I have Celiac Disease and my husband has Asperger's Syndrome. We are well accomodated in all aspects and it is easy for my husband to do things he enjoys, Esp Chess! He hase made lots of friends. The staff are FRIENDLY and ACCOMODATING! I agree with my husband, that we live in Disneyland without the noise or crowds and he also agrees that this is the closest to being in Heaven without haveing to leave this earth. My husband has a social life for the first time ever and people accept his just as he is. I truely wish we had made this move earlier.

Rosewood is a community that provides many opportunities to participate in activities that provide both stimulation and socialization. It is a progressive care community and thus provides us with a sense of security as we age. Importantly the physical facilities arte attractive, well maintained and include a beautiful garden with walking path, a putting green, a large pool, outdoor jacuzzi and gyms. We thrive here as do most of the residents we know as there is always something to look forward to that is provided by the Lifestyle Enrichment group and/or dining. This is a great place to live out your life.

I am so disappointed in their care. My mom fell and broke her hip. She is 74 years old. The hospital said she had to go to a skilled nursing for rehab. They sent her to Rosewood. As soon as she got there, they came into the room and took her vitals, and left the room. They didn't even talk to her. They didn't explain anything and never gave her the call button. I came in 40 minutes later, and she was in tears. I went to try and find someone to help explain what she can expect and want will happen next. They were rude to me. Then, when my mom had to use the restroom, they told her that because she hadn't been evaluated yet, she couldn't get out of bed. That she would have to use a depend. Now know that my mom could walk with a walker and she has all her faculties, how hulamating that is for her. The staff is so rude and uncaring. I would never want anyone going there ( By the way, she was sent there on a Friday so she wouldn't be evaluated until Monday. Why would the hospital transfer her knowing this. Also, they should be able to be evaluated as soon as they get there)

Meals and Rooms are great but I thought the personal care was somewhat lacking I've only dealt with assisted living once before with my Grandmother and it was night and day compared to Rosewood. I'm not saying Rosewood is bad, just seems, like everything else, there's no real love real going out of your way to do good things. With grandma the attendants were empathetic and would go out of their way to make grams happy. My mother at Rosewood isn't treated like she's important but maybe that's something available any longer. Like I couldn't get in touch with Mom for 4 days where my brother drove down ( I live five hours away with severely handicapped wife) making visits difficult so of course I feel guilty and worry. When I couldn't get in touch with Mom or Rosewoods' second floor I was concerned but after many calls throughout 3 days my brother went out there. They forgot to write down the message.

Rosewood's impeccable reputation is well earned and deserved. From the application process through move in, and assistance with my Dad's transition from Assisted Living into Memory Care, our family is so appreciative of the Rosewood experience. We naively thought our 93 year old Dad would be able to "bounce back" from recent surgery. The Rehab staff at Rosewood got him back on his feet, but age caught up with him in Assisted Living. The team gracefully and patiently guided us to Memory Care and eventually to hospice services. I cannot express our gratitude for the blessings of the Rosewood community and services.
