I visited Royal Oaks. During this visit to Royal Oaks, we began to understand what the parameters were to look for. One of the most important things that I discovered as you're going through these places, as you're seeing other residents and having some minimal interaction, in most of the places we saw, the people who live there just didn't look or sound happy. They would usually have sort of a grumpy look on their face, and they didn't seem to be happy with life. When we walked into Royal Oaks, the people who were residents there looked happy. They had smiles, they would wave at you and say, "Hello, how are you?" I feel that is something that comes from the operational management, that they interact with their residents in a manner that the residents liked being there. In almost six of the seven places we saw, the people just looked like they were an institutional statistic. The person who gave me the tour was wonderful. The units we looked at all have, at the minimum, a kitchenette, which is fine. Some of them have full kitchens. But we didn't have any of their food. The older buildings have been well-upgraded and maintained. It was a clean, pretty place.

We are presently trying out Royal Oaks. My father is doing a trial day this week. It was beautiful and very kept up, very nice, very high class, and seemed more like a resort environment. We chose a studio. It was a good fit for him because he's a single man who liked the idea of having all his meals taken care of. That was a big plus for him. We are having a meal there tonight. He liked the heated pool, the putting course, the fitness center, and some of the musical activities, or musical performances and things. I only had contact with the initial one who did our tour, she was awesome, and she's been great at working with us getting ready for the visit.

We went to the Royal Oaks over a year ago. We didn't have a meal, but we met several residents there. They were very friendly, and they seemed very happy there. The environment was very welcoming. We saw some people sitting around, and we talked with some folks that were there. We didn't see any activities. The amenities seem to be good. Their workout room (which is important to us) and the exercise room seems to be pretty good. It's good sized, and their grounds are very well maintained.

I did an in-person tour at Royal Oaks. It's beautiful. It's definitely some place I would like to consider. The staff that I met was very friendly, and the person that I toured with was fantastic. He showed me everything and answered all my questions. It's a gorgeous property, the facility is fantastic and the people there are fantastic.

We did an in-person tour of Royal Oaks. It's a nice community. Everything is up and downhill at Royal Oaks, so we have to walk just about to everything. That's the thing we didn't want to do. That's the reason why we didn't consider Royal Oaks. I think the staff was excellent. And it's more apartment than individual units, and we didn't want to be in an apartment facility. We didn't try the food because when we visited it the dining room was closed.

I visited Royal Oaks. It was a lovely place, but it was not a place I wanted to be, because I would be on an upper level in a multi-story building, and I have a dog. The apartments were absolutely beautiful. They're up against the mountains, there were many trees, everything looked lush and green, and it was all very appealing. I met a few people, but they were very pleasant, very nice, and very accommodating.

Royal Oaks was wonderful, but my mother thought it was too fancy. The apartments were small but in excellent shape. They had a refrigerator and a microwave, and some had a kitchen. They had lots of activities. We stayed there for lunch. The menu was extensive and the food was very good. The staff was wonderful. I couldn't imagine better than Royal Oaks. They had weekly meetings where they would discuss each resident, so they had the residents in mind the whole time. If my mom went in there, I would have no worries about her. I know she would be taken care of like I would take care of her.

My mother lives in Royal Oaks, and it's our favorite. The staff is top notch, all of them. Their organization is top-tier. My husband thinks the food is excellent. They have day trips on a regular basis for interesting things. They have every game and club you can think of, and many that I've never even heard of. They have a crafts room that's spectacular for sewing things and so forth, it's a nice great big space. They have a grand room where you could have your whole family come for like Christmas dinner. You could entertain around 40 people easily in a living room-dining room setting. They have a full-service gymnasium and a very convenient concierge service with a mailroom. Their maintenance people help you on the spot. Most people think that the place is too expensive and you can't afford it. Thats not true; it is an outstanding value.

I have friends in Royal Oaks Manor who are very happy and pleased with their residence there, but I didn't want to live in a building where I had to walk down a corridor and take an elevator to get out. The place is fine, it's well run and they have a nice clientele. The staff that showed me around were very confident, pleasant, and thorough.

