We went to The Commons on Thornton. It was beautiful, actually. It was really nice, and the people looked so kind and so helpful. If I were to pick a place, that's where we would have put my aunt. We just decided not to, but it was very nice, very clean, and when we walked in we just felt good. The residents were happy, they were walking around, and it was just very welcoming. Even when I walked by rooms, people had their doors open, they were very friendly, and they enjoyed walking up for me to see a furnished place. It reminded me of a cruise: people come out of their rooms, they all meet, they play cards, but it was kind of distant because of COVID. But people were just enjoying themselves and were happy.

We chose Rose Place Memory Care for my husband. We needed a quick emergency placement, but also one that was affordable. He has been placed, so we are good for now. It is strictly for dementia and Alzheimer's patients, so it's very locked down and very secure. I have met quite a few of the staff, and I like them. I feel comfortable with him there. Communication has been good because he has needed quite a bit of medication adjustments, and sometimes I need to talk to him for a few minutes to calm him down from his severe hallucinations. They are on top of it. They let me know about the upcoming vaccine, and once the vaccine was done, how he was doing. There is really good communication. The facility itself is a little older. I don't want to say it's run down, but it was a little older. He's getting good care, though, from the people who work there. It's a good central location and it's easy to access. They have a good relationship with local hospice organization because he's also getting hospice care and that's a nice plus for me.

We chose The Commons on Thornton for my father. We're waiting for his doctor to release his medical records, and then he'll be moving in after that. We were very impressed with it. The residents themselves seemed very happy and engaged. The staff was very friendly. It was very clean and very organized, so we were very, very happy with what we saw. We did not try any food because of COVID, but we could smell it, and it smelled delicious, so I think it's probably good. They have several activities. They have some of the things that they do normally have that they have rolled out throughout the year that they're not able to do that right now because of the COVID, but they do have an exercise class going one day. We've visited three times, so one day they were having an exercise class and everybody was spaced out more than six feet away. They have a library so there were people in the library and some were reading, some were at a computer, and a few were playing cards. There's like a café, so there were people in the café. They were enjoying a cup of coffee or whatever, then they had residents and staff together, so that was nice to see. He's in assisted living, so it'll be a studio apartment. They come in I believe it's once a week, they clean it, and they do their laundry for them. Food and drink is available 24-hours, the meals are three times a day, but they do have snacks available. In my opinion, the three times that I was there it was very clean, the layout is nice, it's not confusing. They don't have like special events or anything right now, but if they're on a normal day when there's no COVID it's very engaging with the residents. Even just walking the house, the people group them by name, and were very friendly, so you could tell they engage with them. They don't have all the things that they would normally have. They have what they can right now.

My tour at The Commons on Thornton was very informative. They went over everything as far as what they had to offer and the prices. The person who gave us the tour answered all our questions. They also told me about all the activities and amenities that they had.

The Commons on Thornton was beautiful. I wish I could live there myself. They have everything. The rooms were very nice and well sized. The staff was very welcoming. The dining area was like a restaurant. I felt like I was on a cruise ship. It seemed like 4-star dining, and you could go in between mealtimes and get food. There were residents playing cards in one of the common areas. It's like a little community.

My aunt has moved into Camlu Assisted Living. It is nice and I like it. However, I wish they had more activities for her to do, i.e., more games and card games. I also wish there was a wider variety of food and that they had a separate lunch and dinner time. The staff members are fantastic. They're very nice people. The room looks nice and clean.

I visited the Oaks at Inglewood. I liked it, but we liked to do our own cooking, and they don't have room for that. They have a schedule for people taking them out for appointments. I looked at a 1-bedroom, and it's a little small, but wheelchairs could get in. They allowed dogs in the facility.

My dad is in The Oaks at Inglewood. It needs better management or better supervision. In my opinion, their instructions for their employees are lacking. In my dad's case, he had to pay for somebody to get him showered or give him a bath or something. But if you look at a person's duties, it doesn't say "to shower" or "to shave him", you're paying for the service, but there's nothing documented that you can hang your head on. That's my biggest complaint. And the fact that it's changing hands, I was waiting for the new organization to come in and have a meeting because it was lacking. We pay extra money for the service when they come and help them go to the bathroom or change his pants. There's a lack of enthusiasm there even though they're getting paid. In terms of food, Pegasus allows residents to go outside the community, like to Best Buy or wherever you can get it, while in other communities you have to buy the food from them. I've tasted the food, and if I decide to have lunch there I can look at the menu and decide what I get. They're supposed to come in and vacuum the rooms or once a year shampoo the carpets, but I haven't seen them do that yet. We pay for the laundry too but they don't fold it. And they're supposed to do all that, and put them in the drawers, but that doesn't happen. I have always seen them do plenty of activities and picnics, one time I even went out there and helped him barbecue burgers and hotdogs. The new organization just took over for about three weeks now. In my opinion, the patients are getting ripped off because there's on check and balance. Nobody signs off saying "I was in this room today and I cleaned it" or "I gave this resident a bath". And there are days when there's no hot water and my dad is not getting credit for it.

Rio Las Palmas was probably the best place we went to. The place was really spacious and clean. The staff was good, and they looked like they ran a pretty tight ship. Everything in there was beautiful. The first thing you see is a really grand entrance area with a really big sitting area in the entrance way and a lot of people congregate there. There's a piano, food and water, and a fountain. It's just a really pleasant area as soon as you walk in. The rooms were spacious enough for wheelchair access. They also had probably the most to offer as far as things to do seven days a week, five times a day. They have something to do for everyone. The best part of it was they listened to the residents because a few of them requested for a music room, and they were in the middle of converting a room that they don't use into a music room for them. They go above and beyond. The kitchen area was nice and they have a huge outdoor area which has got to be half an acre. It's all updated and very nice. I would live there.
