Murrieta Gardens also has memory care. The staff was very hospitable to me, answered all the questions that I had, and showed me the rooms and all the places. I saw residents out and about, they were all dressed nicely and seemed well-taken care of. They have different kinds of rooms in memory care. There's shared rooms, smaller rooms, and Jack and Jill rooms that connect to shared bathrooms.

Murrieta Gardens and its staff was much older. It was a two-story, and we were looking for a one-story facility. What we noticed was the smell, which was a real turn-off for us. This was the first place that we toured, and we liked it. The rooms were nice. It seemed like they were more assisted living than memory care.
Provider Response
Dear Terry, We appreciate you taking the time to tour our community. Murrieta Gardens opened in 2004 as an assisted living and memory care community. Recently we underwent a major remodel to exclusively focus on caring for residents with memory loss, but aspects of assisted living accommodations may still be apparent. With the remodel we have specially designed and dedicated Alzheimer’s and Memory Care accommodations. Our staff are experienced and well trained, which can explain for many being a bit older. We strive to ensure the comfort and security of all our residents while offering two neighborhoods, known as: Transitions and Generations, depending on what care is best for each resident. And while caring for memory care residents, accidents do happen from time to time, however our caring, experienced and attentive staff do attend to the immediate needs of our residents. We love that our staff partner with family members and care providers to develop a framework that supports the individual physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. If I can be of any other assistance, or offer you another tour please contact me personally at 951-600-7676. Best, Dana R. Ramirez Executive Director, Murrieta Gardens

I had visited Murrieta Gardens. It was more like a hospital. It felt very cold. It appeared that there was a lot of confusion like a lot of the employees running around, and it didn't appear that they knew what they were doing. The rooms were probably 12 x 14 with 2 beds in them. The place was just cold and clinical. The dining area looked OK, but they had plastic tablecloths. Again, it was cold and uninviting.

Murrieta Gardens is what I chose for my mother. I like it because she has her own little apartment, and she can keep her dog. She has been there for three or four months now. They take good care of her and make sure she stays active. It took a long time for her to recover from a fall, but she is doing well now. I would recommend them.

I thought Murrieta Gardens Senior Living was quite nice, but it was just too expensive for us. Also, I didn't think my mom-in-law would like to be in a large facility. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the people seemed nice. It seemed like they had some activities for the residents. It wasn't a luxurious place. They gave me a loaf of nut bread that they baked in their kitchen, and it was very good. If their food is anything like the nut bread, then it must be pretty good.

I visited Murrieta Gardens for my mother-in-law. It was excellent. We were given informative tours, and the staff was friendly and welcoming and so were the residents. The residents were amazing. They were actively participating in activities. They were together and were not in their rooms most of the day. They were involved in activities, e.g., there were singing and cooking. The facility was clean. It was carefully planned and laid out nicely. That's the place that I would have chosen for my mother. The rooms were fair. They were adequate. They were acceptable and satisfactory.

I visited Murrieta Gardens, and it was a lot smaller, but everyone seemed happy, and they were very helpful. The rooms were average; they were not large but not real small either, and it was nice just for one person. I can't think of anything that they can improve on really. Everybody was happy -- the patients, the staff. It was very nice and very clean.

Murrieta Gardens was good. We were there on a weekend, and they have limited staff, but they seemed to be very caring and wanted to make sure the residents were comfortable. They needed some updating, but for the most part they were clean and comfortable, and they have the amenities for residents of that age. They have a calendar of activities that they do like yoga, bridge, gaming, and recreational stuff. They need a bit more updating.

I did look at one place in California for both of my parents. It is called Murrieta Gardens. It is very nice, and it looks like a nice place. The staff seems very nice. My mother has Alzheimer's, so that is another reason they decided against that. They have to be separated, and my dad didn't want to do that. It seems nice, but I didn't look at it very closely once I knew they couldn't be together in a place or it would be too expensive. The atmosphere seemed nice, and the sanitation is excellent.

I knew about Murrieta Gardens from a friend. The staff was very helpful. The rooms were very nice. The dining room was nice and very homey. The place was very secured and safe. They had activities like they do crafts for them. They had kids that come in and do little performances. They played games with them, and they had all kinds of things.

