WellQuest Living

My 94 year old Mom was resistant to leaving her residence where she had lived by herself for 25 years. We set her up at Carmel Village and she is thriving. She is eating better and getting more exercise. She agrees that this was the right move for her.

I would rate all at 5 - we have a resident council that meets once a week. The executive director has a Town Hall meeting once a month. There are many activities so you can be involved as much as you like. There is also a hair salon on site.

Overall experience - good combination of value and quality. Clealiness -facility looks good Friendliness of staff - Great staff. They often say hi by name to residents in hallways. They are very positive and upbeat. Quality of care - good care, they address issues as they come up. Could use a bit more staff. Meals/Dining - they have good food, parents like it. Activities - Lots of them and a variety, however my parents do not take advantage of many of them. Overall a good value.

I would tell a friend, that it is great. The average age is definitely in the 80's. My father in law was younger but suffering from Parkinson's so he didn't socialize much. The staff is extremely friendly, trustworthy and attentive. He received excellent care which allowed for us to have peace of mind.

My mother had a positive experience at Cardinal Point. Building friendships and receiving compassionate care can greatly enhance the quality of life, especially in the later stages. She found a supportive community here, which was very comforting for her and our family. We will always be grateful for all of the positive experiences that left lasting memories and gratitude for us and the care providers who made a difference in her life.

I have lived here over nine years and can’t imagine being anywhere else. I visited 11 other retirement communities and none were even close. We are small enough with a perfect activity calendar and great food. The location along water is ideal with temperate climate. Friendly residents and staff - what’s not to like!

People are friendly, food is great, and activities wonderful.Rooms are adequate. I love the movie theater, too. Outings are frequent enough. Medical staff is trained and good security. Plenty of walking paths available.

The transition to Pasadena Highlands was as smooth as it could be. [name removed] bent over backwards to accommodate our every need. My mom has been in the facility for over a month and after not wanting to move, she now can’t stop telling us how much she loves her new place. Everyone there knows her name and we are beyond grateful that we found this place! The garden area in back is a particular treasure to have found as my mom really enjoys walking and needed a place to do so safely. We can’t say enough about how fortunate we feel to have found this gem with the help of A Place for Mom!

My mom is extremely happy at Santianna. The food is great and the facility itself is well-maintained.

Carmel Village community has beautiful grounds and is just overall a nice facility. What we like the most about the community is the friendly staff they have working there. Based on the experience we have had, we have already recommended this community to others and will continue to do so.

My loved one is currently a resident at Carmel Village and the experience has been very good for her. As soon as she walked into Carmel Village, she said "This feels so good and homey." The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is okay; not bad, but not great. Personally, it seems that a little more effort could be put into activities that are aimed at memory care. But my loved one really loves the musical events. All in all, she's in a comfy, safe environment, surrounded by good people and activities and more assistance, as needed.

All of them are 5s. They have worked with my mom to engage with others instead of staying in her room all the time. The meals are excellent although more food than she can eat. I looked at three complexes and they were the best for the money. She has a private room with a shared bath.

I looked at every facility in the Temecula area. It's a very clean and beautiful facility with a positive atmosphere. It's in a central location near the 215 freeway and many medical offices. Transportation to medical appointments is available. I appreciated that I didn't feel a lot of sales pressure to sign my mother up. The staff is very friendly and the are approachable. The activities program is very strong with a full time activities director and staff. They have many daily activities and trips. For an active senior it's perfect. The management staff is responsive and the move in process was smooth. My mom likes the food, the afternoon tea, and her caregivers so far. She moved there in January. There is a family portal called LifeLoop where you can view the activities for the week.

I have had friends ask me and I am highly encouraging them to consider the Grove. I'm speaking to one about it tomorrow. The staff at the Grove is incredible. The fact that a large part of the staff are still there from when my father lived there from 2012 until he passed to heaven in 2015 is a testimony to the type of organization and caring in that community. To be hugged on and loved on by staff when we moved my mom in was so helpful in our own stress of finding the right place for her. She made her own choice but we were so happy she chose the Grove. Already the staff has been incredibly flexible to my mom's needs and [name removed] the chef made a special gluten free meal for our family in the family dining room the day we moved her in... that kind of special attention can't be found everywhere! And the fact that the Grove has cared for my dad's cat for the last 8 years is a testimony of their "people centered" services!

The staff are all very helpful and truly appear to love helping the residents. Facility is dated but always clean. Very comfortable for mom.

Moving my dad into Carmel village was one of the best things I did for him. The value for the $ was unmatched. He was well taken care of and his $ lasted longer than in other facilities. .

I actually was acting telling a good friend about it yesterday, how it's a nice place. It is very clean, very nice, the staff is nice and there is a pleasant atmosphere.They do a lot of activities there. They are doing some remodeling, so it's looking good. Also, they do wellness checks which is really good. I would recommend this place to whoever that's looking for a seniors place to live.

Their compassion and care is unmatched. Carmel Village is so professional and everyone working there is so very kind. I would recommend this facility to others.

My mother recently passed away and so I am writing this review for someone considering Park View Place. If you are seeking an engaged Executive Director and team, you will find it here. While there is no perfect place anywhere, PVP is a beautiful facility with staff that engage in conversations with their residents. There is a hairstylist, a gym, a game room, a bar, a movie theater. And, you can eat meals with others in the dining hall or in private. You can live as independently as you choose or you can request additional services. For me, knowing my mother was surrounded by people who genuinely cared about her and who could support her physical needs was most important. Our family found Park View Place to be a wonderful place for our mother.

I most definitely recommend the facility. Every single staff member we met were extremely friendly. When someone heard me walking behind, she stopped and turned around to acknowledge me. I originally put my sister in law into a one bedroom apartment for assisted living. However, after the first ten days, [name removed], the on-site managing nurse, and I agreed that memory care would be better. So we made another move. The transition was seamless and the quality of care she is receiving is exceptional. My sister in law is so happy as they get her up every morning and she is engaged in a full day of activities. I cannot say enough about the quality of the entire staff. The food isn't great, though there are options to choose from. I expected it to be relatively bland to meet most dietary needs, but it's basically institutional food. However, it is restaurant style which makes for a pleasant overall experience. I looked at several assisted living facilities and found many were previously hotels, which is exactly how it felt inside. Carmel Village was initially an apartment complex, so it feels more homey and permanent.
