The Regency Palms has been a godsend in finding an ideal assisted living environment for both my…read moreparents. I had to scramble to find a quality care environment in the midst of the pandemic, but the Regency's preventive and response measures under such fluid circumstances have been highly effective. It's a reflection of their management approach and tireless commitment to quality service and care. The facility is clean and well-maintained with a boutique hotel vibe. Meriza, the Wellness Director, has been attentive to my parents care needs from day 1, keeping me apprised of any significant health changes. Aileen the Life Enrichment Director keeps the residents engaged in invaluable group activities to keep minds and bodies active. Chef Kristine and her staff do a wonderful job preparing 3 quality meals a day and catering regular special events for residents to enjoy. Tony in charge of Maintenance has been an upbeat Mr. Fixit also overseeing laundry and housekeeping services. Business Office Manager Davina ensures billing is accurate and my parents residency remains in good standing. And Carla, the Executive Director, ties everything together with an open ear, timely communications and a seemingly never ending work schedule. Yet it's the hardworking front line staff like Caregiver Lupe and Med Tech Mary that keep the Regency such a comforting environment for residents and their families. My parents acclimation to the Regency Palms had its challenges as is unavoidable when transitioning from independent living to assisted, but their physical, mental and emotional health has dramatically improved since relocating 8 months ago. Caregiving is not a trade for the weak of heart. But to deliver such good service in a time when good workers have never been more difficult to find is a testament to the quality people who choose to work at the Regency Palms and those who lead them.

My brother moved to Villa Redondo Care Assisted Living Facility 3 months ago and I am so glad we…read morefound this place for him. It has been such a positive living experience for him and a pleasure to visit for me. I live close by so I visit almost daily. It is so comfortable here. The Staff are very friendly, skilled and experienced. I am very pleased with everyone that I met there. The Staff really care and are always willing to go the extra mile to help the residents in any way they can. Villa Redondo is a very clean Facility and very well maintained with 24 hour security and 24 hour staff. The residents are also very friendly and look out for their fellow residents always willing to help each other. Villa Redondo Staff are top notch, very friendly, highly skilled caring people who are experts in their fields. If anything needs to be done, the staff is always on top of it. Meds are always given on time and residents are always respected. The residents I've met here are happy to be there because they're treated so well. The food is good and there are plenty of group activities throughout each day. There's a weekly group walk to the beach which is 3 blocks away. It is such a blessing to have my brother here as he has made great improvements since being here. I highly recommend Villa Redondo to anyone in need of a high quality Assistant Living Facility. Thank you Villa Redondo Care, Stephen Delacroix

OMG!!!! This place is a mess! Visited a friend several times.... The smell will hit you when you…read morewalk in. The resident are not well cared for. Most of them look lost unkept and not clean. They have an elevator that could possibly fit two small wheelchairs so if there were a fire, how would they get the residence out of there? most of the time when I'm gone, they were eating sandwiches for dinner.. I have an old dingy activity room, but I've never seen any activities. The nurses have big time attitude don't ever ask them to do anything they would disappear in a heartbeat. The alarm was going off one day while I was there and there was no one at the front desk to stop the alarm or call the fire department of the police department. Nothing nobody.!!! the newest sweethearts they have work in there. Oh my God where did you get them project housing or just hood rats!! no personalities they have no concept of kindness or being concerned about any of the residence. Please don't leave your family member here. Please do not unless you're planning to be there to see them every day. These people are truly neglected. I know that it's assisted living, but what does assist mean doesn't it mean help haven't seen that happen yet. Care should be nowhere near the description of this place ! Leaks in the ceiling carpet gross. this is something you'd have to see for yourself ! Lord, where is the health department? Where is an ombudsman ? Where is there a social worker? Somebody has got to see these things that are going on there a blind person could see it is so obvious. The place is done right dingy.

Having spent my entire career as a law enforcement officer specializing as an elder abuse…read moredetective, I was EXTREMELY selective when choosing where my mom would live as her dementia began to worsen. Choosing an assisted living or a memory care community for a loved one requires careful consideration, so when looking for an exceptional facility, I took many things into consideration, and Crofton Manor checked EVERY box! The key aspects that stand out for me at Crofton Manor are: 1. Longevity and attentiveness of staff: A community with staff who have been there for a long time often indicates strong management and a stable, experienced care team. This is true at Crofton Manor. Everyone from the administrative team (Administrator (Amalia), Marketing/LVN (Claudia), on-site Social worker (Cheryl) and all the caregivers, facilities employees, and kitchen staff (and everyone in between)... are all amazing, professional, and have worked here for many years. The consistency of care provided by familiar faces is incredibly comforting and speaks volumes about the community's management and work environment. There is very low turnover in staff, and they are genuinely friendly and approachable. Their attentiveness to the residents' needs and well-being is beyond reproach! The staff makes a genuine effort to engage with residents, learning their preferences and ensuring their needs are met promptly and with dignity. This personalized approach is a major differentiating factor. 2. Safety protocols: This facility has robust safety measures which is paramount in a care setting. This includes secure environments, clear emergency procedures and safety protocols. The community maintains a secure environment without feeling restrictive, and I have complete peace of mind knowing my mother is safe. 3. Cleanliness: Crofton has a consistently clean and well-maintained facility. The health and comfort of the residents is clearly a priority to management and staff. I have never once noticed any foul odor in the facility, and my mother has lived here for almost two years. My siblings and I visit unannounced (at different times/days) at least 3 days per week, and our mom is always groomed, well-dressed and happy. 4. Phenomenal nursing staff: The nurses at Crofton Manor are extraordinary and highly skilled. They are compassionate and responsive, and they manage my mother's healthcare needs efficiently; always communicating with me proactively about any changes or concerns; often being contacted by a nurse for even the smallest of concerns. They do not take the care of their residents lightly, and have never once taken a "shortcut" when it comes to healthcare concerns. They are extremely competent, which is vital for providing appropriate medical care and responding to health needs. 5. Social worker support: Having a dedicated social worker on staff is incredibly beneficial (Cheryl is a rockstar and truly cares!). She has assisted us with navigating resources, providing emotional support to our family, and helped us with the adjustments of community living. Her expertise has made the transition smoother and less stressful. 6. Friendly atmosphere: We are always met with welcoming and friendly staff members. I have never walked into the facility to see folks simply sitting around in wheelchairs unattended. There are always activities for the residents to be involved in, and the place is decorated for EVERY holiday, bringing a special warmth to Crofton Manor. The environment created by both staff and residents contributes significantly to a positive environment. In summary, the qualities I have pointed out above (along with many others) assisted us in choosing Crofton Manor as a safe, supportive, and caring environment for our mom. We have found an exceptional assisted living/memory care community for her at Crofton Manor, which was a decision I made with great scrutiny. The facility has exceeded my high standards, providing an environment that I trust implicitly. I highly recommend Crofton Manor to anyone seeking top-tier care for their loved ones.

