Savant Senior Living

very nice. a lot like the Paso location. location for dad to have to go smoke a concern but overall very nice has small man made lake and lots of activities.

We had a nice tour at Villa de Anza. There weren’t as many options available regarding types of rooms. But the admissions person was really friendly and helpful.

I toured this facility while I was looking for a place for my loved one. Brookdale has two locations in the area and I prefer the other one. This community has a beautiful balcony but it’s not landscaped at all. The staff member who gave me the tour was fairly young and they tried very hard but they didn’t know much. They didn’t reach out to me after the tour to guide me through paperwork. The building itself didn’t seem as safe and the residents would just walk around outside. It needs to be more secure

I toured here when I was looking for a place for my dad and as far as the tour is concerned, it was amazing. The girl that did the tour gave us so much information that I didn’t even think to ask, she was just wonderful. We chose not to go with them for a couple of different reasons, though. They asked us to stay for lunch, which I thought was nice, but the menu only had 1 choice and my dad didn’t like the food. The area didn’t feel comfortable, especially at night and if I were to visit by myself. The common area felt older and worn and not quite kept up with, it felt a little outdated. The facility really needs some tender loving care and needs a bit of an upgrade. My dad even noticed and said something about it and he’s 80. However, the facility was very clean and the people were extremely nice.

I have no complaints of how things had went during my tour of this community. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions we had for them. They had a nice floor plan that was open and easy to navigate through for the residents. I would recommend it to anyone interested it was just not the right location for us in the end decision.

I liked the open floor plan as well as all of the great amenities they had for the residents. It was just not the right location for us int he end decision but I would recommend it to anyone interested.

I did not tour Meridian of Riverside, I just drove by it but when I got a look at it, it did not have curve appeal at all. It was a huge old building that looked like an old skilled nursing center with multiple levels. It looked scary and I would never put my mother there.

Nice grounds and good food

Lupe incredible. Sam nice in emails. clean attentive. great location. not stylish enough? price perfect

It seems like they're short staffed. That's the main issue my mom has. It takes a while for her to get a response when she presses her pendant. You can wait 8-10 minutes for someone to show up. The care services appear to be okay. The other problem is the bathroom - the shower is a bathtub. It's not large enough. Those seem like small things but they really make a difference. It seem like they have enough activities but she doesn't have a lot of interaction with a lot of people so she's not really motivated to go. They have bingo - I think she's gone once. It's seem like if they had more caregivers or if the pendant worked better. she liked her room she like the accommodations except for the shower situation. it's not very wide. I think she likes the community.

For retirement I think I would give them a 3.5 or 4, for people who are pretty active but for someone who needs more care, like my mother and there are a ton of people there that do, I would have to rate it at the low end. It's a retirement community but more than half the people there seem like they should be in assisted living or a nursing home. It didn't work for my mom because she needed more care and it was going to cost way too much to add that on. The people there are very positive, particularly the people that work in the office. My mom would stay in her room a lot and when she would come out she would be smiling so they though she was adjusting really well. Really she was very sad and depressed and they had no clue.

The people are very nice and caring at the facility. When they don't forget the schedule or to bring items their care is good. I feel if I'm paying for a service to look after my father I shouldn't have to remind them to give him his medication. They have lots of activities for the residence, but at times they tend to lock them down as punishment or send them to the rooms if they're having special events. Their dining situation is a challenge because they've undergone new management and drastically increased pricing because that is their main focus instead of taking care of repairs and cleanliness which is what needs to be done. It seems now they're only doing leaks and things of that nature because individuals from the city and inspectors have come onto the property.

The staff is amazing! They are extremely helpful, friendly, but sometimes they do need to pay a little more attention to detail. Things tend to not get done as quickly as they should. The facility is very nice. The price is exactly right for what you are getting - you are not getting top notch. It is not the most amazing place, but it is a very nice facility.

They are having quite a few staffing issues, and continue to keep changing weekly or every two to three weeks. They need more staff that stays on board and would be better for the residents. The food is sometimes good but at other times is not. Consistency is not great in the kitchen.

beware of promises that aren't kept. this community could improve on several things.

We had a good tour at Villa de Anza. I liked that they had a very large dining room. And the gentleman who gave us the tour seemed to be up-to-date on all of his information. But it was just too far away from where we live.

The staff here were good and the level of care of the staff were great but overall cleanliness was lower than what we expected.

The food is terrible. They just have really inexpensive cheeses, and they'll serve cheese dishes three days in a row. The housekeepers are friendly and nice though. Really it was the Santa Monica weather and the cost that got me to move in here. I got one of the bigger units, so I'm really happy with it. They do offer activities here, although I haven't participated in much.

You get what you pay for here. The administration makes up for the poor quality of staff. There were multiple times that my loved one didn't get the care they deserve.

The convenience is a plus, as well as the value for the cost.
