Memory Care Communities in Murrieta, CA

"I was surprised at the size of the rooms. The menu looked delicious and to know if you don’t care for the 2 entrees you do have the choice of hamburgers and sandwiches. Steve M. was full of information and thorough. He answered every question we asked. The staff was friendly."

"I toured this community after hearing so many great things about it. I was not disappointed. The grounds are lovely and the staff are friendly. They even greeted us while walking around. We stayed for lunch and the food was delicious."

"My friend will move into WellQuest of Menifee Lakes. The staff was very caring, and it's a nice place to live. It was also affordable and convenient, as it's close to where I live. The food there was excellent."

"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 went to Sun City Gardens. They all seemed very friendly and happy. The individual who gave the tour was walking around talking to everybody. It was apparent that they were very close. He was very nice and very friendly. It was very clean and very well designed. They had nice gardens. The room size was good. It wasn't too small and it had a nice open layout where wheelchairs would have been able to fit and go in and out of the room."

"I have lived for 3 months it has been an adjustment but I am adjusting now . Love that my cat has his own area in the patio which is important to me. I am going to join some of the clubs soon ."

"I toured Chardonnay Hills Care Home. It's a house with wide aisles, which was great for wheelchairs. The kitchen and the living room were spacious. The floors were wood, so there weren't any smells."

"I toured Regency Fallbrook. They had a lot of creative activities they put together for seniors to enjoy their social time and they're reaching out and having that human connection. It's like being at home, you're living with a bunch of people. The rooms are very nice. The staff was very nice and professional. They seem to be concerned about the people that they take care of. My only concern with them is that they are so overly expensive that when you have people like my mom who is a retired schoolteacher with a fixed pension, it can be hard to stay in places like that because they just can't afford it."

"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."

"It was clean and organized. I like the setup inside. But what was a drawback was where my mother was going to stay; she would be outside, in like a studio apartment. And she had to leave there to go in, and I said, "No, that's not going to work for her." That was the number one drawback. The staff member who gave the tour was very nice and thorough. Even though it wasn't a fit for my mother, it was still a good facility. I liked that they had trips for the seniors there. Everything was okay. The dining room was very nice. I liked the decor. Everything was well-lit. The lighting was perfect. They have a little area set up if they want to sit outside."

"The location of Maple Guest Home was perfect. The facility was excellent. I liked the patient-to-staff ratio. Everyone was very professional. I feel that they would be able to perfectly supply the need that we need for my mom. They have a place outside. Mom likes outside to where she can be nice and comfortable and get sunshine. I liked the whole atmosphere."

"I love Brookdale Sunwest. I was very impressed with it. I like the setup. It is all indoors, so I feel safe for my mother. It's clean and organized. I met friendly staff. I asked about medicines, and they said they would order them. My mother would have a Life Alert device on her, which I like. They provide three meals a day. I saw some activities. They would clean the rooms. I'm really happy with them. If I had to go, I would like to be there, too. I like the furniture they have in the dining room, and I like how the lobby is set up. It's very nice. I looked at everything. The dining room was very nice. Everything was up-to-date."

"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."

"Westmont of Riverside is a beautiful community surrounded by 55-plus housing, so it's a very normal neighborhood-like environment that you drive through to get to their facility. It had a nice little fountain in the front, lots of parking, and it was beautiful and quite lovely. We were late, we called them first, and they were very gracious about it. The lady who helped us was very professional. She was a little off-putting at first, but I think that's because we were so late and we were probably interrupting her schedule, but she got over it quickly enough. She was very pleasant and certainly knew what she was talking about. They had a lot of things for people to do. They have a lovely library that is huge. We also went by what she called an art room. It was dark, no one was in there at the time, so I don't know exactly what they had in there, but she said that is where they have painting and stuff. They also had a sort of thing like when you're in old high school and there are recesses in the wall with glass where awards go. They had those types of things, and they had celebratory seasonal things displayed there. It stands out because nobody else did it. They had what looked like a giant activities room where they played Bingo. She said they also had various things that went on there at that particular time; they were doing bingo. One standout thing there, and I can only give the very basics of it, is that they had an on-site doctor. You don't have to use the doctor, but in probably all the old people's cases, they're all going to have doctors, and if you move a distance, which my sister would be, she's going to have to find another doctor within her group. While she's looking for a doctor, they have an on-site doctor, so she could sign up with them. It doesn't have to, though; they were clear about that. Most of the things that these old people are going to have going wrong with them are colds and flu, and they need shots and basic stuff that a GP is efficient for. It's really convenient to be able to book a doctor right there on-site. You can also get your pharmacy needs there, which is also nice. You don't have to, it's clear, but you could. They also had transport there, where if your doctor was off-site and you booked an appointment, you could book transport with them to get to the appointment."
