Independent Living Communities in Temecula, CA

"My mom has not moved in yet, but she's going to in a month. She'll have a studio, and she'll be comfortable there. Their staff seemed to be very helpful, caring and excellent. They have all kinds of card games, puzzles, entertainment, movie every night at 6:00 and an exercise group. There's also a swimming pool and a library. "

"The caregivers in the memory care cottages are amazing. The overall staff strives toward making sure proper care is provided for the individual. I feel my mom is loved and cared for, and an relieved to have found a safe and comfortable home for her."

"My husband was in a different facility in Hemet. After he was approved through Medi-cal with a shared cost I began looking for a different facility. I looked at the Village first and stopped looking. The whole process took about 2 weeks and he was moved immediately. The care is excellent. He does not get actual rehab but a rehab aide comes in 5 times a week and works with his legs and arms which the other facility does not offer. The food here is very good. I have nothing bad to say at all. When you go into his room it is very homey and warm. I am glad I found this great place. The staff, facility, food, and care is the best I have found. "

"I was treated very well during the visit. As matter of fact, they’ve called me quite often to see how things are going. The staff was friendly. They were informative and were very accommodating. They had a swimming pool, an exercise room, a common dining room area, and planned activities. The Camelot had a good atmosphere; it just wasn’t the type of thing for me, but it was clean and well lit. They seemed to be on top of everything. "

"I was impressed with Brookdale Sunwest because it was really well maintained and quite beautiful. If I still needed a place, I would consider it. The upkeep was pretty immaculate. I was pleasantly surprised because Hemet is known for being a very nice place and it was just a gorgeous place. They have different levels. They had separate little villas, and they had the apartments in the building. The grounds were all beautiful. Everyone was very nice, attentive, and concerned with getting us the best place possible. They're very helpful."

"Arcadia Place is one of the places I really liked. The one that they showed me was a studio on the ground floor and it had an exterior door to the parking lot. For me, this would be very good. It had water damage though, and it's not going to be available for another month to 90 days. It's just one of the few that they have there, but it's a very large area for that type of place. It has a little kitchenette, which is good. It's about 500 square feet, which is a pretty good size for one room. The other thing is there's a zero community fee. There are no additional charges, but the cost is a little high for me. It's $2700. The staff was very good. I didn't get the person that I initially talked to, but that worked out OK. The manager showed me the place, but when I called him back about availability, that's when they told me that they had water damage. A lot of other people were affected as well, so they have to do some repair. The cleanliness and structure of the building were very good. You walk into kind of like the initial area right there. It's like a meeting room, and there are offices along the way, and then on the ground floor, there's a large community room and the eating area, which is kind of restaurant style."

"We looked at both assisted and independent living facilities. It was very good. The staff was very nice, even people who we weren't directly interacting with knew everybody by name. They seemed very helpful, very patient, and helping people with walkers to and from the meals or common areas. Everybody seemed happy. They had assisted living in their main buildings. The rooms were nice and well kept, and the layouts were good. The independent living was outside of their main facility, and they've got villas, which were one and two-bedrooms with full kitchens. They're very nicely laid out, you've got your own washer and dryer in your space, a full kitchen, and your own little yard area where you can have plants. For somebody who's mobile and in relatively good health, that was a really nice option. The independent living was a 5/5, and the assisted living was a 4/5. It was a really nice facility."

"I was impressed with the quality of the staff, the overall condition, and the location. Their schedule for meals is very different from any other facility, and they have an activities schedule. "

"I toured Westmont of Escondido. They were pretty much all-inclusive as far as my needs were. I liked all their facilities. It was well taken care of. The man I spoke with mentioned that a lot of the staff have been there for a long time, and that's good, too."

"Westmont Village is a nice facility, just a little pricey. Other than that, it was nice, it's huge. I think my mom would get lost there, it's so big. If she decides to go there, they'll have someone that'll shadow her until she gets used to where everything's located. It can be overwhelming because it's really large. They have a lot of amenities to offer. It's like a world within itself. They have everything that a person could need or want. I was shocked at how big it was, and it's well-maintained like it is. I think it's worth it. It's a little pricey, but I'm at it. It's a great place, I think. They showed us everything except for the memory care. We didn't need to see that. The staff is very knowledgeable of what they had to offer. Even though he had been there a short period, he's only been there a short time, but he knows everything that they had offered. He was able to answer any questions that we have or concerns. They have a stove and microwave. I'm surprised that they have stoves in there. They have a swimming pool, exercising, and they even have fitness therapists to work with people with leg and joint pains, stuff like that."

"I visited a very brand new memory care unit called Park Terrace in Rancho Sta. Margarita. It was very clean and modern. It did have 12 beds in each unit. They also had friendly staff. Also besides this one, they were also opening another memory care unit. They also had regular senior living. Since they were just starting, one of the directors was a little concerned about their being equipped to handle my husband's needs in later stages, and so for future patients, I would just say to check what they're able to offer for your particular loved one based on what the stage they're in. "

"I have lived in Fountain Glen at Temecula for two years now. I live in an apartment, and it is very nice. I cook my own food, and I have my own dining area. We have a weight room, a workout room, a swimming pool, and a spa. "

"It's for 55 and older. I haven't been around enough, but I like it very much. I have a lovely apartment, and the people and the staff here seemed very nice and very helpful. It's just a friendly atmosphere. I have a computer room, a nice kitchen with granite countertops, two bedrooms and two baths. It has an electric stove which I am thrilled about. They have exercise, trips and ice cream Sundays. They have a nice clubhouse, a library and a dining area where you can go and have parties. I moved in last month and I would definitely recommend Fountain Glen at Grand Isle. "

"It was a very nice-looking complex and they seemed to care about all of their people involved. I thought it was a good spot. The staff was very friendly and informative. They explained everything to the point where you didn't really need to ask any questions. They covered everything. They talked to all the people they passed in the complex like they were friends and knew each other. It was really nice. The facilities were very fresh and very clean. The layout was good. There was nothing to complain about. It was a really nice-looking complex. It was an attractive place."
