Westmont Living

My Loved one moved there in December 2022. We moved her in August 2023. What we were promised at move in quickly went awry. Over those 8 months, there were 3 executive directors. You could NEVER speak to any of them. The staff turnover was a 24/7 revolving door, so when you tried to get ahold of any of THEM, you also never got a return call because there was someone new in the position. The dining options were horrid. Options were subpar in quality/nutrition. Every time you went to visit it was like a ghost town. No residents out of their apartments. So quiet. Our sister was miserable saying how boring it was there. No nice area to hang outside for fresh air. Only a couple of plastic chairs next to a makeshift ashtray for smokers. Lastly, they did not keep the room clean. We had to complain many times that it was like someone just walked in and waved their hand thinking that they had cleaned.

Young man [name removed] has a nasty attitude in the front office. I would not refer anyones grandparents to stay here. This is a place where you should be friendly not lazy and rude. It’s very unpleasant and unprofessional

I was very disappointed in the care my mom received. She fell a couple of times and laid in her room for up to an hour each time. They would only come in to give her meds. Never to just check on her. One night when I was there when she got her dinner, in her room, all she got was corn in all three compartments of her container - she could not eat corn at all. My mom had all her faculties. She did use a walker.

We were put out of this facility 2 days after we moved my father in. The nurse who did the pre assessment did not do a good job as they found that my father had opened wounds (which I knew nothing about but his wife did) and removed him from the facility. I am an RN and find this to be poor assessment skills on their nurse to say he was eligible when he was not!!!

If there was a 0 rating, I would put that for all 7. We did not have a good experience there. We ended up moving my loved one after a few days. I would tell others to be very clear on move-in expectations. Understand their process and INSIST on having things in place b4 your loved one is moved in. Show up at unexpected times to check on conditions.

The overall experience was horrible. They are constantly losing staff and hiring new. We have no words to express when it comes to the quality of care. It's horrifying the errors they have made over and over with medications and nurse pendant calls taking over 3 hours on two occasions to respond to an emergency call. 50 minutes on average to respond on other occasions. Several calls to Ombudsman regarding this situation. The meals and dining service was very good, but the activities receive a low score because of the understaffing - activities were very rare. I would hate to see another family member experience what we have. Do not recommend Westmont!

My husband was in the memory care unit. We hired a 12 hour a day companion for him because we could not be there with him 8 hours a day. The companion called us at 1:00 pm to tell us he found him unresponsive and curled up. The staff never checked on him. We called paramedics--he had suffered a heart attack and had a 104 Covid fever. They told us he had been vaccinated but when we checked records he had not been vaccinated. Had it not been for the companion he probably would have died by the I got there after work. The staff there do not check on residents in the memory care unit. I do not recommend Westmont.

The room and board price is decent. However, their system of care points at an average of $1.05 per minute to the tune of $5000 extra dollars a month is not an acceptable plan. And they would raise the care points without our family's approval.

My husband and I moved to Westmont Village a year and a half ago. It was a beautiful community. It is not that anymore. The grounds are extremely overgrown. Management is impossible to reach. You leave voicemails/emails which are usually ignored. When you do get someone, the pat answer is "I'll look into it". Then you are ignored again. I feel this is disrespectful bordering on arrogance. Our oven, toilet and leak needed to be repaired when we moved in. It took over a year to get the oven fixed and over 18 months to get a new toilet installed. (It was finally installed 3 days after I sent an email stating California law requires plumbing issues to be fixed within 30 days). The new toilet doesn't work properly. Management is aware of this and they will not respond. Leak has never been repaired nor has a broken stucco wall. Between all these problems and internet/ TV service being a disaster (outlined in other reviews), Westmont Village has become a very stressful place to call home.

I require high-speed internet and enjoy the selection that Spectrum offered. We were told there would be another better internet and TV provider soon. Now, 2 years later, we find out the truth. As the facility began filling up, Spectrum was on site daily fixing issues with the aging infrastructure. I had them out 3 times, but after that I was extremely pleased with the service. 450Mbps internet, 2 DVRs and plenty of channels to choose from. Here's what I had and what they migrated to: Speed: from 450Mbps to 6Mbps if your lucky. Wifi: My own router with full strength throughout the house, to a hotel access point that covers one room. Devices: Unlimited on my own router to EIGHT. I have 30 devices! TV: Whatever Spectrum Package I wanted to pay for with 2 DVRs to a basic package with 90 channels and none of our favorites, no option to upgrade or add channels, and some kind of cloud DVR we don't even have access to.

