Purpose of my visit: Celebration of Life of my high school PE teacher in the Fireside Room. It was a nice gathering of former students from Oakland Tech and Oakland High, friends and family of Marvelous Marva Nielsen aka Mrs. E. Although I did not take a tour of this gated community, and it is well-maintained, the area seems to be a peaceful one. Marva was the "longest serving golf marshall, serving about 14 years" in that capacity. She took care of the golfers and the golf courses. I know she will be missed by the people who live in this community.

Tiffany Court is a wonderful place, and it gave our family great peace of mind knowing she was so well cared for. What makes Tiffany Court special is how genuinely the residents are treated like family. Patti does an incredible job staying closely involved with every resident and keeping family members informed and updated. Her dedication and compassion are remarkable. The staff is outstanding. Enrique always went out of his way to accommodate our family member's many special food requests with kindness and patience. Marie, although she works in the business office, consistently went above and beyond to help and support our family member as well. We are deeply grateful to the entire Tiffany Court team for the care, compassion, and support they provided over the years.

I can't say enough great things about The Heritage Downtown. I helped my aunt move there nearly six…read moreyears ago and she really could not be happier. The entire staff is super friendly and attentive, and as others on Yelp! have noted, the facility and grounds are beautiful and meticulously cared for. My aunt has a sunny top-floor apartment that is large and has mountain views. Other apartments we toured had patios with lovely garden views or other amenities. When we toured independent living communities what struck us most is how institutional so many feel. Not The Heritage. All of the common areas are beautifully furnished/carpeted or landscaped and, as my aunt loves that the restaurant uses real tablecloths and cloth napkins (she also really appreciates that Newton's, the restaurant, has set dining hours, which means there are always lots of people sit with and talk to). Lastly, as the relative who lives closest and helps manage her affairs, the front desk staff have been excellent at letting me know when my aunt has required medical assistance or if there's a matter they think I might be able to assist her with. She's recently begun to need some regular in-home assistance and the management team has a home care provider they contract with and have been very helpful getting the right level of assistance set up. Bottom line: The Heritage has consistently offered five-star service and accommodation for the six years my aunt has lived there.

Our grounds are lovely - there are multiple windows in every public room. There are many models to choose from - all well equipped, with a wide range of prices. We are part of the Rossmoor senior living community, so there are over 200 clubs, golf courses, movies, and top notch entertainment.

Monique the Executive Director, and her crew including a nurse and team of CNA's and helpers, a friendly receptionist, a great maintenance staff, and a special note to the chef who brought a series of her pies over the course of our several visits for us to take home, lol, have worked with us to ensure Dad's experience is a positive one. Plenty of activities, a kitchen open to special requests and with a menu that rivals many regular restaurants in the area, walking paths around the building, and a location within an easy walk to a shopping center (esp good for outings). Highly recommend!
