I have lived at Cogir and have experienced four Executive Directors. This changing management has become disruptive and causes anxiety and concern. The last two Directors have been on loan from other Cogir facilities. During the tenure of these four Executive Directors, we have seen a restroom close which serviced the beauty salon, the fitness room and the theater. We have seen activities and services reduced at this beautiful facility. For example, Our pool is regularly covered with dust from nearby construction, and food stains cover our patio, along with chairs that don’t slide caused by missing parts. When choosing our last home we did not expect the absents of service and care plus chaotic of management. Cogir promises in their literature “the best lifestyle you’ve ever dream of”. A temporary executive director, Cynthia Figueroa, however, has shown interest in the residences and our need for service. I understand these reviews are read by the CEO of Cogir properties, and hope that this review is taken seriously. D. M. Davis

I recently attended a happy hour event while visiting my grandmother and wanted to share my positive experience regarding one of your staff members, Desiree, from the activities team. From the moment we arrived, Desiree was incredibly attentive and welcomed us with a genuine smile. Throughout the event, she was a 'busy bee’, consistently checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. I was particularly impressed by her proactive approach; she was constantly moving, clearing plates, refreshing drinks, and providing thoughtful, extra assistance to residents who needed it. While the entire staff was welcoming and friendly, Desiree’s exceptional work ethic and dedication to the resident’s comfort truly stood out. She is a wonderful asset to your team, and her efforts made our visit truly special.

I lived here for 9 months and am happy that I made the choice to move here. One of the most outstanding parts of living here is the staff. Dustin the driver at the community made me feel welcomed right off the bat by helping me get to a lovely jazz party that was being thrown in the community when I forgot my cane in my room. He has two jobs that he has managed to perform outstandingly. He is an excellent driver and he delivers our packages right to our doors, and he always does it with a smile. He is just one example of the amazing staff I have come to know here at Cogir of South Bay.

Desiree is an absolutely phenomenal Activity Assistant! She brings so much energy and creativity to our residents, consistently engaging My mother in law in games and crafts. What really sets her apart is her initiative in taking residents on off-site outings. As a driver, she ensures everyone feels safe, comfortable, and excited to explore the community. She is caring, reliable, and truly enhances the quality of life for the seniors here. We are so lucky to have her.

My mother recently moved in to Cogir of South Bay. The staff did an amazing job with helping our family setup her new place and they were very attentative to making sure all her needs were taken care of. Special thanks to Fabienne (the move in coordinator) and Gary (from maintenance) with getting so many things done so quickly like: hanging her tv, hanging her pictures, setting up tv/internet, and placing her rugs. My family and I could not be happier with the result!
