Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Brea, CA

"We moved into the Palmcrest Grand Residence. The facility is large. We have a shared room. I took the other bed, and they offered me a discount on that. The food is fine. My wife is bedbound, and they offer tray service, which was nice. We brought in a big TV, and they offered to mount it on the wall. They get there when you call for a diaper change or repositioning. The staff members are very nice. They have things you can do as a group to socialize. They constantly come in to clean the room and take out the trash."

"I toured Atria Del Rey. I'm very impressed with them. They were very helpful and friendly. The food was a five, too. You have a choice of food, and if you don't like what's on the menu, they offer a la carte menus. The rooms were nice and spacious."

"I love volunteering at Solheim because the care and companionship they provide for their residents is definitely something to note. It really sets them apart from other communities I've volunteered at over the years. Solheim has always been one of the happiest environments I visit. Residents are always busy doing a fun activity like enjoying live music with their friends, going on outings, participating in painting classes, playing various games, and so much more. There is a skilled nursing facility on site (like a hospital setting) so if your loved one needs any kind of rehab after a fall or surgery, they can take care of them right here in the comfort of their own community and with help of the super friendly staff onsite. Staff and residents always seem to have a smile on their face! The cleanliness here is also something to note. Everything I have learned about Solheim over the years I have liked and would recommend this community to any of my family members any day! And everyone else too!"

"Atria Del Sol was very lovely. The staff showed us everything, including the dining hall and the little workout area where they do PT. This lady was absolutely just a great gal. She had really good energy and made us feel good. The bedroom that we saw was great. It was very, very clean and up-to-date. They made sure everything looked fresh. The paint was fresh and the carpet was fresh. The bathroom and everything was really, really nice. We met the activities director. We met the lady at the front who was really lovely and nice. Some of the staff members that we saw were helping the residents out, and it seemed like they really enjoyed working there."

"ACP is an exceptional assisted living home. The staff is living, kind, and full of joy. The rooms are large and clean. The food is good, home cooked, and balanced. There are plenty of activities, an on site doctor, and any service you need can be provided. The staff is so caring!"

" 3/25/2020 I would like to take a Moment to Thank All at the Harvest Retirement. My Mother In Law is in the Memory Care unit. She is really happy there. The Staff is extremely nice to her and pays attention to here. My Wife and I were taking care of her at home but due to here Advanced Medical condition we found the she really needed Special Care. I want to put a Special Thanks out to Betty and Jeffrey who helped us to get her into the home. Without them she would never have gotten in. I want to thank Laura(not sure if i spelled her name correctly) and Angie for always having time to assist my mother in law. You can rest assured they will be well taken care of here. My Mother in Law loves the food. She shares a remove with another elderly lady and she loves the company. They let you bring in items from home so I brought in my Big Screen TV for my Mother in Law and she and her roommate love it. They say the feel they are at the movies all day long. Thank you Harvest Retirement!!!!"

"My friend was a resident of Regency Grand at West Covina. She was there for assisted living and she was happy there. The staff was very nice and very helpful. They all said the food was very nice. They liked the food. They have a library, a gym, and a TV room. They had art classes where you'd request different things all the time. For the value, it was lower than some, and higher than others."

"I visited Town & Country Manor. My visit was very positive. It's a very well-maintained community and the staff was good. It was one of my choices, but I changed my mind because the location is in a busy area of Santa Ana. They have lots of amenities and I was very pleased. I saw their dining area as well, as well as a 1-bedroom, 1-bath, which was adequate. Their amenities were upscale. I also met the staff when they were doing physical therapy, yoga and things like that. They were very warm and accommodating."

"I went to the Masonic Home at Covina. It's a private place. I'm a freemason, so I would be able to have access for myself or my mom because I know that if your son is a mason, your parents could be residents there too. It's very good to me. I would consider it for myself if I needed to go to a place. The staff is excellent, very professional, helpful, and informative. It's a very nice facility. I know they were, at that time, looking at building a memory care. They have a swimming pool, they have a gym, they have a dining hall, and I believe they even have a library. They even have a little store, like a 7-Eleven type convenience store. I only got to see the independent living part and they looked very nice, very roomy, they even had a kitchenette as well."

"St. Francis Home is quiet and clean. They cared for my Grandmother for a few years after she became unable to live on her own. She loved it and she loved the Sisters (Franciscan Nuns) who cared for her. The staff was wonderful and we loved that they offered a daily Mass for the women who lived at the home. There were socials available, and if someone didn't want to attend a meal the Sisters would bring it to her. Even as she aged and got dementia, the staff cared for her. When my Grandmother decided she no longer wanted to live there (as most elderly do) the staff supported her and cared for her with no ill treatment. When she became ill the Sisters cared for her and stayed by her side. She was not sent away to hospice, but rather was loved and nurtured in the home she had been accustomed to (although once she was too ill to be cared for at the home she had to be moved). Not only did the staff care for those who lived there, but they took the time to learn the names and faces of common visitors. I truly believe the staff cares for the women they live with as well as their families. "

"I would be moving into Hillcrest - A Remarkable Retirement Community because of their application process. My interaction with the staff was fabulous. They have a combination of cottages. They have a combination of singles, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, and they're in a low-rise building. Anything and everything that your heart could desire is there and available. I'm an architect, so visuals are very important to me, and this place has been there for multiple decades. Hillcrest has been architecturally designed with the theme of the Craftsman era. It's very comfortable for anybody coming from a historic community previously. They are full of grounds, flowers, trees, and shade. It is extremely well maintained. There's pride of ownership there; no question about it. I dined in their dining room. They are not cafeteria food; they're adult food. Hillcrest is a better value. I was also impressed with the overall staff there."

"Extremely conscientious and compassionate care from staff. "

"Bellflower Senior Center is a perfect place, but it's not what we needed right now. Everybody was wonderful. They have been very informative, kind and caring. They had a very nice two-bedroom apartment that we looked at. The facility was extremely clean and well kept and beautiful and it was within the price range that we wanted. I would definitely consider it if my husband was more willing or if I were by myself. "

"I am a resident of Inland Christian Home Inc. The residents and the management were fantastic. They're caring and friendly. They have more activities that I can get involved in. They have dinner every month for the residents if they want to join in with dinner and entertainment. They have activities and games. They have outings."
