We did exhaustive research before deciding on SR. Both times! It is truly one of a kind. It is absolutely beautiful! Feels like a luxury resort! The grounds, units, clubhouse, restaurants are beautiful! The dining experience is like no other facility! A five star restaurant! Residents are treated with great respect. All the time. By ALL the employees. SR goes the distance to take care of their residents. Valet services of all kinds made our parents feel cared for, at the same time, maintaining their independence. Easy maintenance, weekly cleaning, emergency call buttons in every room of their condo makes life so much easier for them! AND, the real estate transactions were so easy and straight-forward! Angela took care of us for our three transactions (two times purchasing, one time selling). She is extremely knowledgeable about SR. She was great at reading our parents and their needs. And helping us help them. She couldn't have made it easier. She took care of every little thing, seeming to know what we needed before we did. The transactions went perfectly and smoothly. Absolutely nothing to worry or fuss about! We would highly recommend Smith Ranch and its Marketing Associates!

Hi, This is Pat, I have lived in three residences so far and…read moreDrake Terrace is decidedly the best! this is mainly because the staff is really caring. You see and feel the relationship[s build between us. The attention paid to preferences and recognition and care of physical conditions. The building isn't the most modern around the edges - But that doesn't really matter, ones former home sometimes was too. However the garden is really lovely - a green and peaceful place where the birds come and drink at the fountain where we can sit with our friends and family and watch entertainment provided by the management. And the FOOD (no small matter) is good! Definitely several cuts above what one expects of an institution of this sort. All in all, by most standards. I would give Drake Terrace High marks! and I'm happy and grateful to be leaving here.

Any perceived need for change is then taken to administration to be acted upon. 7- Communication is open, which keeps residents happy and well. 8- Programs and outings are varied, with monthly signe ups if participant participation must be limited. 9- Residents come from all over and bring new experiences to share. 10- Personal ambassadors assist new resident personally. The drake Terrace population is defined by a HAPPY SMILE!!!

My sister lived here for 2 years before she recently passed. She wasn't a complainer type of…read moreperson, but she had a lot to say about this place: * Horrible food & poor dinning room staffing. * Most of her questions to staff/management/chef were not responded to. * Staff were nice when she'd ask for something... but then she'd never hear back from anyone. * No real activities available. * Minimum housecleaning, couldn't really be called "housecleaning." * No "orientation" upon arrival, so she had no idea who to go to for what. It was only through the gracious help from another resident that enabled her to start getting around the place. But still minimal response from staff & management. * When she went on Hospice, they up'ed her monthly rent by about $800. When she repeatedly asked what she was getting for the $800... no response. Finally she was informed it was for her daily phone calls to check on her. I'm sure there had to be other benefits, but really... none. I cannot recommend this place.

The residents are contented and friendly. Their Assisted Living neighborhood has continued to have deficiency-free surveys for many years. Their skilled nursing (Health Center) has been named by U.S. News & World Report as a "Best Nursing Home" for several years and they remain a five star rated (the highest) skilled nursing by Medicare and the California Department of Public Health.

From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a facility and more like a home--warm, loving, and full of compassion. The caregivers are truly special, especially Isabel and Gabby, whose kindness and dedication never went unnoticed. The Health and Wellness Director is simply amazing. Nav is exceptional at what she does, but more importantly, she leads with her heart. She took the time to truly know my dad and to understand what our family was going through. Once something was brought to her attention, she made sure it was addressed promptly and thoughtfully. Her kindness, patience, and gentle nature meant more to us than words can express. While there is room for improvement with the med techs, and the move-in process could benefit from clearer communication and better explanations upfront, the compassion and care we received outweighed those challenges. ED Pari was understanding, professional, and supportive during difficult moments. I am deeply grateful to Nav and the entire Vincent team for the love, support, and comfort you gave my mom and our family. Knowing that you were there--day and night--brought us peace during one of the most emotional times of our lives. Thank you for making such a difficult transition feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more filled with care.

She was in such bad shape that she had to be temporarily intubated and the doctors were afraid that her kidneys were going to fail, which fortunately they didn't. There are other details which I can't divulge but which may implicate this facility in a legal matter. If you value your loved one's life DO NOT SEND THEM to this facility.
