The staff was helpful and pleasant at Moldaw Family Residences. I thought it was a good place.

We paid a visit at Moldaw Family Residences. The place was dimly lit and looked deserted. It was an all concrete building with no greenery at all. The atmosphere in the facility was just gloomy.

I visited this facility and was wowed by the high quality of the apartments and facilities - absolutely beautiful! The apartments have high ceilings and granite countertops, they look like high-end condos. The dining room is bright and everything is brand new, since the residences were just completed in 2009. There is also a dedicated Alzheimer's wing. One of the best features is the proximity to the new JCC with pools, exercise classes and a world class fitness center. Plus, it's 10 minutes from downtown Palo Alto, Stanford and the Stanford Shopping Center. 30% of the residents are not Jewish, and they seem eager to build a more diverse group (though Kosher food is available for those who want it). I believe the prices are lower than other, purely private, CCRCs, and there were many openings since the place recently opened.
