Belmont Village

I thought that this place was nice and had a lot of great amenities available to all of the residents. The staff was kind and made sure to answer any questions I had for them about there community. It just was not as nice as some of the other places I had looked at and in the end was just not the right fit for her.

They were a good community and in the mater of trying to fit into what was being offered and finding a good fit for brother was a new experience to me. On the tour they were pretty much professional and friendly. I went through the whole community. It was helpful to have a list of communities to visit from A Place For Mom. This was not the right fit.

We chose this community for my father.He was very resistant to move out of his home so he has been very critical of the community. The biggest complaint he has is it takes the staff 10-15 to respond to his call buttons. This is especially frustrating if it is meal time because he becomes grumpy when he's hungry. I try to leave prepared snacks in his room so he is more comfortable. They also have a bistro downstairs that offers light snacks such as Coffee water, fresh fruit and breakfast pastries. I've eaten there a few times and it is bland.That's understandable though because they are trying to cater to everyone.There's a good mix of food and he's tried a few things he didn't like but overall he enjoys the food. He's starting to join in on some of the activities such as events and history lessons.They also play music in the afternoon of all genres.It's nice that he is participating now because he wasn't at all when he moved in. We chose this place because it's great for assisted living patients because they have a nurse on staff on every floor.

I had a good tour of this community. It is a good community, and from what I saw they do a good job with the cleanliness of the community. The staff was very friendly, and nice. It was a good experience, I did not have any problems with my tour. Unfortunately their rates were a little to high for our budget.

We had a very nice tour of this community. Everyone was very kind, and welcoming. The community appeared to be very well maintained. The staff was informative, and helpful. The experience was very nice one.

This looked like a nice clean community when I visited. The people I met were nice. I would recommend this community, however it did feel more like a convalescent home

Everything is going very well for my mother. I really like this facility and everybody is very nice and kind. They do a good job with keeping everything nice and clean. The staff is very helpful and attentive. She is trying a few activities like bingo, and sing a longs. The food is decent. Overall everything is working out very well.

Overall a good place

My family was grateful for the prompt responses when we inquired about relocating our Mom to Belmont. Some of the initial promises were not kept but the staff were collaborative in problem solving when we approached them with our concerns. Family was consistently present during the transition but the true test will be how care is occurring on future visits when we drop in. My Mom is sad about leaving her former living arrangements at Brookdale but her condition warranted increased expertise with memory care. We are hopeful Belmont can deliver on their promises. To date, the PALS have been attentive, patient and caring which we, as her out of town children, deeply appreciate.

I have a friend that moved here a few months ago and they really liked it. Not as friendly as one would hope, but very clean.

My mother has not resided at Belmont Village long enough for me to rate all services. In general i am very happy I moved my mother here. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They have alerted me to problems and are working on solutions.

So far it's going okay. The initial on-boarding was difficult, but they have worked really hard. They are good people there, and they do the best they can with what they have. I feel like I have to do a little more keeping on top of the cleaning, than I thought I would. Generally the other residents are friendly and happy. We liked the location here, and we really liked the circle of friends program, but it's turning out to not be quite what I thought it would it would be. I also really liked the 24/7 nursing staff. The communication among the staff needs to be worked on, things are dropped from shift to shift, and it takes a while to get a call returned.

They seem to have some issues with staffing, especially on the Memory floor. This contributes to some lack of communication between employees. Over all we are very pleased with Belmont, so far. One thing we were lead to believe on the tour and on admit, was that one could "die in place there" if needed. This turns out to only apply to if hospice is brought in. We were told at a meeting that if "the resident is bed bound, they would have to leave the facility" due to lack of skilled nursing. Again the only exception is if hospice is brought in.

I really liked the staff at this location.

We had a bit of rocky start here, but after things settled down this had been a great place. When our loved one first moved in they weren't taking care of all of her needs, and it feels like it took about a month before they started handling everything they needed to. With a few exceptions the staff are all very friendly and caring, although they could do better about returning calls and communication in general.

A lovely community with apartment living to assisted living and memory care. Mom took her dog and others have dogs and cats. Food is included to two meals a day, your choice although her apartment has a kitchenette. I have eaten with Mom on occasion and enjoyed the food. Great and dynamic library. Transportation and outings are available. Only negative so far is that recreation such as yoga is given by staff and not experienced teachers.

When I visited Jill was very helpful and gracious. It's definitely not as swank as some that I have seen, but is also not as expensive. The activities looked robust, and they were lots of opportunities to socialize. The dining room was clean and there were lots of folks filing in for dinner when I was there. The employees at Belmont weren't as outgoing as another place I had seen, and in fact I overheard a couple of staff talking about not being happy to come in the next day, within earshot of several residents. The carpet had some spots that needed some attention, and we walked past some debris a couple times, and she didn't stop to pick it up.

It's tiny! My father is ambulatory and likes to walk around and they couldn't take him on walks either. There is a garden that's across the street that they take people to but it's treacherous. It would not be good for someone with a tendency to fall. There is one resident that does go for walks in the garden but it's not paved and I don't think it would be good for my father. Otherwise, Belmont Village is on this hill, near the Hollywood Bowl. It's very hilly and near a major street. This would not be a good option for my father.

My husband and I only found out about the physical therapists on staff the last three days of our 3 week stay - we booked respite care for two-- only wanted two weeks but they required one month, however, because it was already a week into the month we were able to get three weeks (we left at two and a half weeks). The food was very good for the most part, except when the chef was out you knew it..... really..... the waiter/waitress staff tried hard (most of them), but we think they were short.....the staff in general was very nice and helpful..... but we feel that we should have had more info from the person that booked us in...... The morning exercise pro was very nice -- good way to start the day.... however, around the time that we left they were doing away with the morning exercise class.... people were crushed.... another problem we had, one of the beds had a dark brown color, knit material. bed sheet set that was not acceptable to my husband... we asked if they could change the sheets to regular white sheets, never got an answer, so on the third day we went out and bought an acceptable set of white sheets which is now on a shelf in our closet....

My mother was isolated at home after the doctor told her she couldn't't drive any longer. I was overwhelmed by the number of options for senior living until I discovered A Place for Mom. Belinda asked a lot of questions and then sent us a very reasonable list of affordable options which we revised together after each visit. My mother knew Belmont was right for her as soon as she walked in the door. She is very happy, has made many new friends and most of all, I have peace of mind knowing she is well cared for.
