Seasons Living

Arnold is approaching 101 and likes Westmont. He seems to have made the adjustment to a new home without any problems. Staff are friendly and the facility is well maintained.

Dearest Charlie and all Topanga Park Staff, Thank you for the years of care, understanding, service and devotion to our beautiful Mama – Marilynn M. This was her home & her sacred spot on the planet for the past four years. We will miss her sweetness and her feistyness as well, but we know she is soaring now.

To the Wonderful Staff at Topanga Park, Thank you for the fabulous 101st birthday party you gave Peggy. Every day you show care and love for all the residents at Topanga Park, but you out did yourselves last Friday in the planning and work you did for Peggy's party. It was a wonderful celebration for her and her family. Thanks to everyone who was involved in it.

Dear Everyone, Thank you for taking such good care of Clara S. & for giving me updates daily. “Mom” is happy with you and I can see why! Keep up the good work!

Charlie, Thank you so much for all you have done for mom, Betty, while she was in the rehab and your work to get her back to her home. It means a great deal to me, especially being so far away. Just to hear the relief in my sister's report is a great comfort. You have truly acted above and beyond. It was a wonderful feeling to know that we made the right decision to move Mom to Topanga Park.

"Man plans and God laughs," so said my mother and so it came to pass with me, when my husband of over 60 years was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD), a horrible form of Dementia, and I knew I could not keep him at home. I looked into a few facilities when, by accident, I drove by Topanga Park Assisted Living, and just walked in. Charlie, the Executive Director, gave me my first tour. I returned a few times before placing my husband. Topanga park is a small facility with lovely grounds and nice rooms. I have found the following: My husband is safe, very important; He has warm, kind-hearted caregivers who keep him clean and properly groomed; The medical staff is observant and quick to respond to small and larger problems; The meals are very good; the servers are friendly and helpful; all staff seems to pitch in and help out at mealtime; The front desk knows where to direct your inquiries and diligently observes the front entrance; Transportation to doctor appointments and outings are readily available; A variety of activities includes religious services, entertainment, happy hours, movies, games etc.; Maintenance and Housekeeping are always on the job. Now nothing is perfect! However, the needs of my husband have been met. His Dementia has robbed him of much, but Topanga Park and its staff have permitted him to retain some dignity.

My name is Rita B., R.N., a visiting nurse for Topanga Park Facility. This facility provides the best care available in the assisted living community. As a nurse, I visit a lot of different facilities, but I have come to believe that caring for people in need and treating them with respect is very important. Topanga Park provides the most appropriate and comprehensive level of services of anyone in the field of healthcare. I recommend this facility to my close friends and family and to everyone that cares about their loved ones.

I am so grateful to have found Topanga Park and I really appreciate the loving care you showed my mom. Especially your hugs Charlie – they mean a lot to mom, I am sure.

My experience at Topanga Park has been extraordinary. As a volunteer, being able to interact with the seniors and getting to know them, along with hearing their stories has been a real treasure. Not being familiar with working with the senior population, Topanga Park’s staff and residents gave me a new appreciation and understanding of the senior lifestyle. The staff is eccentric, knowledgeable, professional, and most of all personable. Charles Rosenson, Executive Director goes above and beyond for his residents, making sure they are taken care of with the upmost respect. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking into an assisted living facility with memory care and anyone who wants to start volunteering within the senior community. Keep on doing what you do Topanga Park! BINGO!

To everyone at Topanga, Thank you for your love, kindness, and patience. You are the greatest!!

Mr. Charlie Rosenson is a hands on owner who ensures that all aspects of his facility to meet everyone's needs. The staff members are especially friendly, efficient, and treat the residents with dignity and respect. This facility is assisted living at it's best. I would highly recommend Topanga Park to anyone looking for a diligent, comfortable, and “homey” facility who can assist in all areas of personal care. With occasional outings and a weekly music program. Yet the feel of independence in their own room.

We seem to be satisfied with everything so far. It was less than we were going to be charged at the skilled nursing facility and this has more of a life there. That's one reason we chose it. The care is pretty good. There's only one nurse there so sometimes there's mix ups, if a doctor changes orders they don't always catch it right away but that all got straightened out. My mom has dementia so inconsistencies kind of screw her up but it's not that big a deal. In her words, she not that big of a joiner but she loves the bingo. They change things around so she gets confused. There's a calendar but that's not always correct. As far as other activities, I imagine she'll join in. She's only been there a couple months. She really likes it now and it's about 5 minutes away from my house so I can get there quickly if anything happens.

I have had the pleasure to get to know all the staff at Hillcrest Assisted Living and I must say they are doing amazing and are a great team of people. The Administrator is new and really knows what she is doing and has an open door policy for staff, residents and families. They have a new Director of Nursing who really knows his job. New Kitchen Manager is doing a great job. When you walk into Hillcrest you can feel that residents and staff are happy. I have been coming into Hillcrest for a couple years now and since February this place is the best. Apartments are huge and the prices are very reasonable.

My Mom lives here. The building is fairly new and is solely independent living. There are no places to go for walks because the property is fenced in and there’s a highway that runs right in front of it. The staff seems to be fine and Mom likes her apartment. She has a good view of the ocean from her room. The food they serve is okay; she’s allowed to take her meals to her room, so she takes advantage of that a lot. A lot of the residents can’t interact with her because they aren’t as high functioning, so it can be a bit boring. Overall, I would recommend this place, but they should create a walking path for the residents that want to take walks.

I have been here for 10 days I really like this place. The residents are very friendly and the staff are very helpful. The only thing I have a problem with is the Internet it doesn't work throughout the facility. I needed to be in an Assistant Living Facility and I am glad my daughter found this one
