We initially moved mom in a nearby senior community which was horrible experience and after only 2 months, we realized we had to move mom again. So stressful for all of us. But once we moved her to OAKMONT Whittier, my mother thrived! She bloomed, she had joy again and her spirit sparkled. Everyone was welcoming and friendly staff members, and residents. The food is absolutely delicious. Mom felt spoiled. She enjoyed the many activities and appreciated that she was able to share ideas for movies and activities to try. My sister and I were so relieved that mom was well cared for. We had good communication between us and the staff caring for mom. We had no worries. Such a blessing. Mom has since passed unexpectedly and I must share that my sister and I miss visiting. We loved all the kindness and support of staff members Anabel, Kimberly, Lindsay the chef and servers and so many others.

My aunt, who is an avid reader, absolutely loves participating in the book club and has really found her place here. She had a few particular requests when moving in, including bringing along her cat and the Oakmont team went above and beyond to accommodate her. The dining room is elegant and inviting, and we always enjoy a delicious lunch with my aunt here. On days when our whole family is able to visit, we sometimes go to the many restaurant options nearby, all within walking distance. Oakmont has given our aunt a comfortable, engaging environment where she's happy and cared for and that brings us such peace of mind as a family.

I've waited a long time to write this review, and since Mom passed away a year ago, I feel it's…read moretime. When it was no longer safe for Mom at home, I found a place for her at Emeritus at Casa Whittier in late 2012. At age 89, she had mobility issues and mild cognitive impairment. I liked the cleanliness of the facility and the friendliness of the staff and the residents. Mom adjusted well and seemed quite satisfied. She even put on some weight because she enjoyed the food so much. Unfortunately, was also change of ownership during Mom's stay (to Brookedale) that caused some serious problems. Example: A new policy was instated that provided for no more than two caregivers per shift. For a 60 apartment residence, that's just not enough. Mom had several bad falls--including one that required 8 stitches to close a scalp laceration. Other residents reported waiting an hour to get assistance to the bathroom, which explained the increase in falls. Tip: If you're looking for placement for a loved one, be sure to ask about staffing levels and talk to the residents. They can often give you a truer picture of daily events. Unfortunately, Mom declined physically and cognitively following a hospitalization and subsequent return to Emeritus. Her decline would have happened anywhere, but the mixed messages that I received from the staff during that time made a stressful series of events even worse. I visited daily, and I'd hear from one person that I should start looking for a board and care facility, and literally the next day I'd hear from someone else that, no, it was their job to help Mom readjust. Then on the third day another call would come and I'd be told that yeah, she had to go. I soon found a board and care facility that better suited Mom's needs and moved her out in June 2014. The new facility had a maximum of 6 residents and a minimum of two 24/7 caregivers. She received better care, was happy and safe, and it was actually less expensive than Emeritus. Tip #2: If a loved one needs care, take the time to learn about what assisted living does and does not provide and decide if that's the setting that will best suit their needs. It looks like Emeritus at Casa Whittier is now known as Whittier Glen, so perhaps there's been another change of ownership and things have improved. I hope so.

I've been meaning to write this review for awhile now. My Aunt who is a senior, she's 80 yrs old,…read morehas been living here for a little over a year. In just that time alone I have seen her personality blossom from being somewhat quiet, shy, cautious even a bit defensive into a VERY happy, social and funny, even dare I say... sassy gal! I will FOREVER be grateful for the Staff here. Each one of them has helped guide us both and I truly cannot recommend this facility high enough, I wish there were 100 Stars! From the start, Sharon Crowe, helped explain senior living, independent & assisted and that they provide both. She helped me and our family understand how to communicate with my Aunt who was initially hesitant on moving because she's not comfortable with change. Well, not may are and that's ok. So we went at a comfortable pace and started gathering information since her Dr. recommended she live in an independent facility and not alone in a condo anymore for her well being all around. What worked for my Aunt was testing out the facility on a respite stay. We didn't even know that was an option. My husband and I had to go out of the country for business and we were extremely concerned about my Aunt who at the time was still living alone in a condo. Sharon suggested a respite stay as a vacation for my Aunt ( they have a room available for this to rent out) where she could experience living there within the community and enjoy all the perks which include 3 meals a day in their nice dining room, tons of different activities every single day, housekeeping, laundry and most important for her and us was that she was in a safe place where if anything happened she'd be ok and we would be immediately notified. Whew, what a weight off our shoulders. THAT was the beginning, the way we eased her into living there. During her respite "vacation" stay she got to know all the staff which was key because becoming familiar and starting to feel safe made a huge impact. Also not having to do chores like cooking or housekeeping or laundry really made her happy! So after we returned from our trip and we discussed moving to a facility like this, there wasn't even a hesitation for my Aunt to state she wanted to stay and live there because there were no unknowns. AND it has only gotten better. She gravitated to the Staff first but slowly has become social and friendly with everyone and now knows every resident and even likes to help new residents learn to play games in the activity room, ( her favorite place!) In fact, when I call her, I try not to during "Bingo" or "game time" because she's busy having FUN! I could go on and on and on and on....really I could! There are so many awesome features including its a smaller community only 60 rooms so it feels more like a family but what I really want to express is that this is the first time in MY life, ( I'm almost 50 years old) that I have ever seen my Aunt this happy. She feels safe and is having FUN! That's what I want for her for the rest of her life and its what I hope to have later on for my husband and myself when we may need to find a home that suits our needs better as seniors. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to Tonya Reynolds, Gail Blessum, Michael Alonzo, Sharon Crowe, Juli Sanchez, Jerry Saenz, Jorge Casillas, Betsy, Turan and the entire staff. Thank you for helping us, help my Aunt find the perfect home to enjoy her golden years with respect and dignity and I'll say it again FUN!

