My father was a patient at Harbor Villa for about 60 days, and what our family experienced there…read morewas heartbreaking. The facility frequently smelled unpleasant. There was often a resident yelling loudly throughout the day, creating a chaotic and distressing environment. We saw rats in the parking lot and even cockroaches inside my father's room. It was incredibly upsetting to see him living in those conditions. Visitor parking is also an absolute nightmare most days. For families already under immense stress, struggling just to find parking makes visiting even harder. Most concerning, when my father pressed the emergency call button at his bedside, assistance was often extremely delayed. Knowing that your loved one is pressing for help and waiting -- sometimes far too long -- is a feeling I cannot adequately describe. It caused constant anxiety every time we left the facility. Although some staff members were personally kind, there was a serious lack of coordination and awareness about my father's medical condition. When his health declined, staff could not clearly tell me his recent vitals, explain his blood pressure trends, or provide accurate information about his care. I had to speak directly with the paramedics myself and provide his medical history and symptoms because the staff could not. While on feeding tubes, my father's sodium levels dropped significantly because he was not receiving adequate water flushes. We had to rush him to Hoag Irvine, where doctors determined he also had pneumonia and extremely high blood pressure. It was terrifying. Watching your parent suffer from something that should have been closely monitored is something no family should ever experience. Instead of supporting his recovery, the facility then declined to accept him back after we sought emergency treatment -- simply because we advocated for his health. We trusted this facility during one of the most vulnerable times in my father's life, and that trust was deeply broken. Please do your research. Ask detailed questions. Advocate fiercely. And if you have other options, I strongly encourage you to take your loved one elsewhere. No family should have to go through what we did.

After our dad had a fall that resulted in an ER visit and unexpected lung cancer diagnosis that was…read morerapidly effecting his brain and memory, my family knew our dad needed to be placed in an assisted living facility immediately. We knew he specifically needed to be in a memory care unit, and we are so thankful that Harbor Heights was able to take him in so quickly once it became clear that we needed to find a facility as soon as possible. After comparing several options, we chose Harbor Heights because of the amount of staff that spoke Korean and would be able to communicate with our dad, and because the facility seemed to be better run and cleaner than several of the others we considered. Though his stay was ultimately very brief before he passed away, we are so thankful to the staff here for caring for him and helping our family through this extremely difficult and emotional time. Thank you to all the staff who cared for my dad.

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.

On my very first day of crazy and frustrating searching online and calling assisted living…read morefacilities for my dad, Bob answered my call. 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.

I wish that I could give ten, or a hundred or a million stars to Anaheim Crown Plaza (ACP)! From…read morethe very first (long) phone call with Cammy, the Administrator, to the same day tour with Rochelle, the Assistant Administrator, we learned that Anaheim Crown Plaza was beyond EXCELLENT. The entire staff is the kindest, caring, and most compassionate people on earth. We found out that staff members were using their own money to provide little "treats" to our sister, Leslie. Every day, her caregiver would braid her hair and find ways to make her feel beautiful and special. Rochelle knows every resident and their family members' names by sight. Rochelle is always there to lend an ear, give lots of smiles and hugs to all. Leslie was transferred to ACP from a facility in Northern California. In the almost three years that Leslie was at ACP, Leslie benefited from a higher quality of life than Leslie had received in a very long time. The facility is spotless and odor-free. The rooms are spacious and the food is excellent. It is an Assisted Living Facility that provides outstanding medical case management, assisting to arrange all the medical appointments and following up that the medically ordered referrals are processed. This medical case management would be exhausting if the family members would have to do it themselves (and I am an RN). There were times when Leslie would refuse to eat or drink. We would often find Cammy sitting with Leslie and feeding her, or being the "cheerleader" for every bite or drink. (This is significant because at previous facilities Leslie had been hospitalized for severe dehydration and/or malnourishment.) Sadly, we write this review after we have said goodbye to Anaheim Crown Plaza. Leslie passed away this month. It was quite apparent to the hospital staff that Leslie was well cared for: her nails were done, her hair was clean and her skin was clear and smooth. Most importantly, Leslie knew that she was loved by her family and her entire extended family which was the staff at ACP. Do not hesitate to put a loved one at Anaheim Crown Plaza, it will be the best decision that you will make.

After a serious bout with pneumonia, and a month in the hospital, although I was reluctant and somewhat skeptical, at first, I was certain I needed some help to obtain a full recovery before returning home. This is where the Blue Sky Manor came into play. Keep in mind I am very particular about my surroundings, and people I surround myself with. Sona, the Director, obviously knows this business, and exactly what she is doing. Blue Sky Manor is kept clean at all times, has a nice aesthetic appearance, and most importantly provides an individualized care program, for all residents. Additionally, Sona maintains an excellent staff. I would specifically like to point out the exceptional work of Sonia, very kind and understanding, and extremely professional. Gabriel, the assistant Director, is equally good at his job. I would also like give a special thanks out to Rocio, certainly the master of craft, and of of course Amparo, Joanna, and the rest of the staff as well for continuing to do a great job, always kind and pleasant. If you, or any of your loved ones are in need of services such as these, Blue Sky Manor in Anaheim, is definitely the place to go !

From the first phone call, Kathrina was extremely helpful. She assisted me with everything needed to get my dad moved in; including the transfer from the nursing home to their house, all the paperwork and logistics. My dad's mood and enthusiasm improved immediately. They provided everything he needed, including his own room, physical therapy, food, a full time staff, and doctor care. It was such a relief knowing my dad was in such good and caring hands. And the cost was more than fair, especially considering everything they were doing. My dad celebrated his 84th birthday there, and Kathrina threw a little party for him, with cake and even gifts! It was wonderful. She always made him feel at home, and kept me informed of his condition, responding to my texts or calls right away. Unfortunately my dad never really got his strength back, and passed away on April 5th. But Kathrina arranged for hospice care and transportation to the funeral home. I couldn't have asked for anything more. It felt like she was an angel watching over him during his stay, which gave me and my sister great comfort.
