Huntington Terrace

My father was ill when he moved in "Connections for Living" one month ago. The doctors at another Facility assessed him with dementia, however, he had a major infection. "Connections for Living" was the perfect place for him, at the time. The care he received from Erica and her staff allowed my father to receive the care he needed. He was assessed at a level 4, which included bathing, transport, medication, etc. in addition to the costs of the room. He loves the food!! He has really enjoyed joking and laughing with the staff. He is now getting around by himself in his wheelchair. He was able to be re-assessed so that he can be moved to Assisted Living. Since he was only there for a month, he only went on one outing to the Beach, but he said it was very enjoyable. He has been to several activities at "Connections for Living" (singing, "balloon volleyball", etc) and Assisted Living (Hawaiian Singers & Dancers, and BBQ), and said they were a lot of fun. He is looking forward to his move.

My mom lives in Connections on the first floor, dedicated to memory care patients. She is very happy and the director Ericka Koester and her staff are caring and take over and above care for all the patients. I am so grateful to all of the caregivers that give my mom an extra hug or laugh with her. The food is very good, the facility is very clean with plenty of areas to enjoy and programs and activities. I would highly recommend Huntington Terrace Connections knowing your family member will be treated with excellent and loving care.

They were very nice and wonderful to work with. They could not have done anything more than they did. I was exceptionally pleased with the place. Huntington Terrace is a really nice place, however it turned out not to be for mom. Several of the residents have dementia, and the people there do a great job caring for those with dementia, however mom does not and needed to be around others she could converse with more.

Everything with Huntington Terrace has really gone incredibly well. I have no complaints.

* My parents love this place!! They were skeptical at first, but were soon won over by the kind staff & wonderful care they receive!! This is where I plan to move one day! Diana

Services at the Huntington Terrace in Huntington Beach is good. I've only been there once, so, my experience is limited. I'd give them four star. Staff is friendly, caring and professional. Lots of activities are offered. My mother stays here and seems to be happy. She is staying in a one bedroom. There were some issues, but I think my brother is resolving them directly. Overall, we are happy.

They were very clean. They were real friendly. They really do interact with the people who live there. They treat people really nicely. The food is good but the service is lacking. The people who wait table aren't the best. The cleaners are OK but don't meet my standards; the bathroom is clean but they don't vacuum thoroughly. In the hallways and in public areas it looks very clean, and very organized. The people who are there are pretty friendly and interact alot more. I compared it to eight other places. They do the best in service on taking people places; they really do a great job with that, and I am very impressed with it.

Good overall...a little short staffed with caregivers...sometimes wait 15 minutes for them to respond to calls for care. New walk in tub but staff not trained to operate yet. Very friendly staff!

Warm and inviting. Great patio space and residents can go outside in a secure area when they want to go outside. Quiet room is a nice place to relax. Dining area looks like they are in a home.

My mom is having a great time. She does activities. She signs up to go places. She is driven to doctors apt. She goes to the store. She has a restaurant where she is able to order food. You cannot miss the Buffets that Glen puts on once a month. She walks and talks to everyone.

The staff is trained well. I like the feeling of being at home. The communication is very open. It's very clean. They are taking very good care of my loved one.

The staff are all very nice and the place is clean. However, I think that my loved one just needs more care than they can offer. It would be nice to maybe have more CNAs that are certified. They do have caregivers there to help, but some residents need a little bit more medical attention. Other than that, they did have an opening when we were stuck and needed it, and it is a really nice place.

They held our hand every step of the way , they have been very gracious, and informative. She enjoys the food, she says, "I can have anything I want." It's a little on the high side in price, but for us it is worth it. We just knew when we walked in, that it was right for us. There isn't anything I would have them change.

Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. My mother-in-law was a little resistant but that very quickly turned into comfort and enjoyment due to all the activities and choices. She seems to be embracing the facility and is especially fond of the staff. So far the experience has been a blessing for our whole family.

I thought it was nice, but Westminster Terrace was more lively. They said that they were going to do something and they didn't do it, and I don't like being lied to, so I chose Westminster.

The staff at Huntington Terrace is very professional and understand the emotional, physical, and intellectual needs of the seniors that live there. The administrative staff was very helpful in choosing accommodations for two parents that required assisted care after medical emergencies. The facility is clean, attractive, and comprehensive in its services. The meals are nutritious, vary daily, provide alternative choices, and the dining room staff is well aware of each resident's needs and likes. The caregiving/nursing staff is well trained and follow a workable structure. I am very pleased that my family members are there. It is centrally located and surrounded by pharmacies and medical facilities. Shopping is close by. The facility maintains daily schedules of activities that residents may choose including bus trips for shopping and sightseeing.

I looked at this one and it was nice but not as nice as the other one we looked at.

Attractive and peaceful inside and out. Patio or terrace Restaurant style food service (healthy) Shower has step over (negative) Cost for service beyond basic (i.e. med management...) Personal laundry service cost but have laundry facilities. Rug smelled People seem happy 160 residents 100 staff

Clean, friendly, secure, almost affordable, proximity, definitely a candidate. Rating 4 stars

Friendly Staff, Everyone is helpful and in good spirits. Move in went smooth. Great Chef. Its like a cruise ship without the water. Lots of activities to keep you busy. Friendly and helpful tenants.
