Memory Care Communities in Pasadena, CA

"We are at Sage Glendale. It's not like being at home. You wear a pendant around your neck and then a caregiver will show up and attend to your request. That's principally why we decided to look for assisted living, because my husband has Parkinson's and moving him physically was beyond me. Now, if he needs to get out of bed or out of a chair or get dressed or something, a caregiver will come and move him or get him out of the bed or that sort of thing. Also, we get three meals a day and housekeeping. Mostly the caregivers that attend to us are women. They generally have good English, and they're helpful. They seem to know what they're doing. The food is fine. Of course, it's somewhat limited. If you're at home, you can have anything you want. They have a kitchen, there are plenty of food available, and there is a variety. There are lots of activities. There are walks, a guiding club, and book clubs. They show featured movies, they have a little theater there, and there are games. There are plenty of activities scheduled. Sometimes, they have outings. They have a van and a driver, but you have to book them ahead. If you have a medical appointment, the driver might be tied up, and so you can't rely on them. So that's the drawback with them. It is in a convenient neighborhood where you can walk to things. It's close to Glendale Galleria, a park, and a library, and so on. It's got those advantages."

"My mother is in Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles. She speaks only Japanese and the nice thing is they have Japanese-speaking caregivers and Japanese cuisine. They can select either continental or Japanese cuisine. All staff and residents are vaccinated and strict protocols are in place. They have a lot of activities and volunteers from the Japanese community come out and do things in Japanese for them, such as daily exercise, karaoke, movies and small bands. They have beautiful gardens, a huge koi pond, waterfalls, rock sculptures, and bonsai trees within the grounds. All the staff are incredible and they do everything to help the residents. They've just remodeled everything, and it's a very reasonably priced. AWESOME"

"Hollenbeck Palms is a nice place, a good place. I went there first when I was considering my first choice for my aunt because I went there a couple of years ago for a funeral and I really liked it. Two years ago I wasn't visiting per se, I was just going there for a funeral and now I just found the locale and I just remembered it. When I went there for my aunt, I wasn't sure if it was reasonable, the price or the cost. I don't know what I'm looking at. Now we feel that, unfortunately, the care that my aunt needed is a little pricey there too for her. It's a little expensive, but I was very impressed that they have a gym, their dining hall is very nice, and I really like their chapel for religious services there. I like historical places, so I'm also impressed by that. The grounds are very nice, well kept, and maintained. Even the room that we looked at as a possible place for my aunt to stay was very nice. The only thing I was concerned about was that I know that in the shower she's gotta step up, but they did say they're able to redo that so that way it would just be a walk in."

"Belmont Village is lovely and the Ferrari of assisted living. Everything about is excellent. It was large and daunting. The dining area is incomparable, like going to a restaurant, and the food is delicious. The services and amenities are top of the line, and they have a 24/7 nurse staff; however, you have to pay for it, and it was too much of a stretch. "

"We are in the pre-move in stage. We like the facility tho would not have considered ourselves Hollywood types. We like their idea of transitional care. The assistance of Jana has been wonderful. No question too silly. Clear, straightforward answers. It was obvious residents knew her too. Looking forward to move in."

"The general appearance and layout are good. My mom seems to be happy there. Staff seems to be friendly and helpful. The dining area is always clean and the appearance looks good. Mom does bingo. She's actually been there for a couple years now and moved in June 2015."

"I had a very good experience at Belmont Village Hollywood Heights. It was very nice, very well-maintained, clean, and artsy. It used to be a beautiful old hotel and had an old Hollywood theme. They had card games, brought in entertainment, and when we were there, they were getting ready to have awards and dressing up like they were going to the Oscars; they actually gave awards to the people who worked and lived there. It was decorated pretty and had a red carpet. It was awesome. They had rooms where you could sit and read, rooms where you could have company, and beautiful carpeting and paintings on the wall. The food was good. You had a choice of what you wanted, and they put fruit on the table. The chef came out to talk to us to see how we liked the food. It was a classy place. You could sit around the pool, and they had plants and flowers although they didn't have a lot of outdoor space."

"We have two relatives in the City View Villa. One is eighty-three and independent while the other one, my mother-in-law who's got dementia, is probably in the second level of assisted living. The place is very clean, the people are very responsive, and we couldn't be happier with it. The eighty-three year old lady just loves it. They have normal activities, outings, arts and crafts. The food is excellent and my husband said it's great. Everything is really going well. It is close to home and we see them every week. I actually recommended the place to our neighbor for her mother and I will definitely recommend it to others as well. "

"We visited the Bethany Towers assisted living facility while searching for a suitable assisted living facility for our great aunt. Many of our family members live in the area, so this would be an ideal place for her to live. The outer grounds looked well-kept and pleasant. The staff greeted us and seemed very warm and friendly - which is the most important thing to our family. We want our aunt to be treated well in his new home. The foyer was nicely decorated and seemed homey, as did all of the communal rooms. The private spaces were all clean, well-kept and conveniently designed. They take the time to personalize to each resident's tastes. The dining areas were nicely designed and warm. Residents may choose communal dining or more private situations. There are places for them to visit with families, as well. The food looked deliciously prepared, as well as nutritious. The dietician and chef changes up the menu to keep it interesting and encourage resident to make suggestions. The activity calendar features many healthy and stimulating activities. They have outings to local libraries, events, culture, restaurants, shopping and athletic events. They take suggestions to update the schedule as much as possible. We really liked that the staff encourages participation and tries to make everything interesting for its residents. Staff appeared to make every effort to ensure that the residents were both safe and comfortable in this living environment. "

"I just had a very brief tour here. It's very roomy and homey. I really liked it. I liked the staff, the accommodations, and the attention that they provide to the residents. The apartments were clean. The lady we met was very helpful. She assisted me in every way possible. The dining area was very large. It's like a banquet style, so it accommodated a lot of the residents. They do movies, they have games, and they let the residents go to the courtyard and sit out and just relax."

"Wonderful facility, only a bit over six years old. Homey and comfortable. Great dining room, kind and caring staff. They have always been available to answer questions, provide needed updates on my relative's condition, and work with us as needed to give them the best care possible. A serene, pleasant atmosphere throughout. Residents are treated with respect and kindness. Our family has great peace of mind that our loved one is able to be in a safe, comfortable and loving home."

"I visited Clearwater at Glendora. The place was wonderful, but it was too big. I liked the location. It was a resort-like quality. The amenities were just fantastic. The people that I saw and dealt with were really nice. They offered everything from the salon to exercising. They had a game room and all that. The bedroom had good lighting and nice views. The rooms were really nice. Topnotch on everything. The staff member who took me around was a very nice lady. The place was fantastic - the cleanliness and the grounds. It was just a wonderful place."

"The Leonard on Beverly was beautiful. It's wonderful, but it's too far away. My daughter lives in Burbank, and it took over an hour to drive there, so that wouldn't work for us. It was brand new, and it had beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. The rooms were fine. The staff was very helpful and very friendly."
