The staff at Huntington Terrace superseded our expectations. From the moment you enter the staff there speak life! The atmosphere is so welcoming! As you step further in you experience the resident’s cheerfulness as well. My brother-in-law [name removed] is in the best hands and that gives my husband [name removed] and I great comfort and peace in mind. In addition to the immediate care the supervisors have also gone above and beyond with advice on his all around care. We are so grateful!... Read more

My best friend of over 40 years moved to Huntington Terrace about 8 months ago and she absolutely loves it! I visit her every week and she can not stop talking about how great it is. she loves the new manager and says he is always running around helping all the residents. He even comes in every morning a 6am to deliver the paper. He is very involved and very approachable any time she has a question or needs something. The care staff are so sweet and caring to her. she feels very welcomed and at home. I eat here with her and love the food. it is delicious. I am thinking of selling my condo in Seal Beach and moving here

Thank you for your kind words and glowing review of our community, our staff and our dining program.

My Grandfather has lived at Huntington Terrace for about a year and he loves it!...he is constantly busy with activities and just loves the food!....he said that since some of the 'bad apples' have left and the new management has come in that the place has really improved. He loves the new manager and the fact that he is always available to talk to. My grandfather has recommended Huntington Terrace to at least 2 of his friends that live closeby

My neighbor's mother fell last week and needs more help, so I brought her to Huntington Terrace for a tour yesterday. My mother lived there a couple of years ago and I was surprised to see NO familiar faces. When we arrived we were told that there was no one available to tour us or provide us with any information and to come back another day! We looked around a little at the dining room and lobby area and I heard staff talking about how many people were leaving and overheard one caregiver saying she was interviewing for a new job so she could get out of there!! I was embarrassed and I DO NOT think she is going to want to come back! What happened??

My relative has lived at Huntington Terrace for over a year where the safety of the residents has gone downhill. The majority of the staff are wonderful, caring and knowledgeable. However, the direction from the top has gotten worse in the past few months. If your loved one has special safety needs due to age related psychological problems, I suggest you avoid this place. He/she will NOT get the care and guidance they deserve.

my mother has lived at Huntington Terrace for 3+ years. it has been amazing. the carestaff and nurses are so great. the food is always amazing, the activities are great also. they underwent a management change a few months back and the whole building changed. some of the amazing long time staff and managers have left and they are bringing in incompetent people starting at the top. It is such a shame because this place was amazing for a long time, but now i am looking to move my mother. Very disappointing.

Moving here was the best decision I have ever made. The people here are nice and friendly and the staff is top notch. The inside is decorated nicely with bright colors and comfortable furniture. The outside is landscaped very well there is a pool. There are a lot of activities here to do. The food is the best food I've ever eaten in fact maybe too good I've seemed to have gained a pound or two since moving in. I would recommend coming to visit us you won't be sorry

This was our favorite, but because it is 1/2 hour each way, think I prefer Carmel Village.

Only facility with a pool for water exercises. Dining room was bright with many windows. Assigned dining with two sittings. Food was excellent far superior over any facility I visited. They have a personal trainer available a few days a week that many residences love. Good pricing, they are in the top 3 on my list

This biggest positive to this place would have to be how tasty there meals are. I have had a couple of meals with my wife and was very pleased with them. The quality of care the staff provided for her physical needs was good but as far as the mental needs they lacked a little bit. I ended up moving her back home with me after five weeks of her staying there she was just not making much improvement.

I toured this community for my mother and her needs. The tour went well, this is a nice community. From what I saw everything appeared to be nice and clean. Everyone was nice and friendly. They were very kind to my family and I. This is a nice community with kind people.

The facility was beautiful and had a very open layout. The staff was informative and gave us a detailed tour of the community. The studio was too tiny and not very appealing for my loved ones needs and was over priced for what was offered.

From our first visit at Huntington Terrace, we were impressed with the overall atmosphere of the facility. Caregivers, staff, restaurant help AND residents appeared happy and upbeat. This played a huge part in our decision placing our 92 year old parents there. The vibe was positive, happy, and welcoming. We toured several other facilities in the area, but found Huntington Terrace the perfect fit. The chef prepares delicious meals and there are many selections on the menu that changes each day. The folks had not been eating properly prior to their arrival and the great food has encouraged them to eat. They have stated it is like being a cruise ship. With no meals to worry about planning and preparing, Mom is in heaven. Being new to the community, we were concerned that there would be a long adjustment period; however, this hasn't been the case at all. The staff encourages them to participate in activities and the other residents are so friendly and welcoming, they are slowly venturing out. I can't say enough about this facility. The monthly payment isn't cheap, but the location of the facility, the accommodations, activities, and the additional care which is available as needed, makes Huntington Terrace a very special place. It made a very difficult transition from "independent" living to assisted living so easy for Mom and Dad.

Huntington Terrace is a wonderful environment for seniors. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful, the high quality dining room food rivals many restaurants, and the atmosphere is lively. In visiting other facilities in the area, Huntington Terrace had more activity in and around the lobby. They offer a variety of activities to residents, from weinie roasts to wine tasting! There is a dedication to the residents' safety and well-being. The building is well maintained and very clean. All this at a reasonable cost.

They take very good care of the property. It seems to be pretty nice. We're very pleased with the services. He's eating well so I think it's good. If he does not like what they fix they will make him something else.

I love that place. The staff is so compassionate and loving with the clients, sometimes it makes me cry. The food is really delicious, and they have lots of events where they put out some fabulous spreads, just gorgeous. We had a few things that needed to be repaired, and they were Johnny on the spot.
