Royal Oaks is a wonderful, new home for all who take the plunge into community living. What a great way to spend your time doing things you like and not having to take care of the sprinklers that don't work (someone else does that!) No more cooking if you don't want to or cleaning. Lots of special dining opportunities and entertainment and activities on and off campus. We are a wooded retreat yet close to shopping. What could be better than to have a beautiful place to live and a fantastic staff to care for us!

There's gold in these foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains - senior-living gold! Royal Oaks has a stunning campus of 15+ acres with California Live Oak trees and horses grazing across the road! Beautiful facilities! Friendly and interesting people with whom we've become close in just a couple of years! Caring staff people who have also become friends! Royal Oaks is a neighborhood as neighborhoods were meant to be. May 2024 There are three things about Royal Oaks I want to mention to you: 1. The people. The people on the staff are just special! Caring and responsive! The residents are people you'll want to get to know and appreciate! They are very good neighbors. This is a true neighborhood! 2. The place. The setting here is remarkable - eighteen acres of old growth oak and sycamore trees growing as they have for over a hundred years in a semi-rural community nestled at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains with Southern California climate! And even horses grazing lazily in the pasture across the road! 3. The "atmosphere." I would describe the atmosphere as good California vibrations! It's a place you feel good coming home to. People you want to sit down and talk with. To swap amusing and not always wholesome (nor even true) stories with. A fun place on a Saturday night! A place to be with that special someone!

I had the opportunity to visit many retirement communities many years before I ever thought I would ever live in one. I was volunteering with several friends when I walked onto Royal Oaks' campus. I had an immediate reaction to the Royal Oaks beauty and serenity. Both my friend and I said, "I could live here." Eight years later, after my husband passed, it was the first, and only, place I thought of. Once I moved in, I wasn't disappointed. When my well traveled husband spoke about the United States of America, he would say, "We're not perfect, but we're the best there is." That's how I feel about Royal Oaks, USA.

I have been visiting a friend at Royal Oaks Manor for several years, mainly the skilled nursing area. One of the first things I notice when entering the building is that it doesn’t have the ‘smell’ that I’ve encountered in so many facilities like this. It is beautifully appointed, landscaped well and the overall physical aspect of the facility is very pleasant. In the main building there are several sitting areas, one with a piano that anyone can use, and a large dining room. The food and the service at the dining room were just as eating at a nice restaurant. The wait staff are very good at meeting individuals needs- whether food related or physical comfort. My friend needed significant daily help and support by the nursing staff. I found them to be very professional, but also quite kind and caring. When issues would arise, they were generally resolved quite quickly. After years living here, there were some great friendships developed with the staff (myself included!), and even those that had moved on, from the organization, would continue to check in on my friend. There are plenty of activities taking place each day, to participate or not is completely up to the individual, but they will make sure you know about them and encourage you to join. And over this past year of lockdowns, The Manor made every possible effort to make sure residents had opportunities to connect with family and friends. From Video chats to window visits- they became very creative, all the while placing health & safety at the forefront and following state regulations. I know it was challenging- but they definitely went the ‘extra mile’. When the time arises for a family member, or myself, to have additional care, I will seriously consider Royal Oaks Manor at the top of the list.

My husband and I have lived at Royal Oaks for two and a half yeas. When we were researching the senior communities in our area, we had decided on a particular one. Doing due diligence, we made a trip to Royal Oaks and loved it from first sight. We have been thrilled with the fabulous food, wonderful new family of supportive friends and the offerings of any kind of activity one could possibly want. We felt so well cared for during the pandemic and our family is delighted to know that we can have our medical needs all handled right here. Amy Macklin
