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.
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.
Recently widowed, my mother moved to Sunrise a few months ago. Because this was her first move without my father, we were unsure how she would acclimate to her new home. Was I wrong to worry! It took her no time at all to feel at home, safe and welcomed by the tremendous staff at Sunrise. Everyone from reception, the medical care team, social directors and kitchen staff took her in and got to know her. They are beyond warm, loving and attentive to every single resident while having boundless energy and patience to match. As someone who travels a lot, I am extremely grateful to know my mother is in good hands when I am not there. There are so many activities for her to partake in each day, it's a relief to see her engaged and having fun. After shopping around other facilities, I am so happy we made the move to Sunrise. It is no surprise U.S. News and World Reports ranked it as one of the best senior living facilities in the U.S.
