The reviews for Elegance Berkeley present a mixed picture of the assisted living facility. Positive feedback highlights the community's beautiful environment, engaging activities, and dedicated staff. Many reviewers appreciate the efforts of specific staff members, such as Molly Gleason-Kodama and Robert Coe, who have been praised for their exceptional support and communication. Residents reportedly enjoy activities like live music and social hours, and the facility is described as modern and clean. However, several negative reviews raise serious concerns about the facility's management and care quality. Issues such as high staff turnover, inadequate training, and poor communication with families are frequently mentioned. Some reviewers report neglect, including unclean living conditions, missing personal belongings, and falsified medical records. These problems have led to significant distress for residents and their families, with some even filing complaints with the California Department of Social Services. While some reviewers note improvements under new leadership, others remain skeptical, citing ongoing issues despite changes in management. The facility's billing practices and lack of responsiveness to concerns are also criticized. Overall, while Elegance Berkeley receives praise for its physical environment and some staff members, the reviews suggest that potential residents and their families should carefully consider the facility's management and care practices before making a decision.

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.
