Yours Truly

Staff seemed inconvenienced and rude to visitors. One staff member “vented” outside to a licensed therapist there to provide services for my husband. Loud music one Sunday to the point where the caregiver on duty could not hear the doorbell. This is an Alzheimer’s/Dementia licensed home. Their license should be pulled for sheer disregard and unprofessional conduct.

can't say enough good things about the managers and staff here; they and the residents are wonderful caring people. I moved here14 months ago with my wife who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. I was 85 and she was 80. I was able to be her caregiver in a nice 1 bedroom apartment for 12 months with minimal staff assistance and we both enjoyed 3 meals a day in the dining room, a wide choice of age-appropriate activities, and the ambience of an older resort hotel... not a sterile institutional setting like most of the licensed Residential Community For the Elderly that I had investigated. Just 8 weeks ago she qualified for Hospice Care here in a Memory Care room. She received excellent care there for the last two months of her life and I was able to visit her whenever I wanted to. She died 10 days ago. I plan to stay in our apartment and continue to enjoy this lifestyle for as long as I can.

My mother spent the last three and a half years at the Carlucci home and We could not have died for a better place. I recommend them without hesitation. Friendly and compassionate staff.

My mom has been a resident of LaVida for a few years. During Covid last year when everything shut down the Director addressed the issues very clearly and according to CDC and state guidelines and kept us informed via phone and mail messages. The caregivers and all the staff have been amazing prior and during Covid. When we could only see mom through the window the caregivers and staff were fantastic in answering all of our questions and concerns. I really appreciate the loving care mom receives. All staff should receive 5 stars!

I moved my mom to Meridian at Laguna Hills, and I think they are awesome with their 24-hour service. It is luxury senior living. It has got everything that someone would need. They have a restaurant, a pool, and 24-hour care. They have nursing facilities and they have housekeeping. They have everything. My mom does not like the food. It is just healthy food, and they are not going to over season it. It's a place where they have long term living, so she is not gonna get high sodium or greasy food. For me the food is very good. They have daily activities every kind of activity. It depends on the month. They have fitness coaches and dance classes. They have hiking groups, theater, and live music. They even take you to a casino once in a month and offer transportation for nearby places.
