Assisted Living Communities in Garden Grove, CA

"I visited Walnut Village. I loved the apartment that I looked at, and it was out in a quiet area. So for me, it was perfect. It just seems very friendly and nice. They have regular housekeeping and everything like that. They have a little store, a happy hour, and an indoor swimming pool. It was wonderful. The staff was very friendly. They went into great detail about the apartment. I was very happy with them. The food was excellent. The dining area was beautiful. lt's like dining at a beautiful restaurant. Everything was just perfect."

"Mom was at Brookdale Brookhurst for respite care. We chose this place because they were one of the few places that had a two-week stay, which was exactly what we wanted and mom's primary care doctor had a couple of patients who had moved in there permanently and were doing well. So, I had a positive review from her doctor. They were warm and friendly. The people that worked there were very attentive. The facility was very nice. We were invited for lunch before she went to stay there. I wasn't crazy about the food, but during her time there, she said the food was delicious. So, her opinion is more important than mine. One complaint she had was that there were no activities in the evening. After an early dinner, everything was over and she wished there had been something to do in the evening. Then on her second or last day there, another resident took her up to the third floor and it turns out there was a whole big room there with puzzles, games, and things that she didn't know about. It would have been nice if she had a tour at the beginning, so she knew all the amenities that were there. Mom's apartment was nice. She loved that it was a one-bedroom apartment. It was a suite. It had a separate bedroom. She liked that it wasn't just a hotel room. They were very expensive and something that my mom was upset about was when I was first doing the research and trying to figure out what choices she had, the cost was what it was, and then on the day when we went and signed up and did the formal thing, the fees had gone up and mom didn't like that and I agreed. When I went in there, they should have said, "These fees are good for some amount of time." or "Sometimes the fees go up." So, we didn't like that very much."

"Westminster Terrace Senior Living is a beautiful, wonderful place. I've been here for a year and a half. I like a lot of things about it. They have bingo three times a week and everybody likes that. They have games, activities and puzzles. It's very structured. They have meetings up there in the activity room and different things. It's a lot of fun. We love it here and I'm being taken care of very well. There's a med tech room with a nurse if you need things. There are other people in the office, a regional manager, and then there are folks from Social Services. Everybody is very helpful. I have a room on the first floor. I have a roommate, and we do very well. I have my own TV, and she has hers. We have a pendant we can push to get the caregivers in and there's a med tech that comes and give us our medication when it's time. There's a dining room you can go to and have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or you can have it in your room. They're very good about that. We have balanced meals. It's a fantastic place. There's a library and a courtyard. There are other places you can go in here. They have a TV room and you can watch TV with everybody. Outside from the TV room, there is a garden with flowers and things. It's just very peaceful and serene out there. They have a computer we can use, so we have access to everything. We go on outings and to appointments on this little bus. That's so helpful, especially if you're in a wheelchair or a walker. They're wonderful people. They all do their job very well."

"My father moved into Oakmont of Orange. When I first went for my appointment, they had a wonderful sign welcoming me for the tour. I met with the marketing director who sat with me and answered all my questions and introduced me to the wellness director and the executive director. They spent some time with me understanding my father's condition and situation and what we were looking for. They went through their programs and how they would address his needs. They were willing to go visit him initially to get a better idea of what the costs would be, on top of just the monthly rate, that would address his needs in terms of additional care. They showed me the available apartment that they had thought would be best for him, given what I had requested for him, which was being close to the restaurant and the social activities. So, that was all nice because it seemed very personalized and thoughtful. The property itself is not large, but it's also not small. The apartment my dad has is in a great location and overlooked the courtyard. Although the kitchen is small, there's not a whole lot of need for a full kitchen. I appreciated that the living area of the apartment is much larger than the kitchen area. The quality of the facility is top-notch. And everybody that I met on the tour, which included the activities director, the chauffeur, and the maintenance crew, were all very nice and the residents seemed happy. It was very calm and quiet, and yet, everybody was very interactive when I was there. The restaurant is very fancy, and the food reviews of the chef there were always five stars reviews for the quality of the food, and that turned out to be true after having eaten there with my father. Everything has worked out well. They were very accommodating with my move-in requests and getting the room set up. In terms of how it was after, I had decided that my dad would be a good fit there. They were very amenable to the process of moving him in. I honestly couldn't be happier. Part of that is also that my father is happy there and he feels very much at home, comfortable, and welcome, and he feels like it is a very, very top-notch place. My dad is going to the workout classes, he's playing games. I know that he's actively engaging in the activities. The wellness team is very responsive. I've asked them to take into consideration different courses of care for him. Based on my father's communication about what's happening, this has been handled and managed. I was told that when he transitioned over that they would make sure that through his Medicare, he would be able to get more physical therapy regularly and for a longer period of time than what he was discharged with from skilled nursing. And so, that's happened. They also coordinated an appointment with the concierge doctor that comes to the facility. There was another company they work with that helps with hearing tests that he's now going to be assessed in. It seems like things are happening to his benefit and being given the necessary attention to the kind of keep him cared for. Also, the initial assessment of additional assisted living that was done in the beginning wasn't necessary, so they made an adjustment to the care they provided versus the care they had assigned because it wasn't needed.

