Independent Living Communities in Laguna Hills, CA

"Crestavilla - a Kisco Signature Community was elegant. The way that it was built, it had all the bells and whistles in the main place where you would go and have dinner and that kind of thing. That was very, very nice. One thing I like is that they had a movie theater and that was nice to have. They have like three movies going on in a day, which is very, very nice. They had a rooftop. The place was beautiful, it was close to the ocean and everything, but they were right up against the slope. Upstairs, they had a lovely place to walk around. If you were a gardener, you could garden up there, and you could do crafts, too. The one thing I did not like is that there was no view except for the sky. I just thought it was a shame that they were up against the slope. So that was my negative. The rooms were smaller. The kitchen was nice and adequate. The gentleman who showed us around was very much a people person. He had only been there for three months, so he did not know everybody's name. I like the location. It was right off the main road. It had some patio areas and a pool. It had crown molding, and you could tell that they had put quality first when they built it, and it's not that old. They had valet parking and different floor plans. The staff who toured me was good. They were really organized and very clean, too. "

"It was a beautiful facility. Everybody was active. They had different activity rooms. A bus also took the residents to different places. A chef ran the dining area and the food looked fabulous. It was like a hotel. But the place was not suitable for my mom's needs. They also had additional charges for additional services. "

"I went to Atria Golden Creek. Both memory care and assisted living had a great bunch of people. It's a nice facility. It had good caregiver programs for memory care. It's a nice physical layout. The salespeople were very informative and very kind. It looks like a great place. They have an intensive scheduled program, music, art, trips, well-scheduled days and nights, and a good ratio of caregivers. The rooms were very well designed and attractive. It was well run and it's an aesthetically appealing environment. The people I interacted with were excellent."

"Mom has her own apartment in Park Terrace. I can visit her anytime I want. I think the area is very safe. I would say she's definitely eating a balanced diet. But I think they could be a little more exotic with their food, a little more varied. The residents appear to be active and happy, has a lot of activities, they do a lot of brain games, and there's a park nearby, a lot of things you can walk around. The facility have a very warm and fuzzy feeling. It appealed to me because it seem to be more intimate. "

"My mother in law stayed for the 1 month respite and after just 2 weeks decided she would come to live permanently from West Texas. The Staff have all been super friendly, attentive and ready to make any adjustments necessary for her care. Every day thete is a list of activities and social events for the residents. The facility is extremely clean, smells fresh and the dining staff are A+. My mother in law is very excited to come and live here very soon as we get her new cottage ready for her. "

"This is a professionally run and maintained facility. Whenever my dad touches the button on his wrist a caregiver seems to come out of nowhere within a minutes time. The meals are nutritional and served elegantly at the dining room which has a wonderful view of the ocean. The residence is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. "

"It was very nice and clean. It didn’t smell like antiseptic or urine. It was scent-free, and I really liked that. It was in a good neighborhood, and it looked like it had plenty of activities. The rooms looked very nicely sized. The party room, library, and game room were very nicely appointed. The woman who assisted me was very nice, and I felt especially good about the fact that she was my agent, and I felt like she had a similar life experience with her own parents. So, that was a good match for me, and I knew she had an idea about senior living. "

"We toured the Pacifica Senior Living South Coast's memory care unit. Their facility was a little more constrained, less open, and less of an area to live your life, I guess. The staff who assisted us during the tour was very cooperative and open enough to answer questions. The room we saw was very nice-looking and clean, but one thing we did not like about it was that it had a shared bathroom."

"We were residents of Park Plaza. I liked it very much. It was small, but it was very friendly, with lots to do, and the people were coming and going. They try to keep you busy with different things in the afternoon, but there were not a lot of activities going on. We had a nice 1-bedroom apartment, and it was sufficient for us. The food was good, they had transportation for doctors' visits, they took picnics over to Hart Park, and they did quite a bit considering most of the people were not too anxious to do much. It was a nice facility. The price was comparable; it was adequate. The facility is next to a catholic church, and we’re catholics, so that was a plus for us."

"With the environment at The Meridian at Anaheim Hills, I felt like I walked into a hotel. It gave me a different feeling. Walking down the halls, everybody had decorations out on their doors. Residents have small open spaces before their front doors and everyone was decorating them for Christmas. I love the rooms. They were very nice with lots of closet spaces. They even had full kitchens in them. They were wonderful. We had lunch at The Meridian and it was excellent. They did have a number of gluten-free patients, so they were able to accommodate me very nicely. They have a gym, so you have an opportunity to use any of the equipment in there. The lady that took us around knew the community well and answered my questions. It was very thorough. We spent quite a bit of time talking to the activities director. She does many creative things with the residents. She was very fun to talk to. Every staff member that I talked to or who helped me was topnotch, polite, and more than helpful. They have a lot to offer."

"Corona RCFE was very nice, and the people were very friendly. The grounds were good. The room is perfect for my mother who is 92. She just needs a room with a little bed, a chair, and a TV. That's all she needs. It looks like she can go out and go to the dining room area, and things like that, and they have those things available too. The staff who helped me was very friendly and answered all the questions. She was very good. I didn't sample the food, but the dining area was fine. For activities, they have a little room where people can go and they can meet with each other and play games and so on, so that's fine."

"Walnut Village is a high-end luxury buy-in. It is an equity purchase, so you have to buy your way in there. It’s $3,000 - $5,000 on the minimum every month in addition to the purchase. The apartments were excellent, very nice, medium sized, not huge or anything like that. But it is very upscale, and they have got tremendous eating facilities. They have a memory care, and they even got a total rehab side. "

"I went to Vista Corona Senior Living for my grandmother. What I liked best about it was the atmosphere. It was very warm and friendly. Everybody was accommodating. They were very nice and very friendly throughout the entire tour, even the people in the lunchroom. Both the guests and the staff were very welcoming. What I didn't necessarily like, and I don't know what was going on on one of the floors, is that their carpets needed to be cleaned."
