CAREGIVING: It has…read morebeen nearly one year since my parents moved to Oakmont, during which I have gained a deeper understanding of the vital contributions made by caregivers and med-tech personnel to both my parents' well-being and my own peace of mind. The Director of Health Services, the Resident Care Coordinator, along with the caregiving and med-tech teams, consistently display outstanding professionalism, and I truly value their dedicated, round-the-clock care for my parents. The significance of their work became especially clear when my mother fell in their apartment soon after their arrival at Oakmont of Fullerton. I'm thankful that her emergency alert necklace allowed for a swift response and appreciate how effectively the team coordinated with paramedics and kept me informed. CONCIERGE: Since my first visit, the concierge staff have consistently shown professionalism, offering sincere greetings. They welcome residents, families, and medical professionals, while also ensuring that residents with cognitive impairments stay safely within the facility unless accompanied by authorized personnel or relatives. CULINARY: Oakmont of Fullerton recently appointed a new executive chef who demonstrates a thorough commitment to meeting residents' dietary needs. Since the new executive chef became part of the team, both the amount and quality of food have improved. I would like to see premium cuts of meat added to the menu, along with baked potatoes as an additional side choice. There have been instances where hot meals were served cold as a result of delays, including food remaining under heat lamps, on back counters, or not being picked up promptly by waitstaff. Enhanced communication between culinary and waitstaff personnel is recommended to address this issue. WAITSTAFF: Although the waitstaff manage numerous tasks, enhancing follow-up service is advisable. Staff should periodically return to check on residents, ensuring all needs are addressed. Furthermore, tables should be promptly cleaned and reset after guests have completed their meals and left the dining area. Removing soiled tablecloths prior to seating new guests would be beneficial. Employing a dedicated staff member responsible for cleaning and resetting tables may improve overall efficiency, allowing waitstaff to concentrate on attending to residents and guests. Waitstaff can further elevate the experience by greeting residents courteously and showing genuine enthusiasm in their roles.

Our experience with Sunny Crest Senior Living has been very positive, and we're grateful for the…read morecare and support our family member has received there. What stands out to us is that the care goes beyond the normal day-to-day. When our family member was hospitalized, we reached out to the Sunny Crest team for help communicating with the medical team. Brenda partnered with us and was willing to speak with the care providers and skilled nursing staff to better understand what would be needed for our family member's recovery and how Sunny Crest could support the post-care plan when they returned. Having them work with us and the medical team during that process meant a lot to our family and gave us peace of mind. One of the things that really touched us was seeing how genuinely happy everyone was when our family member returned. From the front desk and nursing staff to management and the restaurant staff, everyone seemed genuinely excited to see them and welcomed them back. It really felt like they were returning to a community where people knew them and cared about them. We also believe family involvement is an important part of assisted living. Sunny Crest is an assisted living community, not a hospital, a locked-down facility, or a memory care unit. Family members still have an important role to play by staying involved, advocating for their loved ones, and maintaining communication with the care team. We've found that Sunny Crest is willing to work with us as partners, and that makes a big difference. We appreciate the people at Sunny Crest who care for our family member and the way they support both our loved one and our family. We're very thankful to the entire team, Melanie, Brenda, Diana, Blanca, and so many more.

This last stay was her 2nd time. Both were for orthopedic issues/fracture and they were amazing at making her as comfortable as possible. Park Vista goes above and beyond regular care. You can tell the people there do their job with care and concern. Things run smooth and they always seem to be at least one step ahead as to what we needed. German, a caregiver was fantastic. The physical therapy dept. was so flexible and made sure things went smoothly. Bianca in Social Services was always on top with help and resources with amazing communication. That can't be said about many places these days. There are many others, I can't remember their names. But everyone is gentle and caring and I wouldn't want my mom anywhere else.

My parents moved into their 2 BR/2BA apartment in June 2024. Since then, my husband and I have…read morespent 18+ nights in one of their guest rooms each year. I'm thrilled to report that Morningside continues to meet, and very often exceeds, our very high expectations. Here are a few tips/learnings since my 2025 update. Tip #1 - My parents have a Kaiser Medical Advantage Plan. I learned recently there are some nuances to their medical coverage at Morningside's onsite Skilled Nursing facility as well as Park Vista. We've opted to keep my parents enrolled in Kaiser because they've had the same PCPs for over 25 years. Be sure you understand the potential financial ramifications if you're a Kaiser patient. Tip #2 - Do yourself a favor and ask to work with Monica Silva in the Marketing Department. She'll guide you every step of the way. She also remains an invaluable resource long after you enter Morningside as a new resident. Now on to my 2026 update as my parents start year 3 at Morningside. Over the past year, both parents have experienced minor medical emergencies necessitating EMT visits to their home. Living in NorCal, it's very reassuring to know that a quick call to the front gate and/or simply knocking off the phone receiver in either bathroom results in an immediate visit from one of Morningside's 24/7 EMTs. Several of their EMTs are current medical students. While the food selection/quality has declined a tad bit over the years, it's still very good, and Morningside's waitstaff are beyond kind and patient. My parents enjoy the entire F&B team, and they especially adore Victor and twins Liz and Melissa because they cater to their every needs. When the guest room experienced an unexpected maintenance issue on the day we were scheduled to arrive, Olga called me that morning and arranged our stay at a nearby hotel at Morningside's expense. She also provided us with breakfast coupons for the duration of our 3-night stay since our hotel room didn't include breakfast. There was a recent situation that prompted me to reach out to Sal in Housekeeping. Since I was onsite, I asked Sal for an in-person meeting and Sal arranged for us to meet the very next day. He also invited Morningside's Executive Director (Chris Oakeson) to our meeting because it involved a sensitive staffing issue. After listing to my concerns, Sal and Chris promptly addressed the issue to my full satisfaction. I could go on and on, suffice it to say my parents are absolutely thrilled to live at Morningside. My mother who has difficulty making friends is thriving in her new community. These are my father's actual words when I asked him how he liked living there, "You know, I lay in bed some days asking myself if I deserve to be so happy and live such a carefree life in this beautiful place!" I think that says it all. :)

Through recent renovations, they have created a beautiful and warm environment for the residents.

