If you or your loved one are looking for a fabulous independent living environment, with some support (daily check ins, weekly cleaning, meals, etc), I highly recommend the Oaks!

My mom lived at Arcadia Gardens for over 10 years. It all started with a stroke, and I tried to…read moretake care of her at home myself, but I quickly realized I couldn't do both that and work. So, after asking friends and everyone I met about what they did and who they used, we found out about Arcadia Gardens Retirement Hotel. I was really happy with the care my mom got there. With their help, she recovered from the first stroke and was able to get around and feed herself. Over time, she had another stroke, a heart attack, and eventually had memory loss, spending her last years in memory care. I want to say that not only did my mom get wonderful care, but they also cared about me! They made sure I understood what my mom needed. They went over her meds, always explaining what she was taking, and talked about diapers, what brands worked best for her, wheelchairs, mattresses for the hospital bed, and so on. I will say I went several times each week to check on things - it's teamwork, and with Arcadia Gardens on my team, my mom had a good life right up until the end. Thank you Flor and her staff in memory lane.

A big thanks also to Gohard, Yvonne, Lisa, and the front desk ladies -- along with the rest of the team we enjoy seeing each visit. Of course, every facility has its ups and downs -- no place is perfect -- but this one is definitely among the better ones. Julie actually listens to our concerns and needs, and the kitchen staff is very accommodating with anything our mother needs. While the call light response time could be a little quicker at times, we understand how busy the caregivers are. Overall, we are truly grateful. My mother is safe and cared for here, and that means everything. Thank you all!

I first met Mauricio several years ago when I was looking for an assisted living facility for my…read moreuncle. Mauricio helped us understand what to look for, the kind of questions to ask and facilitated tours of several facilities. We ultimately decided on one that was my uncle's home until he passed away. Recently I reached out to Mauricio again for assistance with a friend who needed to find a place for her disabled husband. Mauricio connected her with Portia, one of the Golden Pathways advisors, who not only helped find a great residential board and care for my friend's husband, but also supported my friend thru the whole process and provided education and support to the the family as well. Mauricio and Portia provide professional and compassionate assistance. They are genuine in their desire to help, are knowledgeable about the many facilities in the area, and they go the extra mile. And a huge plus is that there is no cost for their assistance!.

Here at the Grove, we've had independent-living friends who've needed temporary assisted living or, with life changes, have moved permanently into such an arrangement in The Hearth (assisted living) or into The Ranch (memory care), or into a more intensive environment, Stewart Cottage. Having lived and worked in the Midwest and East Coast, before moving to SoCal, we're thoroughly familiar with all the options of care; it's clear to us that MVGH is one of the very best we've know. Our staff is dedicated, skilled, and kind. Rarely a day goes by without either my wife or I commenting on what a remarkable, gracious, place this. We know that whatever life brings our way, we will have friends, we will receive care, our needs will be met. If you have a family member in need of some specialized care, there is no better place than MVGH.

Up until a month ago, Grandpa continued his daily routines of stretching, gardening, walking, exercising, socializing, driving, and investing in his stocks. The past month has been an emotional rollercoaster with Grandpa suffering from a fall fracturing his vertebra, a recent heart attack, and the discovery of aggressive cancer. Miraculously, we planned an intimate wedding at Grandpa's nursing facility within less than 24 hours of him being admitted. As our ring bearer, Grandpa held our family heirloom ring pillow Grandma Ginni (the same grandparent that passed in hospice at Villa Gardens in 2018) sewed for my mom's wedding in 1992. Before Grandpa passed, he signed our marriage license certificate as our witness. Although I'm brokenhearted Grandpa Ken couldn't get medically cleared to attend our larger wedding we've planned for 1.5 years on June 8, I'm grateful we could fulfill his dying wish to see his granddaughter married thanks to your wonderful staff including Irma!

Dealing with Virgina (older Filipino lady) to do an intake is the biggest waste of time. She is so…read moreunprofessional and sloppy, it is very frustrating corresponding back and forth with her when she goes out of town so often for "family emergencies", and is the main point of contact for intake. My mother is an Air Force vet that has frontotemporal dementia. She is 63, which is a little early to be experiencing this. I went on a tour of this facility back in January, so this has been a very slow process. I told Virgina my mothers age the day of the tour where she wrote it down, as well as other details such as the current facility my mother is at. I was concerned when I would call back to check on the process that she would ask me the same questions over and over, as if Virgina is suffering from dementia herself. She has been making false promises since February when she verbally told me my mother was approved to move in the first week of march. The first week rolled around and I didn't hear anything from Virgina, so i called her direct cell where i have been getting sent to voicemail ever since because she apparently has been having back to back family emergencies or events where she goes out of town (lol). She will send you to voicemail, then ask to call back later through text. I guess this facility was rieed of my checking on the status of the placement because they finally determined today after months of deliberation that my mother is suddenly "too young". This was already after Virginia said she would be moving within a week. They knew my mother's age months ago, it seems as if they are just lazy and want to pick and choose who to care for. Glad they showed their true colors before I sent the person I love the most in the world here... if anyone can suggest facilities that are diverse and have caring staff (as my mother is black), I would be totally open to suggestions because I am starting from square one again.
