Las VIllas Del Norte
The people that work there are kindhearted & care about the residents. The new resident onboarding process required us to continuously ask questions to learn about typical processes, timing of meals, laundry, daily activities, etc. It would be great if they could provide a new resident packet that explains everything so that we don't have to keep interrupting people while they are working to learn about these things. While the contract we signed included a lot of information at a high level it doesn't explain how to navigate moving in & daily life.

Peace of Mind
Our very first visit was warm and welcoming. We toured and talked with staff. They were great with the residents and everyone was very engaging. We chose this facility for our aunt and she is thriving in mind care. They're taking great care of her, as well as keeping open communication with our family. I would recommend Las Villas Del Norte, they truly care about people! Many thanks for the awesome care and compassion!

Overall would recommend
I feel I made an excellent choice. Having been in the nursing profession for 40 years, I understand that not everyone can be pleased, but all staff make an effort to care for their residents. Once I moved in the administration checked in to facilitate anything I needed to make a new home. Staff does acknowledge residents in the halls and smiles.

Good spot for a respite stay
The facility is spacious, with an open feel and has a nice garden with citrus trees. The residents are friendly.
It was difficult to coordinate with the nursing staff to make informed decisions in medication management, and the food tended to be standard American diner fare and could include more healthy fresh options

Great quality of care
I must say that after complaining they seem to be focused on making my mom happy there so if you had asked me last month I would have given a 1
To all questions so they are improving !!
We do keep mom there because of the quality of care she receives!
She is an insulin dependent diabetic that needs her injections given to her so that limits our options significantly!!
Praying all scores will be at 4 soon
I suppose the only comment I would have is if they have the same need as my mom as far as meds and that's the main possible reason for having them in assisted living facility as we do the care is really good!
And if they have encountered any kind of situation there, they should not hesitate to speak up about it because they quite frankly work with you to change anything to make your loved ones stay with them a positive experience experience they don't mind the family being involved they like that as a matter of fact matter of fact and also appreciate the knowledge that we have given them about certain situations that we were not happy about! And they weren't aware of..

very disappointed, lack of care
Villa Del Norte was not a good match for us... Assisted Living is just that - someone who needs assistance! [name removed] rarely saw anybody unless she rang her buzzer… And the caregivers took a long time to come and help her. They brought her lunch for example and just left it on the counter rather than opening it up for her. She was unable to get out of her bed to go to the counter to get her lunch, and her hands were unable to open many of the items that were on the tray! Too many bad experiences for us and [name removed]! It was more of a senior living facility.

This facility will promise you the moon and won’t deliver. Told us of the improvements to be made and didn’t have them ready on arrival date. The care is lacking I think because they are short staffed. I think they could do better

Las Villas Del Norte Review
Admin staff was non responsive to problems or issues.
Mom's room had leaks during the rains. It took them weeks to address then tore out a wall. Dry wall dust was everywhere and never cleaned up. She ended up with mold on furniture due to the moisture.
Administrator laughed when I told her that residents were resorting to putting water on their cereal after multiple days with no milk. Food was horrendous, dry, over salted and often ran out of basic staples.
They were always short on staff and resorted to pulling care givers to assist with meal time.
Caregivers, cleaners and front desk help were always very friendly. Maintenance staff friendly but next to useless. It would take forever, if it got resolved, to get things fixed. Some residents were out of their rooms for weeks at a time.
I would not recommend this location.

Las Villas Del Norte review
Las Villas Del Norte was an excellent place for my dad. His apartment was just the right size. The meals were delicious (I enjoyed several meals). Towards the end of my dad's journey, the staff were really supportive of both my dad and me. There were a few little things like ants in the apartment. The wait staff would give my dad extra ice cream!)

Our somewhat positive experience but room for improvement
Unable to evaluate the value for cost as this is first facility we have used for my Mom.
The caregivers are generally very good but they are frequently short staffed, especially on weekends. When they are short staffed, attention and care to the residents becomes scaled back, i.e. bathing, laundry and room cleaning are delayed a day or two. The caregivers feel stretched and they complain to the residents and family members. I was told that there would be an annual cost increase of typically 2-4%. What I wasn't told was that the rent increase could be different from the care level increase. To our surprise and dismay, in 2024 the rent cost increase was 4%, however care level cost increase was 22%! Needless to say, we were shocked and through extensive discussions, we negotiated an adjustment for one year. Overall, the care has been pretty good and my Mom remains active. The meals are edible 30% of the time. They often serve foods that elderly seniors can't cut safely or chew and digest, but I suppose that's a higher level of care assistance. My strong advice to every family is that you must visit your loved one often not only to check in on them but also to keep an eye on things and pay attention to details. Many seniors do not know how to advocate for themselves. (I hope this is helpful)

My family recommends for value costs and communication. As of the eating dining it seems to have always been.........
They are quick to respond to emails and concerns. There is a lot of turnover with staff. And when something breaks down etc. I wasn't notified. My 81 year old father was who sometimes forgets things. So I had to remind them to only go through me. The facility is older but kept up fresh flowers nice grounds they redid the floors. Negative is horrible parking. Sometimes the air conditioner in the hallway is down and it is hot. The rooms are good each room has its own. Windows could use some cleaning. So far the staff has been pleasant. But again huge turnovers. There are full time staff. They do laundry clean my dad's room. Pass meds. Are kind and smiling in the hallway. The meals and dining have seen the most with turnover. Sometimes the menu items are not correct. The food is cold or undercooked. My dad stayed the service is slow and sometimes 40 min before he eats. The activities is wonderful always something going on they do themes.. Mardi Gras, Olympic etc. They have a pool and do pool parties. Happy hour. The cost is below others. But it has been increasing it based on a point system and we are fortunate that my dad can take care of his needs. We do pay extra for a med pass over 2 he gets meds 3 x a day I thought it ridiculous to have this as a point. It did increase his monthly costs but there is nothing I can do about it.
My family recommends for value costs and communication. As of the eating dining it seems to have always been an issue and it seems like they are always trying to do better.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.
