Cliff View Terrace

The director, [Name Removed], and the on-staff doctor, Doctor are great [Name Removed], and her caretaker, [Name Removed] too. I get daily updates. There's more attention paid to the patients. More monitoring of the patients. Medications are only used when needed but most of the medications my mom had from oak cottage discontinued. Visitations are scheduled and the patient is monitored to make sure they don't regress and become agitated. It seems to be a higher level of care than she was receiving at her prev

A wonderful place

They were and are wonderful. Everyone who works there is stellar, and have worked there for years, and having a medical director who listens to your needs is great!

It's a wonderful place!

My mother is a difficult resident so doesn't participate in activities or leave her room and I find the staff to be so patient and caring with her. It's a beautiful and immaculate and caring place and some of the staff have been there since the late 80s, which says a lot about how well it's run

Great haven for later in life

My loved one has passed away last year. But she was in a great location and facility at the end. Based on the experience we had with Cliff View Terrace we would 100% recommend this community to other families.

I Highly Recommend This Professionally-Run Care Home

The care home is an immaculate, beautiful facility and the staff is very professional and many of them have been there since the 80s. Our family is so happy with the great care there. Also, as I understand it, it's the only care home in Santa Barbara that has a physician on staff and he's board certified in geriatrics.
