My mothers experience was good. She did have to stay on the second floor due to her diagnosis of dementia and that was not present for her...felt like a prisoner. The staff were very attentive and most of all she was safe so we could feel like we had a break from 24x7 care givers. She doesn't show signs of dementia most of the time but the doctor gave the word and Atria had no choice but to put her on memory care floor. We plan an another trip next April and will need some help then.
Since the moment I walked on to Atria Del Rey in Rancho Cucamonga, I knew it was the place for my dad. Welcoming and kind, smiles and so helpful. The transition was perfect. It was all about my dad, his safety and needs. Not for a moment did I have any second thoughts. Daily activities and menus were visible. I watched an exercise class and everyone was smiling and participating. I feel so blessed that Atria Del Rey was available to our family. Definitely am expressing my experience to everyone I meet. Thank you so much to all staff at Atria Del Rey Rancho Cucamonga.
My Brother has been a resident of Vista del Mar Senior Living for nearly 3 years, and we were very happy with our choice. We had problems finding another Assisted Living facility in Culver City, and Vista del Mar was perfect. It has met all of my Brother's needs and he has been very happy there. We have since found another Assisted Living facility in Culver City, and that is the only reason my Brother is moving. The new facility will have big shoes to fill. The Staff at Vista del Mar, (especially [Name removed]) should be proud to be associated with a great Senior Living Center. Thank all of you.
