Actually: 3 1/2 stars. There are many things to admire about Bellara. Alas, there are also some…read moreweak spots. In the good column: design. The rooms have have ceiling with high windows. The apartment kitchen is full, though whoever thought putting the freezer on top of the fridge should be relegated to a lifetime of stooping to find things. PUblic spaces are well designed too, espcially the main foyer. And for now at least the price is relatively good. Staff is very friendly and helps whenever possible. (A special shout-out to Facility Manager Art Blancas.) A major flaw is the food. You pay for it whether you eat it or not. The few times we tried it meats were vastly overcooked and tasteless. (Salads are good.) So we buy our own food and cook it.

This review is long overdue. My father moved into Bellara in February and has been there for 3…read moremonths now. He had health issues that required extra supervision. Originally, he was at a different facility which was nice but above our budget. After touring Bellara with a friend who was also looking for care for her mother, we decided on Bellara. It is a beautiful facility, with spacious rooms, a lot of activities, impressive meals and caring staff. The initial meetings with Dominic Ong are what sealed the deal. He was a great listener, helped us problem solve, listened to our needs and was transparent on pricing and ways we could potentially save. He did not sell us any gimmicks and was very sincere. My dad loves his room, the spacious bathroom and independence. We are very grateful to Dominic and the staff at Bellara.

I liked Baywood Court the best because there is no expensive buy-in and the monthly rent is reasonable. From number 16 on the waiting list I was able to move in at mid-February. I have a one-bedroom apartment of 600 square feet facing the pool. It's between two exits so it's very convenient for my dog to go out for his business. Plus there is a half-mile trail inside the facility for his daily walk. I enjoy going through the Rose Garden and the Gazebo along many beautiful flowers and plants. Living at Baywood is like living in a hotel or a cruise ship. There is 24/7 lighting and air conditioning/heat throughout the building. I get weekly house-cleaning, change of bed linens and towels. I just leave my garbage at the door and all the packages I ordered are delivered to me . The two meals a day can be stretched to three because of the many options I can choose. In the one year I have been here, I have not cooked one meal for myself. No more driving to the gym. I just walk down the hall to my Tai Chi, Chair Yoga, and Zumba classes. We also have lots of performance by outside artists and regular health and informational meetings. Just this week we had Martini Monday, Coffee Social, and Tequila Thursday. You can play pool, jigsaw puzzles, Mahjong and many table games at the Game Room. There are also daily drive to shopping and regular visit to museums and scenic areas. Baywwod also has many group activities such as Sunday mass, Thursday Bible study, grief sharing, Spanish class, arts and crafts, movie and sports night, etc. I joined the Knit Wits to make projects for charity. I am the inventory manager and also volunteer as a cashier for our general store called The Cubby. The staff at every Department here are friendly and efficient. I love the community of other residents. The management does such a good job that I was pleasantly surprised when our rent did not go up for this year. I am so glad God provided me Baywood Court where I can live out the rest of my years feeling safe and secure.

(For context, a year ago my mother was at a different facility that I would definitely not consider again, plus I have toured several other places, talked to many people, and done lots of research.) Baywood SNF has the highest five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The nurses and doctors are amazing. Dedicated, knowledgeable, compassionate and always available to help my dad or answer our questions. I received regular updates in-person or over the phone. And importantly, they were always well-staffed and attentive - staffing ratios are important for patient care and to avoid staff burnout. Baywood is also clean and new, with beautiful landscaped grounds and good food. For a challenging time in our lives, I had such peace of mind that my dad was in good hands and well-taken care. I imagine we might need a skilled nursing facility again and I will only consider Baywood Court.

Compared to many other places we visited, their service charges are more reasonable--and the best part is that they include more services without adding extra fees. The rent is also more affordable, making it a smart choice for families who want excellent care without the high price tag. We had the pleasure of touring the facility with RJ, the marketing director, who has been working at Landmark Villa for 15 years. Despite her long tenure, she remains genuinely passionate about her work. She took the time to walk us through the entire community, explain every detail clearly, and answer all of our questions with patience and care. Although we ultimately chose another community due to the longer distance from my home, I still feel Landmark Villa would have been a great fit for my mom. If you're looking for a warm, well-managed, and affordable place for your loved one, I highly recommend visiting Landmark Villa as part of your decision-making process.

