Eaton Senior Communities

Helpful and caring service. Great facilities. Thank you!

My 90 year old grandmother has been living here for about five years and we have been very pleased. The staff are very caring and they offer a lot of fun activities to keep the residents engaged and facilitate a community. The apartments are nice and good sized. The only downsides are the food which can be a bit redundant and sometimes not so good and the heat and water seem to be troublesome at times. But nothing putting anyone at risk. I would recommend this place to others.

When I had to move my then 90-year old mom from California to Colorado so that she'd be closer to me, I was worried: she LOVED the senior residence she was in there. And it was small, family-like, gracious, near the ocean--could a larger place like Eaton ever 'compete'? Yes, and it won. My mom, now 92, is very happy there, and we are both extremely impressed with both parts of the community--yes, both: she started out in Independent Living, and after about 8 months and a few health events, needed to move to Assisted Living. I had thought this might come about, and had selected Eaton partly because it has both types, and gives preference to residents if there's a waitlist. There was--but in the time it took my mom to go through the hospitalization and rehab, they had found her a lovely place in Assisted Living, and I had moved her furniture and most treasured possessions from the original 1-bedroom apartment to this buffet apartment. When she came home from the hospital, she saw the new place for the first time--and almost cried, saying, "I never dreamed it would be like this--it feels like HOME!" Old friends from Independent Living were not lost, as both communities share the same church services, and many of the activities, from guest music programs and speakers to shopping trips. So it wasn't "yet another brutal uprooting" to move to Assisted Living, and she made the adjustment easily and happily. In AL, the helpers are skilled and knowledgeable, and best of all: respectful and loving. They know the people they take care of there are not 'patients' but 'residents'; they may advise safe and healthy actions,but they don't impose them, knowing these seniors are people who've spent a lifetime learning their own needs and capacities, and making choices,and living with consequences. Eaton is helpful to people experiencing some of the aspects of memory reduction, hearing loss, mobility impairment, and such, but is not tooled up for Alzheimers or severe memory care,
