Memory Care Communities in Calimesa, CA

"Me and my wife toured Westmont of Riverside. It certainly looked like it would meet all of our needs. The biggest factor in choosing to settle at Westmont is the proximity of the place to our daughter. It looked very good. I think the one feature that we were attracted to was that it did have a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. The person who toured us was very charismatic and she answered all of our questions, a very pleasant young lady."

"I've been in Hacienda Senior Living Assisted Living & Memory Care a little over a year. I'm in assisted living. I take care of myself. They just give me my medication, feed me, and shower me, and that's it. It's very good. I love it here. It's not like some of the other ones that are real big. This is smaller and you get more care. I have my own room. They have a fountain outside the grounds and they have fruit trees here. They take good care of you. They're really nice. I really like them all. It's excellent food. They give you so much food. We don't have a lot of activities. They're in the process of hiring somebody to come in here and do activities with us. There's another section where people need more help, have Alzheimer's, and stuff like that. The people where I'm at can take care of themselves, and there are only about five of us in this area. Value for money is OK."

"I visited Pico De Loro. Everything was very nice. I had a lot of resources but the cost was too much. They showed everything, the rooms, the bedding, and the dining areas. I sampled the meal and the food was good. The facility was great. It's very clean. They had very nice and good quality programs for them. The staff was helpful and easygoing."

"I really like it. My mom is getting the best care. I love the fact she has her own studio apartment in a cottage. She has all her own belongings around her. Great staff. Very friendly."

"This residence is very clean and homey. The food is tasty and nutritious. There are lots of activities to keep residents active, alert, and genuinely productive. For example, the kitchen serves produce which the residents grow. The staff is accommodating. When visiting cottage 3, which is designated for residents with severe cognitive impairment who might wander, I noticed that the residents were all clean, dressed, and up and about. They seemed quite content. "

"From the minute I walked into Villas at San Bernardino I was extremely satisfied. I felt like I was part of the family. The reception was very welcoming. The director came and introduced himself to us. I saw the dining room, which looked like a restaurant, and I was just totally impressed. The residents there looked happy and content. Then what they did for us, which just blew me away, was when we arrived about lunchtime, they served us lunch. They gave us the menu and let us sit in their room for a banquet. It was just a private room, like if your family were to come and eat with you. It was very impressive. The tour was impeccable. I felt like we were at a hotel, like at a Marriott or something. The setup is just beautiful. It's very clean and you can tell how well the place is by the residents. They had smiles on their faces, came up and spoke to us, and shared their opinions about the place with us. It's topnotch. I had driven by that place many times before and I thought it was way out of my budget, but after going in I realized it is possible. If my brother would help me, we would have to pay out of pocket. He could go there, but it would have to be a one-bedroom. The rooms were very nice. I was very pleased. It's somewhere I would want to go to myself, if I had to. There was a mix of people of ethnic backgrounds there, because we're African American, so it was nice to see some African American faces as well as caucasian faces and Hispanic faces. So that made me feel comfortable. They were excellent. They had a salad bar. I was so impressed."

"Sun City Gardens was a very nice place. The staff was neat and well dressed, and some were in uniforms. There were a lot of residents in wheelchairs and walkers, and they were well attended to. I saw a room with a bath, a built-in closet, and a small refrigerator. I also saw a 1-bedroom and a 2-bedroom apartment, which had more elaborate kitchens. They had great security at that place."

"I toured WellQuest of Menifee Lakes. When I got there, the power was out. They were doing well. They were doing some work, and this is a facility that has elderly, and they need elevators. I had gotten there right at dinner time, and people were unable to get downstairs to eat. The staff were taking meals to people who couldn't come down to the room. They didn't let the power being out faze them. They were handling it. Things were going on, but they still greeted me pleasantly and took the time. The residents were in the bar. Residents were everywhere. The residents were talking. Some of them didn't want to be in their room with no power, but I could see that they weren't. They were free to come and go as they pleased. The staff and everybody were very nice and helpful. I didn't have an appointment, so they didn't have to show me around, but they did. They took me to a room. They showed me the room as we were walking down the hall. The person I spoke with was making sure people were OK as they opened their doors. A very beautiful facility, but it's very small."

"I am a new resident, 2 weeks, and this is the place if you need assisted living. My wife and I share a cozy one bedroom apartment with our own furniture and we moved our sweet girl cat in with us. The amenities are great, the activities wonderful and the cuisine compares with a good restaurant, with infinite varieties of menu choices. The staff is friendly and professional, from Jennifer, the director and Karen, nurse in charge if caring and eager to help. I am grateful to found a home here with my wife.

"Sunny Rose Glen is very good, and we chose them after looking at six other places because they offer a better program. The staff is very good and cooperative, and we have no complaints about the food at all. It's just a clean and orderly place. It's just a small community so everything is all on one level, and getting around is easier."

"Rooms are always kept clean, bedding is new every week. Rooms are always tidy and clean. Smells fresh and clean all the time. Food is always fresh. Prepared each day. Caregiver always gives updates and calls when needed. Easy to talk with her and always have a clear communication line with her. House is well maintained and cleaned at all times. Residents are given meals with snacks, even late night snacks if requested. Visitation is open 7 days a week all hours."

"I visited Raincross at Riverside. The staff was very friendly. What we saw was great. It wasn't dirty, nobody was mean, and the people who were there looked comfortable. The lady that we talked to was very nice. We were able to check the rooms and the main dining area. They can improve on some of the amenities; some were not the best."

"I toured Citrus Place. It looks very well organized and clean. You could tell that the people there really care for their residents. The apartment looked very nice and comfortable. They schedule tours, and they have activities for the residents."

"We are so glad to have our family members in such a nurturing place. It has given us real peace of mind. "
