Loma Clara Senior Living

Loma Clara Senior Living was clean and was full of hospitality. I was acknowledged when I came through the front door. The person I was there to meet gave me an escort of the place and reviewed all of the plans that they offer, where the people eat, and showed us the rooms. It was really cute. Two ladies were part of the hospitality team. Some residents were part of it, too, and they were hoping that my mom was going to come so that they could meet her. I thought that was really good and nice. I liked the place. They have internet access and they could provide her food so she would not have to pay out of her pocket. She can have things that she wants in her place. There was a little kitchenette there.

I toured Loma Clara Senior Living. It was nice. However, when I saw the room, I thought my mom would never go for this, and there's no way she could afford it without us getting assistance. It was out of our range especially for sharing a room that had no shower, no kitchenette ,or anything in it. One bedroom had a door, and the other one was just a wall, so when the other person walked in, and if you were in bed or something, there was no privacy. I just know from where my mom came from at the other facility, I thought that she was not going to like this, and I can't see her paying that much. The lady who toured me was extremely knowledgeable. She was a great salesperson. It was a very nice facility. I only saw the upstairs; I didn't spend a lot of time there. I knew it was out of our price range. She only showed me two rooms, and they were both the same. It was very clean. People were friendly enough. From what I saw and who I met, the people at the front desk and the lady who took me around were very friendly. It's very orderly. There is an organization there that is what my mom is missing. It's more structured, so that is important. It was very organized.

My husband moved into Loma Clara Senior Living. They are very much geared for Alzheimer's and Dementia. It's wonderful. It's constant training, and my husband felt right at home. He was very pleased. They helped us move him in there. They are wonderful people and so caring. It's a very nice place. He has a wonderful room. It's a shared room, and he has the larger part. It has a refrigerator. They will share a bathroom eventually, but there is no one in the other room right now. They have a lot of activities, like exercising, playing ball, and moving. The people don't sit in their bedrooms. They go out and mingle. Everyone talks to each other. It's very friendly. They had a support group for me, and it was wonderful. There were quite a few people there. They have an outdoor courtyard that's pretty big and nice. They have a garden. It's very pretty out there. They are more than I was paying for than the last place, and it's going to keep going up the worse he gets.

I went to the Loma Clara Senior Living. The staff was extremely professional. The building was very nice. It was a fairly new building. The rooms were nice in the memory care and were very large with a kitchen. The grounds were very pretty. The staff was cordial and very friendly. The assisted living had a beautiful dining room, and it was open to family. They had very high standards; there's no doubt about it. We went during a promotional thing, so the tour wasn't exactly the same. They do have a person on staff in memory care that is extremely educated on Alzheimer's and dementia. They present their care in a booklet that has been written by her. She spent quite a bit of time going through that with us. They weren't able to accommodate my mom. It was very clean and very new.

My dad moved to the memory care of Loma Clara Senior Living. It's a nice looking building and dad appreciated the way it looked. It's a smaller community. The people we met are very friendly, and we like their good attitude. The staff is very nice and friendly as well, and the diversity of the staff is good. I think they're trying to get him out and about; they're very encouraging in getting the patients out and about and doing things. The senior living side has a barber shop and a little garden in the outside area. The memory care also has an outside area, and it's smaller. The senior side has a menu that has a choice, but the memory care side doesn't necessarily have a choice. They do it like a hot meal with cold salad and protein. From what I've seen, the food looks good, and they come by with snacks. It looks healthy, good, and nutritious from what I've seen. They've been really good. The staff has been excellent.

Loma Clara Senior Living is a very beautiful, very bright facility. It was newer. I was quite impressed. However, not as impressed with the staff, not the staff per se, but as I walked through a resident was sitting by herself in a living area where the TV was. And she said yeah, she's always here. She's the only one that is always here. And I thought that was kind of odd that they would just let this resident be there by herself all the time. I don't know why. It just kind of rubs me weird. You know, I figured somebody would be with her. They would try to incorporate her with the other staff. But overall, I would highly rate the facility. They are priced higher than the other place. I do think the quality of care was also pretty high. The staff, the activities they have, all the gardening, and all of that that the residents participate in, it was a wonderful facility. It would be another great option for someone, it's just the pricing, it's higher than the other places.
