Belmont Village

My mother has only been at Belmont Village for about 10 days because she has been in rehab, but she is looking forward to going back to Belmont. She liked the activities that they offer, the people are very friendly, and we have had no problems with them.

Very nice but a big more expensive than we wanted. People were nice and the room was more than sufficient.

This is a lovely community. My favorite aspects are the great women and men who work there in various capacities, including their unique "Pals" system. Another important part of our decision to select Belmont Village is the 24/7 nurse on premises. Their care for the memory impaired is outstanding.

This is a very nice place, very clean and nicely decorated. The residents were all friendly and seemed very contented. All of the employees knew the residents by name and happily discussed their day with the residents. [Removed] were friendly and interested in the residents well-being. This community is definitely a 5-Star.

Excellent in every way.

I am impressed with the whole operation! I really like the individualized care my mother gets here. They have done a wonderful job and things are going very well!

We are very pleased with how things have turned out with Belmont Village! It's very expensive, but the place really is top of the line. It's a beautiful facility, and the staff is friendly and professional. I've really been impressed by the variety of activities, and the sense of community the place has. Both of my parents have found something they enjoy!

We never thought we'd be living somewhere as nice as this. The staff is outstanding. The food is great, and my fellow residents are congenial. We are prepared to spend our remaining days here.

We really liked it here. It's a nice place, and has a bit of a homey, community feel. I would give them a five for the short time we spent here. They were very responsive and we appreciated that.

Cheerful atmosphere. Caring and friendly staff. Weekly live entertainment. Plenty of activities.

My mom has been at Belmont Village for 5 years. They've been wonderful years for her & for me. Not only is Belmont a great facility, it has done the most important thing of all - taken the stress of worrying about my dear, sweet Mom off my mind & heart. My mother has Alzheimer's. She is in an advanced state but in good health & spirit. I live in another state so I am not able to see her as much as I would like to. The staff at Belmont keeps me abreast of her life there, good & bad. It's like having a professional family working w/you to cover all the needs of your loved one. I'm notified of Moms appts., physical therapy, personal needs & even her moods. The staff keeps a close eye out for anything "different" that may need the assistance of a nurse or a doctor. Any doctor appts., a PAL (staff member) goes w/ Mom to make sure she's safe & also to keep her company. The relationship between Mom & the PALS is of utmost importance. Mama is accustomed to their faces & kindness. She trusts & enjoys them even tho she may not always "mind" them. The residents are not forced to do anything, just gently guided w/patience next to Godliness. Speaking of guidance, there is so much activity going on at Belmont, believe your loved one will be kept alert & on their toes. They hear the news, (via the PALS), the date, see movies, exercise & are constantly having celebrations from birthdays to holidays. The nurse administers meds on a schedule as dictated by your doctor. And any changes or questionable physical conditions will be reported to you by the Belmont Village nurse. They keep a sharp eye out on my mom as she can't communicate aches, pains, etc. because of her Alzheimer's. I've grown to appreciate them more than I could ever convey. The residence itself is beautiful. I'm happy to know my mom is walking around surrounded by windows, plants, pictures, comfy chairs & couches with music playing. By the way, the residences are always welcomed to sing along & they sure do. When I'm in for a visit, I attend the parties & sing along too! It's fun & easy to see the residents are enjoying themselves. My mom is always well groomed & she gets mani/pedis at the beauty salon right on the premises. I speak to her often as there is a phone on her floor that I can call anytime of the day or night. Hearing Moms voice & her hearing mine as often as I want is a blessing. Every once in a while, she'll ask me to call back later as she's having so much fun involved in some activity or other she "can't talk". Yes, I did say she is in an advanced state of Alzheimer's. The staff at Belmont have provided her such excellent care, she does quite a few things that are pleasantly surprising. I can honestly say she is thriving! I can't leave out a little something that EVERYBODY comments on & likes - the food!! The food!! The food!! Any special diet requirements are strictly monitored but never the less the food manages to stay yummy. I don't know how Belmont does it but my Mom, who LOVES the food, is still in good shape! I'd be bigger than a snow person if it was me but that's also a testament to the professionals in the kitchen. The cooking & menus are balanced & healthy! Lots of smiling tummies at meal time. Sounds like a little piece of heaven on earth, right? Well, it is. Watching our loved ones age is a tough reality. Do yourself a favor & house them somewhere they'll be happy, carefully monitored, well feed, kept busy having fun & loved. Yes, I said loved! The peace of mind you receive will be priceless. I am lucky to have found Belmont Village and I am grateful to have my Mommie reside there.

