Fountain Square of Lompoc

Overall, the staff are very caring. They care for the residents very well and seem to be very loving people. The way the keep the community running is very nice, and it's very secure. My mom complains about how often they serve green beans, but she also doesn't tell them she wants something else, which I feel like they would try to accommodate if she would tell them.

Westmont of Santa Barbara is a great choice for senior living on the central coast. This community is beautiful and the care staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. There are some new employee at the management level and their presence has brought a great new energy to Westmont of Santa Barbara.

Best decision ever moving my parents to Villa Blanca, they are the best. [name removed] and [name removed] are absolutely wonderful. They are very attentive, loving, and compassionate. They even came to my dad's celebration of life to pay their respects. The house is very clean with a beautiful outdoor space. It feels like a home. The food is nutritious. I would eat it. They always keep you up to date on your loved one. My stepmom is still living there. I have visited a whole bunch and never saw anything that would concern me. A board and care is much more reasonable price wise and for my family it suited their needs so much better. I would highly recommend them for a loved one.
