Alderwood is honestly a great assisted living facility. I've only met one staff member who did not seem to love their job, and even they still did more than what was asked of them. All of them have made an effort to get to know my family, and greet us by name whenever we visit. The amenities are also very good, but I cannot give more information since my grandmother seldom utilizes them due to her inability to walk and lack of desire to socialize. The residents are also very kind, they smile at me every time I go. The best thing about Alderwood is that the staff seems to really care. Everyone there is happy, and I rest well knowing that my very fragile grandmother is in caring hands. It is located in a good, quiet area. San Gabriel is a great city, and is also very close to my city so visiting is very easy. I cannot stress enough how great this assisted living facility is. With all of the stories of abuse and etc, it is very hard to choose a home, especially when my grandma has been known to lie incessantly. We wanted to know that we were putting her in trustworthy hands, and her social worker, constantly makes sure of that. She has told me that he visits her constantly and my family is also close to her social worker. Although assisted living places aren't really the greatest places in the world, I think Alderwood is the lesser evil by far compared to other homes.
