Avista Senior Living Magnolia was really nice and pretty modern. My uncle would have loved going there. They had a veterans club and a lot of activities. I liked the rooms. They were very clean and open. I liked the staff, too. They were extremely nice. Then they had a dining area that was pretty big and pretty nice. They displayed the food that they were going to be serving for the next meal, which I think was great, so they could see what was in their selection.

Avista Senior Living Magnolia was a friendly place. It's a little bit older, not as modern, and it doesn't quite have the hotel feel to it. Or if it does, Avista place is kind of like a Best Western whereas the other two places are like Hiltons and a little more luxurious. But it was very clean, very friendly, and welcoming.
The rooms were spacious and I like the size of them better, but the shower was not a roll-in shower. With my father being in a wheelchair, a very important thing for us is that he can roll into the shower. They did not have those at Avista.
What I like about them is that they took people offsite to like the Elks Lodge or the American Legion. They had a choir that would sing at other places, so they load up on the bus and go to other places and entertain other groups of people. I like that, and I thought that was fun. They had a library, a game room, laundry facilities for people who wanted to do their own laundry, and they had computers in the library. The people there were incredibly welcoming. The residents seemed very happy.

There were several things why we chose Avista Senior Living Magnolia for my mom. One was it's close to my home, another one was it's very clean, and lastly it was more reasonably priced than anything else that I found. The people are also very caring and very kind. There are a lot of services that are included in the rent. They're a little bit short-staffed right now, but if you need them, they come right away.
They offer a lot of things. They have a gym, a hair salon, a little store where you can buy necessities, and they are geared towards veterans (as they have a lovely setting in their lobby for the veterans). It's an excellent location. You could go to the market (it's only about half a mile away), there are plenty of facilities to get fast food and things like that. So, it's very convenient.

We toured Avista Senior Living Magnolia. It was the least expensive of the places we toured, and it actually has a special going on right now, a promotion for the month of October, and it's still offered. It has the best price for a decent-size one-bedroom place. The community fee was also the least expensive. The shower area for the assisted living just has a small step to step over. In a couple of the other places, it was actually a bathtub and shower, so you had to be able to step over the ledge for a bathtub. It also had a balcony. It's transportation was a pretty good 20-mile radius. They also have a nurse on duty, so if anything were to happen, like a fall, the nurse would evaluate. All of that added up seems to be the best.
There's one thing, and that is a minor thing, in the other places, if you miss one of the three main meals, they have a menu that includes real meals, things like omelettes or a chicken plate, whereas this place doesn't. It only has sandwiches and snacks. So that was kind of a downside, but it's small compared to everything else. The staff was great. They were fine. It's an older building, but the upkeep and maintenance were good.

Avista Senior Living Magnolia has a community that is friendly, alive, living, full of life, very pleasant, and comfortable. They were a little more than adequate. It's an older place, but it's welcoming. Everyone that we've met was very pleasant and very friendly. It's a larger place than we had expected, but it was clean. It wouldn't get boring because it's larger. The dining area was very nice, very pleasant, and very inviting. They had parking, balconies, and an outdoor area, like a community place. They have karaoke. They have family get togethers. They have dancing and live music. We were actually greeted by people who lived there and said this is a great place to live (which no other place we went to did that).

My mother is in Avista Senior Living Magnolia. They have a gym, they have theaters, then they have concerts. They have a lot of stuff, and they have a schedule. They even take them out and go shopping, so they get transportation to go shopping. They're able to go in and out whenever they want. They don't need to ask for permission, it's enough to let them know that they're going to be gone for a while. Her room is very nice. It looks like an apartment, and it's a two-bedroom, so she can have somebody there with her. But she has the master bedroom, a walk-in closet, and her own bathroom. Then they have another bathroom and another room. Then they have the living room, balcony, and a little kitchen with a counter, sink, and a refrigerator. It's a really nice place. We're actually happy and she's happy there.

It was very nice. Everybody was very pleasant. I have no issues at all, but the rooms weren't suited for my father-in-law. The rooms were just too small. Everybody was very nice. Everything is limited because of COVID, but it appears on paper that they have a lot of activities. The facility appeared nice.

Everything was fine, and we're going to put my brother-in-law there. The staff is very friendly. It's very clean, and we had family there before, so we had a good idea what we were expecting when we took the tour and it hasn't changed. We liked it, and he seems to like it as well. Dining was like ordering off of a menu at a restaurant.

It was nice, but the price was way out of my range. Everything was very nice, but it's not close to the freeway. They had a place for families to do activities or a lunchroom, which was very nice looking and clean. The rooms were spacious, nice and clean looking as well.

It had senior living and assisted living, so you can get more help. The staff was wonderful. The parking there was horrendous though, and I really struggled with it, but I wasn't unhappy with it. It was a nice place. They offer quite a few activities for people with different abilities, so that's a good thing. They were having a music hour after lunch when I was there, and all the residents appeared to be happy. They have a bus that comes and takes them places which was helpful. The dining area was very nice and had a variety of food. You could have basics or specials, and there's usually two or three choices.

