I toured Villas at San Bernardino, and that is the one I am going to try and go with. They have both assisted and you can be on your own in independent. I toured the assisted, but just to an extent. I am not totally assisted and just need reminders to take the medicine and stuff like that.
They were willing to work with me in trying to get help for the monthly payment. It is not cheap. It is like $2,300 a month.
The facility was very nice and well taken care of. They showed me the dining room and two different rooms. I decided on one of the rooms. They wash your clothes for you, and they can clean for you. They have a dining area where you can eat. It was pretty nice.

My mom is at Villas at San Bernardino. They're great. If it wasn't for COVID, it would feel like a resort. It's really nice. The people there are very caring. My mom is picky and she has absolutely nothing, but good things to say about all the helpers. They pride themselves on their food. This is something that they brag about, that their staff eats there too, because the food is so good and it's mostly fresh. My mom can't believe how good the food is. She's been there since September, and you don't usually find that in a group living situation like this. My mom is 95 years old, and she says, "I'm gonna have to go on a diet, I'm gaining too much weight, 'cause it's so good."
Also, they have an activity director who really tries to make sure there's something going on and they frequently have a woman or some other entertainers who come and sing or whatever on the patio, distanced away from the residents. It's very hard right now because of COVID, but the place has really the potential to be so good and the people are just so nice. In spite of the pandemic, they load up whoever wants to go into this nice touring van that they have, and they drive around and they look at things. One time, they went all the way to Oakland, and they take them sightseeing and driving around neighborhoods. They have a library and a woman who plays the piano every night. My mom and some other women sit and they'd sing hymns together, but they have to be 6 feet apart.
Recently, they had some people that tested positive for COVID. They had to have everybody stay in their rooms and they tested everybody. Now, it's going away and they're starting to come out and be able to eat again in the dining room. There's a hair salon there, and my mom was able to utilize that one time before COVID emerged again in California; they have to follow the rules of the State. They have a nice patio with a fountain where the residents can go sit outside, and they call it 'the backyard.' They have sidewalks around the facility, so that the residents can walk around. It is right next to a freeway, but you can't hear it. The neighborhood is not that great, but the home itself is very nice. They're doing their best, and they really care. Again, my mom is picky, but she's been real pleased how clean everything is.

This is a wonderful facility. They truly care about their residents
During these difficult times they have definitely stepped up to protect the residents. And can proudly say they have had no Covid cases My reclusive father in-law loves living here.

Villas at San Bernardino is a very nice and very clean place. They have lots of activities and they have parties going on all the time but maybe not now with the coronavirus. I would have chosen that place for my husband. The dining room was clean. But I didn't see any activities when I was there. They had a library where you can go in and read anytime you wanted to. You can get cookies there, which was nice. They have a special room for movies, too. It's a lot smaller place but it has lots of things going on. It is also very clean. The staff who assisted me was very helpful.

I was impressed with Villas at San Bernardino. They gave us all their information. I didn't see a lot of interaction between their staff members and what-not, but we did go into a couple of rooms that they had available. They were very nice. Villas at San Bernardino was one location where I thought about placing my mother, but it was so far away from where we live. They had a small library and a small movie theater. The staff member who showed us around was very nice and very informative. I liked that they monitor who goes in and who goes out. They have surveillance, which I really appreciate.

I was very impressed with Villas at San Bernardino. It was very attractive and the care seemed to be good. I would think it's adequate for the level I was looking at, which is assisted living. The caregivers seem to be right there. For the price, its a really good deal. The room I saw was attractive and they had a couple sizes of rooms. The smallest of the rooms seemed perfectly adequate and the facilities in the bathroom were excellent. They offer three meals a day with more than one choice at each mealtime. They also have snacks pretty much 24-hours a day. You can sit outside on the patio and the indoors looked very comfortable.

Villas at San Bernardino's rooms were nice, clean, and spacious. The staff was friendly, helpful, and answered all the questions I had. They had a schedule of activities and they had a TV room, library, lunch room, and dining room. The dining area was orderly and clean.

The Villas at San Bernardino have assisted living and memory care at a more reasonable cost. They have an outside area that’s secure, and they have activities. I saw they have their meals. The rooms were fine, clean, and of different sizes and prices. They have a big sitting room where they can watch TV and socialize. They have someone that comes in, and they tried to keep them occupied with different activities. Everybody seemed to be doing OK.

