Memory Care Communities in Brea, CA

"I went to Oakmont of Fullerton. It was high-end. Very expensive. The place was immaculate. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful."

"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."

"I toured Ivy Park at Fullerton, and there is nothing I didn't like about it. It was beautiful in every way. It seemed like a wonderful place and beautifully furnished. Everything was attractive, and there was lots of bright light. Many people gathered in one of the rooms, interacting with someone doing an activity with them. The dining room was gorgeous. Everybody seemed friendly and happy to be there, and a good number of people working around."

"I toured. The rooms were really nice; the majority were private. They had an open house type of event when I was there, which was kind of cool, and I met a few people. Liza was very nice. She gave me a good tour. They had some nice amenities like the library and entertainment room."

"My mother was at Richman Gardens in Fullerton for over 3 years and has just past away at the age of 88. She had dementia, COPD, and heart problems. I can't say enough about this facility, the workers were always friendly and very helpful and always gave my mother the best care possible even if she didn't want it. They always called me right away if something wasn't right about my mom and I trusted them with my mom. She loved the place and wasn't scared there at all. The place is small only 26 beds but that is exactly what I liked about it! The gardens are amazing and very relaxing. Sincerely Linda W. "

"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."

"My dad has just got there at Park Regency Retirement Center. I visited the location during my trip to California. It was quite busy at the time. Overall, I think the facility has a lot to offer. It's a very good and clean facility. During my visit, I had to make an appointment to meet one of the staff for them to tour me around. They provided me a lot of information about the location. I had to return to Texas, so I do not have any visitation to my father once he got in there yesterday. I haven't had a chance to see his room because I was just touring around the facility. I saw some of their dining area. They have a location where there were folks do physical therapy. They had a lot of staff overlooking at everybody. I went to the location where they had a physical therapy or exercise room. The buildings were not built in 2020. They've obviously have been there for a while, but they were very well-kept. The facilities were very clean, and the staff was very attentive. They have staff that spoke multiple languages. Someone spoke Spanish, which I can understand as well. They were very thorough in terms of making sure that I was vaccinated and checking my temperature before I was allowed to go in. They had a set of questionnaires to make sure that I didn't have any symptoms, and I thought that that was very thorough. They had a pretty big parking lot, but it was pretty much full around 11:00 or so. The parking lot was literally completely full, and I thought that was quite amazing."

"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 96 yr old mother moved into Sunrise over 2 months ago and she says she should have done it sooner! The staff is amazing, caring, concerned and learned my mother’s name as well as us, her daughters very quickly. The staff made the move in so easy and were able to give us great advice to make it easier. My mother loves the food. The menu are incredible, something for everyone no matter what your tastes are. There are so many varied activities, something for everyone. Once a month they invite the family for a themed dinner: Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day etc. The decorations are amazing as well as the table center pieces. And the food is soooo good! We haven’t missed one since we attended the first one. My mind is so at ease knowing my mother is well cared for 25/7 by wonderful and caring people. Would highly recommend Sunrise yo anyone!"

"My stepmom moved to Sunrise of Orange. It gives off a nice vibe. They're very caring, and the staff goes above and beyond. I was able to taste the food, and it was very good. The building is very clean and brand new. They offer painting, reading, piano, and socialization activities. It's a happy environment."

"After my father passed away, my brother and I started looking for a facility for my mother to spend her remaining years. After visiting several places, we found Walnut Village in Anaheim, Ca. Our mother has been a resident now for 5 years. It is a first class facility....that is no exaggeration. It is truly the quality of Celebrity Cruise Line on land. From the staff, the cleanliness, the dining room which looks like a 5 star restaurant that has menu items like Filet, Scampi, and beautiful salads and even a salad bar. To the piano lounge with "Happy Hour" every night. Residents can bring their own drinks or use "wine lockers" there. They offer various types of assisted living services including an entire memory care unit. The facility has a very unique way in determining the monthly fee you pay. The facility even has church services on site for various denominations as well a full exercise programs, library, arts and crafts room and even on-site hair salon. An underground parking garage is there for residents who drive. They have a shuttle that takes residents to appointments, shopping and even a day trip monthly to Pechanga Casino and wine country. Everything is included so no money is ever exchanged. 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms are offered and cleaning and daily nurse visits are provided. It is right near Disneyland so the residents can enjoy the nightly fireworks. If you want your loved one(s) in a first class living facility, Walnut Village is it!!"

"It was very clean and very beautiful. It's got beautiful gardens and beautiful accommodations. The staff gave me a tour of the memory care. They were very, very knowledgeable. They have crafts, yoga, and different activities. The dining room was beautiful. They also have a TV room that's very clean and very nice. Another thing was I don't have to make appointments to go see my sister if I place her there and people can go visit her. It's open 24 hours. So, that's a plus because sometimes you'd make an appointment and it's hard to get there. So, you're able to go there when you can. I'm in love with that place."

"I toured Kirkwood Orange, and it was nice, clean, and organized. The people who work there are pleasant and welcoming. I liked it. They have shared rooms with dividers in between. Most of the residents were watching movies when I was there, but they also had several activities available."
