This is a top notch place! We are very pleases with Cherry wood!

Hello [name removed], +We had a wonderful tour of CherryWood Village, and were very impressed with the facilities. A really lovely retirement community. Now we have to compare it to Miramont Pointe, which we are visiting this coming Friday. Your colleague, [name removed] ( hope I have the right name) told us when we met with her that she thought Miramont Pointe would be great for us....So we'll see..... So that's where we're at with our search so far. We still need to make an appt. for a tour with [removed]. I'lll make those appts. for next week or the week after. Best , [name removed]

Very friendly and fast paced atmosphere. Good organization and the administration covers all the bases. Great cottages for independent living and clean, tasteful decorated main building for residents. Very good first impression and would schedule another

brand new facility...beautiful apartments and amenities......the rent is higher here but the care they provide that is included in the rent makes it well worth it. We are leaning towrad selecting this one. Haven't made a final decision yet....it's really up to MOM :)

My Brother-In-Law seems to be doing very well at this facility. What I really like is they seemed to be very well-staffed and they are professional. For activities they have things like bus trips, an in-house movie theater, and craft classes. When I went to visit him, I saw a bunch of the ladies sitting at a table, helping staff fold laundry. I would recommend this facility to other families.

My husband and I live here currently and it’s fantastic. We really couldn’t be in a better place. Everyone is so friendly (even the janitors say hello to you) and the salt water pool and all of the facilities are fantastic. We have a beautiful theater and all kinds of entertainment and clubs - you could be going all day. The food is great and it’s an open menu. They have select things that they offer as specials every day but if you don’t like those options than you can choose something else. Everything is included, that’s the best part for us, and you don’t pay for the second person. The staff is wonderful. I’ve been praying for a long time for the right place and I just can’t believe that I haven’t found a negative thing about it yet. They even let us have our dog, which is the most important part for us. And there’s a dog park! We have a washer and dryer, TV, telephone, gas, electric, transportation, and it’s just all included in the one monthly fee. Someone can help you sort out your pills and it’s not an extra price. We really like that it’s a family run place. It’s not a corporation like the other facilities around. The owner even has an apartment on the top floor for when he comes to visit. There’s a second facility right next door and all together they offer all different types of care for whatever transition in life you’re in. I would absolutely recommend them.

This February will mark my 2 year anniversary as a Resident at Carmel Village. I look forward to happy hour every Friday at 3pm. I love inviting my 4 year old grand-daughter to come enjoy the live entertainment. It’s something we look forward to every week.

I’ve lived here for over a year now. The residents are so nice and the Staff is excellent. It’s a nice environment to live in. The new chef is wonderful.

Best thing is cleanliness . You would think the walls would all be banged up, but it's not. Food is exceptional, chicken dishes are the best. Always hot. Plus, I asked for them to start having whole milk, and they made sure we had it. Funny how the waitresses say asparagus and chicken Kiev. They need to visit some fancy restaurants sometimes so they can read the specials correct. The one thing they could work on is the laundry, but I am learning the ropes here too.

My mother lives in Paradise Village, and I really like that the community is so friendly and welcoming. It’s just great! The staff is friendly and accommodating, the community is clean, and they have lots of activities like church, Bingo, Crafts, outings; they even have a library and a salt water pool, which I’m a little jealous of. I was also surprised by how good the food is. Paradise Village really is a great community, and I would recommend it to others.

This is a good community for mom The staff are caring and attentive. The community is clean. The menu is outstanding. The activities are helpful. We talked with a few of the residents and they seem to be happy with the care and that made us know that mom would like the care of living here. We do recommend this community highly.

We like this community for the good care. Everyone is very nice and helpful. The staff helpful. The community is clean and very nice at all times. The menu is appealing and a lot to choose from. We have liked the meals that we have been able to have with her. I like knowing that she is active with the activities that are offered.

this place has a lot to offer and appreciated their educational approach for guests. We did not like the fee setup so think [Removed] prefers the idea of Orchard Park but Carmel Village is a contender

My parents are both currently living in this community and I can't say enough great things about the staff and the quality of care they have provided them. They are absolutely excellent to them both and are always so caring in there work. I liked that the effort is unforced and they are all very well trained. All of the nurses and the administrative team have made sure to keep in good contact with me about all of there care as well as answer any questions I have for them. Overall I am very pleased with the experience and am thankful for the staff they have.

