Assisted Living Communities in Brea, CA

"I really like them. I like the fact that they're really close to a medical facility, which is so much easier because if something was needed for Mom, she would have access to that facility. The lady I talked to there was outstanding. Heather gave us the tour. They were very, very informative and I learned so much, like how to prepare to get the documents and have things organized, so you have a smooth transition (since there's so much paperwork that you have to process). They were really very good, and I got detailed information. I talked to Ryan prior to talking to Heather, and he was the one who just really enlightened me about everything. He just made things so much more clear. And moving forward, no matter where I go, I have more information in order to know how to have a smooth transition if I use other facilities."

"We looked at Oakmont of Fullerton memory care side. It was beautiful, but it was very expensive. The facility was essentially brand new, and they had just started moving residents in two weeks beforehand. It was very nice, but it was way out of our price range. The amenities were nice. There were a lot of different activities, and they had a good variety of food. I liked the layout of the shared rooms, but they were divided by a bathroom. We liked the floor plan. It's top of the line. It was like Beverly Hills of senior living."

"My friend moved into Bliss Care Home. This is a boarding place. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are very nice. Everything is very nice. It has a nice backyard, lots of fruit trees, an area where they can sit out, and a covered gazebo. Their living atmosphere is friendly, quiet, and nice. They have activities for the guests. The other three women that are there are nice. She has someone to converse with. I would put someone in there again if I had to. I would use their services again. I haven't found a problem with them."

"It was an airy place, high ceilings, and a feeling like an old mansion. They had very warm and friendly people there. There was a bistro café as you walk in on the side that offered coffee and snacks to the residents and the guests. It was like an old nice hotel. The staff were very helpful,. They were right on it all the time -- everything that was needed -- and followed up with my mother. The apartments were pretty and surrounded by trees and walking paths. It was very green looking out the window. The one-bedroom didn't have a door between the bedroom and the living room, but it did go around the corner, so there was some sense of privacy between the two. There were two closets, a good sized bathroom, and a kitchen. It looked nice, and I thought I want to live here. The menu was on the elegant side; it wasn't just macaroni and cheese and hotdogs, but different kinds of nice salads, roast beef, and chicken done in different ways. It was like a restaurant menu rather than a cafeteria. The dining area was quite large, and people could sit by themselves if they wanted to. There's also a family dining room. They also told me that they get their orders based on the choices of the day, and they come and bring them their food. They had physical activities like exercise classes and community college classes where instructors would come in and teach, and they had some games and movie nights. "

"Cambridge Court is excellent and feels like a wonderful home. The staff couldn’t be more gracious, kinder, sweeter, and give more personalized service. Everything is perfect. They have activities every single day. My mother-in-law loves to crochet, and they have a crochet club and meeting club. In the facility is a hair salon and a laundry room on both floors. They have restaurant-style service for three meals a day, and there are three things on the menu to choose from. If you don’t care for that, you can pick anything else that they have on the excess menu. The food is excellent, and they have a 24-hour service of fresh fruits in the dining room and snacks. It is very lovely, very quiet, and very peaceful. She has a very large, 400 sq. ft. room. "

"My aunt and uncle moved to Bayshire Yorba Linda. They can accommodate a lot of things. The grounds are kept clean and the atmosphere is very inviting. It was very spacious. It didn't seem like everything was kind of crammed in. The people that we met there were very helpful and very kind. We haven't run into any problems as far as helping my aunt and uncle. The food is very good. My uncle is not as social as my aunt. Even within memory care, they have a lot of activities to stimulate their brain, and to keep them busy. We've been very happy with the available activities. The value of memory care is awesome. It's pretty reasonable."

"Park Regency Retirement Center was a good and clean community. My mother told all her relatives she talked to that she had a great time, the food was good, and the staff was good and caring."

"As a resident of two years,and a highly educated person, I am fully disappointed in how this administration is as phoney as I have ever experienced. I also find them wholly unqualified to deal with residents, problems, outcomes. There is no follow through or any explanations as to why not. The lack of conscious thinking or acting is appalling. This is no place I would ever send a loved one. "

"My aunt lives here, and she really like the environment, she also made a lots of friends there, She likes the daily activities and social life this community provides. When our family come visit her, we enjoy spend our time in the family room, it’s comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated."

"We were able to visit Sunrise, and it was very clean. It had a really nice feel to it, and we really liked it. The people were very friendly. I think that they had music in the lobby area, and it was really comfortable. It was kind of up on a hilly area, and it still had some residential areas and fields. It seemed a little bit more open. They residents could drive, or, if they couldn't, they had a bus service option.The only problem we were thinking was the distance. My uncle lived in Orange, and his doctor was located towards Santa. Ana. So, it was a little bit farther him to travel to go to his doctor, and I thought it would be an issue if we put him in there. "

"My mother stayed at Brookdale Casa Whittier for less than two weeks. She is a very stubborn woman, and she kept complaining, but it was the best cost-wise, and I had no problem with the staff. They kept me informed every day, and they would call me with an update and let me know her daily activities and everything about what's going on. Everything was wonderful, and even the people that lived there were very nice. Her room was really nice. The dining area and the food were good. They had all sorts of activities. They do outside functions, and they do beading, but she is a loner, she just wanted to watch TV, and she didn't want to participate. "

"My mom moved in 9 months ago. The improvement in her health is tremendous. She has made friends and is very active with activities, exercising, going places and attending programs. There is enough to do that she is not bored. She is happy and glad she made the move. Her 1 bedroom place fits her well and she loves the location. The staff is always helpful, they know the residents and go out of their way to be nice. "
