The house that he lives in is very intimate and he gets great care 24 hours a day. The house is very bright and warm too. Staff is always keeping me informed on how Dad is doing and even ask how I am doing!Since I'm here all the time, I also watch how well everyone is taken care of and their needs met with individualized attention. In an industry with staffing usually changes constantly, NSL has retained their awesome team. I'm so glad that Dad has a great home away from home.

I can't overstate how impressed our family is with Newport Senior Living…read more My mother-in-law has been a resident for over two years. Prior to that we had in-home care. Before we transitioned to Newport Senior Living, we had inconsistent care, unreliable caregivers, and unacceptable communication and coordination. And the cost was out of control. Upon transitioning to Newport Senior Living, all these concerns were resolved. The facility is unbelievable clean, with a separate bedroom and bathroom for each resident. The "family room" is warm, organized and inviting. The staff is caring and professional. They provide individual attention to each resident. The term resident isn't actually correct, as the residents and staff became like family members. The food is excellent. They provide consistent care and have a back-up plan in case a staff member can't work. The grounds are beautiful and allow for activities, like gardening. Each week, chair exercise sessions are held. They plan special birthday parties and activities throughout the week and holidays. From a professional perspective, all-important qualities include professionalism, reliability, integrity, communication skills and being a team player. The Newport Senior Living staff provides this. From a personal perspective, when selecting a home or facility for a family member, the qualities listed above are important, but just as significant are interpersonal skills. Newport Senior Living has consistently demonstrated compassion, patience, loving care, respect, tact, and courtesy; the list goes on. We highly recommend Newport Senior Living.

Koodos to Vivante!…read more Just days before my mother was admitted to Vivante, she experienced the heartbreaking loss of the love of her life. As a former Skilled Nursing Director, I knew it would be hard to find not just a care facility but a true community for her. She was my main concern. From the moment we arrived, we found exactly that! Danika, the Director, leads with compassion and strength. Olivia, the coordinator, brings a level of organization that made the transition feal seamless. Julie the secretary, greeted us with warmth every day. Making The Shores feel like home. Kaytlin, the activities director is slowly bringiing my non social mother back into life with her creativity and genuine joy. The employees ooze happiness with their jobs. The service is exceptional and its truly is a 5 star resort for the elderly. The menus are beyond brilliant and the food quality is a chefs kiss! The entertainment is beyond amazing, with numerous grand events to entertain family and the residents. Vivante isn't just an Assisted Living or Memory care facility. It is a touch of elegance that I am putting my name on the waiting list soon! I couldn't be happier with the care my mother is receiving. The employees go above and beyond to make each resident feel loved! I couldn't be more gratful that Vivante has walked alongside our family in such a vulnerable time! You made a very difficult situation a seamless effort to make my mother content and happy. I can literally relax now and live my life in peace. Just an FYI, they serve amazing dinners and have a good selection of wine for visitors and residents themselves. Always a good reason to visit a loved one. Vivante..... One classy place! Exceptional in every way! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Yvette Matthiessen (Yolande AKA YoYos daughter)

If there is an issue, they work on resolving it quickly. It is easy to get in touch with them by text or phone. I really appreciate that they work hard to keep each home running smoothly. Their website gives great descriptions of what their philosophy is and what these homes offer for seniors in need of a pleasant home environment.

After 31 days of being at Harbor Care Homes, we felt our mother's safety was at risk as well as…read morebeing neglected, even while being on hospice. With several falls, injuries and a hospitalization, in addition to refusing to call 911, we immediately moved to a more supportive and caring home. Harbor uses word manipulation in their advertising to attract business, however do not offer what they state. It just did not feel like a "care" home. Unfortunately I would not recommend this facility for your loved ones needing sincere care and support. Thank you for the response. The fact that you used the verbiage "constant", in your reply, describes exactly the sentiment of Harbor, that we/she was a bother. It was never about the money, as we offered to pay more for better care and it was declined. All we wanted was a safe and caring place for my Mom and unfortunately the standard at Harbor was not that. The pictures I posted tell only 60% of what she endured, and "context " enough to express our experience; not to mention twice her laying on the floor for hours because staff was not able to lift her (or call for help) until my brother or I arrived. This is not personal, I understand you have a business to run, however the care level at Harbor left us with a lot to be desired. I do appreciate you working with us to accommodate your protocols and wish you and your families all the best.

