I have seen at least four or five places, but Saratoga Retirement Community was one of the best, and it's very, very beautiful. It's like this grand place sitting on a hillside, almost like a palace, but of course it is more expensive. I've seen their assisted living, their independent apartments, and their townhouses. The staff I met was very gracious and very respectful, and they answered all the questions that I had. The layout was wonderful and everything was huge -- like there's a huge dining room, a huge library, and so many conference and party rooms. It has walking trails and a golf course, so they have a lot of outdoor areas there. They even have their own swimming pool and their own gym. It's very spacious.

Saratoga Retirement Community was a very nice facility. My brother really liked it. The rooms were big. The tour was good, and the tour guide was very nice. My brother takes insulin for diabetes and I made that quite clear since the very beginning. The staff gave me no indication that the injection of insulin was a problem. She took me on the tour, and I really liked it, so I brought my brother back, and he really liked it. Right from the start, we mentioned that he is injecting insulin, and later on, we were put on a waiting list. We called and they said they're turning him down because he has medical issues they cannot address, and he needed more medical help than they could provide. I did not like the way I was treated.

We visited Saratoga, and it’s very spacious; the dining room was large. They have an indoor pool -- and that’s a real plus -- and they had a nice gym.

Saratoga Retirement Community was great. The rooms were a good size, and my mom was going to share one with another person. It's 20'x20' with a bath. The staff was lovely. We dealt with two ladies who walked us through. There was trivia for memory care and "name that phrase" games. They also had scheduled trips to scenic sights and a small garden. The place was big at around 37 acres. It seemed pretty nice.

Everybody we talked to at Saratoga Retirement was very nice. The service was great and the people were nice. I had actually put a hold on a place, but my father had gone too far, and he passed last week. We’ll go back there if my mother or somebody gets to that point.

The staff at Saratoga Retirement Community Memory Care was very friendly during our visit. They have good community support like they had other people in my mom's religion live there, and that would be helpful. They have onsite religious services that would be helpful as well, but the actual memory care unit seems too low key for my mom.

It was a very difficult and emotional decision to move my grandmother into an assisted living facility. She had recently lost her spouse of 60 years and was no longer able to care for herself alone in the home they shared. We wanted to find an assisted living facility that could meet her level of care, but many we visited that offered dementia level care had an institutional, hospital like environments. When we found Saratoga retirement it was a huge relief. We did have to wait for an opening on a list, but it was worth it. The facility is similar in feel to a nice, residential hotel. The rooms and halls are carpeted and the furniture is well appointed. Most residents have their own rooms of various sizes, depending on level of care needed. My grandmother had to start in the "special care" level, bit was soon able to move into a lower care level. The lounge areas and recreational facilities were comfortable and had a feel of sophistication. The campus has a wide variety of care levels to meet all stages of elder care. All of the staff was warm and seemed to genuinely care for the residents. They also seemed happy in their workplace. I also appreciated that they spoke to the residents, even the ones with dementia like adults, they never "dumbed down" the words they used. This allowed my grandmother to retain a sense of dignity, which was important to her and to our family. The food facility was as close to a restaurant as one could expect given the many levels of food needs that had to be met at each meal. Residents on a non restricted dietary plan could select from a menu of healthy choices. They could also have guests at meals. Our family ate many times with my grandmother and found the food to be homey and quite palatable. Saratoga retirement is definitely not the least expensive option in the area. Fortunately, my grandparents had planned ahead and had good long term care insurance. For people in this position, I would strongly recommend visiting Saratoga retirement.

We have reviewed and toured the facility this last weekend; we have a family member who soon will be retiring there in this parklike environment with good food, sleep & rest and unending activities to stimulate ther residents' lives to be more meaningful and rewarding. I personally, have seen so many facilities like these since many of my past family members have gone to places like this one...this is the best one that i have seen so far and their management team is on top of everything! The rates are very reasonable and they have thought of ever contingency for their residents and their families supporting same. I would recommend SRC and maybe further down that road, I will become a happy resident myself

My mother's medications were not administered properly, and care programs described for dementia care patients were either non-existent or poorly administered. Our feedback to management on the need to correct various structural and program issues was acknowledged, but never acted upon.
