Best Memory Care in Orange County

This community is fantastic and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We had a loved one in the assisted living side, and when the time came to move to the memory care side, the Crescendo staff was simply amazing. Our loved one flourished under their care and lived out their final years under their caring watch. The staff are the best and their compassion is unmatched. Food was always good. Activities appropriate. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Best place in Orange County - and i know because we looked before making the placement decision.

Highly recommend

It is a great facility. The staff members are all very friendly, especially the administrative staff. The room sizes here are very nice and the second day she was here, they called me and asked if they could give her a pedicure, nails done, a facial, and her hair done. I would recommend them to others who are looking.

Happy to have found a new home

Trying to find an Assisted Living facility you can trust that will take good care of your loved one during the pandemic has been the most stressful time in my life. Fortunately during my search, I stumbled upon Crescendo. During my first phone call, this sounded like the perfect place, which made me nervous, was it too good to be true? I took the chance and so happy I did! From the very first call, Alea was the calm presence I so desperately needed. She answered my endless questions (even at night and on the weekends) and truly went above and beyond, and for that I will be forever grateful. My Mom needed so much care and I thought I covered it all prior to move in, but as each new concern came up, a solution was quickly found. What I have appreciated the most is their attentiveness. After having dealt with two skilled nursing facilities, Crescendo was like the sun breaking through the dark clouds. The vibe is upbeat and the grounds and courtyard are so welcoming, you will want to hang out there it is so peaceful, which has given my Mom hope and she is happy.

Crescendo Sr, Living Review

I found Crescendo Sr. Living to be a very caring community. My mom was a very difficult person and fought leaving her own home until age 93. One of the few conversations I had with my mom when she was cognizant was one where she said she felt she was in the best place she could be given her situation. She said everyone was very nice and it was clean there but lacked decor. [Name removed], the director, was on top of everything and right before my mom passed I noticed there was new furniture in the media room to accommodate the residents and it looked very nice. My mom's room was kept clean and her bed was clean and made up for her. My brother dropped in all different hours of the day and I dropped in after work on on weekends and we always noticed how caring the staff was and willing to do anything we needed for our mom's comfort. I had searched for a couple of years knowing the time my mom would need more care was imminent and I feel that Crescendo is very reasonable for the cost of the room and the care they provided. The people in their care seemed to enjoy the food and there was a salon as well for nails and hair needs for the residents. I was impressed with this facility and would highly recommend.

We were very warmly welcomed, arriving to the small of fresh baked cookies! I felt the staff really listened to our concerns and needs and responded well with options for living and care that are surprisingly affordable. The property has been very nicely updated and feels fresh and clean. The variety of comfortable gathering spaces was impressive and we love the idea of being able to reserve them for family parties. The smaller community has a very familiar feeling and we can see why residents love living there!

A great place for my mother.

Crescendo Memory Care is a great place. A good value price wise and the staff does an excellent job caring for the residents, all of whom have difficulties. Seeing the staff very patiently dealing with other residents gives me confidence my mom gets the same loving care.

Fantastic! This is the 3rd facility my parents have living in, with that being said this by far has the best caring, loving staff. [Name removed] the director is so involved and extremely caring. She has an incredible staff which is proof you are only as good as your manager.

I toured this community

I went on a tour here and the staff was nice and friendly. They answered all of my questions and concerns. She went over everything for me. This was a 2 story building and the memory care was on the second floor. I didn't like that he had no access to the garden area. It was a big facility and to many turns to get where you are going. I think my husband would be overwhelmed here. I recommend families tour this place before choosing.

Awful

This place is all smoke and mirrors. The only redeeming factor is that it is close to other senior communities that are better when you're ready to move out. The management is horrible, the maintenance is horrible, you'll fight the cockroaches for space and they overwork their poor staff to the point of insanity. The residents are miserable, they don't get the medications on time, if at all and they charge for stuff that was never providing. Run from this hole!

Happy Camper

The new management team of Crescendo Senior Living of Placentia is a group of people with big hearts to seniors. I am a frequent visitor, visited the assisted living and often their memory care. In the memory care, I have never seen so much passion in the staff. The love they give to my friend is overwhelming. I don't know where their patience is coming from but I have so much great respect for them. On going activities, lots of laughter and staff respect and connect with their clients. My friend is a happy camper compared to where she came from!!! Glad she moved, now I always have quality visits with my friend!

Glad we moved her

Care persons are excellent. They are always checking on their client. Hilda is great. Location is close by too. Good variety of food. Hairdresser, Susan, will come to the room to wash, cut, & style your hair if you are bed bound. Inner courtyard gives people something quiet and peaceful to look at. Mom asked, "Why didn't I come here sooner?"