When we first walked in, it looked great. Then they took us off to the side where they have the dementia patients, and they were just sitting in chairs like they were drugged. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

Be sure to ask what the current activities are before you move in. They do offer them, but the things they offer are just not for me. They have a program called Life Loop that shows all the activities for the day. At this time, there is no broadband internet availability in this zip code with any of the providers that I've contacted. And they're not able to accommodate dietary requests.

We had to place our mom in March 2021. [name removed] the Executive Director was a great comfort in this transition, however management has changed hands and there was a big turnover in the memory care unit that is concerning. Poorly organized. Laundry is missing, and most the time my mom has only 1 pair of pants in her closet. I see more new residents in memory but no new caregivers. Caregivers in memory care need more help. I'm in the process of looking elsewhere. Sad because it seems it's all about profit. Our elderly deserve better!!

My Father was put here because he didn’t want to impose on living with us. This place was close by our house. He did not want to join in on the activities, he is a private person. They hounded him every day to join in . He just didn’t want to. Well if he ever did want to , they charge to get him to go down there. He decided that a assistant living place wasn’t for him. So after his 30 days he was going to live with us. We got his final bill. They over charge him 3,500.00. So as his daughter I fought for him. They had things like they dressed him, my fathers never needed that. And the list went on. They would never return my calls : Finally when they did they still wouldn’t adjust the bill. So I called the state in .and their corporate office down south. Told them I taking them to court. We received his refunded $3500.00 It’s all about the money with Westmont Brentwood. .DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVED ONE HERE! If you do “ CHECK THE MONTHLY BILL”

In the beginning our experience was fine but they went through a management change and everything went downhill. Due to the covid restrictions the residents were confined in their rooms and the activities were shut down. We felt our loved ones car was neglected and she was not receiving the proper medicine.

Some of the staff were great and some were no so great. Resident's medication needs were not priority. Some of the staff told my mother that they weren't there to provide those kind of services. The food was good and they offered a variety. We chose this community because a couple years ago I visited this place and the people seemed friendly and nice, the location was close to my home, and I was at this point familiar with it. I would not recommend this community if you needed a higher level of care because they were unable to provide the care that my mother needed. You almost need a lawyer to get through their legal department.

Don't be fooled by going in and touring, they put on a good show, when in reality, they treat memory care residents like second class citizens. We were told that the resident would be included in activities but they were not. My mom's health declined because of the poor care and the community would accept accountability for it.

Moving out of westmont assisted living After bladder surgery my husband was in the hospital for 39 days Westmont sent a nurse to the hospital to verify that he was strong enough to return to his apartment at westmont Part of the assessment was to have him count backwards from a 100 by 7s The nurse would not allow his wife to be in the room while she did the assessment or they would refuse him return to his apartment at westmont The doctors also called and talked to Westmont that he had no restrictions and could do what he had done before Westmont would not allow him back As we were moving from the facility were were harassed so much we had to call the police They are upset because of the reviews on yelp They are upset that people are hearing the truth about how residents are treated This is not a good place to live

Horrible place to live My husband was injured on the job in 2014 Workers compensation sent him here because of the care required from him We are in our 40s We were told by the new director [name removed] that I am no longer allowed to stay with my husband We are currently looking for an apartment that has a roll in shower however she barged in our room today demanding that I leave I am not leaving my husband You are no longer allowed to take food from the dining room to your room They offer services to other residents but are not allowed to give my husband the Same services They have changed the date and time for cleaning our room and never inform us of the changes Yet he is charged 7k a month My husband is supposed to have a caregiver with him for the whole time he is in the shower Just in case he falls This is an additional charge yet they still leave him unattended because they only have 2 people on call and they get written up if they don't respond in 5 minutes Every time he asks for help they state they have to review his plan to see if they can charge more I have heard them say the same thing to other residents that are on a fixed income They get so scared of being charged more they just stop asking for help

My 99 yo father had been living at LSL for about two years. In that time, I've seen a steady decline in memory care to the point I finally decided to move him to a different facility. He had several falls onto hard concrete floors and had been neglected in an unheated room where I found him hypothermic and shivering uncontrollably. I had placed a walker and wheelchair in his room but I recently discovered they had been placed in storage or used by the staff in the common area. I believe not having them in his room where I put them when he moved there this contributed to his falls There have been other complaints about LSL's negligence and had I know this would not have subjected him to that experience.
