WellQuest Living

I wish they had more exercise options. Other facilities seem to have many more opportunities for fitness classes. Otherwise the main drawback is the location- it is next to railroad tracks and strip malls with homeless encampments nearby, but when you are inside the facility the experience is very good.

The place is nice and clean, but they dis not clean my mothers apartment well and never cleaned the toilet or bathroom. They did not do her laundry either. Very disappointed as I had to do this all myself even though it was suppose to be included. There were a couple nice people at the front desk and in the dining hall, but overwhelmingly the staff was unfriendly and often put off when you would ask them questions. [name removed] the health and wellness director was nice and really responsive so that was great. My mother was suppose to have escorts to meals and help with getting to activities this was often not done and she lost a tone of weight because she was not getting escorts or being helped. The food was ok. My mother did not go to many activities as she needed help getting to them and it was not provided. The events we did go to were fun and the food was decent. Many cost extra though. They did have more activities then the place she is at now, however that's the only thing I can say was better there. If you have a self driven active senior then I think the events are good at Russellville, but not if you need assistance or reminders for activities because you won't get them. The place is one of the most expensive I my area and the assisted living is nice, but the memory care is sad and small and tucked in the back. The neighborhood is pretty shady and there are many houseless and drug addicted camps around. They had been cleared out when we first looked, but got increasingly worse as my mother was there. Check out the memory care before you decide to stay, because you won't want to go. My advice is check out the memory care at each facility you visit because we found only a few nice ones and it was much harder to move my mom to another community. We chose to leave when my mother had to go memory care because it is no wear near as nice as the rest of the place and expensive. We had been sold on the place because of the big rooms in assisted living and the promise of good care, but it turned into more of a nightmare. So glad my mom is at a new place

Housekeeping for residents is minimal, and staffing levels are variable. When Dad first moved in they didn't have a functioning bus for six months, and once they finally got it fixed it was three or four more months before they could hire a driver for it.

Memory care rooms are older, air conditioning had to be put on manually. My Dad was not capable of asking. Room temperature was very warm when afternoon sun came. I would have liked more communication with staff at move in. Had no knowledge of daily schedule/expectations. My Dad had end of life dementia. I expected staff to handle this. Hospice communicated symptoms more clearly. My Dad was at Carmel Village for only one month. This was the most difficult experience I've had since leaving my children at daycare for the first time. That was 38 years ago. Staff needs to be more compassionate about this experience.

It is a fairly good place, but if you have a loved one in memory care visit often. They did not have enough people to give the extra care. I had a tough call with the gal running the place. My mom was discharged from the hospital late and I called to advise them of this, but when she got to the home the emt took a reading of her oxygen level and since it was low and the home did not have any for her, she was taken back to the hospital. The staff did not advise me of this, so in the morning when I talked to the physical therapist to see what extra help my mom could get she called me back and said that my mom was not there. Talk about being upset...I had no idea where my mom was. The home health place helped and called me back to let me know that she was taken back to the hospital. If your loved one needs extra care it is advisable to pay for a caregiver to come in and help out. So I am not to impressed with WellQuest.

Well it's ownership changed hands, so they do things a little different than at first. It's not assisted living for seniors anymore. It's just straight senior citizen living. Now my dad needs to be back at home to have around the clock supervision. So we're in the process of moving him back to his house. My dad finally started being ok with being there but he was mad at first he didn't want to be there! Now we're trying to get him out of there and it's hard.

Everyone I interacted with at Russellville Park was great. I just thought that they would have checked on my friend more. I do think that they needed some improvements on their activities offered as well.

We toured the Remington Club during our search for an Assisted Living/Memory Care facility for our loved one. This facility was nice, but they did not have Memory Care. The cleanliness and friendliness seemed good.

