Crestavilla

I find Crestavilla a wonderful place to live at any time, but during this time of COVID19 the powers of be have done an amazing job to make it a safe and pleasurable place to be.

What a pleasure it is to have a person such as Julie at Crestavilla As a local she has given me countless tips about great restaurants etc in the area. She is charming, she is nice and she is very knowledgeable. She is so pleasant that she actually bright up the front desk with her charisma. They are lucky to have a person such as this with her dedication and devotion employed at the desk.

Let me introduce myself-I am a lawyer from Illinois and for the last 60 years, owned and managed a large apartment complex in Peoria Illinois. The reason I mention this is that I am most familiar with the accommodation that need to be accorded to residents. Although of course we don't have a meal plan, the residential situation is much the same as occurs in Crestavilla. Because of this, I know successful management. From my experience I can appreciate the operation that the ED [name removed] so fastidiously has put together and maintains. He obviously hires only the best, most personable and devoted personnel. I have to say under his watch, I consider everyone totally charming and accommodating and professional as their position. It is just a rarity that I see this experience as exists here. They run a tight ship but with caring and devotion. Oh I should mention the food, i can not believe the quality of the meals. Each meal surpassed the last. Interestingly enough, if you do not like the menu for a certain evening, we can pick from a general all the time menu. I am so impressed with the operation and the total enjoyment of living in Crestavilla.

[Name Removed] are so good and accommodating and really represent just a pleasure to be in their company. They are both extremely competent and do their job to the utmost perfection. They are pleasant beyond words and truly are a extreme credit to Crestavilla. I have to say a special word about [Name Removed]. She has a unique personality and actually brings joy and fun to her duties. The whole atmosphere is greatly improved by these two girls-over the top nice. I cannot say enough about them.

I have lived in Crestavilla for two years and the staff is great. [names removed] are so accommodating and really represent Crestavilla and Atria well. They are both beyond words and a extreme credit to the community. They are so competent and do their job tp the utmost perfection. The entire team bring joy and fun to their duties. The whole atmosphere is over the top nice. I can not say enough about Crestavilla

Just about two years ago I came to tour the community. My daughter and I met with [name removed] who guided the tour and invited us to lunch. This was my first contact with Crestvilla. She was delightful and knowledgeable and professional. She learned that I liked hershey kisses and border collies and arranged a bucket of kisses and photo of a border collie to be placed in the room she exhibited. We were very impressed and I considered the likelihood of residency as I matured. Early this summer as I sought to leave Palm Springs heat, I made contact again to determine if I could spend the summer. She gleefully indicated yes. My next contact was [name removed] for contract signing and she was likewise charming and knowledgeable and also most professional. I have encountered her many times while at Crestavilla and always sensed the caring and warmth she exhibits. I must say that I am most impressed with the team who work here.

We found this place for Mom & Dad after it became too hard for them to climb stairs in their house. I have to say it was a stroke of luck and good fortune. The staff is extremely professional, courteous, and caring. They make you feel comfortable about your decision to place family at Crestavilla. True to their word, we can be the "kids" and they are the caregivers. The facility is outstanding and the activities and amenities are diverse and top-of-the-line. We have no qualms about the care our parents receive and we can see it in their faces and hear it in their voices. Crestavilla's response to COVID-19 has been nothing short of outstanding. While it's difficult to only talk on the phone, we know they are safe from the virus. The precautions and protocols that have been implemented have kept all the residents safe and healthy. Crestavilla is a great community and we are thankful the Mom & Dad can reside there, knowing they are safe and well cared for around the clock.

I am a resident at Crestavilla and feel very lucky to be living this amazing life style.

Visited and will be be very amendability to me Moving there in the near future. Couldn,t ask for a more beautiful choice for senior living.

My sisters and I are so happy with our choice to place our parents in Crestavilla. Both of them have dementia (Mom has FTD and dad, Alzheimer’s). Since they were not able to stay home anymore we spent a lot of time researching senior living facilities in the OC area. Since the first day in January 2020, we believe they are in the best hands possible. Crestavilla’s staff is amazing. [name removed] is a Godsend and is available 24/7. Their in-house doctor visits them every Friday. The care staff is compassionate and patient. The food and beverages are top notch. The architecture and interior design of the buildings makes us proud to show where are parents are now living. Of course COVID hit in mid-March and the facility had to pivot to keep all residents safe. They have been wonderful making concessions and organizing FaceTime calls and window visits. Although we are saddened that our parents can’t leave the facility on excursions like before, they have really made it extra special for them by hosting educational happy hours and exotic meals as if they were traveling all the sandy beaches on earth. We look forward to the day we can return to a new normal, but we feel secure in knowing our parents are being loved and cared for.

If you have a family member who needs a home away from home then Crestavilla is the place to be.My parents have been there for nine months and every staff member treats them like they are their parents. The atmosphere is cheerful and the happy hours are second to none. [name removed] is very creative in organizing special events for the residents. The attendance is fantastic and the audience walks away with a feeling of happiness. The nursing staff and caregivers make me comfortable knowing that my parents are in good hands ..[name removed] the Executive Director and [name removed] ,Assistant Director,I call them the dynamic duo, run a great ship and are always willing to listen to suggestions from the residents ,staff ,and family members. You never have to worry about your loved ones going hungry.They have a diverse menu and the food is flavorful and well prepared . Last but not least,when you walk into the building the front desk staff is the best in the business making you feel welcome and trying to assist you in whatever way they can. I've toured alot of assisted living places with my parents and not one comes close to Crestavilla.You won't be disappointed.

First of all, the facility is beautiful and seems to be one of the nicest communities around this area. The advertise that they a a cruise ship on land experience, but don't let this fool you it is not all what it seems. They want to want to maximum their services to make more money for services that may not needed the by resident. When my mom arrived she was recovering from surgery and on the to road recovery. However, rather then moving her forward they held her back so that she would need more services therefore increasing their revenue. This approach ensured that she did not progress. Whenever I had financial questions they never responded unless they didn't receive payment, then I got their attention.

We have been very pleased with Crestaville. They have really stepped up during the virus. They are bringing all the meals to residents' rooms. The staff is very kind. The food is good. They have two dining rooms and a bistro which are open during normal circumstances.

$15,000 a month for their highest cost two bedroom apartment with wrap around porch. Two bedroom apartments all have two bathrooms, only one bathroom is necessary for [name removed]. Lunch was excellent. Only half full and seems to be aiming for the luxury resident. Too expensive for [name removed]. Also he wants more residents than the current 80 who are living there.

This is what senior living should be everywhere. Quality care and service in a quiet unassuming way. Signature by name and by nature.

An amazing place. My mom has improved so much she is like she was 6 years ago! Their care and amenities are unsurpassed!! I’m ready to move in!!

I have lived here since the opening. The staff and the people are all so kind and attentive. The activities are great. I would recommend Crestavilla to anyone who wants to live in beautiful surroundings. This is like living in a 5 star resort with gourmet food, fun activities and attentive staff.

My Mom waited 1.5 years for Crestavilla to finish construction and open. It was worth the wait! The community is beautiful, like a 5-star resort! She loves her well appointed one-bedroom apartment, with all of the amenities that support living independently. Capable, caring staff is available 24/7 for assisted living as needed. All of the staff is lovely and very friendly, and caring! I just don’t worry about her now - I know she is enjoying her new chapter in life, and has unobtrusive “eyes” on her well-being 24 hours per day. My Mom is a great cook, but I have to admit, she is enjoying the cuisine and choices of open dining at Crestavilla! We looked at other senior communities, but there is just nothing that comes close to Crestavilla!

Looks good, but a bit expensive.
