Overall a great experience

Overall experience has been good. Only complaint is the food. Temps are cold when [name removed] eats it. She stated to me it was ok but not great. Stated food repeats often + no choice in what to eat. Please note she is in memory care. We went to the dining room downstairs while I was there and the food was mediocre. Not great and I found it on the lukewarm side. Dessert was good. Care staff are good. Room size is good with lots of space.

Great staff, gorgeous building!!

My wife has resided at Memory Care at Sage Glendale for several months. Her incoming transition was difficult, as might have been expected. but the staff, especially [name removed], the Director, could not have been more helpful. He understood my wife's anxieties from the start, and assured me that he would oversee her comfort. In the first weeks my wife was confused, not sure why she found herself in a new home. But the staff, so considerate and warm, made her achieving her comfort much easier. Her idiosyncrasies were responded to, and she was gently guided towards the many activities and pleasures of living at Sage Glendale. My experience of the staff is that they are always ready to help, and smile often as they do their work. They got to know my wife quite quickly, and they seem to understand her, even in the confusion of her dementia. [name removed] is one of the med techs who frequently help out. [name removed] is also always solve problems and seek solutions.

Do not recommend

It's all really a phony façade. It looks and feels like a luxury hotel yet it is only the outside appearance. We spent three months at Sage and never once did I feel that my father was being taken care of properly at a [Amount Removed]/mo price tag. They were constantly understaffed and poor/slow to respond to any questions or concerns. The executive director position changed three times in the three months we were there and other management positions changed out as well. It was difficult to get my father's room cleaned at minimum once a week... in fact, it was three weeks that it took when we first moved in. I ended up having to hire a caretaker to stay with him, and to assist him with his medications, his shower, and care of his living space. When getting the initial tour, and even afterwards, all the wonderful descriptive words were used to convince me, and I'm sure others that they cared. I'll leave it at that for now since just writing this summary has made me quite sad. After moving my dad to another facility, he passed a month later. It is quite hard to remember those last few months. Traumatic better describes it.

Mostly good

Overall-4 Staff -mostly friendly and helpful but understaffed, overworked. Directors - not always aware of their duties because their predecessors leave no instructions. Activities - card games, exercises, outings, movies, visiting entertainment There are mall pets allowed. It's Nice and has clean decor. They have good housekeeping. They have yet to have a fire drill New culinary director and slightly better meals and open dining 7:30 to 6:00. Good room size. There has been a large turnover of directors.

When I arrived, the employees were all very welcoming and the facility is spotless. Some residence were making flower arrangements and seemed content in doing so. Other’s were having a conversation in the dining room having coffee, while I learned a lot of them were out on an excursion. The studio apartment was a good size with a kitchenette. The only reason I didn’t go with this facility is because it was too modern for my mother. I would happily live there.

Suitable and appropriate for those seniors in relative good health

The facility was near to my mother’s residence and close to her known contacts in the area and the facility seemed to meet all her needs – care, therapy, dining and hair salon. I believe Sage Glendale is a viable and suitable option to assisted living for residents that are ambulatory. My mother is not in that category

needs improvement all around

Dad and I had a rough first 4 weeks where almost nothing was done as promised (housekeeping, showers, linen and washing clothes). Like other new residents dad did not get the welcome they did...signage in the lobby and at apt. There was no communication between management, me and responsible care staff. Very difficult to communicate with the admin team. Message repeatedly to never get a response...frustrating. Also, errors on the bill and no easy path to correcting this. This sounds very negative and honestly it was initially. Things have improved as far as responsiveness and doing the tasks that are contracted. The excuses were numerous and yet ownership of the problems was not forthcoming. I can hope things continue to improve and it seems they will. It's hard to comprehend what it'll be like if we have to move dad.

Overall, the place was pretty great. There were some issues but they were dealt with, and the staff went out of their way to be accommodating in many ways. If I had it to do over again I would move my mom there again.

The good and the bad

I think Agemark is greedy, and pays as close to minimum wage as possible to their staff which is why they can't keep anyone very long. The rent is exorbitant, the decor is beautiful, the staff is great, the chef is a hoax.

Caring Staff

My mother needed respite care for about two weeks. [name removed] was very helpful and answered all my questions during a tour. We were able to get her situated and settled in a very short time with the facility providing transportation from hospital to Sage and also retrieving her belongings from her home. The facility has a great selection of activities though because of my mother's disability, she was not able to partake. Staff is very friendly. At the end of her two-week stay, there was confusion and difficulty between Sage and the hospital case worker in getting the appropriate reports from doctors for her release to go home. The process is broken. And communication with Sage became sparse. is it the hospital or Sage, I don't know. One suggestion - effort needs to be given to new clients on the parking situation on the street and how to access the underground garage easily.

Food is not good

Dining room is open from 7:30 to 7:00 but it seems chef has never opened a cookbook and doesn't care. My 1-br costs <fee removed>. $150 worth of gift cards disappeared from my room. There are no black residents so they just hired a second director of sales who is black in hopes of solving that problem. I estimate there are only About 50 residents and half are in Memory Care. 4 floors, 27 rooms per floor. Food was just as bad as [community removed] where staff was friendly but laundry was stolen. Management didn't care. Older, uglier building, smaller rooms, some without overhead lighting fixtures, one resident didn't even have a fridge in her studio. I'm 81 and the thought of moving again is out of the question. Never thought I'd die hating where I live. They all just want your money.

Disappointed and Sad!

I was so excited when I learned my father was going to be placed here. Now I am crying as I write this. Although we are paying for services I haven’t seen one person check on him. It’s been three hours. The place is a ghost town after 5pm. When I went to ask for help, the care giver was on her cell phone and didn’t acknowledge me. She then stated she’s the only one on the floor and it’s not even her floor. It breaks my heart to think that if my father falls (and he has) that he’s on the floor until someone finds him. Pretty much a staff member confirmed that’s the case. Where is the dignity in that? Where is the service for the money we’re paying? Where’s the care? I thought this place would be different, but I see that it’s not. At least not for the Memory Care Floor.

Sage Glendale

There has been a lot of staff turnover as of late, so a lot of newcomers and then the newcomers leave and more newcomers It makes it very difficult for residence to be more known by their caretakers and develop better relationships with their caretakers I have also found lapses in some basic things such as laundry The good thing is that when it is pointed out, it typically is addressed, but it does require staying on top of it Recently a change of ownership of Sage has occurred, and the transition was very bumpy. Very poor communication and substantial increases in cost. It created such an uproar that they caused on increasing the costs.

Would Recommend

It's very new. The people that work there are very patient and kind and did a job with my family member. They treated him with dignity and respect. They were good with my Mom and family. They put up with my requests for care or concerns for my loved one. They are a really good place. I would recommend them to someone who needed a place this. This is a place I would go if they had openings and I needed this type of help and care.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
