There wasn't anything that I didn't like about Freedom Village. The place is incredible. The people are lovely. The grounds are beautiful and very well-kept. I looked at two-bedroom-two-bath units, and both of them were on the ground floor. They had mini kitchenettes. There was a refrigerator. You could add or delete anything you wanted from the unit. You could put in your own closet, and you could put a stackable washer and dryer if you wanted to. They offered activities. It's in a very nice l...

I toured Freedom Village. It was very friendly, very organized, and very patient-client-centered. All the people living there seemed very happy and liked it. They've had the same ownership since the beginning. It was a very top-notch place. It was clean. It was updated. It was very pleasant. The food was very good.

Freedom Village Retirement Community was a very nice facility. The people were pretty helpful and nice. Their food was good. That's where everybody brought their little packages because the meals were sufficient. You could take some of it home. We just didn't care for the parking. The rooms were nice, but they were a little bit small. They were a little older community so they weren't quite up-to-date.

My mother was a resident of Freedom Village/ Lake Forest Ca. She passed away while residing in the assisted living facility of Freedom Village. Shortly after a fall she passed away. Before, during and after her passing I had noticed many issues.My Mother was denied medical services ( she was bedridden for days, unable to eat, sleep or use the restroom). The director of nursing at Freedom Village claimed she removed my Mothers wedding ring, however this ring was never found. Freedom Village fa...

I had a luncheon information meeting with Freedom Village. It was very informative and I intend to return to learn more about the place. I had a partial walkthrough in that they showed the vacant models, but did not get through the entire village as it was a group tour. We saw two model apartments that were one-bedroom and two-bedroom. They offer activities and amenities and they're too many to mention. I visited the dining area and it was absolutely beautiful. I had a meal and it was very good.

I think Freedom Village was all pretty much class A as far as their food service offerings, their amenities, the availability of rooms, and the arrangement of their facility. The meal selection was good, and it was very, very well prepared. I think they also had a class A level staff with regards to their attitudes and their abilities to take care of things. They provide hair care, a barbershop, a small workout room, and an outdoor walking/communal gathering place. So, that was good and helpful.

I am resident of "Freedom Village" for 1 year and I love this place. As I was getting older I start having some health issues. My husband passed away and I do not have children. I decided to move here because of QUALITY and LIFETIME guarantee of care. That is a peace of mind. In addition to that , everybody is so friendly, food is excellent and help is 24 hours a day. I am so grateful for early Covid-19 vaccinations. The best thing is, come out here, and find out yourself. You will love it, as I...

I went to Freedom Village. I think they had an outstanding chef, creative meals, a great gym, and people like it there. The rooms are adequate, they remodel them, and they have a full kitchen. We're looking at independent and maybe some assisted. The staff is great, fine, and knowledgeable. We had a meal, it was excellent, and the chef was very creative. The food was excellent, outstanding, and the overall living atmosphere was very good. The rooms were more than adequate, the central air, which...

Freedom Village is a well-established, stable community, with a remarkable staff - some of whom have been with the organization since it's founding 32 or so years ago. During the Covid 19 pandemic, the staff has performed heroically to keep residents safe, involved, and even entertained. Yes, the facilties are very good, the food is great, the campus is conveniently located - but, most importantly - the staff and residents are family.

Freedom Village is perfect. We have everything you can imagine like card games, shopping, dominoes, a library, a spa, a garden, and an outdoor bistro. The food is excellent. The dining area has pictures on the wall, linens on the table, and they eat off china. It's great. It's a well-maintained facility.

My mother had to stay at Freedom Village after her surgery. It was her first time being in a skilled nursing facility. We were greeted with kindness and compassion by every person there. We cannot thank the staff enough for helping my mom get through a terrible situation! We hope that we won't be back, but if we have to we would 100% request Freedom Village.

I looked at the assisted living of Freedom Village and did not care for it. It was very hospital-like and didn’t seem to have a lot of activities either inside or that they took the residents to. When they said that they would take my mom down to do stuff, they didn’t always follow through. The people were the best. My mom loved the staff. The rooms were pretty standard and needed some updating. It was less expensive than where she is now, but it didn’t offer as many things. One of the reasons w...

