My father is a resident of Sunset Homes. We love it there for him. He has lived in probably 4 other places, which are larger and more assisted living/memory care places. When my sister and I found Sunset Homes, it was just a really good fit for my father. It is small and intimate; I feel he gets one-on-one personal care. Any time there's any sort of an issue, I get a phone call and that's not very often, but they are quick to reach out to me. If there's something they need, whether they text me or call me, they're very good at communicating.
Sunset Homes feels like a home. It is home! I'm very happy there. My father is going to be there for a while, so it is good. He needs help reminding him to come out and eat. They cook but he feeds himself. They're definitely a 5. I wish I had found them sooner. I have never eaten there, but every time I go, it smells like a restaurant, and I know my dad is fed very well. The place is very clean; it is amazing.

My mother has been in Sunset Homes for a year and a half now. She really enjoys it and she feels very safe. She is in a place that if she is injured, they would take care of her. The care is very good. My mother is pretty independent and 100% has her mental faculties. She uses the walker to walk but she doesn't require a lot of assistance with anything. However, the assistance and the attention that they give her is quality. She enjoys the food, which is also a plus. They are very good at asking questions from the residents about what they like.
They're pretty good as far as communicating with me on text if there is any kind of medical issue or medicine issues. They are very prompt to respond, not just the owners, but the actual caregivers also. I'm very pleased. I love the pharmacy that they use. It has been seamless and less expensive.
The owner's wife had taken my mother to a doctor's appointment when I had been tied up with something. Also when my mother had surgery one morning and I had to be somewhere with my husband, the owner's wife took her for me. She had personally taken my mother out to the movies, too. I have never experienced anything like that. They're really catering to the residents and to the residents' family. My mother is not complaining, so it is very good.

My brother was reaching the point in his Parkinson's that he was having difficulty being mobile. When I got to Sunset Homes, I was very impressed with their layout. The owner was a former hospital administrator and had started out with a nursing career, so he has the medical as well as administrative knowledge. My brother has been there now for about a year and a half. He is getting much better care and much better attention. He knows all the caregivers very well and he is treated like a member of the family, which is a much better situation.
Sunset Homes provides more care for an individual. I feel the owner has a much better feeling for the patients because of his medical experience. He is also much more selective on the type of people he hires to be there, and I think that makes a difference. The staff is the whole top quality of it. The ones that are in there now are excellent. The food seems to be excellent and they got a great variety of foods. Everybody seems pretty happy. I like the place very much.
Each of the residents do different activities. Some people do art and some read in their rooms. The only limitation is that you can't do group activities or group exercises. They have musicians come in to play piano for them, and they have people come in to occasionally sing with them.

My mother-in-law has been in Sunset Homes for 8 months now. The experience is very positive and she gets excellent care. The caregivers are super and they really care about the people. They are very courteous and friendly. They're just really good people. We are very happy that my mother-in-law is there. She is getting much better care than where she was before.
Now with the COVID thing, they're in lockdown and they're very strict about it. Nobody goes in and nobody goes out. We are happy in that sense because COVID has wreaked havoc in some of the other assisted living facilities. Unfortunately, COVID has stopped a lot of the activities but they have music and other activities for the residents. My mother-in-law loves to play scrabble, so I'm sure that is continuing, but a lot of their outside activities have been discontinued. Before COVID, they had several group get-togethers and outings.
Sunset Homes is so superior to where she was before. They are very caring and very gentle with my mother-in-law. She can be a handful and a little nasty at times, but they laugh it off and they keep going about their business. They deal with older people all the time and they know that they have good days and bad days. They're just super. The place is a beautiful home and it is extremely well-maintained. The inside is absolutely spotless. Every time we have been there, it is always clean and no foul odor. The value for money is extremely competitive.

I am so appreciative of the care and attention my Mother and Father received at Sunset Homes in Laguna Niguel. My Dad had serious health issues and needed more care than we could give him at home.
My Mom did not need a caregiver but wanted to be with my Dad and so they shared a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. First of all, the owner, Bob, was over-the-top engaged and proactive with my Dad. He did everything he could, personally, and in dealing with the medical personnel, to provide my Dad with some quality of life while living at Sunset Home. The main caregivers, Maria and Fredo, are both extremely caring and attentive and immediately became like family. to my parents and their children, too.. Luanna made sure that my Mom had outside activities to keep her engaged during her stay. Bob and Luanna let my Mom plant flowers in the garden and allowed our huge family to host parties at their home which has the perfect back yard for entertaining. My whole family feels a warmth and affection for all at Sunset Homes.