"I toured Brookdale Anaheim. I like that it's close to our current place where I'm living. I like the property, people, and staff I met. The person who took me on the tour was kind and nice. They're very detailed, very caring, and want to help. She even told me, "What can I do for you to help you?" I liked that. I like that they have this process of checking their mentality, and they check everything, physically and mentally. They do assessments before accepting them into the community. So, I like all the details that they have. It was very clean and well-lit in every area because we went through the community, where they gathered together to play, and the patio was nice."

"I'm leaning towards Integrity Guest Home. The tour was wonderful. Kathy gave us the tour, she's the owner, and she did great. She showed us a room, and everything was clean. The clients were sitting there watching TV. They seemed very peaceful. She did have a little backyard with a little patio where they could go sit outside, and when you go visit, they could sit outside there, too. It was very nice. It was a very tranquil environment. The fact that there were two caregivers made me feel comfortable. When I went to the previous one, there was only one caregiver there, and they were waiting for the second one to get there, which to me was kind of scary. They can accommodate 6 residents. There was a shared room and a private room. They said they take them outside. They have activities for them. Before COVID, they would drive them in a van to the senior center. When COVID is lifted, they will do that again."

"I live here in Independent Living and I love it. I moved here from another, smaller, senior community one year after my wife passed because this one has more residents and more chances for me to make friends. I immediately asked and was encouraged by senior staff to facillitate two mentally challenging discussion groups every week for people with like interests. They are still going strong and many of us have become good friends. I can't praise the staff enough for consistently providing excellent meals, activity opportunities, and overall cleanliness. I also can't praise my fellow residents enough; we have been successful enough in life (I retired 26 years ago as a high school principal.) to be able to enjoy this quality of life with our peers."

"I toured Brookdale for my friend. It was lovely and comfortable. Kristin, I believe she was the director, was very helpful and thoughtful. It was good. I was very happy and pleased with it. I saw the dining room, and I have nothing but positive things to say about it. During my time there, I was very pleased. As far as the dining room goes, it was clean, well-organized, and inviting."

"We liked everything about Carmel Village Retirement Community. There was nothing negative about them. We were greeted by the person I was told would be greeted by, and that was David. He did an outstanding job. Overall, they did a wonderful job. This location is our number one pick right now. Cleanliness was outstanding both inside and outside. They have some construction work going on and David was explaining this to us. Whoever owns it is investing a lot of money into the structure of the building, especially the exterior. The size of the room was decent. We looked at both a studio and a one bedroom. The atmosphere was very lively. They were preparing to have an event that day. It was like a luau or something like that. There was a lot of activity as they were getting ready for that event. The residents were very, very nice. A number of them were telling my dad, "This is a great place." "They treat you good." "The staff are nice." So, he had some first hand feedback from residents that are already living there."

"I am a current client for this facility, placed my grandmother few months back. I highly recommend this place-it is very clean and their homemade cooking is amazing. The staff there is not just professional employees but can literally say they are like a family to my grandma, She is very well taking her of and enjoys all their activities. I looked in 8 different assistant living facility I was sooo disappointed, but found this place and went in to check it out and fall in love with it, they even invited to have lunch with my grandma.
