Spectrum Retirement

Loved the plant nursery overlooking the pool. This was the fifth assisted living facility we toured in the week and Palos verdes is worth a second look. It provides for two person lifts and has a hoyer lift. Got to sit in on one of their entertainment shows for residents

[name removed] is priceless to this community. Always with a Smile on her face and enthusiastic to welcome anyone and everyone to join in activities. [name removed] goes above and beyond to help those with memory loss to make sure they do not miss activities. I feel blessed that my mother is included in activities with the help of sweet [name removed]

I like the space, the activities, and the overall cleanliness. Many residents, however, have expressed concerns about the quality of the food. The employees themselves are great and very caring. Unfortunately, the administrative front office is disappointing, with slow response times and a lack of follow-through. Overall, the main issue is the front office—once you sign on the dotted line, the follow-through tends to be poor.

I'm afraid I'm a bit overwhelmed at this time and unable to devote the time to a proper review. I enjoyed seeing all the amenities. thank you.

Building was warm, lighting was dim and non active residents, however, [name removed] was amazing. Price point was wonderful. Apartments had a wide range of options. We were disappointed to learn that a resident would have to relocate if they needed additional levels of care.

Knowledgeable staff, tried to understand where we were in the process and catered the tour to that. Clean facility Alot of amenities Freindly staff Sent follow up info quickly Informative.

We toured recently. Rooms were beautifully remodeled. The property is in the process of thoughtfully completely remodling every room before a new resident. The food was lovingly prepared and delicious. I liked that the activities are centrally located on one floor. The view to the west is fantastic. Medium sized spaces in many areas for social activities. Searching for mom this ranks high on our choices.

Overall, most of the caretakers are friendly, prompt and caring. There is one person whom I feel is not too responsive but other than her, everyone is pretty good.

Everything about this independent/assisting living was excellent. The restaurant was extremely nice and had many options for dining hours. And a variety of food selections. The rooms were beautiful and had a nice choice of floor plans. Very updated decor. The outdoor space was wonderful, with a nice patio to eat out and a beautiful view. There were several game rooms which were being utilized by many. A very nice library. My sister felt it may be a bit large for her, so we are still deciding. There is quite a waitlist, so that is not a problem. Our tour guide was very accommodating and gave a great tour.

The afternoon entertainment was wonderful. The first group was classical and they is my favorite type of music so I truly enjoyed it. The second set was the saxophone Quartet and they have been here several times, but they never get old and they are very enjoyable.

The room size was very good Nice view from his room Food seamed good he did not complain. Friendly table mates It did have a long hallway walk his room was very near the end! They had quite a selection of things to do Amazing he enjoyed the bingo ! 10cents a card ! Movies Nice pt gym, centrally located. Friendly staff. Important.

The room was great and bright and airy. Staff were fabulous professional and caring. My only complaint was the meals. They were mostly spicy and ethnic foods unsuitable for elderly palates and there was no options for the residents to select from. Hope this helps.

Security at the front door can be improved. The room cleaning was average at best. Possibly more activities for more at risk seniors. . In general, I would recommend the facility. Its beautiful. The rooms are very large. Beautiful location. Good good menu.

All of the staff were very personable and caring. We had looked at a few other facilities and what drew us to Adventura was the homey feel, the friendliness of staff and residents alike. We felt the smaller size would be less intimidating to my mom. She was happy there.

Most of the residents are as friendly as the staff. Dad really likes the food. There are lots of communal areas to gather in. There are lots of fireplaces!

[name removed] at the front desk is absolutely wonderful. My Mom loves the activities director and the art activities! Can't seem to keep kitchen staff, seem to be short staffed.

Very comfortable but the price of the building is not worth the services and they charge too much and the food isn’t very good but the employees are friends and nice and the care service is a 4/5 and that is the review

My mom has been at The Oaks in Algonquin for the last month. Both mom and I have found the staff very kind and caring. The administrative staff we have met with are very knowledgeable and supportive. Mom enjoys the variety of foods at the lovely restaurants. She has even started creating great art projects with the hard working creative director. The biggest concern for any daughter is that your mom is being cared for with kindness and compassion. The Oaks really delivers on this front. It is a beautiful place to live and be looked after when you need extra support. Thank you to the lovely staff for taking care of her in such a nurturing way.

They had a big staff change in memory care dept a week after we moved in. Positions were not filled promptly Communication is poor. Maint dept not responsive New people joining staff now Hopefully improvements ahead

We give Palos Verde an overall 4. The facility is beautiful and well kept. The staff was very caring. In our situation most of the family was out of state with one member local. Those of us out of state initially struggled to communicate with staff when we left phone messages. We did find questions and issues were better addressed with email communication. Mom did have very limited mobility and energy when she moved into the community and did not partake many of the activities. But the staff certainly tried to get her involved.
