    I especially have appreciated the new Director of Memory Care, Ben. He has provided me his cell…read morenumber and he is very responsive whenever I have texted with a need or a concern. The staff in the memory care unit are all very friendly. Some of the standouts in friendliness and in taking an interest in my mom are Nick, Susie, Ariehanna, Marco (nurse) and Brittney (nurse). There was some frustration awhile back with my mom not getting her med orders from her doctor's office as Oakmont nurse fax was not working. This was eventually resolved when Ben intervened. Jhoana, director of nursing has also been very responsive. In dining in the Assisted Living dining room, the service could be improved in terms of servers checking back with the table to see how we are faring, and also asking if we would like drink refills. Isabella, a newer employee has been amazing though and goes above and beyond in these areas. She is definitely a stand out. Amy, the Memory Care Activities coordinator, has been great at trying to get my mom to come to activities. At times I have had a hard time connecting with activities department as I only have an email and it takes time to get a response back. I have wished there was another way to connect with them quickly other than email. Maria, the Director has been responsive and helpful when we have had concerns or provided feedback here and there. Edgar, Oakmont transporter, is very kind to my mom and responsive. Last but not least, the front desk ladies, Lexi and Maddy have been great! I love that they always greet me by name and are helpful with a multitude of things. I will mention one of the challenges of memory care is that there are different levels of impairment in the clients. My mom is higher functioning and I do wish there were more activities that she could join the assisted living residents in. This would require staff support and planning for her to go to some of those activities but I do think she would appreciate being with some higher functioning residents. She complains a lot about feeling lonely, as many of the other residents in memory care are not able to interact with her.

    something needs to be done regarding your resident care coordinator maria nguyen. not only is she…read morevery rude, dismissive, disrespectful, lacks empathy, inconsiderate, she is over all not the type of person who you'd want to speak about regarding your loved one. senior safety should be priority in a senior living community like this, that is CLEARLY not marias priority...maybe it's money? not sure. as a well know community please do better with who you allow near our loved ones. 3 stars are for jhoana salmi hsd and other staff members (caregivers, nurses, culinary, driver, activities) who genuinely are happy to work here and show its . thank you for all you do, you are greatly appreciated

    It's a shame that this beautiful facility is being led by a director that is not compassionate or…read moreable to politely interact with residents, their families and in some cases even her employees. My personal experience: We placed my mom at Fullerton Gardens after a positive interaction with the person in charge of recruiting families (not the director). I researched and found that former residents had a positive experience here. We were very transparent with my mom's behavior and the extent of her Alzheimer's. The recruiter and director responded positively and said the behaviors we describe are all part of the disease. This includes wandering, taking things that belonged to others and denying medication. We were 100% transparent! Unfortunately within 2 weeks my mom was sent to the ER in hopes of a psych evaluation. After 2 trips to the ER and a 51/50 I find out that they are diligently trying to get her heavily medicated. This facility recommended that we use their medical contacts because that's how they get the patients medicated to their liking. My mom's psychiatrist told us "the director of that facility is asking me to give her some strong medication"! My mom left that facility with 5 medications. 4 more than what she started with. Every time we visited, we witnessed residents trying to exit the main building to go outside to their secure garden (one of their selling points). However, they were always redirected to go back inside. Not once did I see a resident roaming the garden. My guess is they don't have enough staff to have someone outside or they simply didn't want to go outside. In any case, don't be fooled by their beautiful grounds. Incontinence was an issue (never was before she was at Fullerton Gardens). Especially after the heavy medications. Apparently my mom was smearing her feces. It wasn't until we placed my mom in a more competent facility that we learned that they were probably not checking her diaper often enough. I confidently say this because at her new facility she has NEVER had an issue. This facility has issues because it is being run by a bitter, unfriendly, harsh woman-Sheryl McCaskil. She can put on a smile when you first meet her but it won't be long before her true colors show. Especially if you're not with anyone else. I tried to have an ombudsman with me whenever we met but it wasn't possible every time. Our few encounters that were just the two of us left me with my jaw on the floor. Just rude and immature. I can go on and on but it's not worth the stress it's bringing me back right now. When I tried to speak to a board member I quickly learned that wasn't going anywhere. Mostly Caucasian males...definitely not interested in the wellbeing of their residents. After finding the right placement for my mom I look back at her time here and my heart breaks for the residents that are still there. Please consider another place for your loved one if you're thinking about this facility. Don't be blinded by their beautiful grounds and fancy fliers My family and I went back and forth between lawyering up or not but we concluded that our energy is best spent finding a new place for my mom and making sure she's happy at her new facility. So far so good!

To a one, they also seem to appreciate each other and their employer. I have always found smiles on their faces, and never a distracted or conflicted attitude when assisting their patients. I have served as a chaplain and pastor to persons in other similar centers and hospitals. Gordon Lane stands out to me in so many ways.

    I would never go there again. I had a setback after major surgery and needed care to recover my…read morecore strength so I could safely go to the restroom on my own. I told them this was my goal. Once they got me there they put me in a diaper! After putting up with this for several days I threatened to require transfer to another care center. Then they promised to get a commode for me for my bedside. They kept promising and promising, and never did it for the 6+ weeks I was there! In addition, the first space I was assigned had a TV that would only turn off if you unplugged it. Also, their TV channels did not include KTLA, a major local channel. Hygiene was also an issue. The curtain between me and my neighbor had smear of snot or other bodily fluids on it. It took more than a week for them to change it. Later on I had a chest infection and I got some fluid on the new curtain. When I told the cleaning crew, all they did was rehang the same curtain with the side toward my neighbor (who was there for cancer treatment)! There was also a security issue. One male resident, who apparently had some form of dementia, kept wandering the halls and entering my space, claiming he was visiting a friend (no males were in my unit, and the other resident also did not want him in our unit). I told the staff and they cautioned him ("you don't want to go back to the hospital (mental?), do you?"), but he continued to poke his head into my unit. I observed them lying to residents. They took away my neighbor's wheelchair because they didn't want her wandering unaccompanied in the halls, but told her they didn't know what happened to it. They promised physical therapy four times a week but I never received more than 10 to 15 minutes two or three times a week, and when I asked for more they said staff were unavailable.
