Memory Care Communities in Whittier, CA

"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."

"We went to Artesia Christian Home. Everybody there was very nice. I, personally, would recommend it. It was a little bit out of my price range, but she still might end up there. The staff was very knowledgeable and very understanding. They helped me because I did not really know what I needed. They had an activity rooms. It was an older facility, but they had a new part. They had small rooms, but in the newer section, the rooms were bigger and a lot nicer. The older section was old. They now had memory care, which they were building. They also had duplexes there. I thought they were great. "

"As a resident of two years,and a highly educated person, I am fully disappointed in how this administration is as phoney as I have ever experienced. I also find them wholly unqualified to deal with residents, problems, outcomes. There is no follow through or any explanations as to why not. The lack of conscious thinking or acting is appalling. This is no place I would ever send a loved one. "

"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."

"I visited this facility for a tour. It is a secured, Alzheimer's/Dementia facility and the lock is on the gate facing the front yard. If a resdient trys to open the gate, the alarm will go off. It is not a wander guard facility. This was originally a private home that was purchased by a private company for assisted living/Alzheimer's care. It is located on a nice, quiet, private street in a safe neighborhood. The exterior is inviting, with a rose garden in the front and roses in surrounding gardens in the courtyard. The resident's seem well card for and happy. I observed a dining room experience and they were all raving about the homemade food. They have alot of private rooms and private suites. The care is individualized and the staff seem very dedicated to the resident's. I would consider this facility for a loved one. The downside would be that they take some resident's who are very ill and in active. "

"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."

"It was very nice. Everybody was pleasant and informative. I was satisfied with the size of the room for what my brother was going to need. The people were nice and knowledgeable. The dining area was very nice. They had a whole list of stuff to do as far as having a book club and different activities, like exercises and different outings."

"My grandfather was in this facility for 6 months. Every interaction I had with staff was pleasant. The facility is clean and they provide daily activities for the residents as well as a monthly theme with a party. Birthdays are celebrated monthly for all of those in the month. My grandfather's mood would change from crotchety old guy to flirting old guy and the staff was patient with all of his various moods. As a family member they made us feel welcome and never degraded our requests. Those that they could not meet, they told us why and helped us with other options. When he passed they grieved with us. We are very grateful for this facility. "

"My friend moved into Bliss Care Home. This is a boarding place. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are very nice. Everything is very nice. It has a nice backyard, lots of fruit trees, an area where they can sit out, and a covered gazebo. Their living atmosphere is friendly, quiet, and nice. They have activities for the guests. The other three women that are there are nice. She has someone to converse with. I would put someone in there again if I had to. I would use their services again. I haven't found a problem with them."

"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."
