The Belmont team took great care of our mother. The last 14 months of her life were spent in…read moreBelmont's memory care. They provided wonderful assistance and kind care for our mother. It is comforting to know that she was so well cared for her last year of life. Our Belmont experience started off in such a positive way. The team was outstanding about helping us get mother settled from the West Coast in an emergency situation. They even loaned us furniture for her apartment until her things arrived. Once we were at Belmont memory care, the considerations continued. Mother had unique California natural food preferences and the Kitchen team was super about filling her requests for salads and salmon and vegetables. She loved the food! We cannot thank the memory care team enough. Our mother lived most of her life independently and alone. The memory care activities every day kept her involved. We saw her thrive having people around her and she lost much of her previous fear/anxiety. My heart smiles when I remember the loving hugs that the memory care assistants gave mom. She'd hold her arms up and they would hug her and tell her she was loved. It was beautiful. Her health situation changed as she became prone to falls and broke her hip. The Belmont nursing staff knew how to handle the situation. Many facilities do not want someone who has both dementia and significant physical limitations. The Belmont team and the nursing staff welcomed her back from rehab with open arms. We will always be grateful to them. Speaking medically, the Belmonts in-house doctor - Dr. Randy Villanueva - was the perfect doctor for us. His medical skills, experience with seniors and his compassionate heart are an amazing combination. He is a gift to his patients and their families. We miss our mother immensely, but it is comforting to know that Belmont made her last year the best it could be. The gift of care and kindness was a priceless one.

The staff was amazing! Very kind and attentive to my dad. The PT/ST team were phenomenal, they…read morehelped rehab him and provided much needed socialization, kindness, and reminders. The facility was clean. I do think it is overpriced based on the amenities. I have two concerns which is why I rated the facility overall 1/5 stars. 1. The food was not good. Often there were only cold lunchmeat sandwiches and they seemed to run out of food at times. He was paying for the food and it was less than mediocre. 2. When it was time for him to move out, he gave the expected notice. Because he was moving out before the end of a month, I spoke with them about reimbursing him for the last days of the month. Over the course of TWO months, I spoke with the interim director at least 4 times regarding his reimbursement and left countless voicemails. He kept promising to call me back and NEVER did. I even called the parent company, which was Tarantino at the time. I left 3 voicemails requesting to be contacted regarding the reimbursement. No one has ever contacted me. I feel like they robbed him.

This has thus far been the best experience for my grandmother and I!! My siblings and I have been…read moresearching for a long time for someone to care for our grandmother how we would care for her. I was so grateful to have this company's service that I couldn't resist leaving a review. During the time that we received this company's service Ms.Ballard was very kind and prepared. She was very consistent and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that my grandmother had everything she needed throughout the day. She even took her to every doctors appointment which we were thankful for. She handled her with so much care as she communicated with us . Her communication was on point. Anytime We asked for extra services she was able to include it in our contract. Overtime it began to feel like she was family. Ms.Ballard even volunteered to help us prep meals on holidays and make the holidays feel special to our grandmother with her ability to decorate. She would sit and talk to our grandmother for hours so that she wouldn't have to feel alone. As far as her daily tasks she was always earlier than expected and completed tasks before we asked her to. Her professionalism was amazing. Ms.Ballard never made negative comments. She was always so kind and nurturing. After our grandmother passed we thanked Ms.Ballard for her services and we created a card with our family names. She really made an impact on my grandmother's life. If you want your family to be treated with the care that you would give them I think you should choose this company!

His mind was obviously quite focused on the questions he wanted to ask and he stopped me when I tried to interrupt. We either got around to my questions or I was able to add those to the end of our discussion. Dr. Wright carefully went over his findings and why he came to certain conclusions. He then offered a range of treatment options, explaining each in depth. Reviews caused me great concern before I met Dr. Wright. I should not have worried. When I respectfully let him do his job and use the mind and experience I had hired, everything went smoothly. He was generous with his time and proactive about immediately finding MRI results that were supposed to be in my file but were not. Highly highly recommend!

\My grandmother is and always has been my hero, so it makes sense that I want the absolute best…read morecare and love she deserves. It only took a month for my family to realize that Carriage Court was not going to provide the level of support and kindness that should accompany a memory care facility. The staff was always rude...every time I visited, they would tell me how "bad" my grandma behaved. The area designated for memory care patients was dark and shut off from everything around it, much like a psych ward...I would come in and my grandma would be pacing up and down the only hall in the entire facility. Activities were few and far between; staff seemed to be more interested in their phones than interacting with the people they are there to help. She was rarely showered and dressed appropriately. Personal items were not cared for (for example, we got my grandmother a life-like (and fairly expensive!) cat toy because it gives her a sense of calm. One day my family and I came in and the staff had actually taken the cat out of her room and was playing around with it --quite roughly-- with the other residents while my grandma was hiding in her room). Her new glasses went missing, and staff acted like it was a major hassle for them to look for them (needless to say, the glasses were never located). We could not have been more disappointed with Carriage Court and are very thankful to have found a much more suitable home for my wonderful grandmother elsewhere. (Note: This review was posted on their Facebook page, only to be deleted within 12 hours. I suppose they only want comments that make them look far better than the rating they deserve.)

Unfortunately, my mother was placed here by siblings in 2011. The experience could not have been…read moreless pleasant. Rude staff, with allegations of abuse that were never completely sorted out. The place is merely ordinary in appearance, but severely unclean at times. Literally, it has been a recurring nightmare ever since then. Really deserves a minus rating. Avoid it!
