Leisure Care, LLC/One Eighty

The community is wonderful and the staff are extremely friendly. We feel like the staff are like family. There are lots of care services available for your loved one here. The food services director waited on us during the tour and it was stellar. My loved one enjoys the food options here, and the community is able to accommodate dietary restrictions. There are activities such as religious services, happy hour, and more for the residents to partake in.

They were really helpful; I spoke with [name removed] a year before we actually moved my mom in. When my mom was in the hospital they'd go visit her and I thought that was nice. The main thing I'd share with people is I feel that Fairwinds has the nicest facility in a really great location, and they are one of the most affordable communities in Fresno. They also have a huge pool!

Wish we could have done it sooner. Activities program is wonderful, she has gotten involved in more activities. She even has located an old friend whom she has reconnected with and is enjoying many activities. Overall everything has been fantastic.

The Village at Unity gets 5 stars all the way around - it is a great place to live! I am sure that anyone who is looking for independent living would be very happy there. I would live there myself??!

It's a great place in a great location. The decor is charming. What I loved the best, was that it was autumn when I was there and I had a window, that I could look out of and watch the beautiful autumn leaves change and blow in the wind. The food is terrific. The young people were for the most part positive and willing to help. I didn't need any medical help but they were there for laundry and straightening the room, prompt meal service, etc. A staff member arrived soon after I pushed the button. I had rides to my appointments and there was no problem. I thank this place and I'm hoping to stay at one of their similar respite care facilities after my next surgery.

I was able to check out a few other communities prior to Van Mall, and this is the best I have ever seen. The community has a pleasant smell to it. I believe the staff take good care of the residents. I really like it and so does my loved one. They have lots of activities for the residents to participate in.

Our loved one already had friends living there which was a huge thing that our loved one was able to feel at home that way. The staff members really work with each residents individually. Our loved one is always kept busy with all the different activities. It really is a kind community and based on our families experience so far we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

The overall culture of the community is just fantastic and the staff are so in-tune with the residents there. Everybody from top to bottom is engaged with the residents. The receptionist takes the residents out for walks during the week. They even noticed how much our loved one enjoys to clean and garden so they got him his own cleaning cart and gardening set with tools, knee pads and gloves. We are not quite sure about the meals we have not had them ourselves but they are so accommodating with our loved one and never restrict him a meal. If he wants two entrees they will give him two entrees. The activity coordinators are so great with all of them and we are very grateful our loved one is there

This was a nice community. My loved one felt it was too fancy for them.

Overall great place for my brother, they have plenty of activities and the food has many options to chose from. He has become very picky and says does not like the food or even the water now. My brother would like to not be there but is best place for him with care needed. The staff has been wonderful and very accommodating.

The staff and facilities are top notch. And the residents have been very welcoming to my mother. The staff is very caring and respectful and responsive to her needs. They offer many social activities and try to include and encourage all residents to participate. It has been life-changing for my mother. We are both very pleased with her experience at Fairwinds.

Hawthorne Court is absolutely phenomenal. I feel they saved my dad's life. I would encourage other families seeking out a place for their loved one, whether it's Hawthorne Court or elsewhere, to identify what their loved one needs and to facilitate where their loved one needs to be for THEIR comfortability. I think we forget that as people, everyone has their own needs/preferences, and it's your elderly loved one who needs to feel comfortable where they live and who they're socializing with. It turns out home wasn't the best place for our loved one like I thought it was, and I didn't realize until touring all the things he needed that we (unintentionally) weren't providing for him. He had lost a considerable amount of weight living by himself. The food here is phenomenal. Chef [name removed] is phenomenal. [name removed] and [name removed], the servers, are phenomenal, because they encourage the residents to eat. He's gained a healthy amount of weight since he's been there. The food is good, and they have anything you want at any time of the day you want it, which is a huge plus for him. They have great activities, including strength and balance classes every day. At additional cost, they provide enhancement classes, which have provided great continuity and engagement for him. My dad is never just sitting in his room, which is super important. The nursing staff is ON. They know exactly what is going on. They're engaging and intuitive. They know everyone's name, and they know where everyone needs to be. It's truly a family setting. He gets his own independence at his own pace here. And let's not forget about cleanliness. Every week they change his sheets and clean his room, and their service is top notch. Everything gets disinfected. And nobody is crabby. I haven't met one person who is unhappy there. It's not phony either - they genuinely all love what they do. So I commend their housekeeping staff, and their staff in general. I travel a lot, and Hawthorne has been right there for me helping transport him to doctor appointments, and they even stopped at the pharmacy to get a new prescription for him when I couldn't be there. When you're the one in charge of your parent's care, who is your backup? That's how I figured out I needed help and that my dad needed to be there. And Hawthorne has been that reliable backup that I've truly needed.

My kids toured Fariwinds first before the many others that they looked at and this was the facility that they liked the most . My friend has been here a little over a month and it has turned out to be a really good experience for him. The value for the money is definitely there, especially for all that you get. The facility itself is very nice and always clean. I would absolutely recommend Fairwinds Woodward Park to others looking.

Unfortunately our loved one was not there long and we really only dealt with the administration but they were very accommodating. They were very good about the billing and refunding which we did not expect. Before our loved one was able to move in they held the room with no problem. We were very impressed with Hawthorne Court.

The staff were friendly and nice. The community was more expensive and didn't have a warm feeling to it.

We chose The Landing because it was closer to family so we could visit often. Also it was very clean and the staff were all super friendly when we came to tour. The atmosphere is very bright and cheery. The overall response time from staff is very quick, if anything happens they notify me right away and we have been impressed with that. I would definitely recommend them to others looking.

Russellville Park has a wonderful environment. My mom was scared when she decided to move, but in about 3 days she felt so comfortable there. She's involved in many things and is always so excited when I speak to her and tells me about the things she's done that day. Just to name a few, she's participating in - Bing Bag basketball, daily exercise, hibachi ball, she's hand & foot in card games with other women, and she's attended outings to casinos, grocery stores, movie theaters etc.. They actually just had a play there last night that she attended. It's been a great relief for our family and she is just having a blast! She has a stove and a kitchen in her apartment, so she's able to do some cooking of her own. She's cooked a few meals, but since she has friends she spends a lot of time in the dining room as well. Everyone has been very welcoming there and towards her. It's really the best place! I would absolutely recommend this community to others.

We had a very good tour at Van Mall. I really liked them - they would have been my 1st choice. But my loved one preferred a different location.

This community was amazing and top notch however, it was out of my loved ones budget. There were a lot of amenities and everything of another community that I was looking at but the only difference is that this building was very big. The residents were also different based on the budget so I did not feel like my loved one would feel at home.
