Nicole is a pleasure to work with! Always available to talk and answer questions. The residents are very friendly and have helped my mother with this new arrangement. Mom has some memory problems and was resistant to moving. Dad is enjoying Quail Lo quite a bit. read more

The staff is very friendly, caring, and responsive. The food and menu could improve in quality and variety. Rating 4 stars

Jorge Figueroa (General Manager) is awesome to work with. He's very reactive, responsive, professional, and personable. Always willing to help, listen, and make things happen especially when it mattered most for my mother. I wish more people had his mindset and willingness. He's a great asset to have at Quail Lodge. Jack of all trades in my humble opinion. read more

Great place to work and live! The food is amazing and the people are great company. Make sure to stop by and check them out!

My family has had a wonderful experience with Quail Lodge. My mother in law has been there for a year. She has made friends, loves bingo time, and loves her cozy and warm apartment. She is so happy to have her pet dog with her as well. Having meals prepared and house keeping once a week has greatly reduced her stress. She is proud to have anyone visit her apartment. Management has been superb. We were called immediately when she had to go to the emergency room. They took time to encourage her to use the shuttle service to go to Kaiser, which is only 5 minutes away. Office staff truly cares and is happy to discuss any concerns or observations that help the family know how loved ones are doing. We go often to take her to yummy breakfast and lunch places nearby as well as plenty of shops to visit. This is a hidden gem and we are very pleased. read more

My Mother is now living at Quail Lodge, Antioch, Ca. This retirement community was beyond our expectations. The staff, Susan, Mikki, Kay, Mike and the team are professional, caring and provide an outstanding environment for my Mom to live in. The facility is beautiful, clean decorated and the staff provide activities which help keep the residents engaged and happy. It is an amazing place and we are thrilled that my Mom loves it and the staff. read more

Update: I've finally been paid three months after my group performed at Quail Lodge. Apparently they had some managerial turnover and the check fell through the cracks. They said this won't happen again, so we look forward to returning for another performance. read more

I toured this place with my mother approximately 1.5 years ago with Miranda and a couple that were managing this place which neither are no longer employed there. We met with Susan Allen and all's we can say is we love her!! She's amazing!! On my Mom's first day during dining hours Susan accompanied my Mom to several different tables to get familiar with some of the residents, I thought that was so sweet of her! We needed some assistance in my Mom's unit upon moving in, she not only was very accommodating with our request but she was helping me carry up some of my Mom's belongings! When I see Susan at the Lodge I see this girl works hard to make sure the residents are happy, she truly cares about her residents. She is a very knowledgeable and sweet lady, Quail Lodge is lucky to have her. I hope they recognize her value and treat her as the treasure she is! Actually let me say all the workers there are great, all sweet and accommodating. My Mom has been so scared to make the move but it's a move I knew would be life changing and uplifting for her and it's been exactly that! So far so good, she loves living there. My mom was becoming lonely and depressed living on her own, so many of her friends were preoccupied with the passing of their husbands and I think with the loneliness she was declining. She's all over the place now, happy, cheerful and always on the go and enjoying all that goes on at Quail Lodge and they do work hard to keep their residents busy. She's renewed and I am so happy for her, it just tickles me to see her smile so much and getting out with the ladies there and just enjoying her life like she should be. What's really nice is my Mom's is weening herself off her antidepressant and is doing great! My Mom use to live in a three story condo complex and safety was always a big worry to her as well. She feels so safe there at the Lodge. The Lodge has a walking path that goes around the perimeter of the building that's well lite, she likes to take walks around it for exercise, they have such well maintained beautiful grounds. I like the front of the building, the porch with all the pretty padded rocking chairs and tables that look out over the pretty landscape and foliage, it looks so inviting, a feature that drew my Mom in as well. It's nice when entering the building to see the residence enjoying it as well. Looks so calming and tranquil. My Mom is a food critic as well and I can honestly say she loves the food there, they have very good chef's. It's restaurant style, there's a menu for each week so you know what to expect and an alternate menu in case you don't want what they are serving for the day. Every once in a while they will serve something not so great like the pizza bread for example but they have so many other alternate options on the menu you can choose from instead. I enjoy having meals there as well. So..... so far so good! Update: Mom still loves Quail Lodge, the staff, activities and menu but just keep in mind the rent goes up a substantial $100.00 a year with no fail. This is an important factor to consider especially when buying down your rent and on a fixed income. Kelli Dahlund read more

