Key Review Excerpts

Whether they were residing in Independent Living or Mom in Assisted Living, I am very impressed with the quality of the staff working at University Retirement. So many genuinely pleasant, helpful and professional staff in one place is really quite amazing find.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

Despite numerous complaints about my very painful swollen knee to nursing and medical staff, nothing was done until my knee was so swollen that it hardly bent. Then they put me on bed rest for the next month.

Former resident · 2021★★★★

Everything about URC is high class and high quality. If you ever need a great haircut in the Davis area, go to Jaimie in the Salon in URC.
