Friendly and welcoming
We chose Katella because of the location and size and beauty of the rooms. Nice community. I think the harder part was that my mom was a little combative and not an easy patient, and they only had so much time to be able to help her eat, but I also think that there were times that they could have got things a better situated for her. Overall, we would definitely recommend it though.

They are not trained to assist with those that suffer from dementia. They have little patience for those that need extra care. Extra services that we were told they had changed after we moved our mother in.

What we like the most about Katella Senior Living is that it is comfortable, quiet and the staff are always friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this community to other families, and already have!

I cannot rate the meals and dining services as well as the activities because I did not observe. During our loved ones stay I was mostly out of town and not within the facility so it is hard to say what we liked more or if they had room for improvements, but based on the experience we would recommend the community to other families.

My father chose this location due to it being close to their home so he could visit often. The staff were extremely competent, caring, patient and compassionate.

Every time we went, the staff were very helpful and kind. The areas were all clean. The move in process was fairly simple. It could use some updating as other places we visited were more bright and welcoming. I would recommend the facility.

I visited about 8 places. This is close to the hospital and her doctors. It has a nice layout around a courtyard. It's the right scale for her; some of the places I visited were just too big or the rooms or apartments were too large and I was worried about her navigating them.

Very supportive environment. Adjacent to a skilled nursing facility and across the street from a hospital and other medical services. Responsive billing department. Residents are charged based on different levels of care and ensuring your loved one is property evaluated is important. Terrific grounds keeper/maintenance staff and very accommodating dietician. The head nurse is amazing.

It is so nice living at Katella Senior Living. I have an independent apartment and my happiness, privacy, and peace of mind is more than I ever imagined. Once my loved one passed away, I had no desire to be completely alone and was wanting a place with good programs and good food! Also, a place where I would feel safe and I could just be "me." I knew I couldn't stay alone any longer in my home, and I entrusted my daughter to choose a place for me. Katella Senior Living is my new home and I wouldn't have it any other way. The staff is very caring and I have met wonderful friends.

I love Katella Senior Living. My family looked at many places and choice the most charming and most comfortable. I have a bridge club and I told the group to come here first if they ever need care or seeking apartment and community living. Your food is delicious and everyone has been so helpful and kind.

Thank you so much to [name removed], [name removed], and the rest of the staff at Katella. From our first conversation to every one after, they have been kind, understanding, honest, and direct. Most importantly, the team is working to make sure my mother has everything she needs to be successful. I can sleep at night with the peace of mind that she is well taken care of.

I have been at Katella Senior Living for almost 9 years and this is such a terrific place to call my home. I recall quickly feeling comfortable, free to be me independently and very safe. Before I came here my family and I discussed maybe living with my daughter though I never wanted to feel tended to in that way by my children. I also did not want to be at home during each day as they worked. At Katella, I have gained so many enduring friendships and love the staff. During this pandemic, I feel especially grateful to be here as we have each other.

I haven't found anything I don't like at Katella Senior Living! I came here with my husband when he was very ill and they fulfilled all of his needs completely. He has since passed and Katella Senior Living remains my home.

They really try and sell the community to you. There are a lot of things that you pay for additionally that was presented as part of the monthly fee. It's not as good as what they made it out to be, such as cleaning and changing the linens. There has been items stolen from my loved one. The community works with hospice; however, we are relying more on hospice than the community. We thought there would be more care from the community than they provide. It would be nice to have the same the answer from all staff. Not all the staff are LVN.

I am very thankful for the experience I had with all the staff at Katella Senior Living. Anna provided me with all the necessary information I needed to make an informed decision regarding the living situation for my grandparents. She was always available to answer any of my questions and for a tour. The staff at the front desk was also helpful and friendly.

My fiercely independent 94 year old mother was hospitalized with acute pneumonia. After being in hospital/skilled nursing for about 6 weeks, I was told that I needed to find her another place. She was not in a good place physically or mentally; I was distraught and panicked until I started talking to one of the directors at Katella Senior Living. I don’t know what I would have done without her support. She kept reassuring me that it would be okay. As soon as there was a room available for my mom, she got her in and made sure that it was a smooth transition. For the 1st time in weeks, I was no longer in crisis mode. Since my mom has been there she has regained most of her strength and her mind is as sharp as ever. I was worried that she would be upset to be in assisted living instead of at home, but the staff at Katella Senior Living treat her with such dignity, respect and compassion that I think she feels better about herself being there. You won’t find a better place.

I am pleased with the care that Katella Senior Living has been able to provide for my mother over the last six months. The staff has been very understanding about my mother’s chronic health issues and has made sustained efforts to help her.

We had to move our grandmother into a care facility in the middle of the pandemic, which was an extra stressful and anxious process. The staff at Katella was so understanding and gracious. They went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and to welcome our grandmother. They see her as a person, as part of their family, and continue to show great care for her health and well being. I'm so thankful we found her such a wonderful environment!