As an independent insurance Agent who regularly works with a variety of assisted-living…read morecommunities, I can confidently say that Park Regency retirement stands out for all the right reasons. Over the past 15 years I've had the privilege of working closely with their team and witnessing the high standard of care they provide to their residents. What impresses me most is their consistent professionalism and attention to detail. The staff is always responsive, organized, and proactive when it comes to handling insurance-related matters--making the process smooth not just for vendors like myself, but most importantly, for the residents and their families. Beyond the administrative side, it's clear that the environment at Park Regency retirement, is one built on compassion and respect. Every time I'm on-site, I see smiling faces, meaningful interactions, and a real sense of community. It's obvious that the residents are well cared for--not just physically, but emotionally and socially as well. They're a fantastic partner and an even better resource for families seeking quality assisted-living options.

A family member of mine looked at a few assisted living communities before deciding on Park…read moreRegency. A big part of it was the marketer who was not only helpful and communicative, but also enthusiastic about the building and the care staff. She helped them navigate various aspects of relocating our loved one, the pros and cons of different senior living communities and really highlighted the quality care provided by her staff. What ultimately sold us on this community was the memory care. We decided that it would be best to choose a community that had assisted living and memory care in one building so, if the time ever came, it would be a smoother transition should that level of care be needed. Although the building is a bit older, it is well taken care of and has a beautiful courtyard for residents and families to enjoy. I highly recommend taking a tour if you're considering assisted living homes for your loved one!

ALL the staff there were so nice and caring and did their jobs so professionally. The level of comfort care they showed my mom, helped me and my family knowing that if we were not there that the visiting angels (especially Reina) were caring for her, brought us so much peace at a very emotional time. This company is truly of the highest quality in their professionalism, knowledge, procedures, and most of all, their KINDNESS to my mom and to my family. Thank You so much for all you do. With Gratitude, Christian.

The facility is spacious, pretty clean, and inviting. Two cages each housing 2 parakeets, and a…read morewell maintained fish tank can be found in the lobby. Free coffee and fruit water is available for guests and residents, which is located in front of the dining room. My family and I have toured this facility a couple of times and each time the staff members were friendly and accommodating answering all of my fathers questions. This location offers studio, and one/two bedroom apartments located on one of four floors. The one/two bedroom living areas (these were the only available open options at the time we were looking) were well maintained, clean, and came with a full sized refrigerator (think apartment size), an electric stove, sink, and counter (most had the option of having chairs placed there so you would be able to sit and eat). The closets were walk-in style with a descent sized area. Located in the apartment are two emergency pull cords - residents are suppose to use these when help is needed, and also every morning between a certain time to alert the staff of their presence (otherwise they will come check on you). Each floor had their own laundry area - equipped with two washers/dryers, iron, ironing board, and laundry detergent. There is no charge (it is included with your monthly rent) and you can wash as much laundry as you would like. Each room had a thermostat so residents were able to adjust to their liking. I enjoyed seeing the variety of activities offered to the residents. Each day there seemed to be somewhere they would offer residents to go - market, mall, doctor appointments; mostly local places. They have monthly birthday celebrations, themed events (we attended their luau), happy hour friday, games, and exercise activities. Located behind/beneath the facility are residential parking spaces. The parking area is not gated, but it is in their future plan. Animals are allowed so we saw a few dogs with their owners walking in the courtyard. We did not notice an odd stench while touring, nor did we see animal waste anywhere visible. Another thing to note was that you can visit at anytime. That's great for me because I attend school and work, so I would most likely be visiting at odd hours. After a certain hour the front doors are locked, but you can call to have them open it for you. Guests and residents are suppose to sign in/out when coming or going. Most of the time it was more on the quieter side. Once one of the residents was playing the organ or piano which was nice. Someone local was also selling their homegrown plants - nicely grown, well maintained, and priced very reasonably (if I had time and space I would have purchased some). The reason for the four-star review is because we were misinformed about some information we were given. However it was clarified on the next visit we had. Also we were under the impression we would be able to sign the contract, have the evaluation, and be able to tour the rooms over the weekend. We were only able to have the evaluation and room tours, while needing to come back to sign the contract. I shall update this as time passes. I am hoping my father will enjoy his time while there.

When asked when it would be completed........excuse, excuse, excuse This is just one of many, many examples of how this understaffed, inadequate and poorly managed this facility is. I would love to move them to another facility but I hear poor recommendations on many of the other facilities. It seems that this entire industry has issues. And let's not even begin to discuss what they charge! Insane !

Once when it was close to the end of a meal time they were telling my parents that they were closing so that they would have to eat fast. When I arrived they changed their tune but suggested that we take our meal to go so that they could close. The head nurse was the worst. I don't believe that she evaluated my parents correctly and consequentially they didn't get the care that they needed. When I tried to communicate that we were willing to do or pay whatever we needed to in order to get them the extra care that they needed I got the run around. There were situations that I don't even want to discuss here because it makes me so mad. Some of the staff were actually nice and caring and quite a few had mentioned that they did not like the former head nurse. From what I understand she left shortly after I moved my parents out of that place. I think another assisted living corporation eventually bought this place but I don't know if it's any different. From what I understand the management has changed hands quite often in the last few years.
