Rose, the Executive Director, sits right up front and somehow always notices when we walk in--greeting me by name and truly knowing what's happening in the community. Shannon and Kaylee are always out and about chatting with residents, creating such a warm and connected environment. The special events they host bring families together and make the community feel vibrant and welcoming. They also went above and beyond helping my mom get ready for our son's wedding. They made sure she looked beautiful and felt special for such an important family moment, something we will never forget. The nursing staff under Neha are incredibly caring as well, always checking in on residents and helping those who aren't feeling their best get back out to participate in community activities and events. Their kindness and attentiveness make such a difference. Dan and Mark never hesitate to help, whether it's hanging a new photo or fixing my mom's bed whenever needed. Everyone knows the residents by name and treats them with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. On top of everything else, Bradford is extremely well maintained. Last year the entire exterior was updated, and this year they are installing new carpeting throughout the community. It's clear they continually reinvest back into the property and truly care about creating a beautiful environment for the residents and families. That level of personal attention and heart is rare, and my family is incredibly grateful for Ivy Park at Bradford.

Since my father passed away seven years ago, I have been caring for my mother. However, as her memory declined, I could no longer personally guarantee her safety and quality of life. I researched several memory care facilities throughout Orange County, and none met my requirements until I found Crescendo. From the moment I walked in , I knew it was the right place for my mother. The facility is exceptionally clean, and every staff member is loving, caring and professional. I am also impressed by the variety of daily activities and the high-quality, restaurant-style dining options. I feel very blessed to have found Crescendo Senior Living and appreciate everything they do. Kevin McCorry

There were many safety issues in her bedroom and bathroom. A very large beautiful framed print of hers was stolen off the wall in her bedroom.

And the communicatin, follow through, and resolvement from management regarding our concerns for our moms safety and other issues was very poor. Sadly, there were other issues as well during our moms time here. But Thank God she is now in a safe, clean, wonderful new place Sincerely, a concerned and loving daughter.

I just wish newbies on this process, like me, would find Bob right away. Bob is genuinely kind, caring, and was so helpful conveying all the pertinent information regarding the elderly care business including contacts for placement agents! He didn't have to answer my call especially while he was driving but he did. He didn't have to volunteer any extra and tremendously helpful information but he did. He didn't have to spend 26 minutes on the phone with me patiently explaining information but he did! After that call, I felt like I talked to an angel; I felt so blessed! I didn't meet Bob (yet) but I know in my heart, I could trust him with elderly care for my loved ones. A million thanks Bob!

I frequent a lot of board and care homes for patient visits but this is by far the nicest one I've…read morebeen to. The house is located in a quiet neighbor. The house and interior seems newly renovated and well maintained. It is aesthetically pleasing with modern colors and decor. The rooms are personalized with each residents personal photos and memorabilia to make it their "home." What makes this place so wonderful is the caring/loving owner, manager and staff. Ruth the owner is very down to earth and has a very hands on approach involving resident care and safety. Most owners of these board and cares don't visit the place and just have someone manage it. Ruth is not so, I see her frequently at the house bringing goodies in for residents, checking in to ensure her staff are ok and any concerns are addressed. I work mostly with Kim (manager), Theresa and Courtney (care staff). Kim is sweet, caring, involved with patient care and safety and always there to support her staff. Despite of crazy days and chaos she encounters, she never brings it to work and always has a smile on her face. She goes above and beyond to ensure her residents are not just clients but family. She truly cares for her residents and that is the heart of this field. Theresa is always so gentle and patient with my little lady there. Courtney is fairly new to the house but she is also very sweet and friendly with the residents. This place has a lot of different activities to keep their residents entertained, minds active and improve quality of life. If you are looking for a place for your loved one and budget allows, I would highly recommend this place.

On an January visit to learn, Walnut Village felt like a top-tier hotel or cruise ship. This was…read moredriven home by the beautiful plants and the finishes in the restrooms by the lobby as we prepared to leave. It was like a Four Seasons throughout and not like a facility for seniors. Touring Walnut Village with Anita, the units were more spacious and more homelike than expected, especially in the bathrooms and kitchen with excellent attention to quality. The fixtures in the hallways were nicely upscale as well; again, the finishes in a seemingly unimportant place were top quality. The Red Chair Lounge looks like a great place to stay engaged; having a drink and socializing before dinner in a quite elegant dining room. The food in the Bistro was excellent and, obviously, residents enjoy and comment on it. One of the issues in any community living situation is that menus get too routine. The staff works hard at variety which shows with the length of the menus and, again, the quality. Probably most important, was the feeling projected by the residents. Residents through out the tour were very engaging with a number stopping to say hello. One answered a question about walking in the surrounding area as a number of residents go out regularly - often walking over to Disneyland. Checking Medicare.gov, Walnut Village ranks very high for its skilled nursing facilities. Many looking for senior housing only think about today but all the levels of service at Walnut Village not only look good but work well. Finally, on a cost side, Walnut Village is an entrance-fee CCRC with monthly fees providing independent and assisted living in the units and an attractive skilled nursing unit on site. That means no leaving friends behind if a medical event arises. Comparing the cost of Walnut Village to other good CCRC facilities in Orange County, it has the lowest entrance fee for comparable size units, provides the largest refund of entrance fees upon leaving with monthly cost comparable or lower than competitive CCRCs. Bottom line, we both were pleasantly surprised by what we saw versus our expectation arriving. We knew it would be a newer facility but could not anticipate the vibe inside. Lots of food for thought.

Much to my huge relief, my parents are genuinely happy and thriving in their new community. They even participate in two standing dinners each week with their new friends! It's no exaggeration that there is truly something for everyone with lots of fun activities, special events, excursions, and many opportunities for residents to interact. There is never a dull moment, and every holiday is celebrated with much fanfare. My quiet, introverted mother has blossomed into a quasi-social butterfly. She can't stop talking about the friendly new people she's met. As a nature lover, she loves her evening walks in the beautifully landscaped grounds. My father enjoys his daily visit to the mailroom and loves chatting with Olga at the front desk who never seems to have a bad day. He's a regular at the gym. He enjoys reading each page of the Weekly Happenings and Monthly Monitor. Both parents love using Morningside's app to review the daily menu before heading down to the restaurant for their meals. The wine offerings are impressive and prices very reasonable! They did notice a slight decline in the food quality/menu options throughout the year, but they said things are starting to improve with the new chef and the switch to a new seafood supplier. The app is easy to navigate and makes entering maintenance/work orders/staff feedback a breeze. Whoever designed the app did a great job because the user-interface is smooth and very intuitive. This is a huge compliment since my parents aren't native English speakers! ;-) A friend from one of their standing dinners is transitioning from independent living to memory care later this month. The group plans to invite him to their weekly dinners as much as possible if/when their meal credits allow. I'm sure Morningside will handle the move with the utmost care and compassion. You can be sure I'll be watching to see how the transition goes and will report back next year. TLDR: If you can figure out a way to make it work, don't hesitate to make the move to Morningside. I'm so happy my parents picked Morningside and wish they hadn't waited so long to make the move!
