Merrill Gardens at Gilroy
4.8

This is a good community to live. My loved one was able to make friends quickly here, and they feel safe. The staff communication with the family has been good and they have been responsive to our questions about our loved one. There are three meals a day served and there are choices for the residents to choose from. Also, the dining is open 7 am to 7 pm daily for the residents.

Whispering Pines Inn, LLC in Hollister, CA
5.0

Whispering Pines Inn has devotedly served the San Benito County for over 26 years. The management & staffs are caring & very responsive to their elderly residents. Being a caregiver is not an easy task. You have to have the heary & compassion which I have seen with the employees as well ad the owners who are there even on weekends. They are hands on in all they do!

Westmont of Morgan Hill
4.5

In August, we will have been in residence at Westmont for nine years. The Facility Director, was first to greet us, and he made us feel very welcome. We were initially attracted by the beauty of the facility and its location in Morgan Hill Since then, we have become even more fond of the facility, and we have learned to love the gifted staff that serves us. Our apartment is beautiful and spacious. And the high ceilings make it feel more spacious than it really is. We are glad we came to Westmont’ Living, and we would do it again.

Some of the caregivers deserve a strong 5. Others deserve maybe a 3 or 4. Overall, I feel the staff is stretched too thin, and mom does not get the personal attention she needs. But maybe that's the way it...
