Every one of them looked happy, healthy and fully engaged. They chatted happily about the lifestyle there, and were justifiably proud of their art, some of which boarders on museum quality, and all of which was expertly done! We got a tour of the property, and oh, my gosh! It is gorgeous. Well kept, clean Mediterranean style design. The amenities were many and varied from restaurants to a gym, from a residents' garden to clean, spacious, well equipped common spaces. There is also a facility tram, much like a combination community bus and taxi, which can be hailed on demand from convenient stops throughout the community. We noticed some negative Yelp reviews for short term convalescent care and we asked about it. Apparently some short term patients come expecting hospital level care for which The Terraces is not equipped. Understandable from our perspective. In general, this community of seniors is a wonderful facility. All of the staff we met were caring and friendly, and all of the residents we met seemed wholly satisfied. If this is a service you're researching, we highly recommend including this facility on your considerations.

As soon as we met Traci, the Memory Care Director, we knew our search was done and that we found a place where our dad would be in excellent hands and cared for like family. Reuben was incredible as well and made the onboarding process so smooth during an already difficult time. When we shared how important it was to have our dad moved before the holidays, their team went above and beyond to make it happen. Every visit since, they take the time to check in on us and give us updates on how he's doing. It means so much to see how genuinely they get to know not only my dad, but all of us. There's such a feeling of kindness and investment in every interaction. Memory care isn't easy, and we know this journey only gets harder, but we feel so much comfort knowing that Traci and her team will be there to walk alongside us through it all. We are deeply grateful for the compassion, communication, and care they show every single day. Paintbrush deserves every one of these five stars.

I wish I could give Westmont of Fresno a higher rating, but unfortunately I had a very…read moredisappointing experience. The two stars are solely for the facility itself. The building is beautiful, very well maintained, and clearly cared for with attention to detail. The grounds are lovely, and their memory care unit offers a generous amount of space for residents. If my review were based on appearance alone, it would be five stars. However, that is where my compliments end. We have been searching for a memory care facility for my father, and with his discharge from a skilled nursing facility approaching, we were feeling the pressure to secure a placement. My first visit to Westmont was discouraging. No one was available to give a tour, and the front desk staff was extremely unfriendly. I was told that tours only happen on weekdays between 9am-5pm and that "most people take the day off work" to do them. When I asked for a pamphlet or business card, they had nothing to give me. On our second visit, midday on a Thursday, we again encountered unprofessional front desk staff. Two receptionists were chatting, and one was practically laying across the counter, barely acknowledging me. They seemed annoyed that I needed help. Again, the person responsible for tours was not there despite it being within the hours they had previously insisted on. The maintenance director ultimately met with us, and while that was unexpected, he was great, very kind, informative, and gave a great tour. The memory care unit itself looked well-kept, so we decided to move forward. I spoke with their Community Relations Director, completed paperwork, and provided our credit card for the refundable $500 deposit to reserve a spot. We were told there were two spots available and four families trying to secure them, so we pushed hard to get everything done quickly. The skilled nursing facility's social services manager moved mountains to complete the necessary documentation within days, and Westmont even came out to do the care assessment. And then...nothing. No updates, returned calls, or responses to emails. Eventually, the social services manager was told that Westmont would not be accepting my father. She requested a reevaluation because the notes did not match his diagnosis, suggesting there had been a mix-up, but Westmont ignored her as well. I made MULTIPLE attempts to contact their Community Relations Director and never received a single reply. Not even a courtesy call after taking our deposit (which they stated was refundable, but no one communicated the process for that either). Regardless of the reason, whether the spot went to someone else or they determined he wasn't a fit, the professional and compassionate thing to do would have been to communicate that directly to us. Being ignored after we completed all the steps they asked of us was incredibly unprofessional and disheartening. For a facility of this size, I truly hope this was an isolated incident. This experience made it very clear that Westmont is not a place I could ever trust with my father's care. That said, I believe things worked out exactly as they were meant to. The next place we toured was Paintbrush Assisted Living and Memory Care, and it has been the perfect home for my father. Their Community Relations Director, Reuben, was warm and helpful from the start, and their Memory Care Director, Traci, is an absolute angel. They treat us like family, and I feel my father is in the best hands.

It has been necessary to hide phone number to get them to answer. The care team has a high turnover rate and some are not properly trained and behave unprofessionally. They are not licensed to administer a simple blood pressure reading or test a patient's insulin levels. The facility is very beautiful and clean and there are staff who are very kind and knowledgeable but improvement is needed. This review is not intended to reflect that all staff need to improve but to advise newcomers to address some of these issues prior to making your decision to place your loved one in the facility. I am more than willing to update my review when improvements are made.
