I visited this facility

I visited Santa Maria Terrace. The rooms and everything were nice. I just didn't need that level of care. They had a library. The dining area was very nice. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly.

not the best experience for seniors who need daily care

The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and the staff are generally kind. It is a suitable option for seniors who are fully independent and primarily need a safe and comfortable living environment. The activities calendar is active, and residents who thrive on social engagement will likely find plenty to do. That said, this facility is not well-suited for anyone who requires regular assistance with daily living tasks (bathing, mobility support, medication management, etc.). While staff are available, the le…

I visited this facility

I toured Santa Maria Terrace. I was impressed with it. I like that it was a small community and that it was clean. I have nothing to compare it to. However, I did not place my parents there at this time because we were not ready. I met the administrator, and I was very impressed with her. Also, even though it was an older facility, its building is in good repair. I was there at lunch, and there were no awful smells or mold. dirt, or any type of bodily fluids, so the smell was very nice. The size of the rooms is ade…

I visited this facility

Santa Maria Terrace was a great place. They have a lot of amenities there. They have a large community area, and they have a great place to get together. I'm most interested in the library with books; it's great. There's an activity room, too. The person who assisted me was very nice. He showed me all kinds of stuff. The place was very clean. But the price was very high.
