Memory Care Communities in Brea, CA

"My parents will be moving into Oakmont of Fullerton. The staff was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and willing to answer the questions. The facility itself was very nice and up to date. The key factor for me when we went to do the tour that day was that the guy holding or conducting the music class was very engaging. Before I knew it, my dad was on the microphone singing and participating in their activity, even though we were just there visiting. They made them feel right at home. The rooms are very spacious and well laid out for safety purposes. The staff who did the tour was very knowledgeable and very friendly. They have exercise, a walking path, a movie room, and a fitness center. They have a shuttle to take them off the campus, where they could go to the supermarket or off-site."

"My friend moved into Bliss Care Home. This is a boarding place. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are very nice. Everything is very nice. It has a nice backyard, lots of fruit trees, an area where they can sit out, and a covered gazebo. Their living atmosphere is friendly, quiet, and nice. They have activities for the guests. The other three women that are there are nice. She has someone to converse with. I would put someone in there again if I had to. I would use their services again. I haven't found a problem with them."

"Mother has been in here since the middle of September. I have a good feeling about it. The staff is very friendly and outgoing, and they call me all the time to let me know how things are going. It's close to my home, and Mother loves the food. "

"The grounds are beautiful and peaceful especially the water fountain ,such a peaceful place to walk around. The staff is very kind and caring. I highly recommend this community for your loved ones."

"I visited this facility for a tour. It is a secured, Alzheimer's/Dementia facility and the lock is on the gate facing the front yard. If a resdient trys to open the gate, the alarm will go off. It is not a wander guard facility. This was originally a private home that was purchased by a private company for assisted living/Alzheimer's care. It is located on a nice, quiet, private street in a safe neighborhood. The exterior is inviting, with a rose garden in the front and roses in surrounding gardens in the courtyard. The resident's seem well card for and happy. I observed a dining room experience and they were all raving about the homemade food. They have alot of private rooms and private suites. The care is individualized and the staff seem very dedicated to the resident's. I would consider this facility for a loved one. The downside would be that they take some resident's who are very ill and in active. "

"My aunt and uncle moved to Bayshire Yorba Linda. They can accommodate a lot of things. The grounds are kept clean and the atmosphere is very inviting. It was very spacious. It didn't seem like everything was kind of crammed in. The people that we met there were very helpful and very kind. We haven't run into any problems as far as helping my aunt and uncle. The food is very good. My uncle is not as social as my aunt. Even within memory care, they have a lot of activities to stimulate their brain, and to keep them busy. We've been very happy with the available activities. The value of memory care is awesome. It's pretty reasonable."

"Park Regency Retirement Center was a good and clean community. My mother told all her relatives she talked to that she had a great time, the food was good, and the staff was good and caring."

"As a resident of two years,and a highly educated person, I am fully disappointed in how this administration is as phoney as I have ever experienced. I also find them wholly unqualified to deal with residents, problems, outcomes. There is no follow through or any explanations as to why not. The lack of conscious thinking or acting is appalling. This is no place I would ever send a loved one. "

"My mother-in-law moved to Walnut Valley Senior Living Community. What I liked the best about this place is their staff and cleanliness. It's a very clean place and the staff is very friendly and right on point about exactly what's going on. They know everything. It's a very well-structured building. I've seen them put out bingo nights, They have other entertainment that goes on on the property. They have a big TV room with the ladies that are always sitting in there talking and there's a library. The activities are overall very good. The value for the money is good."

"My mother is in the dementia unit of Sunrise. She’s getting good care there. All the time they have a program. They have music, touch therapy, dog therapy and they just talk about memory issues. The facility is very well maintained, clean, and very homey atmosphere. It’s just a moderate size facility for the memory care -- maybe about twenty individual the most; so it’s just big enough so that they have enough caregivers for all the individuals that are there. I highly recommend the facility. The staff is excellent and very caring. They’re diligent and they understand that the residents are really fragile and they talk to them and they touch them. They’re very good. I’d be very comfortable with them. "

"My mom moved into Sunrise of Orange. The people were very nice and outreaching. They seem to care. I would recommend it in a heartbeat. It's a new establishment. My mom feels good there. We're just really extremely happy with the facility. My mom has a vacant apartment, so she has to supply everything in her room, which is fine. She got an empty room with a bathroom that had a roll of toilet paper and a bar of soap. She's got a refrigerator and a nice little dinette in it. She's very happy with it. She's having a hard time taking baths, so they come in and give her help. I think it is overpriced, but that's the way life is, I guess. I'm always getting texts from them. They called me immediately. All of them are so helpful. My mom doesn't want to leave the place now. She's so happy with her little apartment. She has done a 180-degree turnaround. It's worth the money at this point to see my mom so happy. You get a menu, and you choose from that menu what you want. It's a very good place for people who are not ready to be taken care of completely. My mom can come and go when she wants. The only restriction I put on was that she could not go to the park next door by herself. But other than that, she's doing everything on her own. They come in and wake her up. They make sure she takes her medicine. They make sure she gets a shower and all that stuff. They have games, painting, and field trips. They do activities with them."

"I was impressed with Walnut Village. It's sheer perfection. I would've been very happy going there, but it just wasn't time for me to go into that kind of a facility. The person during the tour was charming, very knowledgeable, and very pleasant. He made it sound like it would be wonderful. The dining area was like going to a very fancy restaurant. It was really a nice place. They also have a little coffee shop. I saw one woman working out in the gym with a trainer. Everybody was so pleasant and so happy. It's a lovely place."

"Everything was great; I liked everything about it. They have a memory care ward that was very clean, and it was nice inside and outside, as well. They provided activities for the residents."

"My mom is moving into Kirkwood Orange. I've gone by it for years, and when I finally went inside, I was like, "Wow, it's as nice inside as it is outside." I've eaten there, and the food is good. They have an ice cream parlor and people are enjoying that, a big sitting area, a dining room, and a really pretty view outside their windows. The staff and residents are super nice."
