We realize that there are many types of dementia and Alzheimer’s, we are able to help at any level.

We have an admission plan for Assisted Living and Memory Care residents that includes touring the community, meeting the staff, and an evaluation.

Sungarden Terrace was much smaller compared to the other place we visited. They offered first and second floor studio, which was really nice. I liked the second floor, and it was almost $200 difference. My friend can take the elevator up. The facility was clean and well kept. I did not have much interaction with any staffing. I think I was introduced to a couple activities' people in passing, and they all seemed friendly enough. She gave me a newsletter that has special activities. They have both memory care and assisted living there, so that would be kind of a one stop deal. I got to look at the rooms and the common areas. The director of marketing admission was really nice. They had a movie room that had all the chairs set up. They had a popcorn making machine, and that was very popular. She showed me all the different areas. She said that if he needed any furnishings, they had some furnishings. They could help furnish the room. They have the regulars each meal, then they can pick something different off the little menu (if they wanted to have a cheeseburger instead of a bowl of soup). The second floor studio was nice, open, and airy. They try and create an atmosphere where it's bright, sunny, and cheery. I had a good feeling about that one. They had laundry services and snacks. If somebody wanted to have a cup of coffee, they have the coffee place they can just walk to. They have activities. They had a room for physical activities they can do with them. They had libraries, a common area or a family room if somebody wanted to just go watch TV or something, and they have special events planned. The dining area seemed well kept and gave people room. It was nicely set up. With the little contact that I had with anybody, they all seemed very outgoing and very cheery. It seemed like they were there for the people that were living there. It didn't look like they didn't want to be there or that this was the only job that they could get. They truly were there because that's the environment that they want to be in.

I toured Sungarden Terrace about a year ago. It was a very pleasant assisted living community. Everything was very clean. It had lots of areas where people could sit outside their rooms, and there were different small community areas. It was an older facility, but you wouldn't really feel that way, and it felt clean and pleasant, too. The assisted living area would have been a good place. They had some outdoor spaces and outdoor eating spaces, too. They also showed me the memory care because my dad has a dementia diagnosis. It seemed like he would be able to live in assisted living until he couldn't manage that type of thing, so I think they are flexible on where the people would live depending on the person and not depending on the diagnosis, which was nice. The memory care area was definitely for more moderate-to-severe memory issues. It was smaller and secure, but it was part of the building. It did have a little bit of outdoor space. It felt very chaotic, so it didn't seem very peaceful, but that's just the nature of memory care to some extent. Since Lewy body dementia is different from Alzheimer's, that part of it would not be conducive to my dad as far as his condition, especially now. It would not be a good match for Lewy body because it was too cramped, too loud, and a little too chaotic in the memory care area for that type of dementia. They have a library and a courtyard -- like an outside area where they can go -- and they're very reasonably priced for what they offer.

I visited the Sungarden Terrace in Lemon Grove. The lady that helped me, I think her name was Susan, was very nice and very informative. She showed me the whole place, it was a nice tour. She took me to the rooms, she showed me a unit that my mom would be using and what it would be like. She took me outside to see the gardens, the patio, and the lovely grass areas. She also took me to the dining hall, to the TV room, and library. There was a theater there and she also took me to that. I think she tried to show me an overall concept of what it would be like there. She was very informative about what's available there. About how anytime I could visit my mom if she ended up going there and how that works with this COVID thing. She also gave me a package to take home which I still might fill out just in case something would happen and my mom would have to go there in April. She even gave me information about the program that I could get extra funding from, since my dad was in the army, she gave me a contact for that. She followed up on me with a phone call a couple of days later. She also told me that they stream in my mother's church which I knew my mom would be happy about if she went there. That would be an important thing for her. We also went over the cost, how the arrangement would be and how we would be paying, and all that. She's really very thorough. The place was very clean and very neat. I was highly impressed with them, I was just not ready. It looked very presentable and very inviting.

My friend has moved into Sungarden Terrace. They have his food mechanically chopped, and they do not charge extra for that. They also did not have to put him in their skilled living. They have cute little studios. I got to see his room just once for about an hour because they only gave us an hour to move him in. His room was very clean and cute. The person during the move in was very nice, very helpful, and very calming. I have no complaints whatsoever. They have very kind and attentive activity staff.

My appointment at Sungarden Terrace was really very impressive. It was outstanding. It’s probably a newer community, because it looked new, clean, and set up pretty nicely. The staff was excellent, I even saw the cleaning lady go by with the cart, everything was very neat and she was so nice. One of the tenants there had stopped and spoken with her, and she was very friendly with her. She even talked to me for a minute about how she was excited about her art class and was able to do art even though she wasn't artistic. They also had music, a game room, library, and theater, and I was impressed with that. Plus they had a mass or church thing going on on Sundays for people who want a service. They have a bus to take the residents to the mall, or take them to little things going on around the community that they want to attend. They had a salon where they can get their hair cut or colored, and a barber cuts their hair. They had nice planned meals and menu where they offered different things. A guy would come in to play the piano once or twice a week, during lunch or dinner time. Somebody else would come play the violin as well. The rooms were all very nice too, I really like the setup, and the bathrooms were clean. It seemed very nice there.

My mother likes Sungarden Terrace. It is the only one that we toured that she likes. It is warm and not overly decorated. It is not like a hotel; it is more like a community. The staff was very factual, answered all of my questions, and explained the procedures for putting someone in assisted living. They were the only ones who gave us the form that the doctor had to fill out. They were very calm, informative, and didn't give us the hard sell. These people were more interested in helping. My mother has a place there, but she will not move in until after Christmas. She has a studio, which is just one room with a bath. My mother likes the food. As for activities, they have the kinds of things that interest my mother. They have Bible studies, and a priest that comes and conducts mass, including a Christian service, in their actual chapel. They have some exercise programs and bring in outside speakers. They have a covered patio area where they have barbecues in good weather.
