Better Living is very good, meeting all my expectations. The caregivers are very kind and attentive, trying hard to meet the need of all the residents. The owner is also very nice coming to visit once a while to assure the place is run smoothly.

The Better Living of Walnut Creek was a very nice place, it was clean and the people were friendly. My husband wanted a bigger place for his mother, and this place was a home so we ended up choosing something else, but this place was very nice and there was nothing wrong with it.

Verifiedexceptional
The have done an exceptional job making the transition smooth as my mother moved from another facility to this one. Mother is in hospice and will not likely be around much longer, but they have been simply outstanding and have taken great care of her. I give them my highest praise!

VerifiedStaff have compassionate attitude, they do a great job
I like the owner's and the care giver's compassion, humor, and attitude. They do a great job. The location works well for me, because it isn't too far. I live in Clayton. For activities, they have music, and some other activities. Different people come in and do music stuff. My father likes the fact that they're friendly, and they take good care of him. I highly recommend them.

VerifiedBeautiful yard front and back. The inside was all hardwood floors with no steps or ramps to deal with. Anabelle was wonderful and sat and talk to me about my mom and her needs. She had a master suite on hold for someone and waiting to hear if she's coming. Te bedroom was roomy and the bath had a shower that you can just walk into with no steps. It has a sliding glass door overlooking the backed deck and rose garden. I saw 2 residents , very friendly and happy..I did not see any meals being prepared or eaten during my time there.

Verified3 miles away from me. The home was beautiful inside and out. Residents were clean and neat. Back patio area was very inviting. Anabelle was very informative and caring. 2 caregivers on staff who lived in the residence. Helen and Chan. They have worked for Anabelle for a long time. Piano player comes in to play music and an activity director comes in to plan and conduct activities based on residents' levels. Has a hospice waiver- can care for terminal residents. All rooms are private. Dr. who does house calls for an extra fee or I can take her myself or coordinate with the staff to take her. Staff has first aid and dementia training. Own two other houses 10 and 15 years in the business. Visiting hours 10 am. to 8 pm. alarms on all doors and fenced yard for safety. Can either perform or share responsibilities of Dr. visits, hair cuts, etc. Can accommodate diabetic diets. No vacancy at this time.

VerifiedMet with the caregiver here. We did not meet w the administrator. While we were not wild about this facility, they DO have a very nice room avalable, which is a nice size, sunny, and has a v nice closet. They rest of the house was a bit tired feeling. There was a very nice patio with a garden with roses and veggys. We felt this might be worth another look.