I really like the 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment on the third floor. It has a living room unit. It's a nice and airy room that's very clean, and I'm very happy with it. The plan they have for my husband and myself is excellent, and I'm very happy with the price and what it's going to cost. The people are very nice, they kept answering my questions about whether I could bring this or that. They're very pleasant and seemed to be very nice. We had a meal there and the food was quite good. I'm quite happy with the program. They provide three meals a day for assisted living. The closets in the apartment were very large. The master bedroom has two windows, which are quite nice, and the patio has a very good view up on the third floor. The middle bedroom can be used for your computer and that kind of stuff, and the living room is more adequate for a couch and all the living room stuff. The kitchen is a nice size for what we are allowed to have. One of the bathrooms has a bath tub and the other one in the master bedroom has a shower. They're quite large and adequate. Everybody I met was friendly, smiling, laughing, and talking to me. I saw the menu on the day that I visited, and for lunch I had soup, meat, vegetables, and a dessert; it was very nice. They have a very good exercising area, the chapel was beautiful, they have facilities for large parties, and the lobby was nice. The facilities I saw were excellent.

My mother is no longer here, she was there for 2 years. It was nice. Out of the three communities in the Corona area, it was the oldest and the most inexpensive, but it is still quite nice. I think my mom was happy there. They tried to do what they could to have activities and parties. They did a nice job. They have parties and music program. They have a lot of themed parties. They have outings where they take them to the movies, to plays, to drives and things like out to dinner and out to breakfast. It is not all the time, but a few times a month. Sometimes they take them to the beach or if there were concerts at the park, they would take them to those. With the staff they had, I felt like they did the best they could trying to have something to do at least once a week. I felt my concerns were addressed which I appreciated when my mom started to have some more health issues at different times.

It had independent and assisted living. It's an older place but still very nice and very clean. Everybody was very friendly. We saw some activities, like a choir group, when we were there. We didn't see the food, but the dining area looked very nice.

It was delightful. Everything was really nice. We appreciated how we were treated. They showed us the facilities and had a couple of units which could be doable. They had food and would clean your room and clothes. They had a registered nurse on the property, activities listed, and a van.

My dad moved in over a month ago. We’re somewhat happy with it, but we can’t ask for everything we need right at this moment. They took us in at the very last minute. He got here on and moved in the following day, so they did the best they could. I can’t really give them five stars because there are quite a few things that need to be fixed. The staff people are friendly and courteous, but there’s one incident in particular that I was kind of concerned about; my dad slipped and fell right beside his bed, so he pulled the emergency cord that they have in the room and no one responded. He’s not hurt, just a little sore, but if nobody’s answering that cord, then there’s a problem. According to them, it was a busy night where they had some additional calls, and somehow they didn’t get to my dad right away. I don’t think that’s the case, so I can’t rate them highly. I think they’re OK right now and doing the best they can.

It was clean. They were very professional. Their whole dining thing was awesome. It was like going into a 5-star hotel. The apartments were very nice. I would definitely recommend it.

My brother is here and it is very nice. The staff is friendly. Most of them are helpful. My brother is in the assisted living, and he is in a shared room, but he didn't have a roommate yet. I think the room is very pretty. The dining area is very pretty inside, and they sit you with other people so you can be more social. He doesn't do any of the activities, but they have a number of activities that people can do.
I will recommend this community. I like the fact that they have a bus because he has doctor's appointments, and he needs transportation back and forth. It is very helpful. Also, the majority of the staff is very friendly. However, sometimes he needs more assistance than they are equipped for -- like lifting. They don't have a lift, and sometimes I think it is a little hard for the people to lift him, but they are always friendly.

It was the most cost effective for my mother. Overall, we are very pleased. They have exercise, cocktail hours every Friday, singers come in, bonfires, bible studies, knitting groups, and drama clubs. They have parties for birthdays and special holidays. They have field trips. If I couldn't go with her to the doctor, they would take her. It's very highly recommended.

I had visited. It was lovely and very nice. It was very convenient. It was right up the historical part of town, and it was just a beautiful place.

It was wonderful. It was great. The gal who gave us the tour and actually told us about the facility took her time and showed us around. It was amazing! I would highly recommend the facility to anyone. I was proud to walk in there, was proud when I left and would be proud to walk my sister in there.

It is really nice. People are really great. Everything was nice about the facility, the building, the dining hall, and the rooms. They have activities like bingo and yoga. Grandma could just go down to dining hall and get her three squares a day and not have to worry about a thing. If she calls, they come and take care of her needs. I'd definitely recommend it.

It was an absolutely beautiful facility. The staff were very good, attentive and caring. The administrator was awesome. The food was good and they had lots of activities. My mother-in-law was quite happy there until her dementia worsened and she needed more care.

It was a small facility but it was too far from where I lived. I liked it if not for the location.

From the outside the facility is very accommodating. The building looks modern. I did not particularly like the staff. They rarely smiled and they did not feel very welcoming to people visiting their relatives. Other than that they were great with my great grandmother and I did feel she was in safe hands. The room she was in was smaller than I would have liked as it would be pretty crammed when my friends brought there families to visit her. They never treated my great grandmother with any sort of disrespect, even though her brain had been affected by the stroke and she it was fairly difficult for her to communicate all of the time. I would recommend this facility to another person if they do not mind not having a huge room to stay in with a basic 19 inch television. The main reason my mother chose this facility was that it was about a mile from our house. We did not visit or tour any other facilities.
