Ok, if you're on Yelp looking at care facilities for your loved one, then please hear me out, I…read morehave lots to say! This is one of the hardest things you'll have to do that Vista Del Mar actually makes easy. Before I get into the details, the key names you need to know are Rebecca the Top organizer with a heart of Gold, Sidonia who does the intake and works insurance magic, Juanita who is the incredible eyes and ears and also facilitates memory care, Jenny, Jessica, Charmaine, Patrick the Events Coordinator and so many more. These are my new, additional family and I love them dearly! I anticipated the process as being uncomfortable and purely money oriented. First of all, they have their rates on their website unlike so many others. They have their fees listed too. No surprises. We don't need that during this time with our parents. So that was a welcomed and very important sign. I toured a bunch of places in Long Beach. When walking in, you can feel the vibe, the energy etc and once I walked into Vista Del Mar, right through those doors, I KNEW this was it. There was upbeat music playing, not all stuffy or silly stuff. I've seen places that tend to infantilize their residents and this music was straight up pumping! The residents were moving to it even in the foyer! Theres always a fresh flower arrangement and right when you walk in it's bright and you can see the beautiful outside courtyard. It has gazebos for shade, beautiful landscaping and access to the other parts of the facility. I can't even call it a facility even though it has 247 healthcare and workers. I guess I'd call it my dad and sisters apartment with new family and friends. In the short time my dad and sister have been there, they have a whole new family who care for them. In turn, this has freed up a lot of my time and worry to get my own life things done. I know they're safe, I know they have medical care and medication. But I also know they are mentally stimulated by the non-stop calendar of events every single day. Painting, field trips, socials, happy hours, trivia, bingo, movie parties with snacks! As I write this, I can do anything with my day off today and it feels GREAT. But I actually want to hang out over there today, haha. The dining room is absolutely gorgeous. You seat yourself or they assist, and it's like a restaurant. You can dine there too with them if you want! The lovely ladies who work the dining hall have so much patience. They bring the meals and make sure everyone is taken care of and is satisfied. They can also make other meals if you don't like what's being served on that day. They also accommodate special diets. They really pay attention and I'm so thankful for that! There's a snack shack off the main hallway, free laundry room with washer and dryer, a hair salon open 3x a week, 3 places to watch movies and tv, the theatre has beautiful luxury easy chairs, and is still close to watchful eyes of the staff. This place feels like Home. It actually feels more like home than when before my mom passed. It feels like Hope. I don't know what I did to be so lucky to have found Vista Del Mar. It's within budget and clean and happy feeling and bright and entertaining. I mean, this should be the STANDARD all care facilities should have! You know I could go on so if anyone reading has any questions, just message me and I'll be happy to answer honestly. So now, I'll get ready and head over to their luxury apartment as I call it and talk to them about what they've painted or crafted, which new friends they've met and get some fun chit chat going with the staff that never seems overworked or rushed. Finally, peace of mind has never felt so good!!!

My mother was recently moved to Memory Care at Vista Del Mar.

I have been toggling back and forth knowing this review needs to be done rather than not done…read more The one star was earned and you will read why. It all started as a referral thru a program called Mastercare. Glen Park was suggested to me. As I was searching for places my mother-in-law would thrive in or at least be safe in a memory care recieving 24 hour care as needed. I was my mother-in-laws sole caregiver and I was exhausted trying to provide 24 hour care alone. The thought that she would receive 24 hour care worked for me. I scheduled a tour with Wendy Wheeler for December 9, 2025 at 10am. I was sold on everything regarding the care my mother-in-law would recieve. I soon later felt I was lied to. I was showen a room with beautiful paint on the walls, everything looked new bathroom look bigger than mine at home I was wow beautiful room, nice beds. I figured that was a plus for my mother-in-law. I did a tour in the garden area, entertainment room where I was told that memory care can also be apart of. One of my big questions was how many residents are there in memory care? There was 9 residente at the time of my mother-in-laws move in date. How many caregivers are there in memory care? 4 caregivers I was told. My biggest concern was the distance. So I could visit often rather than not. I was excited she'd be 30 minutes or so away from me if she needed me which worked out perfectly. Moving forward All paperwork was taken care of and my mother-in-laws move in date was January 15, 2026. Glen Park of Long Beach picked Us up at 10 am using there transportation. Wendy Wheeler came with 2 others as they assisted me getting my mother-in-laws belongings within minutes. I rode with my mother-in-law so I could move her in and spend time with her before just leaving her there. Her and I had not been separated since 2019 I have been her full time caregiver. I felt horrible knowing I was transitioning her from home to a facility care. Wendy Wheeler soon disappeared once my mother-in-law was on the property of Glen Park of Long Beach. Wendy Wheeler never replied to my text she soon blew me off. I was disappointed and in shock. My mother-in-laws medication was not being administered. She went days without half of her meds. Even Tylenol for the arthritis pain. I kept asking and talking to GiGi the nurse who really could not tell me nothing but sorry! She's the only nurse. within days my mother-in-law was in the hospital. She complained of abdominal pain. She was sent back to facility from hospital results nothing was found. My mother-in-law was sent back to hospital this time she had an UTI and plaqued with arthritis she was in pain in her arms and legs. She was sent back to facility this time with a catheter. (I asked questions as to why did she have catheter no one knew nothing) durning the first visit to hospital my mother-in-law stopped walking stating she was in pain in legs and arms. She all of no where becsme imboile. As far as caregivers on the floor in memory care there was only one I was surprised if there was two caregivers. There were times no one was in memory care and I had to wait for someone to return so I could be let out. Caregivers were overwhelmed. They litterally said it. From the 15th of january my mother-in-law was in the hospital numerous times. February 6, 2026 was my mother-in-laws last day at facility. Facility sent her out due to bed wounds and horrible wounds on the back of her feet. My mother-in-law was left in bed for numerous hours without food without being changed. I needed help. I called my mother-in-laws care manager and asked her to visit my mother-in-law so she could see my concern. I needed help advocating her health. They allowed my mother-in-law to lay in bed without any of her ADL's being met, without being repositioned. Her heels were leaking. They looked horrible. I felt guilty for sending her there I've never seen neglect like that. February 28, 2026 I moved her belongings out. But noticed 3 new sets of pajamas was missing. I gave Wendy Wheeler a inventory list of each piece of clothing that I brought in. And at the end of the day. I couldn't have my mother-in-laws belongings back. There was no accountability. No one knew where her clothes were. I contacted the liscening department who could investigate photos were taken of my mother-in-laws condition. I'm thankful she is not there anymore. In less than a month of being at Glen Park of Long Beach my mother-in-law needed skilled nursing care to take care of wounds. My mother-in-laws wounds are at a stage 3 she will always need wound care the rest of her life. She is unable to be in a regular setting in memory care due to the care she will need due to Glen Park of Long Beach neglect.

