Dealing with Virgina (older Filipino lady) to do an intake is the biggest waste of time. She is so…read moreunprofessional and sloppy, it is very frustrating corresponding back and forth with her when she goes out of town so often for "family emergencies", and is the main point of contact for intake. My mother is an Air Force vet that has frontotemporal dementia. She is 63, which is a little early to be experiencing this. I went on a tour of this facility back in January, so this has been a very slow process. I told Virgina my mothers age the day of the tour where she wrote it down, as well as other details such as the current facility my mother is at. I was concerned when I would call back to check on the process that she would ask me the same questions over and over, as if Virgina is suffering from dementia herself. She has been making false promises since February when she verbally told me my mother was approved to move in the first week of march. The first week rolled around and I didn't hear anything from Virgina, so i called her direct cell where i have been getting sent to voicemail ever since because she apparently has been having back to back family emergencies or events where she goes out of town (lol). She will send you to voicemail, then ask to call back later through text. I guess this facility was rieed of my checking on the status of the placement because they finally determined today after months of deliberation that my mother is suddenly "too young". This was already after Virginia said she would be moving within a week. They knew my mother's age months ago, it seems as if they are just lazy and want to pick and choose who to care for. Glad they showed their true colors before I sent the person I love the most in the world here... if anyone can suggest facilities that are diverse and have caring staff (as my mother is black), I would be totally open to suggestions because I am starting from square one again.

If you or your loved one are looking for a fabulous independent living environment, with some support (daily check ins, weekly cleaning, meals, etc), I highly recommend the Oaks!

The outdoor space looking out at the San Gabriel Mountains is fantastic, as are the wide range of activities available to the residents. My father especially enjoys Social Cafe, a current events discussion lead by Sam Baum, the Community Relations Director. We were supported the along the whole move-in process, making a sometimes difficult transition easier. When challenges and questions arose, someone was always there to get our questions answered and to calm our fears. Upon move in, there was a concerted effort by everyone to help my dad integrate into the community. Now, eight months later, I see the staff jokes around with him, people greet him in the hallways, and get to meet his new friends. Despite the challenges of covid, the Community Director and staff have worked so hard to include families in activites and to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for visiting. We recently attended a holiday celebration with food and live music. It was lovely. Like others have commented, we knew after our first visit that this was going to be a good fit for my father. Sam makes it easy to see that the Terraces at Park Marino is different from other facilities, he and the staff making the place really feel like home.

I first met Mauricio several years ago when I was looking for an assisted living facility for my…read moreuncle. Mauricio helped us understand what to look for, the kind of questions to ask and facilitated tours of several facilities. We ultimately decided on one that was my uncle's home until he passed away. Recently I reached out to Mauricio again for assistance with a friend who needed to find a place for her disabled husband. Mauricio connected her with Portia, one of the Golden Pathways advisors, who not only helped find a great residential board and care for my friend's husband, but also supported my friend thru the whole process and provided education and support to the the family as well. Mauricio and Portia provide professional and compassionate assistance. They are genuine in their desire to help, are knowledgeable about the many facilities in the area, and they go the extra mile. And a huge plus is that there is no cost for their assistance!. I have a lot of trust in Mauricio and the Golden Pathways team and recommend them to my friends who are looking for placement of their loved ones.

I visit The Kensington each day at breakfast, lunch and dinner to help feed Nancy and get a better understanding of what days are like there. To say the least, I continue to be impressed at the amazing level of care that Nancy and all the residents' experience. Of all the care-givers, Martha stands out not only with her level of dedication to all the resident but especially how she nurtures and comforts Nancy through these new tough times. Thank you Martha for being there and for the loving care you give Nancy each day. You now have a special place in my heart. Always Dennis

Not all that glitters is gold…read more I interviewed here and watched staff perform a three-person manual lift for a restroom transfer--something that should be done with a rolling commode, not three people straining with backs bent to keep a resident from falling. This is not a safe lift technique for staff or residents. Especially those who may be fall risks or wheelchair bound - as this resident was. Turns out transfers are routinely done in this unsafe manner because the 25-resident memory unit has only one rolling commode for the whole unit. One. Thats shameful. When this was brought to Director-level management, there was apparently no interest in the resident's care plan or in finding out why the unit wasn't properly equipped. The Director was only interested in finding out who disclosed the information. For a facility charging up to $40,000 a month, this level of basic equipment shortage is unacceptable. And the witch-hunting behavior of management towards nursing staff who bring valid concerns over safety is ridiculous. I am not impressed and I would not recommend.

Golden Road is bit above our relative's budget but I really appreciated Mauricio's professionalism, candidness, and especially the time he took to share his knowledge with us -- even after knowing that we would be seeking something less expensive than Golden Road.
