Castle Vista in Atwater, CA
5.0

I have lived at Castle Vista since April 2014. It is a great place to retire. The residents are caring and friendly. I have made many friends here. The maintenance is excellent. One phone call is all you need if you have a problem. There are daily activities. Always something fun to do. I have a 4 bedroom, 2 bath. The utility costs are low. The rent is affordable when compared to other homes in our area. I feel safe and secure here. The staff is great. Thank you Dave, Jennifer and Denise. I hope to spend many more years here.

Skyline Place in Sonora, CA
5.0

Our Mom spent 4 1/2 years at Skyline Place and recently passed away there. We have nothing but praise for the staff. They loved and cared for her like family. The facility and services were excellent. Mom raved about Skyline to everyone she met. We are grateful for their care for our dear Mom.

Park Merced
4.9

Park Merced was a great help to our family in helping us with mom. Mom's room had an awful smell around the bathroom and we could never find the source. Staff is super awesome and did everything they can for us or our mom. Staff was great getting mom her medication and cleaning mom. Mom was unable to go to the dining hall for meals but staff did an excellent job in bringing it to her room. She complained about the food being bland but I think it was just mom. Mom wasn't there long enough to do any activities but it seemed like the residents enjoyed themselves. Even though we had to pay for extra care for mom it seemed reasonable out of all the other places.
