Assisted Living Communities in Santa Ana, CA

"I cannot say enough about how much our family appreciated all the warm care and consideration that Clearwater/Clearbrook's staff showed to my elderly aunt during her time there. From the moment you enter the premises, there is a welcome feeling of relaxed luxury that comes from the thoughtful design, with outdoor walking paths, greenery such as olive trees and shaded patios w bbq grills and lounge areas. Our favorite dining spot was the "pub", an indoor dog-friendly space which allowed my aunt to spend time with our family pets...no airplane food here! Having a chapel on site was such a unique amenity that brought us comfort as well. The best feature, however, is the staff, all of whom I felt did their best to make residents feel at home while partnering and communicating with family to provide the best care possible. Clearwater/Clearbrook's people, policies and environment have created such a positive space, which translates to and is felt by the residents and guests alike. We treasured her time there, and are so grateful to everyone for making her final journey a beautiful one."

"Citrus Hills Assisted Living was tired. It needed painting. They got concrete floors, no carpeting. The staff seemed to be good, but I wasn't there long enough to assess much other than looking at the facility and its accommodations. The dining area was fine. The outdoor area was upstairs and it was an open air patio area. It was OK."

"My parents moved into Park View Estates in Fountain Valley. It's incredible. It's beautiful. There are two courtyards, so there are lots of outdoor space for them to enjoy. The apartments are nice, and the staff is incredible. It's affordable, and they have a buydown program that was also affordable. Most of the places' buydown program was like $100,000. Park View Estates in Fountain Valley had two levels of buydown, $5000 or $10,000, to lower their rent for the length of time they are there, so that was a great incentive. I sampled the meals, and I had two because I went with my mom and then my sister and my dad wanted to go. The food was good. They're in a studio deluxe, but it's essentially a one-bedroom apartment. They have tons of activities and the very first day they moved in, two of the residents invited them to come. The residents are very greeting, "Hey, there's a social tonight down in the bistro," and so my parents participated. It was kind of like a cocktail hour thing where there was live music. They enjoyed it. They have something going on almost every hour."

"My mom is in Best Elderly Care. I like the quality of the care and the environment the best. It’s very well taken care of, very clean, has a lot of light and safety features, and is very safe. The food is very colorful and nutritious without too large of a portion. They have exercise programs in the morning, sing-alongs every now and then, music, and visiting entertainers. The staff is exceptional. "

"My in-laws moved into Kirkwood Orange last July or 1st week of August. They seemed to like it. It's welcoming, the services seemed satisfactory, and they seemed to be OK with it. My father-in-law recently was able to leave and then he came back. Right now, he has to be in the building, but he walks every day. They are allowing him to walk through the facility. My mother-in-law passed away. My father-in-law seems to like the food. He has some suggestions of the things he likes, and they seemed to have listened. He seems content with the food."

"I highly recommend Whispering Oaks board and care. The moment one walks into the facility it feels more like home. The caregivers take pride in their work!! In these times it is so difficult to find people who truly care about your loved one. They provided the best of care for my mother until her end of life. Our family is blessed to have found this board and care for our mother. Thank you!!"

"My ex-husband is a resident of Brookdale Brookhurst. The layout is excellent and they have activities every hour. Everything's good. The room is very clean. Every week, they go out twice, they go out shopping and bingo. They kind of exercise and cook, so it's pretty good. The staff are not very coordinated. If you want to talk about medicine, you have to find the head nurse otherwise they will say, 'I don't know.', just like that. So, you have to do it yourself. The food is just normal. Everything's fine except the way that they manage."

"I liked Atria Golden Creek. I found the staff to be very pleasant and accommodating. It was far more on the cruise ship on land model. I felt like they would be very accommodating, but it was like so over the top cost wise, and there wasn’t real sense of home like atmosphere. It’s very clean with large size units. "

"Carmel Village Retirement Community was really nice, very decent, and very dignified. The staff was very good, and we were very happy. I spoke with a few residents, and they have been very happy there."
