We toured it over a year ago. The fellow followed up with us and everything. It is the only one that I've ever seen that has a full-length swimming pool. I asked the guy what the people were complaining about right now, and he said the fact that the swimming pool wasn't available because they're doing some work on it. So they need to get on that bandwagon and get the pool done. The staff was terrific. We had a tour during the lunch period, and some of the people at the tables talked to us when we went by. They're very friendly. I considered going there, but the room that we were shown wasn't as friendly as some other rooms that we had seen. I think that building has probably been in existence for a long time, and things kind of looked a little rundown. They said they're in the process of changing out some of the bathtubs for showers that you just walk into.

I was very pleased with what this facility offers, what they have, and what I think I want. The staff member who gave the tour was very, very nice. She answered all my questions, and one of my daughters went with me, and she was very pleased too. And this is so convenient for my social activities that I'm involved in. I didn't try their food, but we saw what they were serving that day, and it was very good. They also have everything that I think I would need. They seemed to have all the activities that I'm interested in.

It had a wonderful cafeteria and wonderful food. They had outdoor places for their residents. They had a good member of staff. They had medical people available. The rooms were quite small. There's a small kitchen galley on the left. You've got your bathroom on the right. The kitchen was just like a bar, so there wasn't a separate room. It had a full bathroom with a shower. There was a little living room. And then there was a bedroom, which was about the size of the living room but slightly smaller with a closet and all that. Because there's a lot of activity and the whole complex is pretty big. I think most people spend their time in the dining room, living room, and other areas. There were places outside to sit. There were places near the pool to sit. I was impressed with the dining room and other activities because they had a pool, classes going on, etc. I saw a menu, and I saw people eating, and they seemed to have a good variety of healthy foods.

We are in the process of moving my dad here. What he liked best was the courtyard and just the ability to be not just inside the building, but the feeling that he had someplace to go outside to enjoy nature. It didn't feel like living in an apartment in the city or whatever. The staff who gave the tour was very energetic and very nice. We saw several rooms there. They're very spacious. Some had larger balconies, and some had smaller balconies. He ate lunch there and he said it was good. I was there, but I had to do some work while he was eating lunch with some of the residents and with the tour person. The dining area looked very pleasant, very nice, and very airy. In terms of activities, we saw that water aerobics was being done. There was also bingo, movies, and different things. There's a variety of things that would interest him.

I've toured here, it's nice. Because they have four buildings and only one area to eat, we wouldn't really know where my parents would be placed. So if they were stuck in Building 4, which is the last one, they would have to walk very far to get to the cafeteria or dining room. So it was kind of a little disappointing that each unit didn't have its own dining area, that was the only thing that was kind of a drawback. The staff who gave the tour was informative, he showed us all the different types of units and apartments that are a possibility for my parents. He was a really nice person, he let us know everything that they have going on. They mentioned that there was a little garden where some people were, and each kind of building had an area full of books, they showed them playing cards, and they showed them having classes for dancing and exercise. They also had a swimming pool that they can use. Their dining area looked good, they said there were people who will come and serve you. I didn't really see too many people out there trying to serve people, but it could have been a slow time. The dining area was big, it was a good size, and big enough for whoever needed to go down there. There'd always be space.

I toured it for my aunt. It was nice and clean. The staff member who helped me was really good at explaining things and her verbal communication was good. The residents and the staff were friendly. I saw people sitting in an open area, and they were all mingling together. I loved the one-bedroom and the studio room that I saw. If I had to pick a place for myself, it would definitely be one on my list. They had a lot of activities available like music entertainment and shopping on Fridays. They had a beauty salon, a barber shop, and a lot of other places where the residents could do things.

We toured the independent living of this facility. It's really good. We liked the way it looked and all the explanations that the lady gave us about the place. The apartments looked very clean and very nice. When we saw everything, we decided that that was the place that we want. We saw the entrance and the dining room. We saw a garden that they have where they have activities. We saw the swimming pool, the gym that they have, and we looked at the apartments. Besides the lady that was helping us, we met the person that was in charge of the place. She came in and she introduced herself. We also met the chef and the lady at the front desk in the lobby. We saw the menu, and they have a very good variety. They have a lot of choices, and they gave us some food to go. My mother-in-law is very pleased. She said the food was very good. They gave us also a dessert, which was like red velvet cake. The place looked nice. We were very pleased with what we saw. The staff members were very nice.

My mother currently has an apartment here. It's very good, they take the residents out to restaurants, to shopping centers, they have movies in house, they play bingo, and there are a lot of the normal elderly activities going on. I've eaten there several times and the food is good.

This is a place I would help my brother move into. Had everything he would need for independent living with a place to move onto when the need arrised. The only thing I did not do was taste the food. I was invited to come back.

We saw this facility, it looked pretty good, and we thought it was nice, but it's probably not our style. We saw the room, some of their recreational facilities, the dining room was nice, and the food was quite good. One room we saw was quite strange, and I think it was done for a specific person because it had two bedrooms in it. The staff was very nice.

They have a wonderful heated pool and spa, excellent for exercises and walking. Unfortunately, I can't afford a one bedroom and the studio looks too small.

My parents will be moving here. It's clean. The room is a good size for people who are downsizing. I think there is enough room for my parents. The staff members are very helpful. They answered any questions that we had. They have movies and card games. They also have a library and an exercise pool.

It was very good. We had a dinner of some dry fish, but other than that, they were more reasonable. The staff was very good. They had a library, shows, and games.

It was excellent. People were friendly and were very helpful. As a matter of fact, it was second on our list. It was good enough for us to decide for my mother to move there. The room was nice, and the facility was very good. They have a pool for water aerobics which is good because it is one of the things she really likes. The rooms all have complete kitchens or at least the one-bedroom. They have movies and different exercise classes, shuttle buses that take people shopping and to the doctors, and a facility that if you have a guest they could stay overnight in a guestroom, which they would have to rent of course. They have a Jacuzzi, exercise, and arts and crafts. They obviously have meals, and they go on excursions.

It was very nice. I had my own little apartment, and it had a huge indoor swimming pool. I stayed there because I had to leave another place while waiting for my dentures to be finished, and I couldn't go back to Calaveras County because I was not able to drive after my spine was fused. I needed to find a place, and they took me in on respite basis. They would transport me over to my dentist where I was getting my teeth made, and they were more than gracious. The staff was outstanding. I played bingo just to keep busy. I was a lot younger than anybody else, but I was just there to wait until my teeth were done. If I wanted my meal brought up to my little apartment, I could, but mostly I just went downstairs to eat with other people. The food was excellent, and there was a menu to choose from. The place was very nice. If I needed to go to my dentist, they were right there to take me. They'd put the wheelchair into the van and were very accommodating.

Redwood is good. They get little groups together, and they do different activities. The food is nutritional, and dad is on a special diet. The staff assists me and gives me all the information I need.
