Belmont Village

I brought my Mother to Belmont Village in Encino. After living at a Senior facility independently in Northridge for over 5 yrs, her cognitive functions declined rapidly. After hiring aides 24hrs a day, I moved her into the Assisted Living in the same complex, and her mental health declined further. Their AL was negligent. I had to move my Mom again not a month later. I looked at several homes before landing at the Belmont. If your loved one starts to decline cognitively, there is NOWHERE better than the Belmont. They have 5 levels of programming, depending on where they are on the cognitive continuum. Circle of Friends is a 7 day a week, from 9:00[removed] series of interactive activities all designed to increase cognition. Within just 4 days of arriving, I saw a MAJOR change in my Mom for the better! She began exercise everyday after giving it up entirely for 3 years. The staff (lead by the outstanding Executive Director Cynthia, to the head of Assisted Living, Elizabeth, to every aide, dining staff and the Circle of Friends) all work very hard to engage my Mom. They have played match maker for my Mom, who knew no one when she arrived! In the month she has now been there, she went from spending everyday of the week in front of the TV alone (with the exception of Bingo 2x a week for her only mental stimulation), having trouble finding words, and looking deshovelled at her old place, to being a vibrant 88 yr old excited about life again! I can't recommend them enough!!!

I an very pleased with the staff here. They do what they can to take great care of my loved one. She also gets many chances to participate in activities, and she's even in an activity group called "Circle of Friends", which helps dementia patients to adjust. We are very satisfied!

Very pleased with care Mom is receiving. Impressed with amount of staff available for assistance. Food is top notch but standard selections are unchanged which makes me wonder if the very long term residents are a little tired of it. Only one daily special is new. Would recommend

The staff have been wonderful at this community. The food is good and they do offer outings to restaurants for lunch. They have daily activities and the community is very clean. The community has large windows and is bright and airy. I would recommend this community.

After having a tour this community became my second choice. However after some consideration and seeing other communities, it is far for me and it would be difficult for me. I would be dealing with traffic.

This was a wonderful facility when I toured! It was a bit on the expensive side, and we didn't feel like my loved one would really fit in with the other residents, but we did like the facility itself.

beautiful facility. Not sure want to start with Assisted Living facility -- it's probably would be a 'name' thing with my mother. Even though there are independent's there.

mother,[Removed] Day, became a resident at BV in Feb 2016 and passed away there on June 18. We celebrated her 100th birthday on March 14 and we brought in hospice on April 27. Bottom line, my family and I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of our BV experience. At our initial meeting with [Removed] , we got a very good impression of the place and the people. We saw the teamwork of the PALS and sensed the family atmosphere which we personally experienced throughout our time there. My mother was initially in the Circle of Friends and the program was very well run by [Removed] and her assistants. A PAL named [Removed] connected very well with my mother. At the beginning of this year we moved my mother to the "Neighborhood" where she continued to receive excellent care and attention from the PALS and nursing staff. [Removed] and [Removed] were always available and responsive to all our needs and were personally very supportive to me and my family. I always felt like we were all on the same team. A PAL named [Removed] became very attached to my mother and gave her excellent care. [Removed] the maintenance manager deserves special recognition for all the work he does and the positive attitude he maintains. [Removed] should obviously be recognized for setting the tone ,expectations, and empowering the others to do their jobs. This being such a people intensive business with staff,residents, and families I know that there are bound to be issues. All I can say is that we had an excellent experience and highly recommend BV-Memphis.

I toured this community for care for my wife. I like the nice staff. The community was very nice. The community was clean. This was a community that was close to home, We would recommend this community for all the great services that are offered to loved ones.

Liked it a lot. Very clean. Renovated rooms. Great "restaurant" living. Activities higher level- yoga. book club. art classes.

Having visited senior living facilities over the year. Belmont Village stands out as an amazing community. Its starts the moment you walk in the front door, you are greeted friendly and warm. The staff are very attentive to their residents, you can see the residents are well taken care of. Comments from your residents show how comfortable they feel liking there. The events calendar, from the activity programs to daily interaction, show there to be an abundance of interest to take part in. I will certainly recommend Belmont Village of Buffalo Grove.

I am happy with the care that is received here. The staff is kind and very attentive to his needs. We like that the community is clean and maintained. He seems to like the menu and the variety. They offer him to particiapte in the activities that are offered and we have found that to be good for him to participate from time to time. We would recommend the care and value of this community for a loved one for care

Cost exceeds monthly income fabulous facility and staff

Belmont Village was a good choice when I toured. The tour guide was wonderful. The place was clean and organized, I had a good experience touring.

This facility has been wonderful! The staff seem to be taking care of my loved one quite well. They have nice, nutritious options for meals, and my loved one enjoys the enriching activities that they have to offer! I am quite impressed with this facility!

Very efficient and caring staff. Always a smile and a quick response to your loved ones' needs and requests. I highly recommend this facility.

I have lived in Belmont Village for the past 6 months. I have enjoyed meeting and being with the people. Belmont Village is a wonderful community to live in.

We toured this community for my wife's care. We did like the staff who were nice and able to answer the questions on the care that is required. The community is clean and the menu was appealing. We would suggest that other families tour this community for the care of a loved.

My husband just moved in literally yesterday, but so far things have been going extremely well. They are very good at communicating. The nurse called me 2 times yesterday to update me on how he was going his first day. They have a variety of activities available, and I am looking forward to having this be a good experience.

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.
