Went with the best

This retirement community and staff is incredible and I wish I would have moved my mom here first instead of choosing the least expensive one. The amount I paid to move her again would have saved me the money! She’s actually happy now and what more could you ask for.

Review for Julian Estates

If you are bored it is your fault. There is always something to do. The food is delicious and a good variety. The building is beautiful and the management is awesome. They absolutely love each and every one of us and work so hard to make our lives happy.

A Wonderful World!

My Mom (88 yrs young) recently moved into Julian Estates, after veiwing a total of 6 other local retirement centers. The staff, from front office admin to cleaning personnel, cooks, to maintenance are all wonderful! Every time I have visited, I've been greeted with smiling faces, even the other residents are so friendly! They made my mom feel so welcomed and comfortable, even before she actually moved in. She's been there a few months now, and haven't seen her this happy in quite some time. It sure brings happiness

I was so impressed with my stay

I would rate Julian Estates a 5 plus! On the value, I can't really rate if it is a good value for the money because I wanted to move there because of its proximity to my family and didn't check out any other facilities. Overall I loved living there and I loved the Administration, staff and residents. Very sad to leave. I really enjoyed the cleanliness of the facility and having a dedicated housekeeper to clean once a week. The laundry room was also spotless- a fact I appreciated when I did my own laundry. The meal
