Not a fit for a dementia patient - more of an assisted living
The care was inadequate for someone with severe dementia. The problem is they don't have a doctor on site, just one nurse who I believe isn't even an RN. This was just not a good fit for my loved one. It might be a good fit for others with less care needs. Basically all they know how to do when someone starts having a dementia-related outburst is call 911. They're not set up to deal with that. But they didn't really say that upfront. Had I known this, it would have saved everybody a lot of trouble. Intake was a problem too.

I'm hopeful
We chose Drake Terrace because we took my mom her and she liked it, it was in a close and familiar area, and it is a medium size, not too big not too small. The facility also looks very nice and the staff members were very easy to work with. The room sizes here seem plenty big for what she needs. We have not experienced much yet but their social activities are starting to open back up, so we are excited about that. I would recommend to others looking.

A Happy Resident
On [date removed], I became a resident of Drake Terrace. From the first day, I felt at home. My apartment is lovely and comfortable. The staff is wonderful.....kind, patient and helpful. Even under the restrictions of Covid-19, they manage to provide activities while maintaining safety. Now that the dining room is open for dinner, I have met many friendly residents. I look forward to many happy, fulfilling years at Drake Terrace.

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Drake Terrace

Drake Terrace offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Drake Terrace 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
