My dad & step mom are at the initial phase of gathering info. for when they might move to an assisted living facility. Appreciated the warm welcome and transparency of levels of care pricing. Staff we met all seemed friendly and authentic. Marbella so far is at the top of my parents list for what felt like a really good fit for them. Only negative is that when visiting a facility I don't care for when administrators say negative things about other facilities or how another facility runs their business. Let the consumer make their own decisions without influence.

Marbella Chico is a solid place. You can tell right away the staff actually gives a damn and isn’t just going through the motions. Everything’s clean, well kept, and it doesn’t have that cold “facility” feel. It’s way more comfortable and welcoming. The people there seem genuinely cared for, and that goes a long way. I almost want to check in myself! If you’re looking for a place you can feel good about, this is definitely the one!

My great grandma lived there for 10 months, and loved the whole experience. The staff and the care team was amazing. During the end of her life, they spent so much time and love checking in on us and making sure everything was going as smooth as possible. Accommodating the extra people in her room as we spent time, feeding us meals, and making the whole experience as frictionless as possible. Nancy, Mariah, Faith, Ronda, and so many others loved my great grandma like family and really made the difference.

Marbella of Chico has been an absolute blessing for families. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Paul is incredibly attentive, compassionate, and truly committed to the well-being of each resident. The facility itself is beautiful—clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed to feel like home. What really stands out is the personalized care and the sense of community. I can’t say enough good things about Marbella. It brings peace of mind knowing families are in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a senior living community that goes above and beyond!

The med techs and caretakers is what make this assisted living experience better. Unfortunately, the administration lacks a tremendous amount of leadership and communication. My mom was here for 5 weeks and we moved her. From day one, there were issues. Her necklace alert button was broken along with her bathroom alert button and for which she needed those two basic things to get help, amongst other issues like medication mismanagement. I reported this to licensing. Do not bring your loved ones here unless the higher management enforces more training and/or new administrative staff are hired. Not worth your time, energy or stress.