The staff and the food were incredible at the Villas. The staff member who took us around was wonderful. She came in on her day off to meet with us. We met the director of activities, who even ate lunch with us. The apartment was very spacious, one of largest apartments we've seen, and it was very well maintained. They had a library, a meeting room, and a computer room.

My father has lived in this facility for a few weeks. I am pleased with the level of communication between the staff and myself. I am glad that the reception area is always monitored and I feel that people cannot wander in (or out) without an individual from the staff interacting with them. The atmosphere is much like being at someone's home not like being at a care facility.

My grandmother lived at Villas for only six weeks before she passed but in that short time the experience for her and our family was incredible. After a few months of rapidly declining health the staff at Villas welcomed her with a kindness and patience she had not experienced at two previous locations. They took the time to give her the assisted care she needed while she tried to recover her health. One of her last days there was her 87th birthday and knowing of the hardships she had gone through the previous few months the staff reserved a private dining room for a family birthday party: not only did they do us this kindness but more than one employee dropped off flowers for her. I cannot speak of the cost or long-term care due to her short time there but for what the Villas gave my grandmother in her final weeks meant, and still does, a great deal to my family and I.

I found the Villas at San Bernardino to be of above average quality for the price and location. They offer a wide range of service to fit the changing needs of residents, from independent living, to assisted living, to memory care. They also have staff on hand for medication management, which was an excellent resource for an older family member suffering memory loss. They also have a wide range of activities for residents ans guests to take part in, and many physical and cognitive exercises to help residents with memory problems learn how to retain what they are losing. They also sport a beautifully landscaped lawn, the property is very near to major medical facilities in the city, and has a great view of the San Bernardino mountains. There are on-site beauty and barber shops, and various other sources of entertainment. The property is highly accessible to the disabled, offers 24/7 security, and a wireless call system to ensure the safety of residents constantly. I found the staff to be very helpful, if not a little inexperienced, although most of the residents enjoyed having youth caretakers bounding around the residence halls ready to help and a moments notice.
Memory Care Reviews for Villas at San Bernardino

Villas at San Bernardino was very nice, the staff participates from the top down to their residents. It's a very nice place and the workers are all caring. My parents have been living in the memory care section for several weeks now. Their accommodation is just a bedroom with a bathroom. They had rooms for 2 people as well, they were basically just a room with a bathroom too but just a little larger. They have a nurse there all the time. They also have food for the residents all the time, if they get hungry they can come out and say they're hungry and they give them choices of what they would like and they get it for them. Every time I'm there, I can just go down the hall and tell them if I need something, and they'll get it right away. They have entertainment, pet care therapy comes in twice a week, they also have hired a podiatrist to come, and there's a beauty shop upstairs where they could get their hair done. They're having a Christmas party that the family members could come, they also had Thanksgiving. They have Catholic church on Tuesdays, and on Sundays they have their services on the assisted living part. I think they're way overpriced but that's how all of these places are. We had to put our mother in the memory care but our dad is in assisted living and we didn't want them separated, but Villas said right away that they could be together. On the weekends, a couple of the managerial people are always there so if you have a problem they're there to address it.

What is the care staff-to-resident ratio at Villas at San Bernardino during daytime and nighttime hours?
This number differs depending on the week/month/time frame the question is being asked. Our staffing ratio is not determined by resident count. We feel that is extremely dangerous to do, although most people look for this answer based on the number of residents/number of staff members. If we have 8 care staff for 100 residents, what is your first thought? Now if we told you 90 of those residents are independent... not a bad ratio, right? Now if we told you 40 of those residents are hospice residents....HORRIBLE ratio, right? Therefore, we determine staffing ratios based on resident acuity level, not the number of residents. Obviously that acuity level is fluid and ever changing, so our staffing levels truly vary weekly/monthly, etc.
If Villas at San Bernardino accepts dogs or cats, what indoor/outdoor areas can they enjoy?
Pets are free to enjoy the beautiful outdoors walking paths and sitting areas. There is also a grassy area outside of Assisted Living for pets to utilize. Pets are also free to enjoy our living room area as long as they remain on a leash and are house broken.
