Memory Care Communities in La Palma, CA

"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 can not thank Martin enough for the compassionate and kind care that he provided for my mother’s partner “John”. We were in a dire situation and needed to make the difficult decision to place her partner somewhere that met his physical and mental needs. Not only was he provided a safe and clean home, but given the dignity he deserved. Carla (the house manager) is worth her weight in gold. Dementia is a cruel disease and so many times people suffering through it are dismissed or overlooked. Carla would go above and beyond to make our loved one feel heard and cared for. The house is bright and clean. It feels like a home rather than a facility. Our whole family is so grateful that we found a place the offers dignified care. Thanks to Martin, Carla, and everyone at Golden Eden. They are an example of how all care homes should be run."

"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."

"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."

"I toured Beach Terrace Assisted Living & Memory Care. It was bright with lots of natural sunlight. The interior, the way it was decorated was beautiful. The common space was huge. It just feels so welcoming. I saw the menu and it looked like a menu at a restaurant. What was on the menu was pretty interesting, like salmon, asparagus, squash, and stuff like that. I saw a shared room. It was nice. I like the semi-private room, and the room on each side was huge. You can really put a six-seating dining room table and a full-size bed. The shared bathroom was in between and they had doors from each side of the room for the bathroom. They had a big picture window. The staff was so gracious. He was so informative. The tour was guided by the guy who worked there, but the guy that I already had was the one who took me. He was the one who was already familiar with the place, and between what I heard and what I saw, I was more impressed with Beach Terrace."

"My stepmom is a resident of Rowntree Gardens, and what I like most is the responsive and caring staff. It is a Christian community, and it has many activities. The people that are living there are very nice. It's a wonderful community. It has an atrium in the middle. There's a lot of outdoor beauty in the gardens and a lot of outdoor space to mingle. They have doctors that come. They have a church and a full-time pastor. They have a beauty shop. They have a fully stocked library. They have rooms for private events that you can reserve. They have a little gift shop, a main dining room, and a fire lounge."

"Ivy Park at Seal Beach was super nice and extremely clean. There were no foul smells. The lady said they cleaned several times a day and you could tell that because there was no smell whatsoever in the assisted living or memory care. It's very up-to-date and very beautiful. They have a lot of things for them to do and the rooms were very nice. The lady showed us the menu, and it looked nice, too. She's very knowledgeable and very accommodating. She answered all our questions and spent as much time with us as we wanted because the tour was only scheduled for 90 minutes, and I think we were there for over two hours and she never rushed us off. She spent all the time with us."

"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 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. "

"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."

"My friend was a resident of Brookdale Garden Grove. The rooms were kind of neat. I thought they were okay. She had complaints about them always coming into her room, but it was probably because she was in assisted living. I think she had to supply her own fridge, but I'm not sure. She just had a problem with her mail, but other than that, I thought everybody was pleasant. She got to meet a few people and they had classes or something. There was a courtyard there."

"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!!"

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

"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."
