Carmel Village at Clovis Senior Living

Meals can be the highlight of the day for people at this period in their lives. After two , month long visitation stays, as I reside out of state, I have found the food and service to be mediocre at best, at times painfully poor. I realize it is difficult for most to invest this time observing their loved ones living environment but I am sure for many like myself, unless Jesus walks through the door my parents are the most important people on the face of this earth.I am curious but there seem to be far to many five star ratings.

It's only been a week but so far Carmel Village seems like a great fit for our family. Very caring staff.

[Name removed] was amazing. She answered all my questions and showed the best cottage living home. It would be perfect for my parents BUT they ARE NOT ready to move at this time. I tried but dad says they are fine where they are for now. We are still talking to them. Thanks for the suggestion Best one yet.

We placed my mother in this facility and she could not be happier. [Name removed], the GM, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. The food is outstanding, and the facility is very clean. My mother has found a new family, and now that she is in her final few days, the people care for her like she is their mother, not a resident. Do yourself and your loved one a favor and go tour the facility.

Very friendly and fast paced atmosphere. Good organization and the administration covers all the bases. Great cottages for independent living and clean, tasteful decorated main building for residents. Very good first impression and would schedule another

brand new facility...beautiful apartments and amenities......the rent is higher here but the care they provide that is included in the rent makes it well worth it. We are leaning towrad selecting this one. Haven't made a final decision yet....it's really up to MOM :)

This February will mark my 2 year anniversary as a Resident at Carmel Village. I look forward to happy hour every Friday at 3pm. I love inviting my 4 year old grand-daughter to come enjoy the live entertainment. It’s something we look forward to every week.

I’ve lived here for over a year now. The residents are so nice and the Staff is excellent. It’s a nice environment to live in. The new chef is wonderful.

Best thing is cleanliness . You would think the walls would all be banged up, but it's not. Food is exceptional, chicken dishes are the best. Always hot. Plus, I asked for them to start having whole milk, and they made sure we had it. Funny how the waitresses say asparagus and chicken Kiev. They need to visit some fancy restaurants sometimes so they can read the specials correct. The one thing they could work on is the laundry, but I am learning the ropes here too.

My mother is doing well in the memory care portion of this community. I do feel comfortable with the care she is receiving. The staff is good. They are kind, and helpful when needed. They are taking good care of my mother, and her needs.

this place has a lot to offer and appreciated their educational approach for guests. We did not like the fee setup so think [Removed] prefers the idea of Orchard Park but Carmel Village is a contender

Very fancy, nice, friendly staff. Too rich for my families taste.

Things started off a little rocky and didn't turn out the way we had hoped but mom is doing fine there now. She has made some friends and is participating in social events and activities. The food has a lot of room to be improved. The staff is friendly and helpful very kind. The community is clean and well maintained.

My mother has recently made the move into this community and so far we are very pleased with how things are going for her. The staff have been accommodating to her needs and I am comfortable with the quality of care she is receiving. She has had no complaints about the meals and enjoys participating in some of the activities from time to time with the other residents.

Visited Carmel Village on August 9, 2017. Met with [Removed], one of the marketing directors. Our conversation was informative, and she answered all my questions and concerns. Had an excellent tour of the village.

I have no complaints about the experience I had at this community for my loved one. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions I had for them in detail. It was just no the right fit in the end decision.

We had a very nice tour at Carmel Village at Clovis Senior Living. It is a beautiful and really nice community. Very clean and well kept. The staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions. We did see the residents participating in activities, and they had some live musical entertainment going on while we were there. The only thing missing was they did not have Bridge for one of their activities. My Mom must play Bridge!

I live in one of the new cottages they built last year behind the large facility. I have my own garage, 1245 sq feet, 2 bedrooms, 30 meals a month, 2 full baths with walk-in shower, my own washer and dryer inside, once a week housekeeping, a full kitchen (stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and island with place for stools) and my own private patio. I only pay rent, and if I add additional features to my TV or add a house phone, I pay for those, otherwise I do not pay for power, trash pickup, water or Gardner. I LOVE it. They are all very nice around here. I chose this place after visiting 12 other facilities, 4 in Bakersfield, 6 in Fresno and 2 in the Bay Area where I was living the last 30 years.

My mother's stay at Carmel Village is going great! The staff are sure to care for my mother very well. She also gets plenty opportunities to socialize with other residents during mealtimes and at set activity times, such as when the piano player comes. One concern I have, however, is that the staff do not come in to clean my mother's room or change her linens as often as I would like. If they could do this, then I would have no complaints about the facility!

I have no complaints about the tour I had taken of this community. Everyone was very friendly and made sure to take there time with my loved one and I during our visit. The building was very clean and had a lot of great amenities available to all of the residents. It was just not the right fit for my father in the end decision.
