Brookdale Anaheim
3.1

The community provided compassionate care with medications and patience when she called them often when she wasn't feeling well. Housekeeping did a great job keeping her room clean and picked up. Laundry services excellent. Receptionists were always very friendly. Sales department very nice and extremely flexible with move in and move out dates.

Huntington Terrace in Huntington Beach, CA
4.4

The staff is 100%!!!!!!! A resident needs to be a part of the facility (engaging in the activities), it makes life more pleasant. There are always room for improvements, I think they could improve on the night crew. I would definitely recommend Huntington Terrace to others, I visited 8 different facilities before I chose them!!

My dad's only been there about a month and a half. Overall, I'd have to say a four out of five. There were a lot of factors taken into account: location, convenience. I am very happy with their helpfulness and their ability to answer questions Their patients, including my father, are somewhat far along as far as mental decline so activities aren't really an option anyway.