Belmont Village has been the perfect choice for a couple of my family members. The staff is always courteous, upbeat and attentive to the needs of the residents. As soon as I walk in the door, I am greeted with a smile and a Hello at the front desk when I visit. There are always numerous activities scheduled, the food is always really good and the facility is always clean. I feel that The Belmont Village culture is very warm and everyone there is like family. My family has been extremely happy there. Thank You Belmont Village.

My loved one who is living at Belmont Village is so happy there. That just reassures me of the right choice we made. The staff is excellent and treats you like family. The facility is very clean and hosts an extraordinary amount of activities for the residents. The one on one attention and group events exceed my original expectations. Everyone there has been so courteous and kind. THANK YOU for all that you do.

Great atmosphere. Feels like a home. Staff very friendly and helpful. Show great concern for the well being of the patients. Great weekly entertainment programs for residents. Would recommend Belmont Village to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.

My mother stayed here for two weeks for respite. It was a positive experience. They offered quality care, the community is clean and she enjoyed the meals. They had musicians come in during her stay as well. Overall I would recommend them.

My 95-yr-old aunt suffers from Alzheimer's but is mobile, using a cane. She was living in a different assisted living facility (NOT Belmont Village) and suddenly was struggling to get up out of a chair and to walk. The staff largely ignored these changes and failed to notify us (her family) of the change in her health status. It became clear that she needed to be moved to a memory care facility. We toured several in the South Bay, Pasadena, Glendora, and West Covina areas and Belmont Village in Rancho Palos Verdes was our top choice for many reasons, such as having an on-site registered nurse 24/7 just for the memory care unit. From the start, the staff were very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and warm. The facility and amenities are beautiful, well-maintained, and spotless. The training and continuing education of the staff (from community relations to the staff assistants) is extensive and current. The quality of programming is top notch. When we expressed concerns about the cost perhaps being beyond my aunt's budget, Therese contacted us and said they would work with us to make it affordable for my aunt (and they did). My aunt moved in a month ago and thanks to the dedicated BV team, has adjusted very well. Typical of how BV goes above and beyond, my aunt moved in on a Sunday. [Removed], the nurse manager, voluntarily came in on her day off to make sure my aunt's first day at BV went well! [Removed] also texts and sends photos each week keeping us updated on my aunt's health and activities. Unlike at her former facility, she now participates in program activities, allows the staff to help her with tasks such as showering, and is receiving superior medical/nursing care. She is back to walking with a cane for short distances and is scheduled to begin physical therapy to strengthen her legs (and BV has a great gym/PT room).

I liked this community as well but it was not as close as another that we liked. It is a suitable community and we got an excellent tour. It is very nice but far, the traffic would have been horrible if we had picked this community.

We visited Bellmont Village along with several other facilities about a year before my mother actually needed to move in order to acquaint ourselves with facilities in our area and the 'next chapter in life' process. There was no pressure on the first nor 2 subsequent visits, our questions were answered kindly and completely and the follow up phone calls by Bellmont Village were courteous not solicitations. There were two occasions I thought my mother was ready to move but she changed her mind.[Removed] was gracious both times stating they were there for us when the time was right. When my mother made her final decision to move [Removed] took us on our third tour of the facility as though it was our first. The application and move in process were seamless; my fears never materialized. Upon moving in we were met with offers of help around every corner. The staff sprung to open doors, clear paths and literally lighten our arm loads. They introduced themselves and said, 'Welcome' for days. A special effort was made for my mother to be surrounded with meal time and social companions. It was an outpouring of friendship on every level. This is my third experience with moving a loved one to independent or assisted living. How I wish I had know of Bellmont Village with the other two. I have seen a dramatic change in my mother's personality, appetite and activity level as she has been treated with kindness and dignity. She says she is looking forward to the next chapter in her life at Bellmont Village!

My mother has been living at Belmont Village for over a year now. The care and support we have received has been exceptional. I can't say enough about the staff, nurses and administration. Any time there has been a change in my mothers behavior, we have been guided in the right direction. The building is very clean and the food is very good. The Pals treat the residents with respect and know how to meet the needs of each resident individually. Our lives have all changed as my mom's memory has declined but I have to say, I sleep better now knowing that she is safe!

This was not a good fit for my loved one's needs. She wanted an apartment large enough to fit her furniture. The staff that showed us the community did a very good job and was knowledgeable of the community.
