6 Best Nursing Homes in Rancho Santa Clarita, CA

My father was a resident at Evergreen for just shy of two years. Unfortunately when he was diagnosed with dementia, we needed to move him to a residence with a higher level of care. He had one of the few one bedroom apartments available. The staff and caregivers were very attentive to his needs. There are plenty activities for the residents to take part in if they choose. My father was very happy with the meals. He loved the caregivers who helped him with bathing. Overall, Evergreen was the perfect place for him.

My loved one is currently a resident at The Lighthouse and everything has been great for her at this facility so far. We are very pleased with the establishment and all aspects of our experience with them. We would recommend The Lighthouse to others.

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.
