I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My aunt is moving out of Mather Place. It's a beautiful building. I think they do wonderful things in planning programming. Meal preparation is provided. The price point is what gets me. It's too expensive for me. The room sizes are average. Housekeepers come in, which is wonderful. They do light cleaning around the apartments, and they keep the overall building looking very clean and beautiful. They provide music, so musicians visit. They have religious services catering to several denominations. They do…

I visited this facility

I toured Mather Place. I liked that everybody was super friendly, the food was good, and the residents I met seemed happy. The staff seemed fine. The facility was very clean, and they have a pool.

Friendship

I like Mather Place because everyone is my friend: the people who live here and the people who work here. I can be alone if I choose but I can also always find an activity or a friend to spend time with. We care for each other, we help each other, we have fun together, and we respect each other's privacy. Eating together makes the food, which is remarkably good, taste even better. Sharing activities makes them more fun. Being at Mather enriches my life.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Mather Place has an amazing variety of services and activities for residents in a beautiful and well maintained facility. It does seem that all of the staff is truly focused on making the lives of all residents happy and fulfilled. I am thrilled with how many new things my mother is taking advantage of; from workouts and physical training to games, movies, educational programs and Jewish activities. The staff has made the transition from her own home to community living quite warm and welcoming.

My remote tour with Mather Place was fine. Everybody I interacted with was super accommodating and easy to work with. And I thought they showed their residence well via video call.
