whoever works behind the front desk by the valet desk need to be fired. Unprofessional, rude and uneducated woman.

Don’t move to this place. The Mather took my grandma’s money, gave her an apartment, brought her in to discuss renovations to her unit. She listed the home she lived in for 40 years for sale to move to the Mather, and got rid of a lot of her things. A few weeks prior to her move-in date, The Mather called to say they’re not accepting her after all. This made no sense! Why put an 80+ year-old person through this, and get them through the process, only to pull the plug at the 11th hour? Their policies are bizarre, and it sounds like the management doesn’t care about their community if they have no regard for how they treat newcomers.

Very nice place.. the atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. The staff are all nice and courteous. For me, it’s one of the best place that I’ve been to. I’m a caregiver and I were sent to many Senior Homes just like this one. And this one, I highly recommend it.
