Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Santa Ynez, CA
Fountain Square of Lompoc
4.3

Overall, the staff are very caring. They care for the residents very well and seem to be very loving people. The way the keep the community running is very nice, and it's very secure. My mom complains about how often they serve green beans, but she also doesn't tell them she wants something else, which I feel like they would try to accommodate if she would tell them.

Alexander Gardens in Santa Barbara, CA
4.7

Alexander Gardens is by far the most peaceful, beautiful, and friendly place I've seen. My mom loved being there, and the staff went above and beyond to make Mom feel at home. The grounds are the most beautiful and tranquil and amazing that I've seen in any other resident facility that I visited.
