The Landing at Carmichael

We moved our 90-year-old mother into The Landing at Carmichael over 3 weeks ago. My Mother and family were immediately impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, as well as the cleanliness and well taken care of facility. She had been in another independent living facility that was one level and it took a bit for my mother to navigate as this is two stories and larger. However, the staff (this includes EVERYONE, the Executive Director Aileen, Rea in reception, Juan in maintenance, housekeeping and culinary staff, Lily the chef personally introduced herself to us, I wish I could remember all of the names to give a shout out) have been wonderful, and were always friendly, courteous and helpful and assisted in her learning curve, she has now mastered the route she needs. She loves her unit and the view of the courtyard. The lunch and dinner meals have a lot of variety and use fresh ingredients. My mother is a modified vegetarian, and the culinary staff has worked to make sure she is comfortable with her choices. We shared a couple of minor challenges in her room and the maintenance staff immediately assisted in suggestions resolving them. She is still new and has not taken part in the MANY offered activities but is looking forward to trying them. I also want to mention the other residents have been welcoming as well, which I feel says a lot about the friendly environment the staff strives successfully to ensure.

My daughter chose the the landing as a surprise with a prearranged visit, and I'm glad she did! I've. been here two years and love it. The staff is joyful and efficient. The facility is super clean and modern. The chef and food staff are creative and make the best soups ever! (my favorite).I feel safe here and the other residents are kind and help to create the best community. There is plenty to do - if you want daily fun and activities. The Landing at Carmichael is my "home' in the best sense of the word, and Jonesie and Raiden, my two cats, are happy here too! Rachel Mournian

I’ve been at the Landing over 3 years and loving it. I employ a caretaker to help me and she is always welcome by the staff. I feel safe and very comfortable. The staff are courteous, gracious and very helpful. I have my meals delivered and feel very spoiled. There are many activities to participate in if you choose. I highly recommend living at this independent center. Update from my caretaker: Was 5 star. Edited as my lady had to go to board and care as she was in hospice. Even with a doctor's note that she had to move into 24 hour care, they would not let us out of a 60 days notice. I could understand 30 days, but 60!!!! Very unfair to the elderly especially when very ill.
