Memory Care
Love my apartment! Most residents are wonderful people, have made lots of nice friends. Food is great. I love that I'm surrounded with people that are fun and you can have conversations with them. I love that I no longer have to cook or clean. I still drive and am able to park my car in gated underground parking. Great place!
The people here are really friendly, and the place is very pretty. They have a lovely garden outside. We came and had a little tour, spoke to the people, and they were very helpful and informative. My dad is a hospice patient and they do an excellent job with him and made the transition a very smooth one.
My mother has been at Olivenhain for over 7 months. We have been with her their daily to visit and help her adjust. The staff is far beyond caring and the homelike atmosphere is so much better than the larger institutions that I have visited. The love shown by the staff for the residents is so wonderful. Even many of the caregivers who do not work there but come and provide additional companionship for individual residences have said that the personal care is so much better than many of the larger institutions.
