Downey Retirement Center

Downey Retirement Center - Good Choice

They're not always good at returning my calls in a timely manner. Overall though, I like them a lot and they really seem to care about their clients.

I didn't like Downey Retirement Center. The place was really bad. I couldn't get an appointment with someone there because they don't seem like they really care. Both doors from the front and the back of the facility were wide open.

A great place for my loved one

The facility is really clean and the rooms like an apt. It is recently renovated. The food looks good but I have not been able to try it. The staff is easy to contact but sometimes communication could be better. I would definitely recommend this community to others.