Very fancy, nice, friendly staff. Too rich for my families taste.

I can't say enough about how wonderful they have been to my mother. My mom took a fall and broke her hip and they have even come to visit her while she has been in rehab. This is such a friendly and healthy environment for my mother. All of the staff are caring and encourage her to take part in the different activities, they bring her to the main floor to be with the other residents. I know my mom is comfortable and safe in the memory unit and I would definitely recommend them, in fact, I wouldn't mind coming here when it's my turn for care.

Our tour of Parkview at Paradise Village was conducted by [Removed], and was very well received. We were very impressed overall with [Removed] and the Parkview staff, available services and housing. We believe Parkview will be the "perfect home for our loved one," and are proceeding with the process. Thank you so much for your informative tour and support of our loved one!

My mom likes living in a safe place and her room is nice and bright. She has met some interesting people. The meals are like institutional food, she is not too impressed. But we are very happy with the community and we feel good about them. The staff are knowledgeable and paying a lot of attention to her. This community was the winner by location.

I selected Paradise Village from a list of about 10 venues supplied to me by the broker at A Place for Mom. Initially, this was at the higher end of our budget but I still considered it as it came with high recommendations from the broker. After numerous phone calls and email contact with the sales admin staff, and an initial tour, my search stopped immediately and I decided on Paradise Village. Personally, I have never seen anything like Paradise Village and I am a bit sad, that I couldn't find a place similar to this for my father. As I write this, my mother has lived there for not quite one week (in Cedars Assisted Living). She is already somewhat integrated into the lifestyle there, though I am fully aware that this is a big step for everybody involved and adjustment will take time. She has a friendship suite which is something like a condo. She shares a living area and kitchen with one other lady but has her own master bedroom type home with walk in wardrobes and en suite. The room is spacious, all of her furniture from home fit nicely, the maintenance crew helped hang her numerous photos on the wall, all of her clothes are in the wardrobe, the bathroom is giant and safe. The carpet is new and the room has been fully newly painted since the last person moved out. Everybody, and I truly mean everybody, at Paradise Village is friendly, polite, well mannered, has experience speaking to the elderly, enunciates and is on time. All residences wear an alarm type necklace if they need any sort of help, even as simple as getting a book off a high shelf. Almost immediately, a care worker arrives to help them. The entire venue is like a resort. It is open, light and airy, it smells good and clean, there is sun and life. The meals are exceptionally good – in fact, I eat almost all of my meals there with my mother. There are specials every lunch and dinner, but if you do not want them you can order off an entire menu like in a restaurant. You can have half portions, mix things from different selections. I have noticed that the wait staff know all of the people's names and remember what they like so prompt them if they would like something with their meal that they forgot to order. Outside of dining hours they offer a 24/7 bistro type area with coffee cold drinks, juices, tea, and a fridge stocked with fresh sandwiches and fruit. There are about five things to do every day, besides the dining hours, if you feel like activities. So far, my mother has only played bingo – which is surprisingly a lot of fun! – and watched a couple of movies. There are movies every night! I could go on and on but I guess my take-home message would be: the owners and managers of this business are a family business and they do treat this business like a home and like family. You can see that that is very important to them. To allow the elderly to live, and not just exist.

I live in one of the new cottages they built last year behind the large facility. I have my own garage, 1245 sq feet, 2 bedrooms, 30 meals a month, 2 full baths with walk-in shower, my own washer and dryer inside, once a week housekeeping, a full kitchen (stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and island with place for stools) and my own private patio. I only pay rent, and if I add additional features to my TV or add a house phone, I pay for those, otherwise I do not pay for power, trash pickup, water or Gardner. I LOVE it. They are all very nice around here. I chose this place after visiting 12 other facilities, 4 in Bakersfield, 6 in Fresno and 2 in the Bay Area where I was living the last 30 years.
