Hello yelp reviewers, I seen this and thought to myself it's a good time to Input my experience as…read morean employee. I have worked here for about 3 months now and it has been such a great experience. The Residents and staff have been such sweethearts to me. The level of care and compassion is ideal for our loved ones to reside in. The type of care the residents receive is immaculate, from care providers to dinner. I don't think I have been anywhere else where the staff and management work so well to build a solid foundation for our elderly. There are also LVNS and Med Techs that help the residents thrive as well and overall have had an awesome experience with the wholesome care that has been provided. They also offer palliative care for those needing extra help. Another thing Worth mentioning is that they offer support groups and many activities as the elderly with degenerative diseases progress, their level of care also progresses and it's provided right next door at Villagio. Thank you Capriana for the amazing work. I hope to someday retire in a place like this.

My dad had to find a place to stay for short term respite and possibly long term. We evaluated on paper at least 7 different places, narrowed it down to 4 and then took my dad to tour 2-3. We ended up ditching the 3rd because he didn't want to tour another one. Brookdale was beautiful, as was the other place. The other place was maybe slightly bigger and more updated, but on an exterior level all seemed to be the same: both offered lots of activities, similar care, good food, etc. But Chuck and the residents made the difference. From the beginning Chuck impressed me by his warm demeanor and knowledge of every resident we passed by name. What put it over the top for me was that every resident was also warm and friendly, would introduce themselves, often without Chuck doing so first, and several invited my dad to join them because, as one said, "this is a happy place." The residents who we happened to pass genuinely seemed to be happy and there's no way Chuck could've planted them...they were just going into the dining hall for meals or leaving after our meal. Speaking of meals, the food was fantastic. And Chuck demonstrated a servant's heart the entire time, even serving us our food. The icing on the cake is that he bent over backwards to get a room furnished by the NEXT DAY so that my dad could move in as soon as possible. I am grateful to Chuck, excited for my dad to meet more residents, and hope to eat more of their food!!

If I could take care of myself after my stroke I would not be here.

I recently toured Villagio Memory Care and was truly impressed with the experience. From the moment…read moreI walked in, I noticed how clean and well-maintained the community was. The facility was fresh, welcoming, and completely free of any unpleasant odors. What stood out the most was seeing the residents actively engaged in a group activity. It was clear they were enjoying themselves, and I observed that every resident was being attended to with kindness, patience, and respect. The staff genuinely seemed to know and care about each individual. The Memory Care Director was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. She took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and demonstrated a genuine passion for providing exceptional care to residents and supporting their families. Overall, Villagio Memory Care exceeded my expectations. The combination of a caring team, engaged residents, a spotless environment, and knowledgeable leadership gave me great confidence in the quality of care they provide. I would highly recommend Villagio Memory Care to anyone looking for a safe, compassionate, and welcoming community for their loved one.

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. :)

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 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!
