The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens

I helped my mom make the transition to the Terraces this summer, and it has been a wonderful experience. I don't hesitate to recommend the Terraces to anyone, and I am thankful my mom is living there. The staff is exceptional and they are with you every step of the way through your application and move in. They are not pushy - they are helpful and genuine. The most lovely people. My mom has settled in well and one short month later feels part of the community. The residents at the Terraces are just as phenominal as the staff! They are friendly and welcoming. For example, if someone is sitting alone at dinner, it won't be long before they are invited to sit with a group of others who are eating together. The Terraces offers a long list social activities and exercise classes. I often say to my mom that the Terraces feels like a little bit of heaven on Earth. And an unexpected benefit I look forward to is having the Terraces be my mom's partner in the aging process. It is not just a place to live, but a team of loving, helpful, knowledgeable, professionals who will be a source of information and support over the years. I could say so much more about our fabulous experience, and I am wondering when they will open a Terraces community for young professionals with kids. I'd move in!

I moved into The Terraces in June of 2022,and I love it. The management is great and I enjoy my lovely apartment in the Tuscany area. After ruthlessly downsizing my possessions, I feel at home without all the worries of repairs and maintenance. I have everything that I need. What I particularly enjoy is not having so many bills to pay each month. Included in our monthly rent is basic cable T.V., PG&E, water & garbage, all meals, housekeeping, and access to a small onsite market where we can purchase items with our food points This is one of the best decisions I have made in my senior years!!!!!

TSJG is a really great place to come to and live and know your worries about home maintenance is gone. There is a place for you to fit in very easily here no matter if you are fully able to do anything to needing help. CCRC's are really wonderful here and the care for people is exceptional. Love the staff and love the response from Alexa on any problem. They are fully transparent about where our $'s are going on a monthly basis and I really appreciate that. We just left our place for a 6 week vacation to Spain and Scotland and we came home to our place and it was clean and spotless. No worries while we were gone.

After discussing our personal goals for the last couple of decades of life, my husband Fred and I researched several retirement places. We soon learned about HumanGood and began researching almost all of them. We lived 1 hour from Fresno and were happy that The Terraces is right here in "our" Fresno. We eventually focused on this one location and then really dug in with our research. We met with Sales people(Ruthie, Robyn and Emilee are amazing and beyond helpful really!) Ruthie suggested we do the financial analysis to start and I highly recommend that. You just don't know if you qualify. I found that part to be confusing but Ruthie was excellent at helping us review our finances. We also needed to sell our home and , she factored that in to our analysis. We then saw how easy this is---of course selling the home and moving the stuff is tough if you let it be. So--we put a deposit on a certain floor plan here at the Terraces, we put the house on the market and our home sold to the first person in a day or two. We called Ruthie and said "EEK" we sold fast and have to move....our deposited place was not yet available, but she was undeterred. She said, come on over I will think of something! She and Alexis had it all figured out---and we are now in a different floor plan in a different building than we expected, but we are very very happy! Gentle Transitions company was very good and fast!(packing and unpacking) What a help that was. I chose not to get to overwhelmed by the move. We are actually amazed at our peace and happiness here....yes we miss what we left, but we do not have to take care of property and home. Here, we can have our alone time in our apartment, we can have lots of social things if we want, or we can just walk about the grounds which are amazingly beautiful. I am happy to answer questions and concerns, you can arrange that through the Sales office if necessary. Thank You Terraces staff----Peggy Cochran