I needed to weekend to prep my home and make calls for nursing care. In the meantime in the hospital the social worker connected me with Administration rep SAM who helped ease my worries and assured me my dad would be well cared for. The weekend my dad was there the nurses helped my dad with medication ,food and his bathing in bed. I was able to drop off clothing necessary and the nurses would take them back for me while visiting hours were over. The issues I ran into were: scheduling appointments were not communicated well amongst the staff. I came in a Saturday and the young receptionist as well as another young lady said I couldn't have had an appointment as I was not on the list. However I was just there Friday and they said I could come in the next day at a certain time. I won't spend much time on this as Sam helped fix this issue and I was very frustrated with these ladies, but given they only go by what their told I get it. Aside from that my dads needs were met.

I stayed at the Country Villa Bay Vista Healthcare facility from December 14, 2022 to January 14,…read more2023 for physical and occupational therapy following a fall down a flight of steps at my apartment complex that initially rendered me unable to stand and walk due to severe injuries to my knees and quadriceps (thankfully nothing was broken). When I arrived at BV around 10:30pm that first night (my transport from the hospital was very late in picking me up), the staff was very welcoming and helpful, which helped to ease some of my overall uncertainty being in a situation where just a few days prior I was mobile and living my life, to now being immobile and unsure of what was going to happen next (I'm 52 years young). The two CNAs who tended to me that night were soooo kind, caring, helpful, generous, and understanding, I started feeling more comfortable in my new environment and situation. And such was the care that I received overall during my stay at Bay Vista--the nursing care including the medication nurses, the physical and occupational therapists, the patient advocate and social worker, the activities director, the kitchen director, the administrator--everyone offered such wonderful and friendly care and service! And the housekeeping staff were great at keeping the facility and my room clean. During my time there I went from being unable to stand and walk to being able to do both (with walker and wheelchair support) thanks to the amazing occupational and physical therapists! They were so supportive and helpful (and such sweet individuals) and were the perfect team to build the foundation for my recovery journey (and I continue getting stronger at home). When I was having challenges with my insurance company, the patient advocate kept me updated and went to battle on my behalf so I could focus on my healing. She even took the time to comfort me during a particularly stressful experience I had with them. And huge props to the CNAs--the sheroes and heroes who do the actual day-to-day, moment-to-moment work of intimately caring for the patients--who were excellent. Admittedly some were better than others (like with any job), but they were all good, and many went that extra mile to ensure your comfort. I speak not only from the care I received, but the care I observed with my roommates as each of us had different levels of needed care. I could share many instances where the staff exhibited such care, professionalism, support, and generosity with us (including with some of the more demanding [and impatient] patients :-). And although I was happy to finally go home after my stay, leaving was a tad bittersweet *only* because I was going to miss those staff with whom I had developed relationships, especially my therapists. But I look forward to going back--just to visit and say hi to everyone after I have fully recovered! I would definitely recommend Bay Vista to those needing nursing and PT/OT care.

They do not have adequate staffing (2 caregivers per 35 residents "who need care") and relied regularly on agency caregivers (who didn't seem to have adequate training in caring for residents with dementia) even before COVID. It seemed like my parent's care plan was not being followed and I imagine it was because there were not enough staff members to do so. Some staff are wonderful and really care about the residents but others are mediocre at best. If your loved one has dementia, even if it is mild, look for a place with maximum 6 residents per caregiver that conduct dementia-specific training of their caregivers and do not regularly rely on agency caregivers.
