I have lived at Santa Maria Terrace since May 2021. Not long after i became an Ambassador and later on Resident Council President. I represent the residents in all their issues that arise over their stay here. Most problems they have are minoe ones , but no matter how small the issue , I handle them all.The people who live here are good folks, and the staff is the best I have dealt with . If you want to live somewhere that is safe and cozy, Santa Maria terrace is the place for you/

My dad has lived at the Santa Maria Terrace for about 10 years and it has been the best experience for him. Meals, laundry, and room cleaning are all provided. What I really like is how caring the staff is. My dad has good relationships with all the people that help him. He has made good friends among the community as well. My dad still drives and they are great at keeping track of who is out for the day and when they return for the safety of the residents. Some have deeper needs which they provide attention to if needed. There’s always community activities. My dad enjoys the ice cream socials and card games. I love that they can arrange special gatherings for family and friends for birthdays and other celebrations. Always good food and fun on holidays.They can provide transportation for doctors appointments if needed and sometimes arrange transportation to various community events. I am so pleased with the Terrace. I’m so grateful that my dad is among caring staff and is safe and happy.
Staff are amazing and all help take good care of our Dad. I want to specifically mention; Jennifer, Amy, Elsa, Jasmin, Mike and Vanessa. The kitchen staff are too numerous to mention individually but do a great job. The staff that clean the rooms are fantastic. Everyone is friendly. We are very happy with SMT!
The facility is clean, homey, and welcoming! The staff never failed to assist us with the move in for my father Thomas. All were very courteous, compassionate and understood our needs. Michelle was with us every step of the way to help Navigate the paperwork and facility setup. I can’t thank them enough for all they did.
