Savant Senior Living

Rooms are empty except bed. They charge $450 for diapers per month.

Model Studio was larger than I expected. Convenient parking garage.

This is in a good area, close to shops and near where I work (to visit Mom after work) but am not fond of it being right next to the freeway. Noise from busy Reseda Blvd. plus from the freeway depending on which way your room is facing. Plus, only one thermostat for every 5 rooms. Looking for individual room thermostats as Mom is always cold.

A possibility

Older location, nice

My loved one lived in the community for a short time. The food was very oriental and my loved one was not used to it. The feeling they received in the community was not a family feeling or positive atmosphere. The staff was nice and they did try to help them feel a little more at home. Activities were offered as well as a beautician services for the residents who liked this.

At first we were very impressed with personal attention and overall facility. However, some billing issues and very slow service and rape to personal care needs at times and with the major change in food service times, now dinner is so early it is ridiculous, have changed our view. It is still a good value, safe, clean, and with the basic amenities, but there are definite issues.

Didn't like it. There are two separate buildings. I went to the first building and liked it, then went to the second building for memory care and the lobby was too dark and disgusting. I can say that the people were very, very nice.

Admission was not organized; ex. they notified us we needed to buy a bed 2 days, this was troublesome to arrange short-notice. We witnessed admit-documents were whited-out & reused, in front of us. Lacked hand-hygiene esp'lly communal areas. Caregivers are friendly when you approach them. Yet for a new resident, staff should be given more attn since needing to orient; mom said she would get lost & ask to toilet. We understand some "hiccups" to establish the routine would occur, but sorry to state, not like this; we are disappointed. Friend visited & felt the same.

It is a very nice facility. When I took the tour. They said that they can handle all of the needs that my loved one needed. Turns out they couldn't. They wouldn't even help them get out of bed to go eat. So they would bring food to them which cost me a fee each time they did that. For assisted living they do not have any certified nurses. They have the nurse title but don't know anything about being a nurse. They could not care for my loved ones medical needs.

Villa De Anza didn’t look like they were up to the level of care and comfort that we were looking for.

It was under construction at the time of the tour. Very old building. It had a sad feeling to it. It didn't seem like a great independent living situation.

The community seems to be a little on the worn down side. The kitchen staff walked out on the entire community, and this left the residents and management in a pinch. All the food being served to the residents in their room are loaded with sodium.

I wouldn't put my loved one here. My loved one was neglected. I feel they are using the pandemic as an excuse on the way they are treating the residents. The communication isn't what it should be with the families. If you don't love what you do, find another job. Honor you father and mother so your days will be long. We should be advocates for our loved ones, especially when they've taken care of us all our lives.

The community is usually clean. The staff is friendly. We looked at several senior living communities. We didn't like any of the places we saw until we saw Pacifica. It was homey, in a great area, and a smaller community, which we liked. Two weeks before my mother was supposed to move in, they had us switch her to memory care where the rooms were much smaller and she had to share a bathroom, which we did not like. We went and visited later after my mother moved in and saw the residents sitting and watching TV, which had very violent programming on, which is not what we felt was adequate care. We never saw any "dementia" program in place and we felt even if there was, it was not necessary as for my mother's care. We felt we were paying significantly more a month for care that was not appropriate for my mother. After we decided to move my mother out, it took a long process to get her community fee back since she was there for less than a few months. Eventually we were able to get it resolved, however, the whole thing left a sour taste in our mouths.

We were very disappointed with the Meridian staff. [Name removed] was very nice and knowledgeable about the community and the tour was fine. We scheduled to have lunch and that was a mistake. [Name removed] took us to a private dining room and said she would be back to talk to us, but she never came back. A nice man from the kitchen came in to see what we wanted to drink and we chose water and lemonade. The water was typical Riverside water (not good) and then we waited for the meal. The room was hot and we were left alone. Lunch finally came and the food was very disappointing. Dry turkey, dry stuffing and overcooked zucchini. My wife went to the kitchen and asked for gravy, and a nice lady from the kitchen brought beef gravy. The stuffing was salty and then the gravy was even more salty. I would rate that meal a 1 on a 1-10 scale. We finished the meal and then a nice man came in (can't remember his name) - he is the concierge there. We talked for a bit and then we left. We honestly couldn't wait to leave and wish we wouldn't have opted to have lunch. The other communities we have visited all have meal options and when we asked about that we were told there are no other options.This was just a bad experience and there's no way I would want my mom to live here.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my loved one. This community is just depressing and smelled really bad. The overall feeling is like a nursing home and I didn’t like it. While on the tour, we were rushed through everything. I’m sure they were knowledgeable but they didn’t give me enough time to ask questions. To me, it looked like they didn’t have enough staff. I would not recommend this facility.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Father. The building itself looked wonderful and the staff seemed very responsive. The residents all looked happy and the food looked great. However, the maintenance needed some help. There was broken wood on the railings and the handrails in the showers were just towel bars bolted to the wall. I was really concerned that if my dad moved in, he would get really hurt. I would not recommend this facility to other families.
