My dad is in Pico De Loro. We were looking for someplace that would be fairly close to where my parents lived so it would be easier for us to get my mother over there to visit. I hadn't toured any of the other places, but at the hospital, they felt that my dad needed more than just a place that was going to where he would have a room, where he could be independent because at the stage he's in, he's not able to be independent. So I went with my brother to visit Pico De Loro. It's an older place, but the people there seemed nice, and so far, he's been getting good care. Hospice has taken over, so they're doing a lot of the care. My dad has been there for a few weeks now. He has dementia, but at this point, he's under hospice care. He's not able to get out of bed or do anything on his own. It's what they call board and care. The people I've met have been very nice, very friendly, and seem to be caring. I haven't seen the food, but they puree his food for him. I know they have good meals. They've invited us to come and have lunch sometimes. From what I've seen, they seem to serve good meals for the other people that are there. This is a relatively small place. For somebody that's a little bit more independent, I don't see that they're doing a lot of activities. It's very limited. They have a TV room, and it looks like they have some kind of a room for games. I don't know what other places cost, but I'm sure this is not as costly. It's nice and it's clean. They do the meals, and they seem to interact with the people there. The staff has been there for quite a while, which is a good sign.

The amenities at Pico De Loro that could be used were like you would find at the library; they didn't really have much. I didn't see any activities going on. They just said that they would get them together for game nights and watching TV, and that was about it. The staff was good; they were helpful and very cordial. I mainly dealt with the facility director, and she was really nice. The facility itself seems kind of old and worn down overall. They could improve on the outside. They had sort of a second area in the back where they put their junk. It was gated off, but there were residents walking around. There was sort of a fountain or a pond area, but it was not looking good.
