San Clemente Villa was assisted living. For two people or somebody who could get around, it was fine, but if you needed more care, they had a memory unit. Their regular units were for older people who needed help but could take care of themselves. They pretty much had an apartment environment. They had good meals in their dining room. They had a swimming pool, library, and different amenities. The one-bedroom apartments had a living room, kitchenette, bathroom, and a private bedroom. The place was very clean, very orderly, and very well run.

San Clemente Villas by the Sea was dirty, and the residents looked very unhappy. It needs a complete renovation because it was built maybe 15 or 20 years ago and looked like they haven’t done anything since. I did not like this place at all. The people who ran it were a little pushy, too, and really turned me off. I would suggest that they renovate and clean the place.

San Clemente Villas was nice. It was clean. There was no urine smell. I would have placed my mom there if necessary. The staff was great. I didn’t eat a meal there, but the food looked good. They had a full dining-room, and a nice salad bar. They had outings, tons of things internally, a barber shop, and a beauty salon. They had a memory locked area so it was full service. I would highly recommend it.

I visited the San Clemente Villas by the Sea. I found the staff friendly, and the place was very well decorated and clean. Their dining room was very inviting. They were having water color instructions at that time. I think I went at a slow time because there weren’t a lot of people moving around or anything; they were just resting. I think it was after lunch. They seemed to have a lot of activities; they have movie nights, and there always seemed to be somebody in attendance to help with anything.

San Clemente Villas was very busy. The day that my mom and I visited them was a Sunday. They were just finishing up their church service, and everybody was getting ready for lunch. It seems like the hallway was tight because everybody was out all at once. It was nice, but it was a little bit too chaotic for my mother. Because it was close quarters with all the people coming out at once, she felt it was a little bit chaotic. They had a lot going on in terms of the building's look which made it a little bit too cluttered. She wasn't comfortable there.

Villas by the Sea was good in every way. I loooked at some rooms when I visited, and it's not as much like an assisted living facility as the other place I visited. It was more like a hotel but not as large. It was good because it was not overwhelming and crowded.

San Clemente Villas by the Sea is very nice. It has beautiful architecture, beautiful building, beautiful yards, nice rooms, nice dining rooms, and a nice entry lounge area; just a beautiful facility. Nice location; half a block from the beach. The rooms have a living room, bedroom area, the ones that I looked at, and a small service kitchenette-type area. The dining area is like a first-class restaurant that looks out to the patio and garden. The staff are very nice. They were thoroughly professional throughout the tour, and they tried to get us to go there, but it was too expensive.

San Clemente Villas By The Sea was privately owned and very nice looking. The apartments were small, but they were very expensive. It's near the freeway and near the hospital. They had three meals a day.

San Clemente Villas was nice. The staff there was friendly and knowledgeable. My mother, however, did not want to move in that area.

We have mom's friend is in San Clemente Villas now, so we're now considering maybe like a short stay there to see if she likes it. The people are friendly there, as are the owners. They were very nice. They have classes, like there was a film class. My mom would just go there for that class. They reach out to the community, it's a nice environment. The food I think is pretty good. They always have a salad bar available. I think it would be good for them to have low-sodium options, and just maybe more vegetarian offerings.
I thought the room was very nice. It was roomy. She has a 1-bedroom, so I thought it was fine. She was able to get most of her things in there. They have a big living room and a little aviary on the left. They have all these little birds and that's really super nice and they decorate it for the holidays. It's really beautiful, and then the eating area is beyond that. They have a pool in the back. It overlooks where you can see the freeway, but you have a view. The beach is farther out.

San Clemente Villas was terrific. It's probably the best one that I've ever seen. The rooms were very nice and modern. They have motion detectors so that if somebody doesn't get up by 9 or 10 in the morning, they send somebody to find out what's going on. All the residents wear a GPS, so they'll know where they are. The whole staff is very caring and they have so many things for the residents. I've had lunch and dinner there. Their food is wonderful and it's better than most restaurants. I think the best part is the activities that they have for the residents. There's always something going on like classes for the residents and their family. They have a doctor on staff that teaches people how to remember things, and other cognitive type of classes. They've got some big event going on almost every week.

My sisters and I have looked into 7 different assisted living locations. SC Villas by far has the best programs, least turnover of care givers and a most active program for seniors. Both in and outside of the facility. While most of them all have a very caring side, our mother with mild dementia who still cares for herself, will greatly benefit from the Memory Enhancement Program (2 years new, 5 days a week, 1hr, 2x day) is a step above the services that most of the other places offered. Every staff member is so kind and they all know the residences names. Our mother needs sound structure that the Villas provide and a memory care unit which in turn will equate to not needing to make another move to another facility. Best of all it is FUN there for all.