Royal Oaks is a smaller property, so it’s built up higher so it’s very much apartment living. We were also kind put off because you have to dress for dinner. You put on nice clothes going for dinner. We kind of eliminated that for those two reasons. They have a swimming pool, organized games, and trips though. The dining area was nice, and the facility itself was beautiful. But it is also more expensive than the other facility I visited.
Provider Response
Thank you for coming to see us, Marti, it was a joy having you here, even if Royal Oaks wasn't quite what you were looking for. While we do offer a more formal dining experience during our evening meal, lunch tends to be more casual, and there are also plenty of opportunities on campus to break out your casual wear including our park, walking trail, swimming pool and fitness center. If you have any questions, or if I can provide more information on any of our programs and services, please contact me directly. Rob Salierno, Executive Director, Royal Oaks

My mother settled in Royal Oaks in Bradbury. It is the nicest. They have the nicest apartment. Plus, there is somebody there that we knew who is a guest as well. My mother is in a 1-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette.

The staff member who helped us at Royal Oaks was excellent. She was very sweet, very accommodating, and very nice. It was a very nice facility, but they did not offer individual cottages for independent living, which was what my aunt was looking for. The rooms were a little small, too.
Provider Response
Dear Maria, Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are pleased to hear our team member provided excellent service during your visit to our community. Royal Oaks does offer a variety of choices for independent living residents, everything from studios to and including cottages. There may not have been a cottage available for you to view during your visit. We are happy to talk with you and schedule a return visit that would include viewing of a cottage residence. There is a wait list for our cottages and we would be happy to discuss the process of placing your aunt's name of this interest list. Please let us know how we can be of further service.

Royal Oaks did not have any openings, and they were a little more expensive. I would move there if I could afford it. It was very nice. We had lunch in the dining room, and the food was good.

We visited Royal Oaks. It was a much larger location. They have like separate two-bedroom condos where the residents have their own garage and driveway, and also they have a little more assisted living type area. I like that they could go from being very independent to being someone requiring medical attention. The unit that I saw was a two-bedroom condominium, completely independent, and it was very spacious. They have like a game room where they have bingo, and they also have transportation to any organized activities that they have on almost a daily basis. I only met with a gentleman who was a grounds keeper, and he was very friendly and very helpful. What stood out with this place was just the fact that my mother wouldn’t have to move from one place to another if she needed more help, and she could stay in one location with people that she had gotten to know.
Provider Response
Dear Anne, We are delighted to receive your review, and were especially pleased to read your kind words about our community. It made us happy to know you appreciated the spacious, beautiful grounds, amenities and ability to have a continuum of care. We look forward to the opportunity of getting to know you and your mom. Thank you for considering Royal Oaks as your mother’s future home.

My husband and I decided to downsize to facilitate our life style and enable us to close our house/apartment and travel more frequently. We knew of several other independent living facilities, but none in the near Los Angeles area had the grounds and space that Royal Oaks has. We also met several couples whom we had not known before who had moved in and were very happy here. It has now been 9 months and we do not find even one down side to this big change in our lives! Regular and special activities, congenial people, food service, entertainment.....we could not be more satisfied with Royal Oaks.

Things I like about Royal Oaks: Friendliness of residents Multitude of activities & events - "Something for everyone." Meals adaptable for many types of diets, and surprisingly good. Helpful transportation for those of us who don't drive. Capability and prompt response of staff and maintenance for repairs, replacements, etc. Nurse office on premises. Beauty Shop on premises. Acorn Room sell toothpaste, greeting cards. Monthly weight and blood pressure checks if wanted. Interesting and talented residents who are fun to meet and be with. Residents came from many states.

