When I got home I noticed that ALL the fruit that was given to me was moldy and rotten. I had gotten bree cheese that was expired and most everything was expired for about 3 to 4 days already and there was a lot of sweets and candy....... not much to feed a family of 4 on. However 2 gallons of milk are still good for 7 more days. My Mother used to tell me beggars cant be choosy, but moldy/rotten food is like a slap in the face when your already feeling down and out.

They also do restorations and have to other static helicopters. Suggestion is to call ahead but they are normally open during the week.

I came with a 7 year old and a 3 year old and while it was great for the 7 year old, it was a little beyond the 3 year old, although she still enjoyed looking (and touching!). Wings and rotors is a non profit so that means no admittance fee, but there is a donation area to help with costs associated with running the museum. They also run stem workshops for kids 7 to 14. Definitely give wings and rotors a visit if you and/or your kids like planes and helicopters.

I first stopped in here to see what sports programs they have for my 4 year old. I came in after…read moreschool and it was pretty wild. Kids were all over the place and there was once "adult". She was busy on the phone and I had to wait for a few minutes just to get some info for sports. While waiting I was surprised by the kid's behavior. They were running around, cussing, and some were outside in the front unattended to. I don't know if this the normal for this place but I know that I would never in a million years sign my kids up for their after school program. I am signing my kids up for some sports programs but I will be there with them. Hopefully they are more organized then when I stopped in. I will definitely update my review after we do a program. BTW, they have a lot of really cool (hopefully) programs for kids of all ages. If baseball goes well I will definitely sign all the kids up for something.

Okay. My credentials first - I'm a licensed foster parent in the County of Los Angeles (inactive)…read morein a foster home (inactive), the adoptive parent of a child currently placed at Oak Grove under an IEP by LAUSD since October of 2018. Prior to that, my child was in a residential placement at Casa Pacifica in Camarillo until insurance decided a long-term residential placement was more appropriate. My choices were these guys or facilities in Utah, Texas or Florida. And I had to talk to admissions at Oak Grove before they would accept my kid for their program - glad they did! I despise medicating mental health issues as the primary modality. I was very clear on admission that any changes would have to be discussed and approved before they would go forward, and to date - nothing has been done at all as far as making changes. My kid has the new diagnosis for the DSM-V, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), which does not respond to medication. It has features in common with ADHD, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc. but is NOT any of those. Tends to be comorbid with autism, but not in my kid's case. My kid has been in therapy since he was 5. He is currently 13. He was placed with us at 3.5 years of age, and did not emotionally mature past that age - until now. We are finally seeing some progress and emotional maturity coming online - but I hate every part of the process. Kid has been in residential treatment for nine months. That's what it takes. Our hope is that he will be able to transition into a NPS by the end of the year, but we have no illusions. This does not prevent regression, adult drug abuse, adult mental illness, any of that. Coming to grips with the reality of a mentally compromised child takes maturity on the part of the parents. Anything less and you will be smacked in the face when the illness shows up again outside the facility - and it will. Most of the facilities that treat these kids have grief counseling as a primary push for the parents, and this is why. Yes, I am in constant contact with staff - they like it, I do too and my kid does better for it. I have hundreds of hours of parenting training, I've gotten hundreds more since the kid arrived. This is a good choice under an IEP, and if you need help getting a placement like this one and don't know how to ask for it, tap me. I'll be happy to help. It's a terrible education to have, but worst if nobody else benefits from it.

But my favorite thrift stores are the ones that feel like you're sifting through piles of junk -- that's where you find the treasures. So, this orderly and clean store was not exactly my cup of tea. But I'm giving it four stars because I'm pretty sure the majority of people will find their shopping experience here very satisfying. They sell lots of clothing here! Women's clothes, men's clothes, children's clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories and the like. There is also a small home goods section, with lots of knickknacks and frames and things like that. It's also very quiet in the store, which is nice. There's nothing worse than pawing through used clothes and having to listen to Peter Gabriel blasting over the speakers.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not just as guests, but as people in need of a safe, supportive space to breathe and regroup. The team at Jacob's House extended kindness that felt so genuine--it was as though they wrapped our family in a warm hug during a very heavy time. The home itself is peaceful and thoughtfully maintained, with every detail clearly designed to bring a sense of calm to families like ours. But beyond the physical comforts, what meant the most was the human kindness. The staff checked in on us, offered encouraging words, and created a space where we didn't feel so alone in our grief and uncertainty. It's rare to find a place that truly lives out its mission, but Jacob's House does just that. Their presence made a heartbreaking chapter in our lives just a little bit lighter, and we will always carry gratitude for the compassion they showed us. If you or a loved one are ever in need of a place to stay during a medical emergency in Temecula, know that Jacob's House is a sanctuary--one filled with heart, understanding, and hope.