Beyond our expectations! We moved my grandmother here at 93 from Livermore to be closer to us. This facility was clean, bright, manicured landscaping, decorated and with the hallway music, a very pleasant place to be. From the administration to the dining room, everyone is so great! The residents are so nice, interesting and genuinely enjoy living here. I love all the activities to keep them busy. The food is good with many choices. The staff has been so welcoming and accommodating! read more

So impressed with this place. They have gone above and beyond for my grandmother. Each person there is so welcoming and committed to the residents. If anyone is on the fence about this place, I would strongly encourage them to to visit. The compassion and care (especially during these trying times in life with COVID-19) is outstanding. Thank you for all you do. read more

All you have to do is open in the front doors and begin your journey into a warm and caring home for seniors. You can be as active as you want to be with fun activities arranged by Sara the activities director or as solitary as you wish walking the grounds and seeing rabbits, turkeys, humming birds and yes quail as well. The food is excellent with tons of choices and a serving crew that is young, happy and willing to do anything to make your meals what you personally like/need. Want a balcony? Want washer/dryers? Want windows with lots of sunlight? Want a happy place, filled with laughter and a sense of caring? Then come to Quail Lodge --- and you will feel right at home. read more

My mother and step-father recently moved into this residence. The staff has been very helpful, and even put laminate flooring in at my mother's requests, in place of linoleum and carpeting. My mother has been told by numerous residents that this is one of the better retirement residences. The breakfast and noon meal are the better, and very tasty. The supper at 5pm is ok, bt they do have additional choices that you can have. Most of the residents have walkers and scooters, so you have to be prepared for that. read more

My parents have lived here for about a year and a half. Has it been perfect? No. But does it address many needs if you have the right expectations, yes. The staff is generally very helpful and accomodating, although you do have to prod Housekeeping a bit to do stuff. The place is clean, orderly, with an active activity schedule. People who live her can choose to participate and engage in community activities or withdraw. Usually the ones with the smiles on their faces who take the time to talk to people and do the activities are the happiest. The Activities Director Jennifer is very good and very enthusiastic about her job. There are ample opportunities to go out to restaurants or on mini-field trips. As regards the food - Is it gourmet? No. But it is an incredibly tough group to cook for. Someone will complain about something at all times. You cannot get too innovative because many will not like that. I have eaten many meals there as a guest. While it is not something I would go to a restaurant for, it is definitely fine for everyday. Residents who are more mobile can supplement this with trips to restaurants or order delivery too. This place is very much what you make it. Yes, there were things I would change if I were in charge but on the whole, I think they create a comfortable, relaxing environment for seniors. read more

I absolutely love this residence! I moved my mom here about four months ago and this was the best move we could have made for her. We checked into a few other facilities in the area and they were just way over priced for what they were. I was quoted over 3k for just a studio. Seems that is about the average price. My mom is in a one bedroom apartment for well under 3k and they even froze her rent for two years. Most importantly, they didn't feel as lively and homey as this place. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked into the building. The staff was so helpful and friendly. They really went above and beyond for her. My mom immediately felt at home. She has benefited so much from all of the actIvities and all of the friends she has made. When my father passed away, she became very isolated and depressed. She is a brand new person today and our whole family thanks Quail Lodge. I have eaten here several times now and the food is actually pretty good! I was expecting more cafeteria style but it's actually more like a restaurant. They have many different selections on the menu and so far so good! I don't know what the negative reviews are about? I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I moved my mother here and June. Although it took a while to ajust to moving here from her home of some 40 years, she loves it here. She has friends and activities to do and she doesn't have to cook. I am glad that she is close, safe and happt. read more

Quail Lodge is a fabulous place! We had a wonderful experience working with the staff there, and the facilities are also nice and clean. There is a nice outdoor space and my dad was able to bring his dog. They are very dog friendly and even have a small dog park on the premises. All the residents we saw there were truly happy to be there, and they were friendly and familiar with the staff. The staff seem to really care about the residents on a personal level. My dad is pretty shy and standoffish, and the staff welcomed him and knew just how to approach him. Unfortunately my father had a medical emergency on his second night at the facility. He pulled the emergency cord in his room and a staff member went to him immediately and called the paramedics who came right away. The staff called me right after calling 911 so I knew what was happening the whole time. I had several meals with my dad in the dining room and the food is actually quite good! Note that they do not have special menu items for people on specific diets (like low sodium) so while they try to serve healthy food, the resident needs to monitor their own intake and make good decisions about what to eat. It's restaurant style so my dad felt like he was getting the royal treatment and he loved the food. Unfortunately my father passed away very unexpectedly right after moving in. The staff was devastated and shocked and were so supportive of our family during this crisis. I KNOW this was the perfect place for my dad and he would have thrived there. I am super hard to please and have very high expectations, and I have no reservations about Quail Lodge. The management, including the Director, Susan Allen, is fabulous, and so are Michelle (Mikki) and Kay. The concierge staff is also great and super friendly. I wish my dad could have spent a lot more time there! read more