Thanks in large part to their quality care and supportive environment, she was ultimately able to return home and resume independent living.

I try to do the best for Mom, but it's really hard. Thank God for St. Regis & the dedicated staff that works there 24/7. They care for all the residents & their families. I know, if I have a problem, they will work with me to help solve it. Anyone who is dealing with Alzheimer's knows that there are always problems. I am grateful for all St. Regis does to keep her well cared for & safe. Without the help, guidance, & counsel of Shabbir Chinikamwala, Administrator, & Nisha, Supervisor, this would be a nightmare. They are are always gracious & calm. I don't know how they do it. I know that the women at the front desk are always cheerful & helpful.

Christina from the Assisted Living North wing always has a smile on her face & a gives me a warm hug whenever I see her. The staff in the Memory wing has a difficult job to do. They are caring & helpful. Maria helps Mom with puzzles. I don't know all their names but I thank them all for all they do to take care of Mom. This is a big operation. Many hands are at work here to ensure the smooth operation of St. Regis. I would be remiss not to mention & thank the maintenance men & the kitchen cooks & waitresses. Thank you all for all you do & have done in the past to make Mom's life as pleasant as possible. Laura It is now February 2020. Mom passed in December 2019. St. Regis is the reason I am not in a mental institution! Alzheimer's is a horrible disease. I watched her slowly shrink until there was mere skin & bones in the bed. She still smiled & told me she loved me. I think she said that to everybody but that's ok. She was pleasant, kind of happy & sweet which is a positive memory for me. I know the staff at St. Regis was the reason her last months were good or as good as possible in this situation. They provided for all her needs with respect & love. Words cannot express my gratitude for their constant support & guidance. Laura

The missing star is related only to the size of some of the shared rooms. Not unusual. My elderly family member with quite advanced dementia has been here for over two years. I have visited at least once weekly, and at different times. I've had the opportunity to observe the staff both with him and with other residents.

By pure chance I found this wonderful care home. The process of finding a care home for my elderly…read moremother was filled with confusion, fear and frustration, along with the reality of the cost. I knew I wanted a small facility so that my mom would get individualized care. The owner, Jackie, was immensely helpful with the process. When I needed proof that my mother did not have TB, Jackie suggested going to urgent care to have a chest x-ray, even sending someone to go with me to help handle my mother so that I could have her admitted that day. In fact, Jackie sends someone to go with me to every doctors appointment since I cannot carry my mom in and out of the car to get her in the wheelchair. The first day they asked for a list of her food likes and dislikes, and tailor her meals to what she feels like eating. They take care of laundry, food, etc. without the nickel & dime extra costs that most other facilities charge. They have large TVs for every room with many streaming options (Disney, Netflix, sports channels, etc.) and were MUCH cheaper than the other facilities I looked into. On holidays and special occasions, Jackie orders a boatload of food for visitors to enjoy while they spend time with loved ones, and has even out of her own pocket bought things for the residents. My mother has received outfits, socks, blankets, Christmas gifts, etc. just because Jackie loves spoiling the residents! She has a very good heart and honestly cares for everyone treating them like family. The staff are attentive and very caring, also treating everyone like family. My mother loves the hugs she gets and feels very loved. That is the best thing about this home - my mother does NOT want to leave this place!

From day one, the caregivers and the owner, Jackie, went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and treated with genuine kindness. The home itself is always spotless -- I've never once seen a bit of clutter or trash on the floor. Every visit, the beds were neatly made, and the atmosphere felt calm, organized, and welcoming. One thing I truly appreciated was that visits never required a heads-up -- a reflection of their confidence in maintaining consistently excellent care. The caregivers, especially Rhyle, are compassionate and attentive. They follow each resident's individual routines with care, and a calm and friendly manner. Jackie, the owner, is deeply invested in the well-being of every resident. She's transparent, honest, and clearly motivated by compassion rather than profit -- a refreshing change after our experience with another facility that raised prices without reason. I wholeheartedly recommend this home to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and genuinely caring environment for their loved one.
