November 15, 2023Thank you so much for your kind review of Almond Heights. We truly appreciate all your feedback--please feel free to speak with our executive director about any concerns you may have. We strive to make our home the best possible home for your loved one.
I would highly recommend Almond Heights Senior Living. The only thing I would change would be that it would have been nice if they could have offered to help move a few boxes in for us. Also, sometimes it seemed as though the care team wasn't sure what total care included. We paid a lot more for total care. Otherwise, the staff is considerate and patient.

September 1, 2023As one of our core principles, we embrace open communications. Thank you for yours! We appreciate hearing that our team members are providing you with such a wonderful experience. Thank you for your kind words about Almond Heights, we love having your loved one here!
My loved one is currently residing at Almond Heights Senior Living. They are not providing the care that we agreed on prior to moving my loved one in. They tried to raise her level of care as soon as she moved in, even though nothing had changed. They sent her to the hospital without letting me know until she was gone, and the hospital said there was no reason for her to have been sent there. I have been told that they won't give her anything that is not doctor prescribed, like vitamins or supplements, but the med techs say they do it all the time. Unorganized is not the correct word, but the head nurse and head caretaker seem to need to get on the same page with the staff. I was thinking about moving my loved one, but at her age, and her dementia is getting worse, I don't think she could handle that again.

This facility is great for those who are looking to stay active. The residents watch out for one another. They have daily exercise programs to keep the residents active. The caregivers check in multiple times (if required) and they care. The facility works with the family. The food is great. Very few times is there a meal that is not to my parents' liking. I would highly recommend this facility to family and friends.

June 22, 2023Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and sharing what a positive experience you and your parents are having at Almond Heights. As an MBK Senior Living community, we aim to provide the very best programming and service so that our residents can thrive, and their families have greater peace of mind. Judging by your comments, we're on the right track here.
Almond Height's dedicated team, compassion for our families situation and understanding has been incredible. Both my sister and I work in senior living and found ourselves needing to find another community for our mom after the community she chose wasn't working out (failed promises). Both of us always say it's just different when it's your own parent and that is the case with us! With all of us kids having crazy busy lives the team walked us through everything in order to do a really quick move. Her apt is bright, cheery & a perfect size for her! She has joined the book club & has made friends. The community is warm and welcoming, this coupled with the professionalism and kindness of the staff has provided immense comfort to both my mom and us kids. Thank you Almond Heights for going above and beyond! As an MBK employee, I can say with lots of experience that this organization has an ethos like no other! It feels so good to work with and for MBK Senior Living!

Almond Heights is my first experience with Senior Living. I have been Pleasantly Surprised by how warm and caring everyone on staff is. The Building and grounds are also very nice. The place is decorated nicely and it feels like a home not a facility.

June 16, 2023Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your positive experience at Almond Heights. We appreciate hearing how warm and caring you found our team -- and how beautiful you found our community. Thank you for visiting Almond Heights.
The first time I stepped into Almond Heights to get care for my 93 year-old mother, I got a good vibe from the place. The facility is clean and immaculate. The staff is more than friendly and very knowledgeable on handling their guests. The staff are also friendly to me when I visit my mom. My mom is in very trustable hands at Almond Heights.

I have been doing some exploring of the many Senior options in the Sacramento area. Someone on staff invited me to a Health and Fitness fair they had on site. The building looks newer and I was pleasantly surprised at how Homey the place felt. The information provided was very helpful. I was introduced to a lot of the staff and residents and everyone was up beat. I would feel safe having my Mother there. I made a short list for Mom and they are on it!

I toured Almond Heights for my Grandmother [name removed]. The place is really nice. I also felt very welcomed by the staff. I noticed they know all the residents names also. I loved the Fitness programs, and healthy food choices. Grandma is not ready to move just yet, but Almond Heights will be the place when she does!

Staff was very friendly and attentive upon arrival. However since moving in, they are very understaffed, causing follow through issues for promised services.

As an MBK Senior Living community, we're committed to providing high-quality services, compassionate care, and constant improvement. We will work daily to demonstrate that to you and regain your full trust.
We really liked Almond Heights. If it were closer, we probably would have picked it. The facility was fresh and new. The rooms were nice, and I really liked the room layout. It looked liked there was a variety of seniors living there, young to old.

It is a warm senior community. The care by the staff for my mom is very good. They are attentive and caring. The food is inviting and there are various activities for all interests. My mom really likes the connection with Divine Savior Catholic Church.

I have lived at Almond Heights assisted living for 14 months and have found it to be a comfortable place. The people on staff are quite good & caring, but not always enough of them (however that is the case in most places in todays market.) The food is acceptable with reasonable amounts of choices. The building is attractive and is kept in good condition. Since I'm quite elderly, and live alone, I would say it meets my needs and feels like home.

August 23, 2022"They love where they live." - That's music to our ears. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're thrilled to hear what a positive impact our MBK Cuisine, friendly team members, and compassionate caregivers have made on you. We are so happy to welcome you and your loved one to the Almond Heights family.
I moved in when it first opened . Since I have lived there, there was a storm that damaged my room. The food is cheaply made and too many spices (onions and garlic to be exact) in the food. They community calls it gourmets but it isn't. There are times I wouldn't eat what is being served and bring my own food. The carpets are dirty in my room, I need a new refrigerator, the lights in the apartment are going out, and maintenance is supposed to be there but they have gone through a lot of staff members. They want to move me to another room, but it is more expensive, and don't feel this is fair, all so they can update my room.

The meals themselves were not a fan favorite, they are very bland which medically there is a reason for that but our loved one just simply hated the meals. We did think the value for the money was good and we would recommend the Almond Heights community to others.

March 22, 2022Thank you for sharing your experience at Almond Heights. We're so pleased to hear that you find it a good value and would recommend the community to others!
My loved ones moved in when Covid was really bad. There was a care program with my loved one and it did not happen due to all of this. The communication between the departments and my loved one and us is not very good. My loved one passed shortly after moving in so we did not have very long at the community. They are not very organized.

We have a long-standing reputation for keeping residents and families well-informed, providing a comfortable, inviting, and service-oriented environment, and offering programs that keep residents engaged, connected, and happy.

If you would like to share more specifics about your experience, our Regional Director of Operations, Courtney, would be happy to speak with you. You can reach her at 949-242-1400. Thank you.
It's an okay community. I would most likely recommend another community to friends. The community isn't as informative as they could be. My loved ones felt like in the dark, and there wasn't a lot of explanation of the community and where to find things when they first moved in. I feel the staff aren't as attentive as they could be. My loved ones have waited at lengths for parts of their meals. The wait staff seems to ignore residents at times in the dining room. There have times the food has been cold, and the wait staff have offered to put it in the microwave to heat it up. The parking is horrible and not enough spaces for visitors and employees.
