Recent reviews of Independent Living in Santa Nella, CA
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.

Ivy Park at Salinas
5.0

Friendly staff, clean facility, and proactive. I would recommend to others. I picked this community because of the atmosphere and pricing.

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.
