6 Best Nursing Homes in Castaic, CA

The move in was very easy. Easy moving my loved one from Assisted to Memory Care also. Food has been an issue. My loved one does not eat pork, chicken or meat. They knew this going in. The current chef is really trying to make things there better. He has new recipes and I do think the food has been better since he came. Housekeeping is great. They empty trash and keep rooms clean. They do my loved one's laundry (I used to do it in Assisted Living). I think the staff are nice. They probably need more staff, but I think they try. I would like more activities on a daily a basis. Sometimes they have things written on a calendar, but the activity doesn't happen. I do think that it is extremely important for families to visit. Very few residents in Memory Care have visitors. I think they may treat my loved one better because they know my family is there everyday, at different times. I do think they should communicate with families more. They have recently raised the rent almost 10%. That is a lot. But, they have been painting and planting and making the building more inviting. I like the Memory Care Director and the caregivers. It is a very challenging job. The Memory Care Director, [name removed], is always smiling. The new Executive Director, [name removed], is trying to organize and make things more efficient and pleasurable. Overall, I would place my loved one here again, if the choice were for today.

Would love to live there! Facility is BEAUTIFUL! Very clean and nicely decorated. It smells so fresh and clean. Delicious meals and menu offlers many selections. My friend's room cozy and peaceful. Also love the happy hour and great variety of activities. Definitely something for everyone! The patio areas are lush and so inviting. Lovely place to just sit and relax. The staff is first rate, kind caring and accommodating. Make you feel like VIPS. So basically I LOVE it!

We really enjoy the amount of space they have inside and outside of the community. We like how the kitchen has a ton of windows that brings in that natural bright light, never depressing looking. All in all our loved one enjoys the meals aside from a few, and we so far have had a great experience.
