"I love Monaco Apartments and its management. The apartments are clean and really large. It's like a home, not like an old folks' home. The people there don't feel like they're institutionalized. My mom has almost a 100-square-foot apartment with one ..."

"Palm Island was very good. I really liked the place. They have a lot to offer for the seniors. The staff was very nice. I really like it, but my mom has mental problems, and so it isn't going to work. They have a nice pool and a nice fitness room. Ev..."

"What I like about Whispering Fountains is the independence. They do not tell you what to do or when to do it. They have a bus that comes by every Tuesday and takes us shopping. I am really very pleased that I found this place. The apartment I am in h..."

"Hillside Senior Living was fine. It was clean and nice. I was not able to see a room at that time because they didn't have one available. I just met one person, and she was fine. She seemed good. I think she's a nurse...."

"We've toured Seasons Senior Apartments at San Juan Capistrano. It's refreshingly clean and new. The layout is very convenient for seniors such as me, I'm 80. We haven't moved in yet, so I have no relationship with the staff but the leasing office, ha..."

"Villa Magnolia was very clean. My first impression is that there were too many mobile homes in there for me; it was over 200. The grounds were very well kept. All you can see is the front of the mobile home, and they all looked very nice and well kep..."

"I’ve been at New Horizon Village a couple of weeks. I like the place very much. Everything has been first class for me. I pay $895 a month here and it’s affordable for me. I find everyone is very courteous, very congenial and very cordial. I’m deligh..."

"I visited Overture Riverwalk 55+ Apartment Homes and I liked it a lot. I wish it were a little closer and Orange County would be better, but I really liked it. I spoke to somebody a couple of days ago and I think there is one or two coming available ..."

"Laguna Woods Village is a very large community, with 20,000 residents. There are amenities and about 300 clubs, and there are all kinds of events taking place all the time. I have a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit, and it's beautiful. I enjoy sitting on my po..."

"Having just moved in a month ago here are my initial impressions and experiences. Having visited several other complexes I was pleased with the condition of the lobby, hallways and elevators. They all were clean, well kept and smelled fresh unlike..."

"I went to FountainGlen Laguna Niguel. They do not include meals, so you're on your own as far as cooking and doing everything yourself. We're pretty active seniors, so we really don't need all the amenities that the other place has as far as the food..."
