    Comfortable cottage with caring staff

    My father has been very comfortable and relaxed here. The small, home-like cottage is clean and well-maintained, with attentive, caring staff (special thanks to Helen and Joy) who provide hands-on nursing care, outdoor activities and tasty Asian meals. It can feel a bit cramped, and family communication is occasionally spotty and vacancy info unclear, but overall I highly recommend it for the friendly, caring team and comfortable atmosphere.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is positive, with strong and consistent praise for the staff and the quality of day-to-day care. Multiple reviewers describe the personnel as friendly, caring, attentive, and hands-on; several specifically name staff members (Helen and Joy) and express appreciation for the way they made family members comfortable and relaxed. Nursing care and personal assistance are repeatedly noted as strengths, and at least one reviewer explicitly states that their father was content and well cared-for. The facility is often described as comfortable, with reviewers calling it a "cute cottage house" that feels home-like rather than institutional.

    Facility upkeep and cleanliness are frequently highlighted. Reviewers compliment the property as clean and well-maintained, and the small size/low occupancy is seen as a benefit because it supports a more personalized level of attention. The cottage-style environment and small occupancy appear to contribute to feelings of comfort and relaxation for residents; reviewers emphasize that the setting is "home-like" and that staff provide hands-on care rather than distant oversight.

    Dining and activities receive positive mentions as well: reviewers note pleasant-smelling lunches and that Asian food options are available and appreciated. Outdoor activities are also listed among the positives, suggesting there are at least some programs or opportunities for residents to spend time outside. Several reviewers remark that the overall atmosphere is comfortable and that their family members enjoy the environment.

    Despite the overwhelmingly favorable comments, there are some recurring concerns to note. A few reviewers mention occasional communication lapses—though communication is generally described as good, there are isolated instances where information flow to families could be better. Another concrete issue raised is that vacancy or listing information is unclear, which caused confusion for at least one prospective family. The facility's small physical footprint is a double-edged sword: while small occupancy supports individualized care, some reviewers describe the locale as cramped, and one reviewer indicated they were still looking, implying the space or layout may not suit every resident's needs.

    In summary, Evergreen Cottage By Serenity Care Health appears to deliver strong, person-centered care within a small, home-like setting. Staff performance—both clinical and interpersonal—emerges as the facility's standout strength, backed up by consistent reports of cleanliness and maintenance. Dining and outdoor opportunities add to the positive living environment. Areas for improvement include clearer vacancy/listing information and addressing occasional communication gaps with families; prospective residents and families should also be aware that the facility's compact size may feel cramped to some and might not meet everyone's space preferences. Overall, reviewers who placed loved ones there felt comfortable recommending the facility based on the quality of care and the personal attention residents receive.

The facility is secure and designed to help those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with special programming and a separate memory care section, alarms to prevent wandering, and staff who understand how to help folks with behavioral or cognitive issues; they welcome those at risk of wandering or who struggle with behavior, and tailor care plans for different memory challenges. A small community size helps residents get more personal attention, and the atmosphere feels friendly and calm, with staff who often speak several languages, including Chinese, Filipino, Mandarin, and English, while professional help like nurses, podiatrists, dentists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists are available to meet different health needs. Seniors join in daily activities, social gatherings, activities like devotional events, birthday or holiday parties, and can relax in a TV lounge or common room, and for those who need high-speed internet, cable, and community Wi-Fi, those are included as well. Evergreen Cottage has over 35 years of medical experience and more than a decade of assisted living operations under Serenity Care Health, and the facility stays licensed by the State of California, keeping up with regular internal quality checks and strict staff screening. Residents and families can expect a clean, comfortable, and safe space with help close by day and night, and if someone needs a break, respite care is offered for short-term stays, and hospice is available too, with plenty of support for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory needs, aging in place, and a range of services for changing health needs. Resident parking, complimentary transportation, grocery and errand services, move-in help, emergency alert systems, and security measures are all present to support residents while letting them enjoy some independence, and with flexible care ranging from independent living and companion care to skilled nursing, memory care, and diabetes support, the focus always leans toward health, safety, and comfort, in a setting where people can feel at home.
