Belmont Village

The food is outstanding. I have eaten there several times and the food is outstanding. I thought there would be more medical staff on residence at the community. It would be fabulous if they had a medical team on staff or in residence, especially for the dementia unit. I have been enormously happy with what they have provided and they have come through in a moments notice for anything we have needed.

Lively atmosphere. Gave the illusion of an upscale hotel which would be an easier sell to FIL. Jamie was extremely helpful. Really enjoyed this place. Very close to our home. Not sure we can make the budget work. Only advice would be to update their website events page. We were planning to attend one of the events until we noticed the date said it was to take place in 2011. So it hasnt been updated in 3 years.

Had time on Sunday and went to Belmont. Overall excellent match for Mother's personality. Clean. Friendly staff. Variety of food selection. Encourage family participation and sleepovers. Generous activities menu! Support staff. Physical therapy activities. Love Circle of Friends!!!

Met w Christy. We (my brother and I) were impressed with staff and facility (it is 2 years old building) Looks like a week-run and good place for my mom when considering cost , available rooms (studio, 1-bdrm) and overall atmosphere of care. Will definitely be in final selection top 3 options our family is considering for mom in a few weeks time.

Very nice and friendly staff, very informative, nice rooms and dining area. The food looked delicious. My favorite place I visited but also the most expensive. Realistically, not affordable.

It was nice. The food was good, they insisted we stay for a meal. The rooms were nice and it was a new facility. If hadn't been so far away I would have chose them. The people seemed knowledgable and they seemed to have good care. I only toured the community, so my experience is limited.

This was a very nice place. However, the cost is very prohibitive. It was around $4500 per month.

For my situation, she is a diabetic, so having the RN's on staff is really helpful. She orders on the menu in the dining room, so they can help her with those choices and we try and manage the diabetes as we can. The food is amazing and she has actually gained weight! They have something called Circle of Friends where they do puzzles and mental engagement and social activities.

I really liked it, but my mother didn't so much. It was her first attempt at a retirement setting, and she was functional then. She called me up and told me that she felt like she was in jail. I don't know, I loved it, and I loved the staff. It would have been nice if she was happy there.

We were very impressed when we visited Belmont Village. Everyone was friendly and seemed to genuinely care about the residents. They have gone out of their way to make my mother's move and first couple of weeks a pleasant experience. The employees and residents have welcomed my mother as well as made the family feel comfortable when visiting.

It's hard for my Dad, since he requires memory care but is much more active and aware than most of the other residents. Compared to other places we've had experience with this is a very good facility and they do what they can for my Dad's situation. The staff are very attentive and caring, and very responsive to questions or suggestions you might have.

Mom's not happy but she's getting good care. It's very expensive but she's getting a lot of services. She's in the Circle of Friends, the dementia care program. The only thing is that the communication sometimes isn't great. My sister has to make numerous calls as far as reaching the nurses if something needs to be done with mom's medication. Otherwise we're very happy with Belmont Village. In the Circle of Friends they're in class from 9-5. It's broken into 40 minute sections. In the morning they'll learn about something like the history of baseball for example. Then they'll have a snack, then an activity relating to baseball. After that they'll have lunch then they'll com back and have another activity like a craft relating to baseball so they have one theme set for each day. The program is set up 7 days a week. It's an awesome program! You have to test into it. Mom used to be in the lock down because her scores were too low but now that she's getting her proper medication she's doing better.

It was quite beautiful. If I had my way that is where mom would be living here. She had just viewed so many by the time we got to Belmont Village, but it is a wonderful community.

They are friendly!! It is extremely expensive but it has been such a good thing for my aunt, there haven't been any problems. She is unbelievable well. At home she was so isolated, she didn't want to get dressed and didn't care what she looked like. Now she is out in the community the entire day and only in her room at night. It is a dream come true. She is a picky eater but the food is fine. She is in the dementia unit. When she moved in, I told them that she was a florist. They got all these different vases and did a flower arranging class for her. There are community outings, they go to the art museum and go shopping. They will drive her to see her sister. Very accommodating. It is the best experience.

It's my mom that's there and I'm very pleased with Belmont. The cost is equitable to other places. I don't know exactly but from what I've seen they're pretty much the same as most places, price-wise. I like the fact that they don't just leave people in their rooms. They do things with the people there. Improvement wise, I know there's always room for improvement but I honestly can't think of any ways Belmont could improve off the top of my head.

We are very happy. The staff is great – everything about it has been great. Mother is in memory care and she still has activities morning and afternoon. They include all of those residents in the activities. They never just leave them alone. They are always out with other people and they eat with other people. The staff is very good at caring for them.

For both: We only saw the first floor at Belmont Village of Westwood because of an outbreak of a virus.. Residents were asked not to congregate in the common areas and to stay in their rooms. That meant we did not get to see any of the apartments or common areas upstairs. What we did see was very impressive -- clean, upscale, and well-run. I appreciated the thought and research that went into the design of the community. I also loved continuing education opportunities available through their association with UCLA. My boyfriend and I were ready to sign up! However, the cost could be prohibitive.

The first time I stepped foot into the lobby of Belmont Village I knew this was the place for my Dad. It was clean, beautifully decorated, employees were kind and spoke, I have no cons regarding my choice. My Dad is still adjusting but his apartment is great, clean, I couldn't ask for a better place for him to be.

Nice community $2950 deposit and $2950 a month for Independant Living - happy hours etc - nice place - free parking

I enjoyed the tour and really like how close it is to my house. All of the residents seemed very happy and the rooms looked very nice. I like all of the activities and the circle of friends program but I'm concerned that she will stay fixated on her dog and not participate for several weeks. She is used to a slower Oregon/ rural pace so I would hope the nearby busy freeways and busy Ventura Blvd wouldn't stress her out.