Aria makes sure that all rooms, clothing and bedding are cleaned regularly. My mom enjoys the freshly made meals that are cooked on the premises by the staff. Well planned meals are served three times a day. They make sure my mother receives food tailored to her health needs. Another big plus is that my mom is part of the Providence-St. Jude Health system.

It's a shame that this beautiful facility is being led by a director that is not compassionate or…read moreable to politely interact with residents, their families and in some cases even her employees. My personal experience: We placed my mom at Fullerton Gardens after a positive interaction with the person in charge of recruiting families (not the director). I researched and found that former residents had a positive experience here. We were very transparent with my mom's behavior and the extent of her Alzheimer's. The recruiter and director responded positively and said the behaviors we describe are all part of the disease. This includes wandering, taking things that belonged to others and denying medication. We were 100% transparent! Unfortunately within 2 weeks my mom was sent to the ER in hopes of a psych evaluation. After 2 trips to the ER and a 51/50 I find out that they are diligently trying to get her heavily medicated. This facility recommended that we use their medical contacts because that's how they get the patients medicated to their liking. My mom's psychiatrist told us "the director of that facility is asking me to give her some strong medication"! My mom left that facility with 5 medications. 4 more than what she started with. Every time we visited, we witnessed residents trying to exit the main building to go outside to their secure garden (one of their selling points). However, they were always redirected to go back inside. Not once did I see a resident roaming the garden. My guess is they don't have enough staff to have someone outside or they simply didn't want to go outside. In any case, don't be fooled by their beautiful grounds. Incontinence was an issue (never was before she was at Fullerton Gardens). Especially after the heavy medications. Apparently my mom was smearing her feces. It wasn't until we placed my mom in a more competent facility that we learned that they were probably not checking her diaper often enough. I confidently say this because at her new facility she has NEVER had an issue. This facility has issues because it is being run by a bitter, unfriendly, harsh woman-Sheryl McCaskil. She can put on a smile when you first meet her but it won't be long before her true colors show. Especially if you're not with anyone else. I tried to have an ombudsman with me whenever we met but it wasn't possible every time. Our few encounters that were just the two of us left me with my jaw on the floor. Just rude and immature. I can go on and on but it's not worth the stress it's bringing me back right now. When I tried to speak to a board member I quickly learned that wasn't going anywhere. Mostly Caucasian males...definitely not interested in the wellbeing of their residents. After finding the right placement for my mom I look back at her time here and my heart breaks for the residents that are still there. Please consider another place for your loved one if you're thinking about this facility. Don't be blinded by their beautiful grounds and fancy fliers My family and I went back and forth between lawyering up or not but we concluded that our energy is best spent finding a new place for my mom and making sure she's happy at her new facility. So far so good!

During the past several months while my sister has lived with you, we have heard so much uplifting…read moremusic. My sister has always loved music and she sang in the church choir. I was always proud to stand next to her in front of God when she sang Ave Maria. She is an Angel. The music we hear in the main living room is mostly 1950s. Even though I was born in the sixties, my sister was born in the forties. I know all the songs. Saturday, she will move on to the next phase of her life and the next phase of her dementia. Maybe she will arrange flowers with Vinnie for the dining room while we prepare her few remaining belongings for the journey. Her room at the new place will be smaller so she won't be taking her furniture. I'll keep it for her because it's a special wood her late husband loved. On that last day at Silverado, I hope she will take the exercise class. It's so crucial for mobility and, thank God, she is still able to stand and walk on her own. When I think of all the trips she took with Silverado, it makes me smile. I saw adorable photos of Mr. G. photobombing my sister at some farm. I adore the photo of my sister at a pool on one of the outings. Her face reflected a really good time. I have been so honored to meet many men and women who cannot live alone, but are living a reasonably dignified life with their situations. I met a woman who is so beautiful that she makes me wonder what her life must have been like once upon a time. Now, she, like so many, loves candy. I call her Candy and it's obvious her family really loves her. My sister has attended so many social functions. The last one was a luau and that Hawaiian buffet and Hawaiian dancers were something really grand. You could see that everybody enjoyed it in their own way. Well, one way my sister communicated with the world before Alzheimer's stole her words was with a silver flute. It's on a table in her room at Silverado, but she doesn't play it anymore. I'd like to ask a favor. I'll be keeping her busy while my nieces pack her things on Saturday. Perhaps you could play some flute music on her final day as a bon voyage. I know that you have all had her best interests at heart this past year. Thank you to all for each assist, kind word, medicine, redirect, class, game, meal, field trip, hair style, clothes change and prayer. If you knew how many sick children she willed to stay alive with her infinite love, as a nurse, you would know the work you do really matters. She really matters and thank you for all you have done for her.
