Memory Care Communities in West Covina, CA

"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."

"La Posada was OK. It wasn't our top priority, but it was good. They remodeled the place. It looks like a hotel, but it's a little less nice than the other place. The facility was OK. It was presentable and everything. The prices were good, but it wasn't what I was hoping to see. It was not a bad place, and it was actually my second option. The lady was very nice and very helpful. She answered all my questions. She was great. The common area was OK, but it was a little bit dark for my taste. There were just a lot of complainers. Like every time that I was walking around there were people complaining about something. Like, "I wanna talk to you because they didn't do this," so I didn't get a good feeling about that."

"Overall, we were very pleased with the tour at Oakmont of Whittier and the amenities that they offered. I would say everything was good. My father was not interested yet in a facility, but if we had to, that would have been our first choice. We had a meal there, and we were very pleased. My father had the salmon dish. He loves seafood, and he was very pleased with it. I had the special of the day, which was like a taco salad. The portions were good, and it wasn't overly seasoned. I think they were conscientious of dietary restrictions. They weren't overly salty. There was not a lot of dairy or sweet stuff. They had a very nice theater, gym, hair salon, massage room, and a nice courtyard. The landscaping was very nice. They had a nice lobby with a piano that they appeared to utilize a lot. Their calendar was very nice and full of activities every day. It was clean. There were no odors or anything like that. We got to see a couple of the residents' rooms, which was nice. They were well-kept and well-cleaned. By the time we got there, there was a nice little welcome sign, welcoming my father and myself. When we left, they gave us a nice little dessert to take with us. I would say it was just a very positive experience. Many people were very friendly, and they introduced themselves to us. They were very attentive, polite, and welcoming. They seem to be very respectful and attentive to the residents. They allowed pets, which was a nice thing to see, and it seemed like they were well-managed pets. There were no odors, considering there were pets in the facility. It wasn't obvious in the courtyard either."

"I went to Cogir of Brea. It wasn't spacious, but for the population, it accommodated them well. But it just didn't feel as warm as it seemed. It was very modern. It was more or less a hotel, I would say. They had a small courtyard and an arts and crafts type room. The dining area is more cafeteria-like."

"My mom really enjoys it because it's a small facility. It's not overwhelming and it's more like a home, not like a resort. Some of the places we visited, she says it is like living in a hotel, she wouldn't want to stay there so she really enjoys it at Sunrise. That's the type of person she is. The staff is wonderful and awesome. They call everyone by first name and they make it a point to know you. They're just great people, very friendly, very compassionate. The food is excellent. They have a menu and you will order off for every meal. They have activities every hour and a half. "

"Claremont was wonderful, but it wasn’t appropriate for my mother. The staff was wonderful and very friendly. The apartments were big and clean. The residents were happy. "

"We were looking for something local and very close to my home, and Villagio at Capriana was very, very close. We had an appointment right away, and I was able to go in. The director was very polite, very nice, and very informative. She provided me a pamphlet and information. She gave me a tour and showed me a room and the facility. She let me know how things would take place and assured me that my mother would be safe. All those areas were of concern to me, and she definitely met my idea of what I wanted for my mother. The room is like a studio apartment. It is like a one-room. It is very spacious. It has a little outdoor patio. If my mother wanted to do gardening, she could do that. The room provides for a bed and a small front room entertainment area. If she wanted to relax or entertain, she could do that. The walk-in shower is very clean. They have a laundry service. They do her clothes, and then they bring them back to her. It is amazing that they do that. They have a doctor on-call. They have regular doctor visits there, and they have physical therapy there. It was just amazing. The rooms were very clean and very beautiful. During the walk through, we saw the dining room and the area where they have activities. They had an activity director, who was participating and making sure that everybody was actively participating. They showed me the outdoors. She showed me the schedule for the month and what activities were going to take place, so it was very well organized. The staff acknowledged and made me feel welcome. You walk in and there is a formal visiting area, like a front room. Then you go to where the activities are. They are all very, very well maintained and very organized. They know the clients that they have. They all address them by name, and they are always very aware of where they are at all times. As a gift, the staff gave me a sampler of a side dish or an appetizer for the clients. It was very delicious. It was very impressive. I asked her if it was just something they served. She said that they are more Italian based. A lot of their foods are antipasto and things like that, which was just one of my mom's favorites. I was very, very pleased with it. I enjoyed that completely."

"My mother is a resident of Oakmont of Chino Hills. It is very good with clean facilities, medical staff on premises, and a broad range of services. They have a library and an internet or business center. They have a full kitchen and dining area; they also have an outdoor patio."

"It was very nice. The staff was very caring and the people looked happy. "

"The lady who toured with us at Ivy Park at San Marino, was very good. My husband and I looked at their assisted living facility. We saw two rooms, with one of them being a small 1-bedroom apartment. Because of the prices, we have just decided that we only need a single room, and the suite that they have is quite larger than the one we saw at another facility. We were also impressed with their dining area. It was very nice. Everything looks fine there. I'm sure the whole place was kept very nicely. We were also interested in a place that is no more than two stories, and this is a two-story one. They weren't huge and seemed adequate for us. They had several patios going off from different parts of the building, and they were large enough. Maybe 55 feet or something with plants around them."

"My parents will be moving into Oakmont of Fullerton. The staff was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and willing to answer the questions. The facility itself was very nice and up to date. The key factor for me when we went to do the tour that day was that the guy holding or conducting the music class was very engaging. Before I knew it, my dad was on the microphone singing and participating in their activity, even though we were just there visiting. They made them feel right at home. The rooms are very spacious and well laid out for safety purposes. The staff who did the tour was very knowledgeable and very friendly. They have exercise, a walking path, a movie room, and a fitness center. They have a shuttle to take them off the campus, where they could go to the supermarket or off-site."

"Everything was great; I liked everything about it. They have a memory care ward that was very clean, and it was nice inside and outside, as well. They provided activities for the residents."

"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."

"Rooms are a variety of single, double, and/or triple occupancy. Staff is attentive, very cordial and truly enjoys assisting and attending to those living at La Hacienda, unlike larger facilities who employ anyone who wants a job, but doesn't necessarily have to have experience or enjoy providing health care. Meals are catered to individuals wants/needs. "
