My partner moved into this facility 6 months ago. It is absolutely the best experience one can have…read morein assisted living because the staff is not just well trained, but so caring and kind to all. This is not just true of the professional staff but includes servers in the dining room, housekeeping, maintenance, etc. Employees are not only supportive of residents, friends, and family members like myself, but they support each other which creates a palpable familial atmosphere throughout. Whatever one's quirks and needs, they are addressed both lovingly and respectfully. They never miss an opportunity to ask after residents' well being and take the time not just to administer individual care but to talk to the residents as if they matter to them. Five stars isn't nearly enough to express the superb situation my partner has found here.

My father-in-law has been here for a year plus. From what…read moreI've observed during my dozen or so visits: FACILITY It's very clean and airy. The hallways are wide and bright, and the rooms include closets and bathrooms, not unlike a hotel room. The dining area and common area has high ceilings and very roomy, a nice piano and book shelves and water/fruit stations, a large TV. There is a game room and outdoor patio on 2nd floor. STAFF I've had nothing but good interactions with staff. Importantly, it appears they have a full staff because one of the problems with SNF or the like are that they are understaffed. I've never seen that be an issue here. Always cheery and attentive. Part of the benefit of a place like this is keeping a tight routine, and they do so very consistently, with respect to meds, treatments, food and activities, FOOD Pretty standard but good. The dining area is kept well. The servers are very nice and attentive. I ate with my father-in-law once. Not bad. PARKING Street parking, no lot, but I've always found a spot. COST Reasonable. I've seen higher costs for lesser care, that's for sure. ACTIVITES They seem to really keep it going. Like any institution this can get a bit repetitive and perfunctory, but they seem to keep on top of this. My father-in-law participates and enjoys some of the happenings. Origami, I believe. Do your own due diligence, of course. Anybody making the placement decision for someone should contact the applicable regulatory bodies--City, County and State--to find out about licensing status and any public violations or other concerns. I've been to a lot of these places over the years. It doesn't take much thought to realize that it's not easy to work at, let alone manage a place like this, for obvious reasons. It's takes a special type of light-heartedness, patience and dedication. It appears that this place is doing a fine job. Cheers.

Pleasant accommodations, pleasant staff, Food was good, diverse activities for all that wanted to participate. In comparison to the ones in Palm Springs this was by far the best.

Only drawback were the bathrooms (not wheel chair accessible) and transportation not provided for residents. Yes I would you twelve oaks again. A huge thank you for the entire staff that assisted Carson.

It is a joy to work with such professional and good people. They see a lot good friends.

Lots of informational seminars available, full gym, exercise classes, lap pool and even a salon/spa. Full time nurse on location, good food, nice staff...all good things come at a cost and this place is not cheap. This is more of a retirement community, if you require more care, this may not fit your needs. And they do not have the option for more skilled care. Beautiful and pretty new, lots of vibrant people...and yes the ladies out number the men as usual, but there are a high number of couples there. Got to visit a 2 room condo...gorgeous, large bedrooms, large bathrooms, full kitchen. There were 6 of us in the living room with a wheelchair and there was room for 6 more. Better start saving now cause the cost of retirement living is only going to go up from here.

This is an outstanding property, and the cost of entry reflects the difference between this…read moreretirement home and other assisted living facilities. Brand-new, with an extensive array of activities available on-site, the place seems more like a luxury hotel than a place where old folks park themselves in the lobby chairs and stare at you over their walkers as you enter. Library, card room, art classes and studio, full gym with personal trainer on duty, heated pool and spa, grab-and-go deli area, wellness office with RNs, memory unit, beautiful grounds, secure parking, etc. The challenge is that the residences require a buy-in, typically in the hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, which amount is explained to be 90% refundable upon the apartment being vacated and re-sold to the next purchaser. Once accepted, you then pay a monthly "rent" of some thousands (which appears to be less than the monthly rate at many assisted living locations) out of which rent there is a monthly food allowance. In addition to knowing your financial capability they require a physical evaluation to be sure you can handle the level of independence required. The regular dining room has an extensive menu, and the food prices are deducted from the monthly food allowance which is part of the monthly rental fee, which means the food is much better and more varied than the two-choices/all-in-one meal fee charged by other assisted living places, where the food is often tasteless and of poor quality. If you buy more than your monthly food allowance has allotted, you get a bill to make up the difference. There is also a weekends-only upscale restaurant which is suitable for families joining a resident for dinner during weekend visits. The place is very clean and beautifully decorated, with the smart choice of handsome carpet squares instead of wall-to-wall in the hallways, for easy replacement in case of spills. The public areas are lined with good artwork, there's a large library, and there are many apartment floor plans to choose from, with large rooms and beautiful kitchen areas, balconies, and frequently there are powder rooms in addition to double-sink master bathrooms. More independent residents may decide to take an apartment in one of the villas rather than in the main building. Overall there's real thoughtfulness and excellence in the design and implementation of this place, and it's very "country club" in feel, so be prepared for sticker shock. Residents I spoke to were all extremely complimentary about Monte Cedro -- they loved it there. But who wouldn't?

We were able to fulfill my grandfather's dying wish of seeing us get married thanks to Villa Gardens. The care team here is also very attentive, warm, and knowledgeable.

We saw the staff member go back to "check" and claim they didn't have it. Months passed and we called again to check and they somehow found it shattered in pieces. We were not provided an explanation of how it became shattered and the most disgusting part of this situation is that the statue was left with her hands holding up her middle fingers (and the rest of her fingers removed). Based on how the statue is designed, it would be impossible for this to be an accident from the shattering. This deliberate action is so slimy and left a bad place in our hearts.