Our loved ones apartment was not move-in clean at all. Very dirty toilet & shower was full of paint dust & calking remnants. Same in the kitchen. A [fee removed] "move-in" fee should pay for an immaculate apartment! Staff overall are excellent-professional, yet friendly & caring. Very impressed w/several young men that go above & beyond in their concern for my mother & her safety. My mother has her own caregiver but the Remington staff is friendly & has been helpful at times. Housekeepers are just adequate. Kitchen staff are friendly, courteous & helpful. Some meals are very good. Some are just ok. Tons of great activities, my mother is not taking advantage of them like she should. She does do the chair exercise & yoga once in awhile Once the remodel is complete it will be modernized & a very beautiful building! We love the location! Couldn't be better or more convenient for our family. My mothers apartment has brand new flooring & carpet in the bedroom. Living room & Bedroom are very nice sized! She's in Remington 2 which has been under major remodel since she moved in. Another great benefit at the Remington is that almost all apartments have their own little patio. My mother has a little dog & she really enjoys that! There has been some considerable inconvenience due to all the construction & demoing floors etc. I think the [fee removed] price is fairly reasonable but is reflective of this. The rent includes [fee removed] in dining which is really great!!

Our family had an in person tour with Sunrise of Fresno and it is a beautiful community, but the person we spoke with was a little to pushy for us.

We toured with WellQuest of Menifee Lakes and it felt more like a sales meeting. The Wellquest environment was sterile and expensive. Who cares about marble, chandeliers, high ceilings? Not me. Not my parents. It was not a good fit for us.

Overall it's been a good move for my parent. Not having their own home to worry about maintaining any longer has eased their stress. And I feel supported knowing that there are caregivers to check on my parent and help out when needed. However this facility has had a terrible turnover problem. It's been open only a year and they are on their third executive director and third activity director. My parent likes to get to know the staff so it's upsetting when they leave. Oakmont puts up a lavish activity list as a marketing tactic, but few of the activities actually happen. My parent has shown up at the appointed place and time and there was no Oakmont staff there--just an empty room with nothing happening. Also there has been poor follow-through when we have had a concern or complaint about the apartment. Many of the individual caregivers and staff are kind and friendly, which is wonderful. And there have been instances of inappropriate behavior-- a housekeeper logged herself into her own Netflix account on my parent's smart TV, while my parent was away from their apartment. And a male night caregiver attempted to grope several female residents in their beds, and was subsequently arrested. So the hiring and background check process could be better.

We have been here about 6 months now, they are changing ownership and going through a transition which is impacting all of ratings which were better 6 months ago. I do feel my mom is overall safe and in good hands as a registered nurse myself.

This community has been ok so far, we're still trying to give them a chance. The activities were better when my loved one first moved in, but they have decreased. It seems like the Director is there sometimes and then other times not so much. The food has changed. I would have rated it at a 5 before, but it seems to be higher in sodium than it used to be. The kitchen staff is nice and always pleasant. I have recommended this facility to family and friends. There was a flood recently and my loved one is misplaced, but we're hoping things improve soon. I know it takes time!

The cleanliness, medication management and variety of activities could be greatly improved. That's why I found another place for her. Truly the industry needs attention. It's common, apparently, to not give care as promised, poorly trained staff, crappy food etc for exorbitant rates. They should all be ashamed

They are short-staffed and transitioning in ownership/management. It really requires advocacy and persistence on my part. They do provide structure in terms of meals and weekly cleaning for my loved one. And it's a safe place.

We picked this community, because it was the only one with an opening at that time. They are average from what I have seen.

I toured this community and it was nice overall. It's a big facility and I didn't love the set up, but part of that is personal preference. We were looking for something smaller that felt more like home. Pricing is a lot higher than many of the others we looked at. It could be a great fit for someone looking for that kind of atmosphere, though.

I didn't care for the secure area for the memory care residents.

I was put off by how they run the facility. Rather than focusing on the patients, they were more concerned with running all over the place. It looked like they had spent an incredible amount of money on the facility, but the patients were left alone just staring off and not paid attention to. We wanted actively engaged care for our loved one, not just a flashy facility.
