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.

We are delighted to have discovered The Glen at Heather Farm because it is surrounded by a quiet, lovely neighborhood; offers access to beautiful hiking trails; is in proximity to Walnut Creek's shops and restaurants; and provides nearby access to the outstanding John Muir Health medical center. Making such a large life change will be difficult, but we look forward to forming new friendships and becoming part of a dynamic, caring community. Because construction won't be finished for another year or more, we have time to prepare for this next big step. In designing the property, the developers of The Glen are trying to be environmentally friendly, something that very much appeals to us. The staff has made us feel welcome and provided all the information we needed to decide to move there, yet no one has ever pressured us in any way. We look forward to getting to know our future neighbors, both new residents of The Glen and those in the adjacent neighborhood, and we are pleased that The Glen is encouraging new residents to volunteer in the local Walnut Creek 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 chef now is terrific! He is always available to talk with you. He publishes suggestions and questions, and responses. Then all these are posted for all to read. If you don't like a something you can send it back. There are cards on every table for complaints and suggestions. We all love the food. 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. Walnut Creek is one of the top shopping venues in the Bay Area, and known for culture and top restaurants!

I cannot say enough good things regarding Atria Valley View which is just outside the Rossmoor…read moreCommunity. My father lived there this past year, and even with the COVID challenges we all face, Atria Valley View shined. His apartment (a 1 BR) was the perfect size and layout with the bonus of a porch. The facility itself had all the important amenities including a beautiful dining room, library, movie theatre, exercise room, salon etc. along with many other inside and outside sitting/gathering areas. Most importantly, the staff was just incredible. From the front desk, to the dining room staff to the med techs/support and starting with management. Keli, Joanne, Fleta - what can I say?! Everyone knew my Dad as well as my sisters and I and always took the time to sit and chat with us and effectively address any concerns/questions. Even more importantly, my Dad was happy there. We started him in Independent Living and eventually added in Assisted Living services. I have to say that I have had the opposite experience in a different home for my Mom so I've seen two opposite situations. Atria Valley View is just fantastic!!

They have no social conscience as to what they sound like inside of peoples houses far off. There is a long patio of tables, we can see on their website, that they could sit at to talk, but they choose to be intrusive and dangle at the very end in chairs, projecting loudly many at a time, all over the valley. There was no help from the manager when a few neighbors tried to make her aware of the problem. We do not recommend this place to live in.
