Cogir Senior Living

I would say the residents and most of the staff are very friendly and concerned about each other. Take the time and initiative to get to know as many people as possible. The building is beautiful, and the food is very good. As far as recommendations, I think more healthy variety in the menu is needed as well as better training and organization in the dining room.

The facility is beautiful and the grounds are really lovely. The staff are truly helpful and kind - this is really the best part - the staff are just wonderful. If I had to complain about anything - and I really don't like too- but the parking lot is very small for visitors and on a steep incline so parking is scarce and it's slippery in winter. However if you take your time, you can make it okay and of course there is parking on the street. This is not truly a complaint but something to be careful of - especially if you are older and cannot walk far or drive well :) It's truly a wonderful place - I just can't believe how great the staff are - from the front desk all the way to the health technicians and therapists and kitchen & janitorial services :)

The location is truly exceptional, with great amenities and services. The employees are outstanding, and the residents are truly amazing. The community is undergoing renovations and I’m eagerly looking forward to the upgrades!

Cogir of Vallejo Hills was the best decision we have ever made. Our apartment is beautiful and spacious. The staff are welcoming and do everything they can to make your move free from stress and pleasant. The meals are excellent and there are so many activities that there is certainly something for everyone. So if you are considering downsizing and would like to join a caring and active community, please take a tour of Cogir and meet the people who would love to have you join them.

I can’t say enough good things about Lotus and their staff. They truly care for each resident and it shows. Their quality off food is great, the views are beautiful, and they are full and busy with engaging activities. Their care truly makes you at ease. Thank you so much for all you do!

You can tell that the staff members enjoy their jobs and truly care for the residents. They are always so kind and welcoming! The building is beautiful and the residents seem to be happy. I would definitely recommend checking out The Seville if you are looking for Senior Living options.

Excellent restaurant with top notch food choices. The move in was excellent with a move in coordinator.

We were looking for a place for our mom to reside where she could be surrounded by Japanese residents and be able to communicate in Japanese. Nikkei Gardens was the best choice for her. It was, admittedly, a long distance from where we live but the staff was so good about communicating with us that we felt at ease about our decision. She enjoyed the food and the activities that were provided. We received notifications of all the activities she was attending so we didn't have to worry whether she was getting out or not. She received very good care from the staff. They went out of their way to make her, and us, feel welcome. All-in-all it was a very good choice.

For years my Mom resisted moving to assisted living. If she had she would have easily doubled her enjoyment of the years she had at Nikkei. Being an Issei she really appreciated all the food and the variety of same, She participated in many activities, made lots of friends and even met people she knew and many that she knew through others. The 5 stars is well-deserved.

Our 88 year old mom had been living on her own and declining for some time. She had a bad fall which lead us to look for a safer living situation where she would be less isolated and looked after with care. We are so lucky - and grateful - to have found Nikkei. Our mom moved in about two months ago, and we could not have had a better transition and outcome. She is so much healthier, gained much need weight and strength, and enjoying herself so much. She now has a schedule and a sense of purpose (for meals, activities, saying hello to her neighbors and team - ikigai). I joke (but am serious!) that at 88 years, she is living her best life. From the very beginning and through every encounter with every person at Nikkei, we have been so impressed by the consistent professionalism, going above and beyond, friendliness, and a feeling that everyone cares. The facilities are well looked after and the services are great. We could not recommend Nikkei Senior Gardens more highly.

My aunt has been treated with friendliness and kindness during her stay at Nikkei Senior Gardens. The staff allows her freedom to plan her day but also reminds her of activities and appointments that she may forget. Her necessary medication is monitored and administered daily. Her studio room is spacious. There are also one-bedroom units available. The Japanese-American cultural environment shows itself in activities and in meals where a choice of Eastern style or Western style cuisine is offered. The lobby is bright, clean, and welcoming. The facility is very clean and well taken care of. My aunt walks her small dog in the Japanese-style garden and among the citrus and other fruit trees in the planting garden. I highly recommend NSG if you are looking for such an environment for your loved one.

We knew as a family that Nikkei Senior Gardens was the right place for my mother as soon as we saw how happy the staff and the residents were there. They have an awesome management team, a super caring, and amazing team of nurses and caregivers. We appreciate how much they communicate with us and how well they help care for my mother. It is reassuring to know she is in good hands. She has made friends and enjoys participating in the facility's activities. The food is also really good! We had a taste of their cooking a few times and we were not disappointed.

Nikkei Senior Gardens welcomed our aunt a couple of years ago with open arms. She lived there with an outstanding staff who made sure her emotional and physical needs were met. With any issue big or small, the personable staff helped her to adapt to her new home. With excellent food, residents look forward to meal time. The Japanese food as well as other food was described as the best. When you enter Nikkei Gardens you will see framed testimonials, awards and news articles touting the wonderful and exceptional care they offer. Beautiful Japanese gardens are maintained for the residents to enjoy and peacefully stroll through. Like a breath of fresh air, Nikkei Gardens is clean and spotless. With the outstanding staff and the loving care residents receive, Nikkei is “The Place to be!”

[Name removed] always expressed to us how happy she was at Nikkei Gardens. We felt we had made a wise choice. The staff was caring and attentive. They were sure to notify us whenever there was a change in her health. During Covid the proper precautions were always maintained. [Name removed] enjoyed the many activities offered. We had no hesitation in giving it 5 stars.

Cadence is a great community. A few specific things that I'm thinking of: The pool is lovely and has a special chair to help someone get into it. Caregivers respond to family questions quickly, are very kind, and they even help my dad in memory care FaceTime with me. The independent living apartments have nice outdoor space for my mom to have plants and bird feeders.

My uncle and auntie transitioned into Nikkei in the assisted living and memory care wings respectively. We (and they) couldn’t be happier with the level of care, engagement and attentive service to their residents. The variety of activities and meals are well thought out ahead of schedule so the residents can plan accordingly. It’s a blessing and relief knowing that they are well looked after by the amazing(!!) and caring staff. Not only do they make their residents feel like family but also the families of the residents. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Excellent memory care facility. I chose it because all of the resident rooms are off one central "great room", which means no hallways or long walks, and staff can see everyone most of the time. Most residents keep their doors open. It's very welcoming, and I was reassured that staff always have eyes on the memory care residents and my Mom never felt alone.

I was very happy with Moms care in the memory center of Cadence. The meals are hard to evaluate because the memory care section needs to usually be ground or softened, but they were very good about getting the clients in the lunch room on time. I was unable to evaluate the laundry service. I came every week to 3 days to gather up her clothes to wash and bring back. Housekeeping was there every day cleaning in the morning. The place was clean in my experience. Moms bed linen was clean. They always called me if she fell or there was any other incident. She was well supervised Their billing was a little bit hard to understand, but they just went from one system to another last year. I would suggest that any new family visit weekly and get to know the care givers. This always brings about better communication.

I have an aunt and uncle that n3ede a place to retire and after many tours , we decided to have them here . It was a great experience from beginning to end. Love the staff. They treated my family like they were family and that ment a lot to me and my sisters.

If you haven't been to Andara Senior Living, you need to check out this jewel in Scottsdale. Great customer service and friendly team. They have numerous floor plans to meet all of your needs. The residents are engaged, happy and welcoming.
