Memory Care
It's been a much better experience than I thought. Mom has been happy with the food, activities, and staff. Yes, I'd absolutely recommend to others.
We chose ActivCare Orange because I really liked the personal connection that we made, the staff were very open in comparison to the others that we looked at. It was like they opened up the entire facility, they were honest and it was full disclosure. It created a wonderful sense that we were making the right decision by placing our loved one here. We had some difficulty with people that were trying to access our loved one and cause harm and they worked with us very well and were super supportive. We worked in great partnership to resolve the issue and most importantly, they kept our loved one safe. I would definitely recommend ActiveCare Orange to others.
First of all, I chose this community because it was affordable and it met the necessary requirements. One of the main reasons was that they have friendly staff . I visited other communities and that seemed so sterile and the staff personalities were so dry, At this community, the staff are friendly and willing to interact and carry a dialogue with the residents My mother loves to be active and this community offers her that opportunity if she desires to, The admissions director has been a wealth of information and helpful to us as well.
