Memory Care Communities in Diamond Bar, CA

"Oakmont of Capriana is relatively small, like 100 people, and it's a CCRC, which is what we're looking for. In the independent living, the apartments were relatively large with high ceilings and they had nice views (the place we're looking at has a view of a garden and a koi pond). Then over beyond, there's a pool. It had all the amenities: the gym, the library, and things like that. The staff was all very helpful. Everybody was friendly. They responded to phone calls and they were just very good. We had great food there and we met with residents and talked with them. It was a good experience. They also do a great job with the cleanliness."

"Nice rooms. Great food. Caring staff. It is very beautiful. I have my aunt there, but I would not hesitate to live there myself. It's like living on a cruise ship."

"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 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!"

"Claremont Manor was too expensive. I didn't have any food there. I really like it, though. The people who assisted me were friendly. The common spaces and the rooms were very clean and well taken care of. They're nice, too."

"We moved our mom here 1 1/2 years ago. The ladies and this facility are amazing. We would recommend them to anyone with a family member that has dementia. They treat everyone with dignity and respect. They have 24/7 care. They truly care for the residents in their care. "

"I was very impressed with Meridian at Chino. I like them. The facility is beautiful. The rooms are spacious and nice. The staff is very nice and friendly. Stacey, the director, was so knowledgeable and helpful. She's willing to work with families to place your parents there. If you have trouble with finances, they have some type of program that will assist families, so there won't be a financial burden on them, which I found great. They were wonderful. They are caring and willing to help anybody out. When I was in the office with Stacey, she offered me water, snacks, and things like that. I was able to tour the dining area, which is also beautiful. It looks like a fancy restaurant. The facility is like a beautiful resort when you walk in."

"Claremont Place is a wonderful home for my 90 year old mother with dementia. The attendants and other staff are caring and thoughtful. They all know Mom by name, even those who don't work in Memory Care directly, and treat her well. The rooms are good sized and clean, a good variety of meals are provided, snacks, games, and other activities are available during the day. One of the great things about their Memory Care section, is that the residents can go outside and walk or relax on their own in the nice-sized gated area. They also guide MC residents through cooking/baking activities a couple times a month, enjoying the resulting treats as a group. The community holds family events a few times a year (Mother's Day Tea & Father's Day activity, Easter Brunch, Fall event with petting zoo, Trunk or Treat at Halloween, Luau,etc). My children & grandchildren have enjoyed attending some of these events. My Mom has lived at Claremont Place in Memory Care for over two years now. I have never regretted this decision, as so many of the staff/caregivers treat her with the respect & affection she deserves."

"Mom is moving here. We liked the security for the memory side of it. The young lady who gave us the tour was very open and very honest about other things. We liked the cleanliness of the facilities, and the cleanliness of the people that work there. We looked at the menu too, and the menu was overseen by the nutritionist. They have a nurse that comes in periodically, and because my mom would be on the memory side, they do have people that check up on them 24 hours a day. They're always looking to make sure that their full attention is with them, even though they have a wide variety of individuals that live there. The attention to each one and their way of doing things is something that impressed my sister and I. You have a single room where the person is himself, or the one where they share a room with someone else, but they do an extensive review of each one, and they can match the people to be in the same room together. You can tell that everything is nice and clean, and the outside is nice and clean, and the grounds are clean. She even allowed us to see some of the people that live there, helping them clean the rooms. And they have watering stations. But basically, it's like little sections where they have water constantly, which is very important. So we like that as well. We were very satisfied with them."

"We toured Clearwater at Glendora. It looks pretty new, well-kept, and has a lot of decorated places to sit, lots of activities going on, and recreational facilities. The food was good."

"My mom stayed at Ivy Park at Bradford and we still go back there quite often. They've invited my mom to come for music since once a week they have music and happy hour. Everybody knows my mom there. She doesn't remember them as much, but they remember her. She stayed in their assisted living and had a beautiful room with a beautiful view. All the caregivers were very kind, considerate, and helped us when her dementia started to get really bad. They were very cautious and careful with her as she is diabetic. They are very sweet people. The administrator there is very welcoming and very loving, it was what drew us to them in the first place. It's a very serene environment too and they play a lot of games. My mom was never into games or anything, but they have a lot of games and activities, and they're constantly engaging with the residents. They have beautiful meals and even family time. They have picnics, a luau, and mothers and fathers day things. They also have a Halloween festival where everybody dresses up. I have some grandkids who would come out and just be present for my mom and it was a pleasant experience. It's expensive but if I had the money, she probably would have stayed a little longer. Her care needed more, and she couldn't stay but they're a great place."

"My parents are at Glen Park at Glendale, and it's going great. They have adjusted to this better than the assisted living they had been at previously, and the staff seems more attentive. Overall, it's very good. It's very clean and very well kept. It has a Hollywood theme with famous old movies off of the wall, and it gives them a lot to talk about. The room that they got was immaculate, and the food was pretty good. It felt homey."

"I like all the activities at Aqua Ridge of Montclair, as well as the socialization, and the fact that I don't have to cook. They have three meals a day in a restaurant-style setting. The staff was very friendly. They offer transportation to doctor appointments. They have exercise rooms and a hair salon (they have a person outside the community who comes in once or twice a week for that). The facilities were very clean and very pretty."

"We toured Ivy Park at Claremont. It seemed very up-to-date, very clean, and very nicely decorated. The people seemed happy, and lots of good activities were going on. They had a dining area. They had recreational areas, private spaces to relax, outdoors, and good landscaping outside. The staff was very helpful and very transparent."
