VALENCIA COMMONS

My mother likes Valencia Commons. It's beautiful, it's been fixed up really nicely, it has a nice view, and it's modern. They could sign us up to get the vaccine at their facility if we wanted. They were really personable. The apartments were really beautiful. It was a little more on the pricy side, but it was nice, and they treated us very well. They did what they could to get us in there. If we were going to find a place, that's the place mom says she wanted to go back to. We had a good lunch. They fed us turkey with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and some cherry cake, and it was good. They had a beauty salon and all the different places, and they take everybody to outings and things like that.

My mother has been living at Valencia Commons for a year. She is in independent living but she gets minor assistance. The people who run the place, Stuart and Gary, are very helpful. All the caregivers are wonderful. The food is good. She loves it there. She has help with her apartment in cleaning and doing some laundry. Everybody is really nice and very helpful. My mom has an apartment with an efficiency kitchen, one bedroom, one bath, and a balcony. They have lots of other options like studios, 2-bedrooms, and all kinds of apartment. They're fed three times a day and there's always snacks, coffee, and juice. They have a movie usually once a day, and they serve popcorn. They have beanbag baseball which my mom participates in. They also have Bingo, and excursions if you want to go.

Valencia Commons was very clean and not smelly. They offer meals, there's housekeeping, linen services, they have someone there to care for you 24/7 if you need it, there's a security alert, and a button or pull cord in the room. There are physical, mental, and social activities, and they have transportation to doctors and other scheduled appointments.
