Westminster Terrace Senior Living
5.0

It's been a much better experience than I thought. Mom has been happy with the food, activities, and staff. Yes, I'd absolutely recommend to others.

Atria Del Sol in Mission Viejo, CA
4.6

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.

All 5's! But we had to take my dad out because he escaped from the fenced memory care area by going around a corner, dragging a bench to the fence and using it to climb over the fence. He is very spry. The found him wandering in the parking lot and ascertained what happened from security camera footage. They told me they couldn't accommodate him. After trials and tribulations, he is now staying at his girlfriend's house with in-home care 4 hours a day. And his dementia has improved significantly! Probably because he's taking his medicine and eating properly. Also because it's not Alzheimer's.
