Our mom (91) is so happy at Bixby Knolls Towers! She has a beautiful apartment with a gorgeous view. She thinks the meals served at BKT are delicious! "I get fresh fruit every day! " The residents are all very nice and the staff is rapid in their response to give assistance. What's best is that the facility is clean and well-maintained. Tons of joyful activities and a beautiful rose garden too. We could not be happier!

Our parents have lived in the Tower for 4 years, recently moving to the "B" building for assisted living. We have found the staff to be kind, caring and with little turnover - which is something very important to consider. The views from the upper floors of the Tower are amazing- unlike anything in most of L. A, food is quite good- we even had our family Christmas dinner in the dining room- which was delicious and enjoyable. The tower is in the midst of renovations and it will be quite nice when complete. Location is excellent, you can walk around gardens on the premises or in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood.

BKT is a great place. Some folks complain about everything. It is clean, has good, quality food, fun entertainment and plenty of social events. I believe the price is fair. My Mom has lived there 7 years and she is very happy - couldn't be in a safer place and it gives me great peace of mind. If she wants to dine out when I visit, there is a great variety of charming restaurants on Atlantic Avenue. The neighborhood is great too.

As a resident of nearly 5 years. I was surprised that someone has been here 2 year was so vehement and critical. As with any building repairs are needed and we are fortunate that's this can be accomplished while we live here. Yes so inconvenience but rather that then have to sebe uprooted and moved while it happens. At lease it is being upgraded and repaired. Some landlords patch and make due. We are getting new elevator and other fixtures as needed. I can handle a little inconvenience it's my home and I am here to stay.

My two daughters and I selected Bixby Towers for my senior living facility for several reasons, among them the location, the monthly rental plan, six different floor plans for units; 21 meals a week, housekeeping and transportation services and the activities and entertainment offered. I have lived at Bixby for 14 months and have been very satisfied with the experience. Bixby was built in 1962 and has issues that come with a facility of that age. The maintenance staff responds to incidents quickly and efficiently. There are management employees on the premises seven days a week and staff employees are well trained and helpful. Replacement of the elevators has caused inconveniences to residents and staff alike, but management has made every effort to alleviate the waits. Everyone will be very glad when there are two functioning new elevators. Overall my three children and I are pleased that I chose Bixby and with my experiences here.

Bixby Knolls does a solid job of providing housing, meals, daily activities, and safety to residence. They work hard to select good employees who constantly care for the residents. The administration goes the extra mile to address concerns. Anyone who lives in an aging building must adjust expectations on the reality of a building. If someone wants all the bells and whistles of a new building, they can call around. However, you will not like the price and may not like the staff. We have a dear loved one in the building who has been a resident for many years. She has received care beyond our expectations. We will continue to be grateful to Jeannie and her wonderful staff.
