June 12, 2023Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you have enjoyed your experience at Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles.
From my experience, overall I would rate Sakura Gardens a 5 stars. The experience was short - but everyone was very courteous there. The community itself is very clean and everything is easily accessible - it is like their own little condensed world. Based on the experience we have had so far we would absolutely recommend Sakura Gardens to other families.

May 5, 2023Hi Anonymous, we are so glad our team could exceed all of your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive review for our community! We look forward to seeing you again at Sakura Gardens at Los Angeles.
Sakura Gardens is a special place that is beautiful and peaceful, although it is right near downtown Los Angeles. The koi pond and the Japanese inspired landscaping is nice for the residents to enjoy when they are taking a walk. The tour was great and very informative. Will consider for family in the near future.

December 8, 2021We appreciate your positive review about your recent experience with us!
Sakura Gardens is a tremendous facility, staffed with excellent caregivers and providing an invaluable service to the Japanese and JA Community in L.A. by allowing residents to feel comfortable and being surrounded by Japanese traditions of food, activities and hospitality. I know it made a huge impact on transitioning my own mother to the Legacies unit of Sakura Gardens. She is happy and seems to be thriving in this warm, caring and proactive environment. I can't say enough about the nurturing nature of the staff, from the administrators to the wonderful caregivers. I highly recommend Sakura Gardens without any hesitation to anyone considering to be a resident or transitioning a family member to this community.

Our Mother entered Sakura Gardens 6 months ago and as each month that has gone by, she’s blossomed. She has more and more friends each time we visit her and because she’s living her best life at Sakura Gardens, it’s always a joy for our family members to visit her. We’re very pleased with the care our mother is getting there.

December 5, 2021K W, we are very happy we could provide you with a positive experience!
Absolutely exceeds all expectations. Their management team could not have been more cordial or more professional during our initial visit and subsequent visits. All questions were answered. The furnished apartments are very comfortable. Housekeeping and front desk staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. The overall services provided including scheduled various activities (daily) and three excellent meals per day greatly assisted in facilitating this significant transition. Yoshi, who just turned 100 three months ago, has seriously enjoyed her three year stay at Sakura. The management team and staff have absolutely protected their residents during the pandemic. They really care about all residents. My wife and I feel extremely fortunate to have found such an excellent community. Huge accolades to Sakura for making Yoshi's three year stay so comfortable and successful. We are elated and we thank you, Sakura.

December 5, 2021Keith And Mari, we're happy to hear you had such a positive experience with our team!
We moved my mom into Sakura Gardens in July 2021, she is doing very well there, she is making new friends, going to exercise classes and is genuinely happy there! I know she is happy there, because whenever I try calling her she is never in her room! The room is very nice, and has a lot of space. The food is good and dining room is very clean!

October 31, 2021Anonymous, thank you for your kind words and this wonderful review!
We chose Sakura Gardens of Los Angels because it was nearby the other facility that we had put a deposit down on had some construction issues and they helped us find it until it was finished. The facility itself has beautiful surroundings and is very safe and peaceful. The room sizes here are very spacious, they are also furnished it looks like a little house on the inside. I would want others to know so the residents are on the older side but they are very bright and nimble. Also, all of the food here is Japanese. The director and staff members here are very helpful and friendly and I would recommend it.

They have a lot of activities and volunteers from the Japanese community come out and do things in Japanese for them. They have beautiful gardens, a huge koi pond, waterfalls, rock sculptures, and bonsai trees within the grounds.

Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles was a very good place especially for memory care service. They had a private garden for memory care, and the facility was so clean. It's one of the best. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable, explained everything from the monitoring to the menu.
