Memory Care Communities in Westminster, CA

"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."

"We liked everything about Carmel Village Retirement Community. There was nothing negative about them. We were greeted by the person I was told would be greeted by, and that was David. He did an outstanding job. Overall, they did a wonderful job. This location is our number one pick right now. Cleanliness was outstanding both inside and outside. They have some construction work going on and David was explaining this to us. Whoever owns it is investing a lot of money into the structure of the building, especially the exterior. The size of the room was decent. We looked at both a studio and a one bedroom. The atmosphere was very lively. They were preparing to have an event that day. It was like a luau or something like that. There was a lot of activity as they were getting ready for that event. The residents were very, very nice. A number of them were telling my dad, "This is a great place." "They treat you good." "The staff are nice." So, he had some first hand feedback from residents that are already living there."

"I'm very happy with Meadowlark Gardens I. It's a board and care home with a total of 6 patients, and for my mom's care, I think it's wonderful. The room is lovely, and they take excellent care. It's a lovely facility with a lovely patio. Everybody has their own bedrooms, the caregivers are fabulous, and Mom loves her food."

"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."

"Huntington Terrace was a nice facility. We were greeted with a reserved spot with my name on it. When we walked into the facility, I got another sign saying "Welcome to us." They took us back to the model where we waited. They had refreshments and coffee waiting for us. Then we met with the sales consultant and she kind of walked us through and wanted to know what we were looking for. We didn't taste the food, but we were told that the chef came from a five-star restaurant and that the food was good. My dad was familiar with this place because he has friends that are there and has eaten the food and he also says that it's very good. The cleanliness was good. It's an older structure, so some work needs to be done and the woman told us that they were working on that. The atmosphere was also good. It was lively. A number of the residents welcomed us, even though they didn't have to. It was a very friendly environment."

"Very nice facility with friendly and attentive staff. The rooms were beautiful, clean and multiple activities for residents. The food looked great! We attended a Luau at the facility which was very nice and loved by the residents that attended. This is definitely a contender when my mother is ready to commit!"

"We had a very nice tour and we liked the feel of the place. It was very comfortable and very homey. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms were very nice. We saw a couple of rooms and we liked the bigger room that they showed us."

"I toured this facility with my mother and found it to be very inviting! It's a newer facility and the rooms are beautiful/clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My mother really liked that the rooms had full kitchens and washer/dryers as her independence is important to her. The location and activities provided were awesome! This is definitely a contender when we are ready to commit!"

"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."

"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 toured Brookdale Anaheim. I like that it's close to our current place where I'm living. I like the property, people, and staff I met. The person who took me on the tour was kind and nice. They're very detailed, very caring, and want to help. She even told me, "What can I do for you to help you?" I liked that. I like that they have this process of checking their mentality, and they check everything, physically and mentally. They do assessments before accepting them into the community. So, I like all the details that they have. It was very clean and well-lit in every area because we went through the community, where they gathered together to play, and the patio was nice."

"My father moved into Oakmont of Orange. When I first went for my appointment, they had a wonderful sign welcoming me for the tour. I met with the marketing director who sat with me and answered all my questions and introduced me to the wellness director and the executive director. They spent some time with me understanding my father's condition and situation and what we were looking for. They went through their programs and how they would address his needs. They were willing to go visit him initially to get a better idea of what the costs would be, on top of just the monthly rate, that would address his needs in terms of additional care. They showed me the available apartment that they had thought would be best for him, given what I had requested for him, which was being close to the restaurant and the social activities. So, that was all nice because it seemed very personalized and thoughtful. The property itself is not large, but it's also not small. The apartment my dad has is in a great location and overlooked the courtyard. Although the kitchen is small, there's not a whole lot of need for a full kitchen. I appreciated that the living area of the apartment is much larger than the kitchen area. The quality of the facility is top-notch. And everybody that I met on the tour, which included the activities director, the chauffeur, and the maintenance crew, were all very nice and the residents seemed happy. It was very calm and quiet, and yet, everybody was very interactive when I was there. The restaurant is very fancy, and the food reviews of the chef there were always five stars reviews for the quality of the food, and that turned out to be true after having eaten there with my father. Everything has worked out well. They were very accommodating with my move-in requests and getting the room set up. In terms of how it was after, I had decided that my dad would be a good fit there. They were very amenable to the process of moving him in. I honestly couldn't be happier. Part of that is also that my father is happy there and he feels very much at home, comfortable, and welcome, and he feels like it is a very, very top-notch place. My dad is going to the workout classes, he's playing games. I know that he's actively engaging in the activities. The wellness team is very responsive. I've asked them to take into consideration different courses of care for him. Based on my father's communication about what's happening, this has been handled and managed. I was told that when he transitioned over that they would make sure that through his Medicare, he would be able to get more physical therapy regularly and for a longer period of time than what he was discharged with from skilled nursing. And so, that's happened. They also coordinated an appointment with the concierge doctor that comes to the facility. There was another company they work with that helps with hearing tests that he's now going to be assessed in. It seems like things are happening to his benefit and being given the necessary attention to the kind of keep him cared for. Also, the initial assessment of additional assisted living that was done in the beginning wasn't necessary, so they made an adjustment to the care they provided versus the care they had assigned because it wasn't needed.
