It is a bright and open environment that is welcoming to residents and families. They have many choices for activities daily. And they go on outings to Santa Barbara weekly. It's a wonderful location.

Cliff View Terrace in Santa Barbara, CA
5.0

I would like to share our experience with Cliff View Terrance assisted living facility, especially for those starting out to address the needs of someone they love. I moved my mother to Cliff View Terrance a couple of months ago. Anyone who has started down this path knows, good places are hard to find, and wait lists are long. We looked at many long term care places for my mother and honestly were very lucky that Cliff View Terrace was one of the facilities we saw. We looked at small convereted houses with few patients and a small staff to larger facilities. Cliff View Terrace stood out right away. The facility is absolutely beautiful and I cannot say enough good things about the increadible staff. They all have big hearts and endless patience. A doctor is frequently present and can adjust medications as needed. The meals are great, and the programs offered, music, exercise, crafts, etc. remind me of a cruse ship. We feel very fortunate to have my mother here.
