Assisted Living Communities in Placentia, CA

"I visited Cambridge Court. The people who worked there were absolutely awesome. I did not like the location and the rooms. The doorways were too small to go in and out of the bathroom. However, the people were absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was OK. Brianna was fantastic. The dining area was very nice. However, I thought they needed to revamp the doors and make them wider. "

"I went to Sunrise of Yorba Linda. Everything was very clean and organized. I liked the entire place. It seemed like a nice atmosphere, they're caring people, and the rooms were very nice. I was impressed by it. They showed me an assisted living room, but they told me that when someone has to go to memory care, they're more just like in a hospital room. They don't have apartments in memory care. They just have rooms because they like to get them out doing things with others. The only thing I didn't like there is that once you need memory care, they boot you out of the nice little apartment and stick you in a room. The employees seemed great. I did not try the food, but that was one of the impressive aspects of this place. The dining area is run just like a restaurant. The residents get a menu and the server when they type in the person's name on the iPad, all of that person's stuff comes up (e.g, no salt, etc.). I thought that was very impressive that it's organized."

"I went to Cogir of Brea. It wasn't spacious, but for the population, it accommodated them well. But it just didn't feel as warm as it seemed. It was very modern. It was more or less a hotel, I would say. They had a small courtyard and an arts and crafts type room. The dining area is more cafeteria-like."

"We toured Sunrise of Orange. When we walked in there was a group exercise class going on, and the attendants looked like they were enjoying it. There was music being played, and they were doing movements to music, and the place was gorgeous. The public rooms were lovely and there's a nice outdoor space. It overlooks the park, which has a pond and ducks, and lots of happiness. The facility itself is extraordinarily beautiful. The person showing us around was a young, lovely woman. I was there with my friend and she showed the two of us around, and she was nice. Very informative. The starting pay, or the starting prices were more than I can afford unfortunately, but if somebody could afford it, it looks fabulous. We spoke to a couple of people who were residents there, and they seemed to be very happy. They said the food was wonderful and the dining room was really pretty and nicely set up. We only looked at the single room and it was very nicely appointed. It had a nice big bathroom that would accommodate a wheelchair or whatever device you might need for mobility. They had nice big elevators. Lots of guest parking. If I could afford it, I would have my husband there in a heartbeat."

"Brookdale Brea looked nice and clean, and the staff seemed to be very nice. The few residents we saw were polite and nice. The tour was informative. In general, the place was fine. There was a mini patio in the central court. "

"They are doing a good job. The service is excellent."

"My daughter and I went over to Oakmont of Fullerton and spent a couple of hours with them and they were very, very nice. The facility was wonderful, but they wanted $8,000 a month for a one-bedroom facility, and I couldn't afford that. The facility is absolutely beautiful. It is only about two years old, so it looks brand new. The facility is in wonderful condition. They have a TV room and a very nice cafeteria. The menu looked very appetizing. The staff was very, very knowledgeable and courteous in providing information to questions that we had to ask. One reason why I liked them a lot was that they're only about a quarter of a mile away from St. Jude, which is my main medical team over there. So that really is appealing."

"Kirkwood was very nice. I liked it. They had an ice cream parlor. The staff was very nice. It was very clean. The receptionist was nice. The lady that took me around was very nice and understood everything. "

"As a resident of two years,and a highly educated person, I am fully disappointed in how this administration is as phoney as I have ever experienced. I also find them wholly unqualified to deal with residents, problems, outcomes. There is no follow through or any explanations as to why not. The lack of conscious thinking or acting is appalling. This is no place I would ever send a loved one. "

"It was really nice. They had really nice facilities. There wasn't anything wrong with them. I highly would recommend them. The staff seemed friendly and attentive. They had activities and things to do. The layout was fantastic. The memory care was up on the second floor; they had a little patio. It was a little cramped, but they were growing little gardens and that kind of stuff there."

"The Meridian at Anaheim Hills was quite nice. I really liked it, but I don't want that kind of drive. I don't like that kind of traffic, otherwise, the place itself was very nice. The staff was very pleasant, and she answered any questions. It's an easy place to find, but for me, I don't want that kind of commute. It is great for somebody who is living in that direction already. I like the older theme that it has/the way it is set up. It is a pretty place. They have a beautiful fountain outside, a lot of parking space, and the dining room is very nice. There seemed to be a lot of nice people there. The rooms were nice and spacious enough. We looked at one that was for sharing and then the other one was just by itself, which was a little bit dark. The staff was very pleasant."

"Brookdale Anaheim was quite nice and had a large facility the one that I was looking for. I saw the male room, and I saw a couple of conference rooms. I saw the people playing bingo. "

"My mother didn't like Emerald Court because she didn't need it. She was paying all this money and never used any of the activities and never went to the dining hall. Her apartment was really beautiful and had kitchens in each apartment, so she cooked her own food. It was a beautiful community. They had a gym, balloon volleyball, karaoke and movie night, concerts, beautiful outdoor area for barbecues, Hawaiian night, and all kinds of activities. The place was very clean and very lovely. The grounds were very pretty, they had very nice views, and had transportation. They tried to make everybody happy. The staff was really nice and wonderful. The administration, the nursing, and maintenance guys were really nice. The food was institutional, but they had these lovely brunches."
