Independent Living in California

"From the moment we began considering Watermark Napa Valley for my grandmother’s new home, the staff there made an indelible impression on us, proving that this is not just a place to live, but a community to be a part of. Vanessa, the Sales Director, was not just helpful; she was a beacon of support, guiding us through every step of the process with empathy and expertise. Her thorough understanding of our needs and her ability to address them exemplifies professional excellence and personal care. Patti, the move-in coordinator, was nothing short of exceptional. Her meticulous attention to detail and her warm, engaging approach eased what could have been a stressful transition. Patti went above and beyond, ensuring that every aspect of my grandmother's move was smooth and that she felt welcomed and at ease from the moment she arrived. The entire team at Watermark Napa Valley deserves accolades. Each staff member we interacted with was top-notch, displaying an unparalleled level of com" - Alex… Read more

"The staff at Westmont Carmel Valley are very attentive, however, the food is a very poor quality. The meat dishes are very tough, and although they provide fresh produce with each meal, it is so undercooked as to be not cooked at all. For example, carrots and beans and broccoli are practically raw when served with your cooked meal. You need a steak knife to cut the carrots so you can eat them. Additionally, no matter what you order for your meal what they bring you is never what you ordered. Then if you send it back to the kitchen to get your actual order, it will be another 30 minutes at least before your correct order comes out again." - K… Read more

"Service is good people are mostly great, the location is both good and awful. Our apartment is right over the railroad tracks and the trains constantly blow their horns making sleep almost a nightmare. We have been promised a move to the next available apartment on the other side of the building. It is our only criticism and we should have been told about it before we signed up. We are looking for a solution now. I think there’s one out there." - Don… Read more

"I've lived at ALMAV, San Rafael for the past three years and have been extremely pleased with this home away from home. The administrative staff with its supportive group of assistants, leaves very little to be desired. Maintenance, activities, health care, spiritual and culinary perform far more than expected. As a resident in independent living, I can vouch from experience that there is very little, if anything, that's not professionally addressed. As with any living condition, everything is not always perfect, but I'm "One Happy Camper" living here at ALMAV. ." - Rudy… Read more