My wife and I had looked at several senior residences in the past out of curiosity. Her mother had been a resident in another one prior to her death. My wife had worked as a volunteer there for several years and was familiar with what they offered and generally if there was a homey, family atmosphere rather than an institutional aura about them. Finally, after several falls, stays in the hospital and visible concern of our daughter we decided that we really weren’t ‘too young’ after all, and to ‘get real’ and look around again. We visited three different places in the area, all of which were lovely. Of these three, Royal Oaks was the one that impressed us the most. There were a number of reasons that we were drawn to Royal Oaks. First of all the general overall beauty of the well-maintained grounds and a feeling of home and safety one senses when entering the property. We were shown a number of available apartments. While all were very attractive and seemed acceptable for occupancy, the sales person explained that they could be modified to some extent, based on the desires of the potential new resident. The person at the front desk was so capable, friendly and genuine. He made us feel at home and that he really liked people. There was an impressive lobby, great room and dining room. One could greet and entertain guests there with no misgivings. They feature marvelous holiday brunches fit for a king. There is a wonderful staff at every position, from management through service and mechanical positions. All are competent, polite, cheerful and desiring to ‘do a good job’. Royal Oaks is very well maintained. It is cleaned regularly and is spotless in all the public areas. The other residents are what one would hope them to be and would select as neighbors if that was even possible.. Finally, but most certainly not the least important, is that skilled nursing and assisted living accommodations are available on the grounds. If one’s loved one becomes infirm, the other person rapidly recognizes what a wonderful benefit it is. There are other excellent qualities. Come see for yourself. It can’t hurt and you might be grateful that you did! You may even be invited to lunch.

I give Royal Oaks an A+ for their annual "Celebrate America" held this year July 3rd. Red, white and blue balloons and flags decorated tables, planters, walls and walkways. All staff and residents were dressed in patriotic attire. The event started at 4:30 with a delicious BBQ buffet. At 6:30 the fun really began under the oaks. As the resitdents and guests sipped root beer floats, they were entertained by a young gypsy jazz group. A great evening was enjoyed by all.

Approach this organization with great care. Extraordinarily expensive and "surprises" crop up regularly. Contracts require enormous "up-front" buy-ins and once the resident is located, tremendous pressure is put on the resident to "submit" to a different contract with different terms that are much more favourable to the facility. The resident is essentially forced to "sign on the NEW dotted line" or "move out in 24 days." My mother regretted her decision to enter "Ponzi Oaks" until they day she died. be.group = be.careful.

I'm from Georgia before, and I'm glad to find a facility in California. It's near my loved ones. They have a nice scenery and amazing backyard. The facility is nice and they have a big beautiful garden. They have a swimming pool and a big gym so that all the residents can still enjoy their daily lives in the community. All the people and staff from Royal Oaks are really caring. They are exceptionally very friendly and great! I would highly recommend this beautiful place to live.

I would have to say that this is the best facility that I have ever visited in my caregiving career. The staff were very friendly and attentive to the clients, yet gave them the needed space to still classify it as independent living. The view was amazing. They provided a garden for their clients to care for plants and to grow flowers, and the stream flowing behind the facility made a great water-flowing noise in the evening that my client said "gave her the best sleep ever."

I have now spent 7 years now in "Seventh Heaven" here at Royal Oaks where all of my needs are beautifully taken care of by well-trained, caring staff in an aesthetically pleasing environment among friendly, stimulating fellow residents. Activity choices are varied and voluntary. Meal hours are flexible with a wide choice of appealing menu items and dining companions. What more could anyone ask?

Not ready -- too young -- but circumstances convinced me it was time to bite the bullet and take the first step toward my Third Act in life. I've lived at Royal Oaks just a year, and have never had a moment of regret. Beautiful campus, wonderful apartment, stress-free environment, stimulating intellectual and physical opportunities, caring and sensitive staff -- WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?

I am a former volunteer of 23 years in the Be.Group formerly SCPH and I have great respect for the Headquarters group and for our staff at this facility. Both my wife and i have been in Skilled Nurseing for recoveer from surgery. The care of the staff is magnificent. We hae a plan that includes 1 meal a day and the dining room and food served there is great, both in quality and in healthy nourishment.
