We picked this community, for our loved one because it is very clean, with friendly people. It's a great place. I liked my tour experience.

My brother lived at this facility for 10 years (by choice) prior to his passing this [date removed] from cancer. His experience here brought him comfort, security, peace, and happiness. He felt loved and cared for but not smothered. He had his independence but also had people there to support him and tend to his daily needs. He made friends that became like family. The facility is older but very clean, and organized. The staff is amazing! They are such authentically kind, wonderful people. I am happy to have met them all and thankful they were part of my brother's life.

We were very pleased with the experience that my loved one had here. The staff are very friendly. I felt that the community was a like a family and it felt right at home. The staff were right on top of the medication for my loved, the care was outstanding they provided, and they even reached out to the doctor when needed on my loved one's behalf. [Name removed] personality was caring and friendly and made us feel right at home. I would highly recommend South Bay Senior Living to others.

Very bright community, it feels very comfortable and more uplifting then the last place my loved one was in, the staff was extremely helpful and supportive during the transition. Its wonderful overall and a great value for the cost.

They are trying to keep activities going and are adapting to covid. It's a wonderful facility, the staff is nice helpful and supportive. The facility has a driver to take them to Dr. appts and pick up his medication. I would recommend this community.

My Father is here currently and he loves it! He even cut hair here for 20 years before actually moving in. Of course he’d rather be home, but he says he’s extremely well taken care of, he likes the food, there are lots of activities, he’s been kept busy, and it’s really been an easy transition. He was working up until recently and he didn’t want to go to a “home” and so far, to him, it hasn’t felt like a home. He doesn’t seem to have a problem with the staff and he likes the administrator, he even knows a few ladies that work there at the front desk. I do have one tiny complaint, though. In the evenings, between 5 and 6:30, they seem to be relatively short staffed and you get switched back and forth between the two buildings. There was one instance that happened but it’s been taken care of since. They’re very easy to deal with, very polite, and other than the one glitch, I’ve had no issues whatsoever. There are exercises every day that he can do, bingo, and games. There’s an activity room and a TV room that he can go to and visit with everyone. They play movies and have popcorn, he can have ice cream whenever he wants it, and they provide 3 meals a day with snacks in between. They’re very accommodating and everything has been kept clean. If there’s any situation, I can email/call/talk to [Removed], the administrator, immediately. If there are any questions or problems, it’s taken care of right away. I would recommend them.

I wish Mom could still be there. This place is such a gem. It felt good to have her in such a warm and nurturing place. Unfortunately, Mom requires skilled round-the-clock nursing now. But we remain forever grateful to Sunnyside Retirement Center. Please don't confuse it with the nursing center. We have also used them. Our experience with the nursing center, while not as stellar as the retirement center was also not as bad as what the negative reviewer is stating.

Our family has had a good experience so far, we haven't had any issues with the care services and the staff members have been very nice. The meal services is on time, the food looks to be healthy and nutritious. We don't know to much about the activities because our loved one does not really participate, but they do try their best to incorporate card games and bingo during the days. For the money each month, we do think the value for cost is worth it.

Everything is great except the meals are not 100% to my liking.

Sunnyside Retirement is a bit further from my home than I'd planned to travel, but it was a place that can accommodate seniors in various stages of need. They are adjacent to a rehab facility and down the block from a skilled nursing long term care, although there is no guarantee that a bed would be available. Sunnyside was pleasant and the rooms were furnished nicely. I also liked that the eating area had assigned seating. They have 4 levels of care for extra services, and seem geared to providing that care. [Removed], the woman at the desk, took me around and answered all my questions. She even brought over a caregiver to explain how they care for residents. It's apparent why they have no vacancies at present!

Won't take dialysis patients.

Sunnyside is a community I would consider for my mother. It's costs a bit more than our budget but I feel my mother would be more comfortable here.It's a smaller community, with only 50 residents.

The bad review about the person there only 4 days appears to apply NOT to the Retirement Center, but the Rehab next door. They have separate staff. Mom & I toured last weekend and the activities director there (15 years) was great, the place seemed clean, wide hallways, large rooms & bathrooms (plenty for private, sufficient for shared). Available furniture looked really nice. Nice large dining, activity & TV rooms. Private rooms have sliding door to outside landscaped areas & patio. Bldg is in a square, so there is a large landscaped quad outside. Price was good. Provides assisted living, but not serious dementia care, and no residents confined to wheelchair or bed.

My tour here was different the staff did their best but there was a lot of remodeling going on and I just did not feel like this would work out at all. Besides the location was too far from my friends and all my medical doctors.

The staff at this facility were very helpful and professional. It's clean and looks well run. The residents all seemed content. It's very reasonably priced but is showing alot of wear.
