My wife is receiving the best care. Every day she is given a shower and the linen is changed daily. The staff is highly qualified and they treat every resident like they are family. I have been there many times when they are preparing the meals and the quality of food and selection could not be better. Everything in the home is so clean. I have had conversations with the families of the other residents there and we are all in agreement that our loved ones are extremely fortunate to be receiving such high quality of care and to be loved like they are family. I cannot recommend Golden Years Assisted Living enough.

My father was staying at Golden Years since about May of 2019. Unfortunately he passed away in…read moreDecember but while he was at Golden Years he was so happy. The caregivers are wonderful and the house was the cleanest facility I have ever seen. He loved the caregivers and the food they prepared daily for him was amazing. He always commented on how much he loved the food. The owners of the homes met with us and it was clear how much they cared about making sure that everything was perfect. They went the extra mile in caring for their elderly residents. Once when my father had to go to the hospital one of the owners stayed with him for hours waiting for the hospital to admit him. I can't say enough wonderful things about the facility, owners and the caregivers at Golden Years Assisted Living. You would be hard pressed to find a more wonderful caring place for your loved ones!

My 95 year old Mother was living alone since 2010 when my Father passed away. She was fine and…read moreactive for several years but then the dementia began. She started doing unsafe things and I was scared to death she was going to burn the house down. After assessing the situation I became aware that it was not safe for her to live alone any longer. After doing some research and visiting some places, I discovered the Eastern Star Senior Living Community in Yorba Linda, CA. What a miracle! They have different levels of care. We decided on the memory care section, The Villas, for Mom. The care, friendliness of staff, the meals and activities are beyond any expectations I had. I highly recommend this facility. They have had zero cases of COVID-19!!! I have even told my daughters this is where I want to be when the time comes.

I am truly honored to write this review for Villagio. My first experience with this wonderful…read morefacility was more than 13 years ago, when my dear mother lived here. We had an outstanding experience then, and I'm happy to say that Villagio remains truly exceptional today. After touring five or six different memory care communities, we knew right away that Villagio was the best choice for Mom. Years later, when it was time to move my brother, I couldn't help comparing his facility in New Jersey to the high standard I had seen at Villagio. For a couple of years, I worked closely with Sami Fox, Marketing Director, to make the transition possible. She was incredibly helpful, patient, and welcoming--inviting me to visit anytime as I navigated the process of moving him across the country. Though the move was challenging, it was absolutely the right decision. As we entered the doors to Villagio for the first time, with my brother, he was reluctant to stay in a new place. Tonya and Marilyn were there to take this burden off our hands and they relaxed him with conversation and a tour of his new home. The Villagio staff were kind and supportive as my brother slowly adjusted, which helped him settle in remarkably well. I visit often, and I can honestly say that every single team member here is compassionate and respectful. It begins the minute I walk in the door as I am greeted with a cheery hello and smile from Jan or Grace. You can hear it in the way staff speak to the residents--with warmth and dignity. The activities are engaging and varied, and the holidays are especially festive and joyful. A few times a month, families are invited to join special events, which is a lovely touch. The food is both healthy and delicious--my brother often raves about his meals and desserts. I see great rapport when staff deliver meals. Smiles and laughter are common. Communication is also excellent; Bree keeps me well informed through calls and texts, so I always feel connected. Choosing the right place for a loved one is never easy, but it brings me such peace of mind knowing my brother is receiving such attentive, heartfelt care. The Med Tech Team are all knowledgeable and responsive to my brother's and all the residents' needs. He tells me they are so gentle putting his hearing aids on each day. As a bonus, the other residents are delightful, and it's heartwarming to see them forming friendships and feeling safe in this caring environment. I'm deeply grateful to every member of the Villagio team for the meaningful work they do every day.