The independent living side of Freedom Village was very nice. However, once you move downstairs to assisted living, it was very dark, very cold, and depressing. The dining area was also smaller.

Provider Response

We are thrilled that you enjoyed your visit to Freedom Village. When considering a Continuing Care Retirement Community it is important to look at all levels of care because the significance of a CCRC is that you can move through the next levels of care as your needs change. We understand that sometimes it may be difficult to envision what life would be like for someone who needs significant assistance with their daily living activities. Our boutique style Health Care Center was designed to o...

We were very impressed with Freedom Village. It was the nicest facility but a little more expensive, and we just didn’t have that budget. They offered three levels of service from independent living to skilled nursing, which at that time would have been helpful since I was looking for both of my in-laws who had varying needs. The people were great and very helpful, but it was expensive. They had a lot of options, but we were not able to make that move.

Provider Response

Thank you for visiting Freedom Village. We are excited that you were impressed with our community and found value in the levels of care that Freedom Village offers. It can be difficult to compare Retirement Community pricing because each community offers a different financial model. Did you know that a huge benefit of partnering with Freedom Village is our guarantee of care for life? We have found that seniors find it difficult to budget for long term care however our guarantee provides peac...

I like freedom Village; I have a lot of friends there. I was very impressed, and I thought it was very nice, clean, and neat. The people were very friendly. My friend loves it there. They have a lot of activities, they are listed on the board, and they're very active. They're very good with transportation if you want to go the doctor or need to go someplace.

My mother likes Freedom Village a lot. They have a buy-in program -- not a month-to-month where you need to come up with several hundred dollars to move in -- so that put it out of range. It had a lot of activities and an active shuttle that took the residents around on a regular basis, and the location was good. Although the rooms were smaller, they were very nicely-appointed.

Freedom Village Health Center is an amazing facility. I have been here for seven weeks and the thoughtful, kind and patient employees here have made a difficult situation as pleasant as it could be under the circumstances. Aside from my personal care, I am so impressed with the care and attention that all of the residents are receiving. With that in mind, I have already recommended this facility to a friend who came here after surgery and was very happy with the care that she received. The place...

Freedom Village was quite nice inside. Its major drawback is it’s an older community and it doesn’t have a very good location. It has a nice interior but relatively unsavory neighborhood. It has high traffic and probably noisier than others. But the rooms were quite nice, the dining area was fine and the meal was pretty good.

We were impressed by the independent living at Freedom Village because it looked very nice. The assisted living was in a separate building and was depressing. The independent building had a pool and a courtyard, which is ideal and really good. It’s a buy-in, so I don’t think my parents will qualify. We went one afternoon and saw the independent side, and then we went back to see the health center which has the assisted living and the skilled nursing. The only problem is it’s in a separate buildi...

My mother is currently in a facility where she has been in for a year. She is at Freedom Village. I have been very happy with the staff. They do a great job. They're very warm and caring. However, my mother has improved so much in her health and so, I wanted to have a facility where she has a little bit more flexibility to go outside on her own and things like that. Since Freedom Village is more enclosed and they have a number of people who are a little more of the wanderers with dementia, my mo...

We have several friends living at Freedom Village, and the nice thing about that place is that it is very, very close to our church. One of the things that we have been looking for is to stay close to the church because I was senior pastor there until I retired. Freedom Village has everything for assisted living. We had lunch there, and their menu looked very inviting and very healthy. They have Bible studies over there. The place is very clean. The people who worked there were very friendly and...

Freedom Village resembled a motel, apartment or condo building, with a pool in the middle. We were checking it out for my friend, who is considering various assisted living arrangements. They seem to be able to accommodate most senior circumstances with a variety of living options available. It also looked as though the staff could easily manage all of the residents, which is important to us. The main area seemed clean and well tended, with a casual and fresh décor. The staff was very nice and...
