Independent Living Communities in Carson, CA

"We went to Westmont of Cypress. It was gorgeous. It's a brand-new community. One thing that I would have liked better is even though it was a shared room, it would have more of an individual bedroom, but it was way more expensive. What I didn't like also was the staff didn't seem as engaged. This was in the memory care section, and they didn't have a lot of room for Mom to walk around. She loves to go for walks and there was just a patio, so I didn't think that was appropriate, and there was a waiting list to get into the shared room. The person who took us on the tour was nice, but I was able to witness their activities director and she just seemed bored. They were doing a history lesson where they were talking about this day in history. She didn't seem all that engaging, like when I compared her to the activities director at the other place who's very excited to be with the residents. This person, it just seems like it's a job. She didn't care that much. They said they took them on walks but it's all street parking lot, so I don't know where they take them on walks."

"The staff is second to none. The are so kind and go the extra mile to ensure you feel at home here. That is the bottom line: this is really home, not an institution. The grounds are spectacular! It’s like living in a park. Also, the food is cooked here, not brought in like some facilities. The cooks will make you a custom meal if what is on the menu does sound good that day. I would give this 6 stars if I could!"

"Westmont Culver City is very nice and it's brand new. My mother has a one-bedroom, one-bath, and it's nice. I highly recommend it. The staff is great. They have a gym, chair aerobics for everybody, a movie theater, a restaurant, a courtyard, front and back entrances, private elevators, you have to use the key to get in, and front desk staff. She doesn't like the food that much."

"Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles was very clean and the staff was very helpful. It's gated so it's very safe. I saw the dining hall and then a one-bedroom. It was nice. We are looking for a bilingual or more of a Japanese-speaking facility, and this person helped me and showed me around. She was fully bilingual. So, that would have been good for my friend. It was a good experience."

"Everything at Palm Court was excellent. The apartments were beautiful. They had a movie theater, a fitness room, arts and crafts room, and all kinds of activities, like a walking club and all kinds of other things. "

"I toured with my mother and the rooms were nice and clean. It was a big facility with lots of room to walk on the grounds and also a lot of social activities. I also liked that there is a medical clinic which allows residents to have nearby care if needed. The location was a little further than desired, but the residents all seemed to be content here."

"City View was nice and beautiful, but right now I can’t afford it. The staff who gave us the tour was great and very nice. I would love for my mom to stay there. "

"I should have brought my mother here a long time ago. We tried the more corporate places, but my mother feels happier here. The care is unmeasureable and the staff is great to work with. I am able to be her son, and enjoy our time, and not her doctor or medication nurse. "

"My overall experience at Emerald Court was wonderful. It was great. I met a whole bunch of people. They took time to talk to me. It was very nice. I looked at one room and it overlooked the parking lot, which I knew my mother wouldn't like. It was also on the second floor. I asked if they had a first floor and she said in 30 days they were going to have one. We went down, and it had a little atrium off the sliding glass door. When you come out the front door, you'll see a beautiful courtyard. They're going to remodel the room. They're very amenable, giving us a $2,000 moving cost, and I'm hoping my mother is going to like it. I met the chef who has been there for 27 years, and before I left he brought me two big, homemade cookies from the kitchen. Everything is pretty comparable because they have a menu that you could choose from. Most of the places have two entrees, but they only have one entree, and then you can pick something else from the menu like sandwiches, hamburgers, and stuff like that. Their dining room is pretty plain. I told my mother it wasn't as fancy as the one she's in. They're going to open up their dining room next week. Yesterday, when we were there, they were playing bingo separated with their masks on. At least they have some activities, which my mother is not getting right now."

"The rooms were very nice. The staff was also very nice. The food was OK. The residents seemed active and involved, and there were some activities going on when I visited Belmont Village Hollywood Heights. "

"The food that I had at Walnut Village was incredible. I really felt like it was fine dining at a restaurant. The staff said this is normally what is served. She also said they based their food on points. You could spend your points for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or you don't have to use them at all, and you can use them for your guests. Their food was incredible. The staff said that this is a formal sit-down dining room, and you would come dressed nicely here. The only drawback with Walnut Village is that it sits in the middle of where Disneyland is. Other than that, they have valet parking, and it was beautiful inside. Other than that traffic, it was totally a 10. Everything was new, first-class, and clean. The only reservation I have is the location. They have all kinds of activities. They have a beautiful indoor pool, a beautiful area to exercise with lots of exercise equipments, a beautiful courtyard, a beautiful library, and a game room. It was just gorgeous."

"I toured and the place was delightful, homey, and welcoming. There were people around engaged and the residents were out, it felt friendly. The room that I saw was spacious and clean, and most of them had a lot of outside space. The staff who gave the tour was delightful, enthusiastic, and welcoming. I didn't sample the food but the dining area looked great. In terms of activities, I saw one impromptu game of mahjong and board games."
