better than when he got there.

My dad lives here. They're just great. The kids come and help them get dressed and take them to dinner. They serve three meals a day, they have Bingo, and they do one craft a week. They have some kind of entertainment in the ballroom every two weeks -- like singers or dancers -- and they have a party for each holiday. They help him every day, they get him out of bed, clothe him, and bathe him, and he can also press a button for help with anything else he needs.

It was very nice, like a 5-star hotel. We ate there. They had a menu like a restaurant, so you just pick out what you want. It was very nice and very fancy. We liked the rooms a lot, and they're big enough for two people. The staff seemed professional, and everybody was nice and happy there.

It was excellent and had a lot of benefits, like I can have a service dog and they had a dog park. I saw a studio apartment, but the closets weren’t large. The dining area was nice and open all the time, so you can go eat any time you want. This place is like a cruise ship with the amenities and activities that they offered. They were very careful to let you know that they didn’t have arrangements for anyone with Alzheimer's or serious memory problems. They made it very clear that they were for socializing and not for long-term care. They can give you assistance for bathing and the basic stuff.

I've been here for about a month now and it's been a very positive experience. I like it very much. Everyone is very friendly and the staff is very helpful, respectful, and caring. The food is very good and there are a lot of activities. I am very pleased with them.
