"I toured El Cerrito Royale. The staff is very friendly and consistent. I've been there a couple of times before, so I recognize the staff from previous visits. The director has been there for more than 30 years. The place is upscale and nicely decora..."

"I thought Merrill Gardens at Lafayette was very welcoming and very nice. It seemed like it would be also a fit. However, there was limited availability for space, and the only thing they had available was a shared unit. Nevertheless, I would recommen..."
