    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Channing House is praised for its value, offering amenities such as a pool, exercise options, and trips. Despite its age, the facility is clean and conveniently located downtown, making it easily accessible to various amenities. However, some reviews note the small size of the bedrooms.

    The retirement community boasts a large complex with a unique walking track on the rooftop, providing stunning views of the Santa Cruz mountain range and Stanford University. The cost of units varies by floor, with higher floors offering more spectacular views. While the apartments include basic kitchen appliances, full kitchens and washing machines are not provided in individual units, requiring residents to use communal facilities. Channing House offers a range of activities, including a workshop for woodworking enthusiasts and parking for residents. However, the application process involves a non-refundable fee.

    Reviews highlight the excellent staff and the sense of community among residents. The retirement home is described as one of the best in the area, offering great care and a variety of activities that contribute to a vibrant community life. The management's response to the Covid-19 pandemic has been particularly commended for its effectiveness and communication with families.

    Residents and their families appreciate the comprehensive care and the array of social and recreational activities available. The on-site medical care, dining options, and maintenance services are highly rated. Channing House is also noted for its diverse and interesting resident population, including notable individuals.

    While some reviews mention the need for renovations and improvements in management, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing gratitude for the supportive environment and the quality of life provided to their loved ones. The location, close to downtown Palo Alto, adds to the appeal, offering easy access to shops, dining, and cultural events.