very very nice facility. My "friend" lives there and complains constantly about the food and the order in which it is served.

Well today I went to the store and seen the quail lodge bus parked sideways over 3 parking spaces where the disabled and elderly would park.So I confronted the bus driver Keisha and told her that it would be nice if she moved for older people etc.Then she shoe me away and said oh well .i kept trying to explain to her but was rudely cut off and window rolled up.she was so unprofessional and cocky and continued to laugh at me when I video taped her.I would never recommend this place to my family or even enemies. Reason why is if they will hire such low life staff I wonder what else goes on there.Even though front desk (helen) was really helpful.BEWARE HEED MY WARNING.Dont let your loved ones near here.have a great day. read more

If you want your loved one(s) to live in a place where the employees sincerely care about them, the food is good, activities are plentiful, transportation to doctors etc is easy, price is appropriate, residents are friendly, apartments are sunny and cheerful, privacy if and when you want it, and you can have peace of mind.....Quail Lodge is the place!! Susan has been mentioned in other reviews and I agree---she is wonderful! Her genuine caring for residents carries throughout the entire staff. Wish I could give Quail Lodge higher than 5 stars!

I would be happy to retire here myself someday. I placed my mom here three years ago, and have only moved her out because of her deteriorating condition, not because of the service. The apartments are clean and well cared for by housekeeping; the food is nutritious and well prepared. Of course the residents complain about it, but that's because most of them have nothing else to talk about. It gives them a chance to bond. :) I have eaten several meals there, unannounced, and have nothing to complain about. My mom always looked forward to breakfast and lunch; by dinnertime many seniors are in a grumpy mood anyway (see Sundowner syndrome), but I never had a problem with their dinners. There are plenty of opportunities to socialize: a library, a recently renovated movie theatre, a fitness area with fitness machines, a chapel, a community social hall, at least two pianos, and a game area with billiards, card tables, and jigsaw puzzle areas. There's a bus to take residents to shopping or doctor visits, for free. The staff was uniformly polite and helpful, which is tough to do given that elderly folks tend to be curmudgeons. The facilities are clean and well cared for. The staff recently upgraded all the doors to fire doors. When my mom's heating system malfunctioned, their maintenance man fixed it within a couple of hours. On occasions when my mom fell ill, they delivered meals to her in her room. One thing you need to remember if you're looking at this place is that it is NOT an assisted living facility. If your loved one needs "standby assistance" or skilled nursing, Quail Lodge cannot provide it. We contracted with an outside service, ResCare, who came in regularly to help my mom; they were outstanding. However, they're on a schedule and cannot be standing by all the time. If you or your loved one is relatively independent, this is an excellent community for them. As I said, I seriously plan to move here or to some place like this when I retire. I could not ask for better. read more

Terribly managed by Sunshine. Building is falling apart. Falsely advertises as being Assisted Living. Will be contacting State of California on this matter. read more

The Quail Lodge Retirement Community is truly a community. The activity director, Sacha Samuel, has a wide variety of activities that the residents can take advantage of. There is always something happening if they wish to participate. Management is important to make a facility run smoothly. Susan Allen, the executive manager, and Mikki Estrada, the office manager, bent over backwards to help my husband and I when we came from Wisconsin with plans to move my cousin to a nursing home near us. Because her health deteriorated and doctors stated she could not be moved, we ended up staying in California for six weeks. Susan and Mikki made sure we had a place to stay in Quail Lodge the entire time. This was a godsend for us as they not only ensured we had lodging and well-balanced meals during this difficult time, but also were there to offer emotional support to us as my cousin went to hospice care. We were impressed by how Susan and Mikki connect with the residents. For example, they stop at each table during meal time to visit with each resident, making everyone part of this friendly community. I cannot speak highly enough of Quail Lodge and its friendly management. I researched many retirement communities before helping my cousin move into Quail Lodge seven years ago. Throughout her seven year residence at Quail Lodge, my cousin repeatedly told me how glad she was to be there. Her good experiences started with the move in and continued until the move out. The beautiful building and landscaping give Quail Lodge an airy, pleasant atmosphere. Even the hallways are welcoming with their lovely, varied artwork, wide aisles and comfortable seating. I highly recommend Quail Lodge Retirement Community. read more

