My MIL just moved in a few weeks ago and I can’t thank Cliff View Terrace enough. The entire staff is attentive, caring, patient, and highly experienced. Having a Geriatrician on staff is an added bonus. They have all worked diligently to make her transition as smooth as possible. This facility is so clean and beautifully decorated indoors and out, she thinks she is in a hotel rather than an assisted living facility. Everyday she’s bathed, dressed, coifed and even has her lipstick on. From exercise class in the morning to tea & cookies with live music in the afternoon, as well as the visits from Walter the Golden Lab, there is always something to look forward to. As her family, we are grateful to know she is respected, safe and well cared for.

My mom is incredibly well cared for at Cliff View Terrace. Her days are joyful, upbeat and the staff is the best in the business. Thank you to all of you at Cliff View, especially Ruby and Gigi, for taking such amazing care of my favorite person on earth ❤️
