Memory Care Communities in Carson, CA

"The tour I had at Coral Oaks Care Living was decent. The staff was very friendly. They were really good with what they needed to do. I did not care for the facility as much though. I felt it to be outdated, and it had more of a hospital feeling to it. It seemed a little outdated from what other living situations were. The rooms were OK. It's more of the environment that everyone's in. So, they can't really move anywhere else besides the rooms. There weren't really facilities to go anywhere, and then their outdoor facilities were very basic. It was just a concrete patio and a wall around them. I understand that it is winter, but there were no plants. I could see there would be nothing to do, and if I was there and I was elderly, I would be bored out of my mind. I believe their rooms were shared or one room. It's like a hospital room setting where you can have one room for yourself or you can have two and you share. It's OK because you pay a little bit less for that. The reason I'm also listing it as a three is because they have a salad bar that they offer at all times of the day. You can just come over and get some potato salad, macaroni salad, and stuff. It was 11:00 when I went to go to see this facility, and it looked like they were out the day before, and then they put it back out. I would not eat it, and I would not have my father eat it. Nevertheless, the staff was willing to answer any questions. They showed me everything I needed to. They were going to work with me on all my dad's issues that he had."

"I toured THRIVE Boutique Senior Living-Redondo Beach, and the lady there, I guess she was the housekeeper, showed me around. The facility was adequate, but there's not very many rooms. There's maybe six to eight separate rooms. I thought it was too small and there didn't seem to be too many activities for the residents in memory care. If you were at the far end, like you cannot do anything and can't remember anything, I think it's great, but if you are halfway, like you're not all that forgetful, I think it's kind of depressing, because there are not many activities. They were watching TV and they had a kitchen. It's made of two stories and they have an elevator. If you want an intimate setting, it is a great place. The dining area was adequate, but I didn't try the food. I only saw that one worker there. I thought there should be at least two, and she's not the personnel. There's supposed to be a nurse or somebody other than her. It's in a residential area, too. When I went, I had a hard time finding parking unless you parked in their driveway, but residential areas usually have problems with parking, so it's probably not unusual."

"At the start, Peninsula Point by Cogir was absolutely wonderful! I toured over 12 facilities and researched over 20 possible places for my mom who has dementia. Peninsula had a very welcoming team who were attentive and made my mother feel at home. Since then, some of the team members have left and there have been some changes in staffing. The place was brand new at the time of move in and was very clean. It’s a large community for assisted living as well as having a separate, secured memory care. The memory care is what I’m most familiar with. Peninsula Point has a monthly calendar and tours a lot of various activities, such as Tai Chi. They, especially, have a lot of live music and holiday themed festivities. We participated in a grandparents’ day brunch in the main dining room. There are some activities that do not happen, such as a petting zoo that I came up for, but found out it was cancelled. They have a salon downstairs, an upstairs game area and an outdoor patio that isn’t fully utilized. I try to take my mom outside for some fresh air whenever the weather is nice. They recently got a community van to use for more outings. Since the start, my mother seems less satisfied and complains about the other residents as well as the food. She’s been reverting back to her native tongue so it’s been difficult for her to communicate. I have also, unfortunately found her room to be dirty and stained a few times, which since I’ve brought it up, has improved. Most of the staff are friendly, helpful and seem to truly care about my mother."

"My visit at Sunrise was nice. It was a little older, but the reason why I liked it was that they had activities going on. The only thing I didn’t like about it was their single rooms because there weren't many, and they were priced really high, so it was like a hot commodity. We really don’t want my mother to be in a double room. The staff was very nice. I had a really nice tour where I was greeted by several different people that were working there. I really like them. They would probably be our second choice if they had what we wanted. "

"My family sent my grandfather to live in this facility for the last several years of his life. His room was comfortable and the staff were friendly and professional. Whenever myself or another member of the family visited, we were greeted by a person at the front desk who signed in visitors and made us feel welcomed. My only experience with other assisted living facilities was the one my grandfather stayed at previously, and the care he received there was far inferior. Belmont seemed to be a place of rest and relaxation for him, where he had a spacious room and a comfortable life that allowed him to live happily for his last few years. Belmont encouraged activity and socialization among the elderly staying with them, which, in my opinion improved my grandfather's (and other residents') experiences there.While all care facilities tend to have some depressing elements (due to the nature of what an assisted living facility actually is), I believe Belmont did a great job emphasizing the good and minimizing the bad.

"My mother in law has been a resident for over 7 years. Never once during all the times we visited did my wife or I feel she was not being cared for. To the contrary, the facility was always very clean and sanitary. The mood is positive and uplifting. This review is being written shortly after my mother in law was placed on hospice care."

"Home R Us was very nice and clean. The lady there was, I supposed, the one who owns the place. It had pictures of her family all on the wall. The room they showed us could be for two people or one and it was very clean. It was just hot in the room (but those were very hot days, too). The living room had a nice sitting area. It's homey. They only have one big bathroom. The owner was kind of a young woman. She was very sweet and kind. She said they have activities. She didn't specify what they all do, but I saw books lying around and they have a big TV there. They don't have something like taking them out on excursions or anything."

"Great location. The home was beautiful and very inviting. Had 4 spacious rooms. Was looking for a family member who is looking in the area. Very nice backyard for family visits. Staff that I met were very nice and informative. Definitely my first pick."

"It has been a positive experience with Artesia Christian Home for the most part. My mom's room is pretty nice. It's a 1-bedroom with a full bath and kitchenette. The facility is also pretty nice and above average. They have a lot of activities for the residents, and the food is pretty good. The place is really clean and it's been kept up really well. They have nice furniture in the lounging areas."

"We went to Westmont of Cypress. It was gorgeous. It's a brand-new community. One thing that I would have liked better is even though it was a shared room, it would have more of an individual bedroom, but it was way more expensive. What I didn't like also was the staff didn't seem as engaged. This was in the memory care section, and they didn't have a lot of room for Mom to walk around. She loves to go for walks and there was just a patio, so I didn't think that was appropriate, and there was a waiting list to get into the shared room. The person who took us on the tour was nice, but I was able to witness their activities director and she just seemed bored. They were doing a history lesson where they were talking about this day in history. She didn't seem all that engaging, like when I compared her to the activities director at the other place who's very excited to be with the residents. This person, it just seems like it's a job. She didn't care that much. They said they took them on walks but it's all street parking lot, so I don't know where they take them on walks."

"My dad moved in a week ago. The place seems nice. The staff was amazing so far. I toured the place, and they have great rooms. It was spacious and good. I paid for a double room, but he is by himself because they're low on people right now. So he will be getting a roommate, I imagine. It seems like they keep them busy all day long. They have a calendar of activities. The first day there, he's on their Facebook page dancing like two hours after he got there. So that was a good one. They have so much room. They have a huge amount of walking area. I haven't seen that in any other place. It's all dementia and Alzheimer's there, so there's no assisted living. They can go outside, walk around, and circle. It's pretty cool. That's good for him because he's a walker. The place seems awesome."

"Hollenbeck Palms was beautiful. It's just that they wanted half a million dollars to get in. The staff was terrific. They have a bar and dance halls. They have somebody there in assisted living all the time, but you're not locked in your room, you can leave anytime. Everything was nice. They take you wherever you need to go."

"Westmont Culver City is very nice and it's brand new. My mother has a one-bedroom, one-bath, and it's nice. I highly recommend it. The staff is great. They have a gym, chair aerobics for everybody, a movie theater, a restaurant, a courtyard, front and back entrances, private elevators, you have to use the key to get in, and front desk staff. She doesn't like the food that much."
