For about 2 months, I had the privilege to help the CNAs at Woods and was able to see the campus on…read morethe weekends. Although there were some unpleasant moments there, I loved seeing the rest of the facility and visiting the refreshments corner of the dining room. It would have been beneficial for us to do be able to work in other areas, but I guess I should have picked a better school. If you're an employee here (one of our students is a med tech here), you're free to use the swimming pool, and meals are discounted. I think for a normal person, it's around $9. It is made to order, so it looks pretty fresh. Next to it is the bird sanctuary, and a block or two away is there woodwork shop, although I personally never saw it. They have residential and assisted living surround the cafeteria, and across from the Woods side is the memory care unit, which we did not enter. It has a peaceful vibe to it and is nice to walk around. Definitely get a tour of the place with someone, so you can see everything.

A few weeks ago I called to ask for an appointment for a tour…read more A friend of mine, who is acquainted with the business said that I should have "just dropped-in" but that may not have been convenient for the guide giving the tour. The employee that answered my call, is the same person that got such wonderful praise on yelp. So, of course I thought this should go smoothly. Instead she offered to send (message, images) via email. Still not showing, nor anything in my message center. I'm sure I did something wrong, so I'll make another call to see if she's not too busy to give me a tour. Then I'll be more willing to offer an opinion about this business.

I am beyond furious with the Regency Grand at West Covina…read more My mother-in-law lived there for 15 years. Fifteen years. She and my father-in-law spent six of those years together in the same assisted living apartment. The staff and management knew them well. We believed she was part of a community. We trusted that she was cared for. After my father-in-law passed in 2017, everything changed. With new ownership and management came a noticeable decline -- fewer gatherings, fewer thoughtful touches, and a clear shift away from the residents who had built that community. The warmth disappeared. The effort disappeared. The food declined significantly. We dined with her often and eventually began taking her out because meals there were so poor. Over the past year, she lost 35-40 pounds. She was not able to tell us about the food because she had a stroke many years before and could not speak. We later learned she wasn't eating -- and no one alerted us. No one noticed. Or if they did, they failed to act. That is inexcusable. After 15 years in the same apartment, her unit was never properly updated. The carpet was filthy. The bathroom cabinetry was falling apart. The space looked worn down and neglected. For two years, we were repeatedly told renovations were coming. They never happened. Then, after Christmas, she became ill and passed away 20 days later. She spent her final three days on hospice in the very place she had called home for a decade and a half. In those last days, only three staff or management members came to see her. Three. After 15 years. We did hear one staff member comment that she was sad she would no longer get clothes from my MIL (who was always very generous). After her passing, there was no card from the Regency management. No condolences. No acknowledgment to my husband, who had just lost his mother. They once posted notices honoring residents who passed. This time -- nothing. We did everything we could to give her a life filled with dignity and love. We trusted Regency to do the same within their walls. They did not. This is more than disappointment. It is heartbreak -- and a profound sense of betrayal.

First this place works with Kasier under Medicare and is also a place for Kasier Hospice care and…read moreit has Palliative care with Kasier. My Mother -in - Law who had Dementia and was hard to take care off. We tried to take Care of her for almost 2 years but her Dementia got worse with her mood swings from anger and paranoid behavior. We hired help people who worked with disabled and Dementia people and installed cameras through the whole house to record everything. We used online and hands on Doctors care( Kasier gives you face to face online appointments as well sending pictures to your doctor for any reasons to get evaluated.) We document Daily, weekly and monthly habits of my Mother-in-law which was required by Med-cal. But because Dementia is a disease of the brain and the behavior and moods gets worse becomes harder to care for someone with this disease, it's becomes the hardest at night. My mother-in-law didn't sleep, always waking up 3 to 6 times a night and would not sleep. When we moved her to this loving place that gave 24 hours care and it had a graveyard shift that recorded everything. It worked with Kasier Doctors, working with her needs with her own Doctor from Kasier and the Kasier palliative Doctor also, that would visit her with a nurse. This place was down the street so we can visit everyday when my husband got off work and even get the updates. This place would call us and give us updates per text also, It also has cameras everywhere to record everything. We knew this was a good place because we did our homework ( research) we call and checked and reviewed 5 to 6 places before we picked this place. I talked to other people who had their loved ones at this place. I also checked if there were any complaints with Government website for inspections review. Med-cal and Medicare complaint board. Because we had conservative-ship over her health our attorney told us to get outside independent inspection review to make sure this was the right place for her. So we did and paid a professional that is used by the Los Angeles Courts. The professional gave the approval sent a copy to us and a copy to this place to show this was a good place for my Mother-in-Law and very clean. Our attorney visit the place and said it was clean also.