I wrote a review when my folks moved in in 2012. Since then I feel the place is mismanaged. The managers turn over about every six months. Not to mention the chef's (if you could call them that). The food is terrible and everyone complains. The servers double as housecleaners so they are always rushed and the housekeeping is a swipe of the vacuum and dust cloth. Maybe Sunshine should pay their cooks better so the residents can get decent food, which is what most senior live for at their age! Better housekeeping would be nice too! read more

We moved my mother to Quail Lodge a month ago from out of state. It has been a big adjustment for her but she seems to be settling in. She had been living on her own with a companion 3 times a week, and occasional visits from family. She was alone a lot and was without much socialization. She has some memory loss and does not drive. She needs help with meal planning, shopping and scheduling. At Quail Lodge, she maintains some independence by having a private apartment, yet she can have socialization daily in the dining room and with the activity options. She has a lovely balcony where she can have her plants, and sit outside for her morning tea or afternoon reading. We have found the staff at Quail Lodge to be friendly, responsive and helpful. Everyone from concierge to management, housekeeper, hairdresser, and dining staff have been welcoming to Mom. They truly seem to care about the residents and their well-being. I just asked Mom what she thinks about Quail Lodge and she says, "they really make me feel that I can be more independent for this next phase of my life." She feels that being at Quail Lodge will relieve some of the care responsibilities for her children. We feel thankful to have found Quail Lodge, and have no regrets so far! read more

The food is very poor. The management changes every couple weeks. Since Sunshine took over its the pits! Don't waste your time... look somewhere else. read more

This is one of the best retirement communities for aging parents that you will find in the area. You get the most bang for your buck! After an extensive search, we are so grateful to have found Quail Lodge. Susan Allen, the executive manager, and Mikki Estrada, the Office Manager, have a highly professional staff who are very friendly and compassionate. These two ladies lead by example and everyone works as a very productive team to provide a very clean, fun, and safe environment for the residents. Sacha Samuel, the social coordinator extraordinaire, provides a schedule that is full of many fun activities. She brings smiles, enthusiasm, and lots of love to all the residents and she encourages them all to participate. The food is absolutely delicious! It may not be gourmet, but it is way better than what the average person cooks on a daily basis in their homes. I love the elegance inside the building. It is very tastefully decorated. The shuttle service is another great service which takes the residents to doctor appointments, restaurants, and stores. Kesha, the bus driver, does a great job shuttling these residents to meet their needs. Overall, the environment is safe, fun, and extremely comfortable for the residents. The success of Quail Lodge starts with leadership that is "top notch". The staff works like a family covering for each other to meet the needs of the residents, and the residents are cared with love and compassion like extended family members. We are so glad we found this place for mom:-) read more

this place is no good the food is the worst you will ever get the place smells like death & the management is a joke maintenance is a joke they cant fix nuting stay a way stay fair a way read more

Quail Lodge has been a life saver for my family. My father needed more assistance after his stroke in 2014, and was being extremely stubborn about accepting this. He started having a harder time keeping up with his 5 bedroom house and being able to take care of himself properly. My dad is very independent and giving up his home was something he said he would never do, but this had to be done for his safety. The staff held his hand pretty much through the entire transition and made it a lot easier for him. They actually got him excited about his new home. They go on weekly outings to various locations and invited my Dad to join the Cache Creek outing (he loves to gamble) and he had a blast. The onsite agency that takes care of the residents have been very helpful and provide him with exactly what he needs. My father only needs assistance with meals, cleaning, and his nightly medication. The building is gorgeous and the apartments are very spacious and well kept. I've had supper once with my Dad and ordered the Chicken Parmigiana. It was out of this world. I told my Dad I would have paid big bucks at a restaurant for that meal. My dad has been very happy at Quail Lodge. I am relieved he is in a good situation and we can all finally be at ease. read more
