I am increasingly concerned about the lack of communication. I called three times yesterday and twice today without a response. This is especially troubling given that in the past, when I did not hear from her for several days, I had to request a welfare check. We had previously agreed that staff would assist my mother with phone calls, and I was hearing from her every other day. More recently, I was told I should call daily and that someone would return my call. That has not been happening. My mother requires assistance to dial the phone, so I am fully dependent on your staff to facilitate communication. When I cannot reach her or receive a callback, I have no way of knowing if she is safe or well. I need a consistent and reliable communication plan in place immediately. At a minimum, I am requesting: A guaranteed daily update (even brief) if I am unable to reach her Assistance for my mother in making or receiving calls A designated staff contact responsible for ensuring follow-through Please let me know how you will address this today. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

Harbor Care Homes for seniors is owned by Ryan Roche and Scott Messick. They have six homes in a…read morenice neighborhood in Mission Viejo that are beautifully redone and well run by these two partners. Ryan and Scott are friendly, helpful and are good listeners. 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.

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.

And luckily she chose Heritage Pointe. What a great place! The caregivers are so kind and knowledgeable and hard working. The management is committed to exceptional care. On move in, the staff arranged and rearranged, hung, moved, catered. They painted the apartment to the color of her choice. There is weekly sparkling housekeeping and one day laundry service. There are all levels of care from independent living to memory care. She needed help with showering and dressing. But in addition, someone would always pop by to check on her in the morning, make up her bed and set a small breakfast. And they checked on her all day. Always going the extra. There is plenty to do. There is a pool, a movie theatre, a workout room with personal trainers , an on-site physical therapist, a library, classes, lectures, guest speakers and performers, happy hour, a piano lounge, a hair salon, transportation to all of the local shops and conveniences and a coordinator to arrange a driver for doctor appointments.

Rita Lyn and her team at Lotus Senior Care are wonderful caregivers to the elderly, at every level…read moreof care required. My mother recently passed at the age of 99 years; her last few years were at the Lotus facility in Mission Viejo. She entered their care at the height of COVID. They kept her safe, drove and waited in the long line to get her vaccinated when it became available, and were vigilant throughout that period. My mother was physically able and mentally acute for much of her 5 years at Lotus. From her first day when she was very resistant to the idea of moving in to her last days in hospice care, Rita and the caregivers showered my mother with love, attention, companionship, and gentleness, even when she wasn't her best self. As she became frail mentally and physically, they continued to provide her with wonderful care. Rita kept me apprised of the changes in my mother's abilities and offered advice and wisdom on how to navigate the process. From the monthly photo newsletters to written communication to outdoor time to arranging for haircuts, manicures, exercise, and crafts - I was confident that my mother was getting the best care possible. They were attentive and knew when she needed extra medical care and explained what was happening and her options. Rita and her team have excellent relationships with medical professionals, so Lotus residents get timely responses when needed. The facility is beautifully maintained and landscaped, and the interior is clean and bright with charming decorations rotated monthly. Families and friends are welcome to visit in the cheerful sitting room or common room. The environment is warm and pleasant. Meals are healthy and attractive, and served communally in the dining room for most residents. With 5 rooms and 2 caregivers 24/7, care is individualized and everyone receives the attention they need. Lotus Senior Care gives peace of mind to families, and most importantly, it gives loving care to its residents.

I could go on for days about all the activities they do. To me what truly makes the place extraordinary is how kind and loving they are to my mom. They genuinely love her.

They aids just sit their talking Spanish to each other and talking about the patient. (They didn't know I understood) instead of caring for patient. The aids then complain if your loved one pushed their call button to much and they share a lot of their complaints with your lived ones which gives them anxiety: even when asked not too they still made a 100 year old women severely anxious about everything all the time.
