Memory Care Communities in Long Beach, CA

"This was one of the better assisted living facilities I've ever visited as a student volunteer. The institution is divided into two wards: those who need constant medical attention and supervision and those who can care for themselves. Every week, I visited the later ward to provide some recreational activities. Each of the residents gets their own room and bathroom, which they decorated with their personal touch. The overall atmosphere is a gentile and friendly one. A few of the residents gets upset or depressed because they haven't seen their family in a while. But some of the residents who have lived there longer try to cheer them up by inviting them to tea or some recreational game. The supervisors always make sure that the residents have something to do most of the time. They have an aviary with some of the most charming singing birds, and a rec room with musical instruments and books. I understand that to upkeep a facility like this one comes at a considerable costs, which is the main compliant I've heard from other families. But, their loved ones receive the care that they should be receiving from home."

"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."

"Westmont of Cypress was practically brand new. Everything was shiny and had a nice finish to it. It had an exercise pool, which I found would be very helpful. You could walk in the pool for exercise. They gave us lunch, and it was delicious. Everybody seemed very friendly. What I didn't like was that it was all concrete with just a few shrubs around it. There was a nice patio, but there was absolutely no green space. The staff who assisted us with the tour was very helpful. She sat us down to lunch and said she'd be back, but she never came back. And so, we finally just left on our own."

"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 liked the people in Ivy Park at La Palma, and the whole place. When we walked around, everybody looked happy. Nobody looked like they were bored or not enjoying themselves. It's like somebody was helping out everybody to make them feel better. It just looked very pleasant that way. Mom is in the memory care. She has a private apartment that's very nice. It's got a big window, which was the thing we liked best, because she loved her windows at home. She'd stand in front of it a lot. It's very roomy. I was very pleased with it. They have different areas with the TVs on, and areas where they just have music playing. They have snack rooms for them to just sit at a table with themselves, or friends, and eat something. I went over there yesterday, and that's what Mom was doing. She was sitting at a table with two other women and two men, and they were all having coffee and having an early lunch. I have not tried the food myself, but I watched them eat, and it looked really good. She had a half of a grilled tuna sandwich and a bunch of cut up fruit, like watermelon and cantaloupe, and it looked very appetizing. The staff was all very nice. I haven't had a problem with anyone and I've talked to probably four or five of them. The activities are very good. I know with memory care they're a little more limited, but Mom had three or four of these little bracelets that was like stretchy fabric or elastic fabric so that it went over her wrist, and they had pretty little balls and stuff on them. They were lovely and she had made them there. Their price is maybe a little bit higher but for what they offered and just everything. It was worth every penny."

"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."

"Clearwater at South Bay was nice. It was pretty big. The staff who gave us the tour was very friendly. The layout of the rooms were really nice. They have a bus that will take the residents to places, like doctor's appointments, and shopping. Then they have a variety of onsite activities, but they are not doing a lot of them right now because of the pandemic."

"Meadowlark Gardens I was very nice and clean. It was a regular house in a regular neighborhood, and that was what I was looking for. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very friendly and helpful. I saw some residents there in their wheelchairs watching TV. I saw a private room, and it was very clean and very nicely decorated. The courtyard had tables and stuff."

"I toured Oakmont of Torrance. From what I could see, it was fantastic. It was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were nice. They were not as big, but you can have a single room or a double room. There was a choice. They showed us the menu, and it looked wonderful. They had a wonderful area that was almost like a bar, and they had a game room. We went into the bar, where they had happy hour. It was a beautiful room. It had tables and easy chairs. It was very attractive. They had a sitting room with a fireplace next to that. However, the dining room was not as bright as the other places because everything was on the first floor and maybe a little darker. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. They had a beautiful lobby. They had a nice big patio garden in the back. It was very, very nice. We went with a lady that showed us around, and she was terrific."