Finding a place to care for your loved one is hard. And believe me, I felt sorry for whoever was…read moregoing to take on my mom because not only am I in deep in healthcare (previously in acute neuro trauma and now in outpatient/hospital admin), but she is heavily SURROUNDED by people in healthcare ranging from directors, doctors, surgeons, and nurses. On top of that she has family who loves and protects her very deeply. Somethings that stood out about ActivCare to me from the rest that made me choose them over the others: 1. There's only 2 levels instead of 5+ levels. You have to have memory issues if you want to live there so there will be no confusion or issues trying to determine which patients need what as the general needs will be similar. 2. You don't get nickel and dimed. Other places might charge for laundry service, food, incontinence, etc etc. not here. You just might have to pay for medications or the beauty salon or doctors. 3. There's a licensed nurse at all hours of the day and wake staff 24 hours. 4. Appropriate staff are constantly cleaning. 5. They usually have daily exercises. 6. There are outings. 7. There is a set daily schedule. 8. There's a tiny putting green if they choose to putt. 9. There's a tiny garden. 10. We could go take food and eat with her whenever we wanted. 11. All of the above was everything we loved, but the cherry on top was that it was THE BEST COST!! What I was scared of: 1. She wouldn't accept it and start declining. 2. She wouldn't adapt. 3. She wouldn't be nice to them. 4. She wouldn't eat the food. 5. She would be mad at us. 6. They wouldn't care for her like we did at home. What actually happened after she became a resident despite her craziness and Sour Patch Kid personality: 1. She relied on them and they comforted her. 2. She ate the food and almost too much that she got the nickname the Cookiemonster. 3. She adapted (we told her it was a private hospital to get stronger since they had exercises everyday and people to help her walk). 4. They accepted her sour moments and loved her anyway. 5. She felt comforted by them and especially by certain people and they would do her hair and paint her nails. 6. She actually got stronger for a bit and actually started socializing and participating. 7. Of course she fell because thats is inevitable but they cared for her the right way each time (and if you think because she lives in a facility that it shouldn't have happened then I'll tell you right now you're never allowed to hire anyone to care for your loved one or send them somewhere to live because that's impossible). 8. I got to see an Elvis impersonator, whole room karaoke, chair exercises, the biggest puzzles of my life, so many things that will now also be core memories for my son. 9. I became her daughter again instead of the stressed and burnt out default extra caregiver since she lived at my house. 10. They loved and cared for her more than I could have ever imagined. My mom's brain cancer eventually took over and even when it enslaved her to be loud and demanding they still loved and cared for her until she couldn't function. Imagine this mixed with memory and dementia issues. It takes a special soul and personality to work in an environment like this; I can save your life but I admittedly am not that person. All of these people are that person and if God gave me back my mom from heaven then I would choose ActivCare Yorba Linda again to help me care for my mom. The care she received makes it 10 times more worth what was paid for her care which was already a great price. If you're reading this sentence and contemplating, I think you know where your family will be going. Tell them the Cookiemonster sent you.

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

I DO NOT recommend you place your loved ones at this facility!!! Our Mom has Alzheimers and was in…read morethe memorie care facility here, and we were very concerened and unhappy with her care. 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 many of her personal items that were clearly labled with her name, went missing from her room, never to be returned. The furniture in the common area that the residents sat on was filthy dirty. 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.

My father was in this facility for 2 and a half years. Previously he had been in two to other…read moreboard and care homes and two assisted living facilities. This place was by far the best. My dad was also on hospice at this facility. The place was always clean, the home let us visit whenever we wanted and for as long as we wanted. It was always clean and had a working television in the room. The caretakers would put the television on requested channels for my dad. The shower has a roll in shower to accommodate people with disabilities. My father was always clean and shaven, and his bed was always clean. Angelo, the owner would respond quickly to any concerns we may have had. Shirley and Jr. the caretakers at the home were quick to call me with any changes to my dad's health. They knew him well enough, to pay attention when he had the slightest change. During holidays, they had special meals and decorations. I was there every day and have no complaints and was appreciative how they encouraged him to eat and help administer meds given by me, the hospice team and the VA team. The facility is in a quiet cul de sac and has nice seating outside if you want to visit outside with your family. I highly recommend this home. If you need to talk to me, you can ask them to connect you with Manuel's family.