The Murrieta Gardens was really nice. They just weren't suited for my wife. They changed the staff quite often and that became a problem because all the new faces confused her. But if I were to recommend one, I would recommend Murrieta Gardens first. The dining room was very clean. They do have activities; they have a schedule.

The staff at Murrieta Gardens was fabulous. They were prompt, I was greeted in timely fashion, and they took me on the tour and answered all my questions. Actually, they were really good and I still get emails from them when they are having luaus or Bingo night. They have a lot of activities going on over there for the seniors. They seemed to be on top of their activities and they kept things moving. There were nice little places where they had video game systems, for playing bowling and stuff like that, and they had a very nice cafeteria dining room area. It was very nice because I have in-laws who live in an assisted living place right now, so I was able to compare that to this one, and this one was cleaner and more up-to-date But it was a much smaller place, which is probably why they are able to cater to everybody's needs better. The dietitian knew who liked what or what meals they liked,; they knew the people. It was great. I'll live there when I am old.

I liked the family environment feel of Murrieta Gardens. It wasn't so big that you didn't know everybody, and the dining room was cozy. Everybody had their independence, and it was a multi-level of how much independence you needed. You could pay for more care, but my great aunt at that time was fairly independent, and they kept a small number, so it wasn’t more than they can handle. They attended to everybody really well, and they had entertainment and activities; I really liked that. My grandma was also there for respite care when she had surgery, but she ended up in a locked facility.

I was just impressed with Murrieta Gardens. It seemed like it was a true communal living environment. We looked at the dining room and everything was really neat. People seemed happy and they were being engaged all the time. They had their ways to spend their day. I was really impressed by this facility and I would like my mom to go somewhere like that.

Mom-in-law is at Murrieta Gardens and it's nice that it's close to us. It's a small community and the staff knows the residents by their first names. The food is good and mom likes the facility. So far so good.

My husband was at Murrieta Gardens. It's a large facility. They have assisted living as well as a memory care section. They have two massive, big buildings with private rooms. They have activities and outings and a lovely dining room, but they are extremely expensive.

My Mom has been in the Assisted living for 2 years. She is loved and cared for very much by all the staff. She has made lots of new friends also. All the staff is Very friendly, and are accommodating to my Mother's needs. I am so comfortable and trust all of them in her care.

I like absolutely nothing about Murrieta Gardens. The residents didn't look happy. That's a big thing, when you walk in and the residents don't seemed happy. The staff was unknowledgeable. It gave me the creeps. They had one room that was all fixed up which was small. They had decorated it nice, but they were always nicer when they were model homes. I was not impressed with that at all. It didn't seemed to be the cleanest of places. When you first walked in there, the first floor was the memory care and the people with Alzheimer's and your impression if don?t know that was: "Are these people unhappy? Are they drugged up?". It was way different from the other places we visited and I didn't had a good feeling.

I'm pleased with it. They seemed to be pretty taking good care of my husband. He is adopted very well and they keep him involved with all the activities that they have. I don’t really know with regards to their activities, but I know that they take them on outings. They had a thanksgiving last night. They have a tree lighting ceremony on the first part of December. They have a church service on Sunday morning and I go over there and sit with my husband for that. They have two activity rooms.

This is a great facility. Residents are treated with the utmost respect by the staff, who are committed to keeping the community safe and secure. Neighbors are friendly and warm, and often sit out on the porches chatting with people passing by. They have golf and community events to keep folks entertained. Overall, a top notch retirement community.

I volunteered at this facility. I was really pleased with how courteous the staff were to the residents. There is always an activity going on for the residents to choose, whether it is listening to a story, watching t.v., playing board games or talking with the volunteers. From time to time the facility has performances by the local schools. I really loved the garden they have, it is filled with pretty flowers, shade trees, ferns and each type of plant has a placard with a description about it. There is also a designated smoking area. They have all the residents on a schedule and everyone seems to be happy with it. The cafeteria has a lot of variety. The residents have the option to choose what course they want for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a few snacks throughout the day. They have visiting hours where friends and families are able to visit residents and see their living space. The visitors are allowed to sit in on group time and enjoy the garden. Overall this facility seems to be a very respectful place for residents to live.
