I cannot express enough how wonderful the team at Aljoya Thornton Place is. The staff members are incredibly caring and compassionate, always going above and beyond to ensure the residents feel valued and supported. Their dedication is evident in the improved lifestyles of the residents, who enjoy a higher quality of life thanks to the team's efforts. The environment is warm and welcoming, making it a truly exceptional place for seniors to live. Highly recommend!
My mother lived here and absolutely loved it. She moved in her early 70's and made the best friends of her life. It feels to me more like a high end condominium community with all the heath services vs. a seniors living but residents ranged from 60's -100's. Amazing service, programming, food, health support, security, doctor's on site, wellness clinic, fitness & pool, hair salon, library, outdoor seating, walking distance to retail & restaurants for variety, etc. Feels like a resort and very well maintained.
We’re residents and love it here. We’re spoiled by great food, service, housekeeping, and valet parking delivered by friendly professional staff. The community is wonderful with lots of fun activities and lectures. We love our apartment and are happy to let someone else handle all the maintenance.
I am posting this on behalf of myself and my wife, Adriana, who wrote this review: Aljoya has been a wonderfully warm and welcoming community for not only my mother, who suffers from dementia and even at the beginning of her residency could not remember people’s names and how to get from one place to another, but also for us, her family. As an only child I was concerned about my mother continuing to live by herself. I knew that, although I was with her frequently and doing things with her, I could not possibly give her the care and activities I knew she would need. Mom and I had visited other retirement communities and mom was very adamant that she did not like their environments or décor. For my own part, I wasn't very encouraged about either what we'd seen or by my mother's reaction. One day, after our weekly routine of shopping at Northgate, mom suggested we visit Aljoya. We made an appointment and the moment we walked in mom smiled, breathed in the aroma of the espresso in the Bistro and said “This is it!” She was of course very impressed by the elegance in the décor and the bright warm colors. (She often complained that most of the other facilities were depressing in colors etc.) What impressed me the most were the employees. To this day, 2 ½ years later, the employees are the most amazing group of people of all ages who always have a smile, who greet everyone by name and enthusiastically always try to do something to help residents and visiting family members. The Wellness center, headed by Annie Atienza R.N., who is our number one “Angel,” as my mother calls her, and all of her staff have become an extension of our family. They monitor mother daily and all of her vitals and are sure not only to watch over medical needs but also her psychological and emotional needs. It is clear that Eli and Rebecca Almo and their amazing son, Jacob, have approached the creation of their facility as though they were creating a home for one of their own family members. They have not overlooked a single detail, from the outstanding staff that they hire and train to the smallest details of fresh flowers on the dining room tables to bowls of fresh fruit available to the residents as they wander throughout the complex. The Almos are an extremely caring family, who are concerned about their residents from the day they walk in to the days that follow as some residents become more frail or ill. They have been a huge and very responsive support system to my family. I truly do not know what I would do or where I would have been able to turn in these recent months as my mother has continued to decline. At Aljoya the Almos have created a positive caring community. From those who work there to the other residents who live there, Aljoya has provided a welcoming neighborhood that surrounds my mother with life, love and caring. In many respects, giving up living "on her own" in her later years has been a gain and a blessing, not an ever increasing struggle. It has in fact brought her new comforts, new security and a new environment of great beauty. Because of Aljoya, the staff and the Almos my mother will be able to live her last days in a warm and friendly atmosphere with exceptional nursing care and surrounded by her own personal possessions and family by her side. We can’t thank everyone enough for all that they do every day and what they have done these past 2 ½ years.
