Several families express satisfaction with the activities and programs offered, noting that they are engaging and tailored to residents' needs. The facility's aesthetics, including spacious rooms and attractive decor, are frequently highlighted. Some reviewers commend specific staff members for their exceptional service and support, contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, there are significant concerns raised by other reviewers. Issues such as high staff turnover, inadequate communication, and questionable billing practices are mentioned repeatedly. Some families report neglect in care, including unclean living conditions, lost personal items, and unmet medical needs. The transition of residents to different care levels, such as from assisted living to memory care, is also a point of contention, with some feeling it was handled poorly. Additionally, there are allegations of falsified medical records and compromised privacy, which have led to stress and health deterioration for some residents. Overall, while some families have had positive experiences and recommend Elegance Berkeley, others advise caution due to management and operational challenges. The facility's ability to provide consistent, high-quality care appears to be affected by frequent changes in leadership and staff, leading to varied experiences among residents and their families.

After moving my mother here, into Assisted living, they almost immediately insisted she needed to move into Memory Care. - that is an entirely different thread. While under the care of Elegance, my mother degraded significantly - resulting in me filing complaints with the CA DSS . CA DSS substantiated 8 of my complaints against Elegance. While it took 1 year to get these complaints investigated by the state, it has finally concluded recently. I moved my mother out of Elegance 10months ago fortunately.

My mother was one of the first residents of Elegance Berkeley when it opened in Fall 2022, and I'm posting this review because I used to tell people how great it was. Unfortunately, there has been constant churn of personnel from the Executive Director to the staff level, replacing a management team that was warm, welcoming and communicative with a team that does not communicate well with families, engages in questionable billing practices, has high turnover/gaps in coverage of key roles, and does not resolve problems. The caregivers have been great, but many of them have now left. My mother was sometimes left in her room at meal times because there were not enough staff to bring her to the dining room, despite paying handsomely for that service. Yes, the building is new and pretty, but I would advise new families to keep looking elsewhere if they want stable care for their loved ones, and a responsive management structure.
