We loved everything about Dale Commons. We liked the room, amenities, cleanliness of the place, and appearance. We were in the process of securing a room for my father there until he decided to rather move with us. The layout was beautiful. They had a garden, common areas that were extremely well-manicured, and walkways. We did not eat there, but they gave us good cookies.

Don't let looks be deceiving. This facility looks nice but it is ran horribly and the staff wears one face for visitors and another for the residents. My grandmother lived there for 3 years. They claimed that they were giving her the medicine she was prescribed. They told me that my grandmother was old and had a bad memory. When I asked to see the ledger for pill delivery they kindly showed it to me. They had forgotten that they had signed off that they had give her her medicine already for that evening (it was 2pm) and the following morning. I asked to have the pills counted and there was too many. She wasn't receiving her medicine. Because I complained they didn't call me after she fell one night and bumped her head. My grandmother was taken to the hospital. My grandmother laid in the hospital conscious for 10 hours by herself. She was 95 and probably extremely scared. She then had a heart attack and died by herself. I live 30 minutes away and one of my family was at Dale Commons every day. We would have been at the hospital. It breaks my heart that she died alone because she didn't have to. When I talked to the manager and asked why I wasn't called he stated that I was just grief stricken and it wasn't his problem. My grandmother deserved better and so does your loved one.

I liked Dale Commons. The staff was nice. They had an exercise area and an activity area where they do activities like bingo. They had a nice courtyard where you could sit outside. The rooms were nice. The studio I saw was spacious and clean. The whole place was very nice including the layout and the dining area. My mother just needs to have more care than what they can provide.

Dale Commons had a lot of facilities, so we wouldn't have to leave. It had a beauty shop, a barber shop, library, and yoga lessons. It's like a fine hotel with a concierge that takes care of things. They had a mailroom and a room where they keep the medications for you and make sure you take them correctly. It's a really pretty facility. They let you cook a little bit. They had things set out like fruits and ice water with fruit in it. They play games, have a big exercise room with different equipment in it, and have a theater that shows movies every night. There were walking paths that are lighted and all concrete. The staff was really nice and seemed to get along and organized games. It's run really well and quiet and orderly.

Dale Commons the staff was very friendly. The apartments were adequate. It was not a good fit for my mother-in-law. The residents seemed happy. The place was very clean.

We went to Dale Commons. I was a very accommodating experience. They worked with me fairly well on my specific needs. I liked the apartments and everything looked good. They had nice showers. I happened to meet a resident outside before I walked in. I had a quick chat with her, and she had been in there for 12 years. She had a very good opinion of the place, and she enjoyed it very much.

my dad spent 8 moths there and because his health has declined (and he's a fall risk) his doctor suggested we move him to a facility where he can get more direct care. several time he mentioned he didnt get showers or if he did they didn't help with them. he had fallen several time and twice I never got a call from them and didn't know he was in the hospital until I was notified by the discharge nurse that he was ready to go home. prior to him moving into DC he was courted for weeks by the staff (who I'm sure are commissioned for new intakes) last fall prior to him moving to a different facility he spent 30 days in a rehabilitation hospital and not one time did they call to check on him. of course its a nice facility and the meals are cooked by a chief but at almost 3,800 a month I wouldn't expect it to be a dump. not to mention the 1k "community fee" that apparently is "non refundable no matter what". the relationship is great as long as the $$$ keeps coming.

Dale Commons was very nice, and I looked at 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms. I think I looked at studios as well. I had lunch there, the food was good, the staff was nice, and they've phoned me back a few times and kept inviting me to other functions.

My mother-in-law is in Dale Commons. It’s really nice, really good, and much more expensive, but she’s very happy there. The staff is great. They’re very helpful, very attentive, very nice, and very patient. The people who live nearby and visit are very impressed. She has a small apartment that she really likes. I would recommend it who those who could afford it. They have a beauty shop, lots of different rooms, a snack bar, and a nice dining room. They have a bus that takes people to places, which is really nice, but the bottom line is how the staff treats the residents. Dale Commons might be a little newer and had a very high ceiling in the dining area, so it had lots of light and was very open.

My mom has just left Dale Commons after living there for three years. It was bad because she wasn’t getting care. She would ring her button, and people wouldn’t come to her room. They would leave her there and let her get wet in her diaper. She got sores on her bottom from sitting on her wet urine. The apartment was nice, but the people who cleaned it did a terrible job. I took pictures of how bad a job they did and brought it to the attention of the manager. It was dirty, smelled like urine, and way overpriced, too.

Dale Commons was beautiful. It reminded me of a cruise ship. It was clean. Everybody was just really responsive. They were able to accommodate every need and did everything I asked. They worked beautifully with hospice. They really worked well as a team. They were upfront about everything, i.e., the cost. It was quite expensive, but the ease of transitioning to this care was really good. The thing about assisted living that caught me by surprise is you have to provide furnishings for the room. As far as how flexible they were to meet the end-of-life care, I was pretty amazed by it. They did a very fine job.

Dale Commons is a stone’s throw from the Kaiser Hospital so it is convenient. The facility is very nice outside, clean and the people were very nice. The residents had very nice things to say about the place.

We moved my mother from a very nice Senior Living center in Stockton CA (O'Conner Woods) to Dale Commons to be closer to our family. Dale Commons looks good from the outside but the meals served and the quality of care does not come close to O'Connors Woods. As my mother's need for additional care increased is was evident that the staff is ill equiped to provide quality care. The service director (Aarti Jattan) was especially difficult to work with. If not for the location (close to family) I would not recommend this facility.