It was a very emotional experience…read morefor the entire family but all of our questions and concerns were addressed by the awesome Administrative staff, Sidonia and Juanita. When my mother and I arrived to the unit, we were welcomed by such a warm and attentive team who immediately assured me that my mom was in loving hands.

Thank you to all the staff at Vista Del Mar.

Ok, if you're on Yelp looking at care facilities for your loved one, then please hear me out, I…read morehave lots to say! This is one of the hardest things you'll have to do that Vista Del Mar actually makes easy. Before I get into the details, the key names you need to know are Rebecca the Top organizer with a heart of Gold, Sidonia who does the intake and works insurance magic, Juanita who is the incredible eyes and ears and also facilitates memory care, Jenny, Jessica, Charmaine, Patrick the Events Coordinator and so many more. These are my new, additional family and I love them dearly! I anticipated the process as being uncomfortable and purely money oriented. First of all, they have their rates on their website unlike so many others. They have their fees listed too. No surprises. We don't need that during this time with our parents. So that was a welcomed and very important sign. I toured a bunch of places in Long Beach. When walking in, you can feel the vibe, the energy etc and once I walked into Vista Del Mar, right through those doors, I KNEW this was it. There was upbeat music playing, not all stuffy or silly stuff. I've seen places that tend to infantilize their residents and this music was straight up pumping! The residents were moving to it even in the foyer! Theres always a fresh flower arrangement and right when you walk in it's bright and you can see the beautiful outside courtyard. It has gazebos for shade, beautiful landscaping and access to the other parts of the facility. I can't even call it a facility even though it has 247 healthcare and workers. I guess I'd call it my dad and sisters apartment with new family and friends. In the short time my dad and sister have been there, they have a whole new family who care for them. In turn, this has freed up a lot of my time and worry to get my own life things done. I know they're safe, I know they have medical care and medication. But I also know they are mentally stimulated by the non-stop calendar of events every single day. Painting, field trips, socials, happy hours, trivia, bingo, movie parties with snacks! As I write this, I can do anything with my day off today and it feels GREAT. But I actually want to hang out over there today, haha. The dining room is absolutely gorgeous. You seat yourself or they assist, and it's like a restaurant. You can dine there too with them if you want! The lovely ladies who work the dining hall have so much patience. They bring the meals and make sure everyone is taken care of and is satisfied. They can also make other meals if you don't like what's being served on that day. They also accommodate special diets. They really pay attention and I'm so thankful for that! There's a snack shack off the main hallway, free laundry room with washer and dryer, a hair salon open 3x a week, 3 places to watch movies and tv, the theatre has beautiful luxury easy chairs, and is still close to watchful eyes of the staff. This place feels like Home. It actually feels more like home than when before my mom passed. It feels like Hope. I don't know what I did to be so lucky to have found Vista Del Mar. It's within budget and clean and happy feeling and bright and entertaining. I mean, this should be the STANDARD all care facilities should have! You know I could go on so if anyone reading has any questions, just message me and I'll be happy to answer honestly. So now, I'll get ready and head over to their luxury apartment as I call it and talk to them about what they've painted or crafted, which new friends they've met and get some fun chit chat going with the staff that never seems overworked or rushed. Finally, peace of mind has never felt so good!!!

The license for this current location is 198320283. You will also want to check their old license from the Vernon address that was previously used. That license number is 198601936. When checking the old license go to the report. Go to complaints and choose the date of 1/19/24. You can read the entire report. The Unsubstantiated Claims show up first. If you scroll down to the Substantiated Claims you will see what the State substantiated. Keep in mind the substantiated are there because there were outside witnesses. The unsubstantiated is because no resident is going to tell the truth about what really goes on, understandably, they have to live there. Beware of the owner Jose Umana and the Administrator Elsa Roman. They come off very professionally and compassionated. They really don't care about anything but your money. Jose has 5 or 6 of these residences and they know all the tricks of not reporting what goes on.
