Scholl Canyon Estates

I chose it for my mom because of location, its cleanliness, it feels bright and warm in there and the cost was affordable. I would recommend it for senior retirement.

In general good but always short staffed More variety on food and lots of fresh vegetables. More activities and don't keep changing the times of certain activities and or events.

The entire staff has been very helpful! There's been a change in the on-site managers, but it's been good. Even though it is an Independent Living facility, there is an amazing lady [name removed] who lives there and runs a company that offers assistance when needed. When my mom moved there, she needed a lot of assistance (recovering from a fractured femur) and all the ladies that work for the company were great! Mom still gets help taking a shower, but that's all. The move-in process was easy. The elevators are large and there are hotel-style carts to help with large items. My mom says the food is very good and chose to stay there for her Thanksgiving meal. We have no concerns about mom living there. The shuttle is easy for her to utilize for Dr appts and trips to grocery/pharmacy. Scholl Canyon Estates gives me peace of mind that I don't worry about my mom's care.

I am currently a resident at Scholl Canyon Estates and my experience at this facility has been great so far. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The staff, care services and food are also great. It's all good here! I would recommend Scholl Canyon Estates to family and friends!

Even though my loved one moved out of the community. This is a very good option for a safe, clean, friendly, and healthy place for loved ones to live independently. The staff communication with the family was excellent when we had questions or concerns. There were three meals a day served and the residents had choices to choose from.

This was supposed to be a temporary place for my loved one while she was getting the treatment that she needed. I love everyone who live in this building and everyone has been quite well. Other things have been working out great because they are letting me stay to take care of my mother and be there whenever she needs me. The staff are great like the housekeeping and the assistant managers are all great. The building is a little old and could use some updates but overall it is clean.

Independent living at an affordable price near Dr.s and the Glendale hospital. I like the simple layout of the building, which makes it easy to navigate. The new Chef is an expert and she seems to really listen and care.

The food is more of processed food, high salt, and a fried menu. I would like to see better nutritional value with the meals. I would recommend this community based on my experience and overall it's been a good experience.

Overall, there are very good, very nice people here, and the staff is wonderful. But the food is just awful. I would rate it minus ten if I could. It's a Seven Day Adventist owned operation, so everything is turkey here. Turkey bacon, turkey burgers, turkey this, turkey that. I feel like that's being forced on me. The chef has no business cooking here and doesn't know how to cook. Everything we eat, no matter what it is, is cooked so long that it's dried out. There is no nutrition left in it, and meats and vegetables alike becomes so tough. I called Sysco, and they told me we get a pretty good cut of meat, and that the chefs are supposed to get creative with it. But they don't. I questioned the chef here, and he told me he was not allowed to. It's so bad that I'm going to ask management to reduce my monthly amount to include no food, and I will take care of my own cooking. I'm not alone either. There are many residents here that shop and buy their own food because they can't eat it either. There are also very little activities. Everything is Catholic hour. If I had known all of this, I probably wouldn't have moved in here. Maintenance is great, laundry is great, it's just the food. I'm the ambassador here, and I would instantly tell prospective residents about the food. They keep cutting our budget, and I have never gotten a strawberry here, not ever. I ordered a fruit plate the other day, it was four grapes, two slices of orange, and about four pieces of very hard, chewy, tasteless pineapple. So we are not getting good fruit here. I personally have lost seven pounds since I've moved in here because of the food. There is a tremendous amount of waste in our dining room because people won't eat the food. I do like it here. The other residents are very friendly. I'm trying to increase the activities here within the bounds of what they will allow. And I do my best to advocate for my fellow residents.

If you this is what your looking for, it is an excellent place. This is for seniors who shouldn't live alone anymore. There are activities for the residents and sometimes it takes a couple months to get them involved in them. This is way better than being by yourself. There is a balcony and floor to ceiling windows in my loved one's room.

The staff at Scholl Canyon Estates seem to genuinely care for the residents that live there. The staff are very nice people. The facilities there are really beautiful. In my experience, the food is good. The staff have good customer service.

There are so many amenities and activities the community offers. My loved one enjoys the church services offered, the exercise rooms, and the room that is like a theater. The residents get a movie theater experience with popcorn and comfortable seats. They also have a beautician on site this is another great thing. One of the things that i dislike are the meal portions they are very small and the repetition of the meals. Besides this it's a wonderful place for mom.

Friendly, warm, clean, close to one hospital. Great setting in the activity areas. Providing transportation service, doctor visit service. Lots of daily activities to keep your mind occupied. Meal selection is wonderful. Theater is a wonderful surprise. Personally, I like the place very much. Except they do not have bathtub in the 1 bed setting.

I thing is that they need consistency with the kitchen staff. They seem to have an issue with quality.

They are friendly. [removed] They are Adventist, so they don't serve pork in the lunchroom and the food, my mom says, is sub-standard, which is her biggest complaint.

As a professional fiduciary for the past 23 years, I have visited well over 100 residential homes and placed many clients. I am grateful to have discovered Scholl Canyon Estates. After placing a client at SCE recently, I have observed the services they provide and the high level of personal attention and support they give to residents, which ensures a safe and nurturing environment for elders and others. Even the outside care service they have contracted with gives excellent service. I believe that SCE is one of the best residential homes in Southern California.

Scholl Canyon Estates is fantastic! They have a great activity schedule, the management is fantastic, and they helped me with during a difficult time with my father who's now back to being himself!

They seem to be really on the ball. I’d like to have more low sodium food. In my experience, they are very clean. I’m very happy with the activities that are offered and the level of care provided. They are all really great to my mom.