From the moment I first toured Forever Young, I was beyond impressed--it felt and smelled like a real home and was immaculately clean. William took the time to address all my questions and concerns thoughtfully, both in person and later during a conference call and follow-up tour with my siblings. We knew immediately that Forever Young was the best memory care home for our dad, and we added our name to the waitlist. As dad's disease progressed rapidly, we toured other residential and larger memory care facilities. Each visit only reaffirmed our decision to wait for Forever Young. During this period, William also provided valuable recommendations for equipment to help dad stay safe while he remained at home. Now, eight months into dad's residency at Forever Young our gratitude for William and his caregiving team has only deepened. The caregivers are genuine, kind, compassionate, and loving--truly exceptional. They know dad so well that they can anticipate his needs, which not only ensures outstanding care but also helps reduce his frustrations with his condition. The staff frequently send me pictures of dad participating in activities, which is such a comfort. Meals are carefully prepared to be both nutritious and tailored to the residents' preferences and abilities. Dad has the freedom to come and go and we can visit anytime. Knowing he is in a place where he is genuinely cared for and understood brings us immeasurable peace. There truly is no better place for dad to be.

My family and I were desperate to find adequate care for my Dad who ailed from brain cancer amongst…read moremay other chronic conditions. We were finding extreme challenge with his then current living situation when we came across William and his team at Forever Young. William is a dedicated, compassionate, and committed owner and facilitator - so much so that he answered my initial call at 6:30AM. From that moment forward he proved to be accountable and above all, humble and human. He genuinely listened and was authentic in his position. He has the highest standards for himself and his team. His home was extremely clean and well kept. William was exceptionally resourceful - connecting me with proper professionals in the hospice and MediCal consulting arenas. This was especially important as we had no idea how to proceed with these services. In William's care and experienced advisement, my dad lived as well as anyone could in his situation. His end of life was filled with love and affection. The team was patient and loving to our family's accommodations as we navigated that terribly sensitive time in our lives. William is someone you will immediately bond with and keep a relationship with throughout time. That is how deeply impactful his approach and communication is with his families. I am forever grateful for William in every regard and know that if you choose to be a family in his residence, you too will feel secure and blessed!

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.

The facility director then asked us to leave as we were "not invited" by the resident whose cell phone and address book had been taken away. Feels a lot like prison.

The only other positive as far as memory care is concerned was Asuka. She was extremely considerate, warm and compassionate. A really wonderful person in general. Also, we pleased with the general caregiving staff. Now on to the unfortunate part, and I'd like to mention that it's unfortunate because 1. My uncle experience a huge decline in health very quickly, which yes this does happen with Dementia, but we truly believe his experience at Clearwater was a direct cause of an even speedier decline. 2. A business in the memory care/assisted living profession should be one that is skilled in such a sensitive area and we do not feel that is the experience we received. We were led to believe there was medical care available at all times, there was not. The head nurse at the time was a LVN who appeared to have no knowledge of how to take care of memory impaired patients. The take away on our end was a rough one. It was not at all how we hoped the experience would be for us and for my uncle. This already hard transition was heartbreaking for my aunt. I would just suggest really doing a deep dive when looking into memory care facilities best you can. It appears there have been some staffing changes at Clearwater in the past 6 months or so ago. We truly hope that this makes a big difference in every families and patients experience from now on.

Clearwater at Newport Beach has made that transition not only easier, but positive for all of us! At first, the change was hard for my sister, but the staff was so loving, patient, and genuinely caring that everything shifted. She now thanks me for having her there, which speaks volumes. The facility is absolutely beautiful -- we honestly call it "the resort" because it doesn't feel like assisted living at all. They also take residents on weekly outings, which we really appreciate. We toured several memory care facilities and nothing compared to Clearwater. Hands down the best choice we could have made. We're incredibly grateful for the care and compassion they show every day.

The director is truly gifted--an exceptional leader with remarkable people skills who sets the tone for a kind and professional environment. The staff are problem-solvers who handle challenges with grace and humanity, always putting the residents' needs first.

When a loved one is in hospice, you want to know they're safe, respected, and treated with dignity. This hospice center has given our family that peace of mind and more. I am endlessly grateful for the care my father continues to receive here.
