The staff is kind and caring and friendly. We always felt welcome there and the staff always asked how mom was doing and if we needed anything. Mom was very happy there and loved having a chapel on sight

I love that every floor is sooooo clean and beautifully decorated. All the staff is super helpful and nice and they go the extra mile for people. My grandfather loves Julien Estate. They have lots of different genres of music performances every month. I wish I was 55 so I could live there.

My parents lived there for a year until they had to go to assisted living. The staff is wonderful. The food is really good and the grounds and facility is beautiful. I highly recommend this place for your loved ones.

(b) Client: the person sending this request.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Julian Estates Gracious Retirement Living and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the communities named above by acknowledging this statement.
