#2 in Santa Clara, CA

Residents and their families say:

This community offers a mix of positive experiences for its residents, highlighting its affordability, beautiful outdoor areas including a pond and fountain, and the quality of meals provided. The presence of experienced staff, some of whom have been with the community for decades, adds to the appeal by ensuring continuity and familiarity for residents. The variety of chefs and the option for a la carte dining also stand out as particularly positive aspects, with many residents expressing satisfaction with the food, even if one reviewer found it good but not fabulous. The community's activities, including daily engagements and the provision of transportation for errands and appointments, contribute to a full and engaging resident experience. The facilities receive praise for their maintenance and cleanliness, and the inclusion of emergency response amenities like an emergency necklace adds a layer of safety and comfort for both residents and their families.

However, there are a few consistent criticisms that surface, including the layout and aging infrastructure of the buildings, which some found to be less modern and visually appealing. The size of some apartments, particularly one-bedroom units, and the dining room's distance from certain living quarters were points of concern for a few reviewers. Additionally, the navigational challenges within the community, such as long walks and narrow hallways, were highlighted by several as areas that could deter potential residents, especially those with mobility issues. Despite these drawbacks, the community's strengths in providing a caring and well-maintained environment with ample activities, dining options, and a pet-friendly policy seem to outweigh the negatives for many residents and their families.
