A place that really cares about your loved one
I am going to rate all categories a 5 except for the activities one. I cannot rate it as my brother was too ill to participate in any. The live music provided to all as a whole was very nice. We are happy for the care my brother received while there. It was a positive experience in a very sad health situation. All staff was very kind to my brother and all of us.

Would not recommend
I was very disappointed that I chose Windchime for my brother. He was only there for six weeks before he died, but it was not a good experience for him. The staff treated him like a child, walked right into his room, no privacy. He was there for strictly medical reasons, but they still treated him as if he had dementia. They talked about all the plans they had for the future for the facility when I toured it. There were very few activities, no barber, nothing to do. The food was awful, very bland and very few choices other than a turkey sandwich if he missed a meal due to his dialysis. No effort to make him feel welcome.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re deeply sorry that your brother’s experience at Windchime of Chico did not reflect the level of care and dignity you expected during such a meaningful and challenging time. We want to note that this review reflects a time when the community was operating as Windchime of Chico under previous ownership and management. Since then, it has transitioned to new leadership and is now The Lighthouse at Chico. With this change, we've taken meaningful steps to enhance care, privacy, dining, and resident engagement, guided by a renewed focus on dignity, respect, and personalized support. We appreciate your feedback and take it seriously as we continue working to provide a higher standard of care for every resident and their family.

Seemed like more of a place for memory care or older patients requiring more care.
My loved one was only there a short time. But I definitely thought the food should be better. That's one of the most important things when you've gotten to that stage in life. You don't have much to enjoy anymore, so food is big deal. And I was not impressed with it. If you didn't want whatever their main offering was, you basically got either a hot dog or a turkey sandwich. The care depended on the person giving it. It seemed okay overall, but there was not a lot of personal care - it was all kind of going through the motions without trying to form any kind of connection. A lot of the people who work there are really young, and I'm not sure how well they related to the residents. My main complaint was after he passed away, there was no announcement - it was like they didn't tell the staff. So for days afterward, different staff members would come to his room to see if he wanted lunch, and we would have to let them know, which was kind of traumatic for our family to have to relive that over and over each time someone would come to the door. So they definitely need better communication with their staff. Also, they've never reached out to me since then. Other than when I returned the key to the receptionist, I've heard nothing from them, which is kind of odd.

We looked at 4 different facilities and we chose Windchime because of the location, it is warm and inviting when you walk in, and I really liked their memory care unit as well as the units director. I would tell others that when your loved one goes on hospice as ours did, they were extremely caring and worked well with the hospice workers and we were able to go in at any time. I would absolutely recommend them.

This community is not what I wanted for my husband's care. The community did not have access to water. The staff did not make sure that he was not giving him the care that i needed. The community was clean and the activiites were offered to him. I would recommend this community, but they need to just residents . Over all this is a nice community and I would recommend the community to other families for good care .

Everything is Great
My mom is happy here and likes the staff and they love her a lot. I selected this community because it was available and closer to my home. I feel they could do a little better at cleaning, it seems that not much is done. They accommodate her meals with moist food and mom says it's good. The staff bring meals to her room sometimes and ice cream at night. They are on top of her medication too. She has made a lot of friends and she likes getting her hair done from the stylist.

Needs Improvement
One thing I will say about this community is that they are trying to improve things! My husbands health has gone down hill since being here at this community. The caregivers work really hard, but I feel the resident ratio to staff isn't good, there are many times they are under staffed in there memory care unit. I have noticed activities written on the board, but I never see anything going on. Their responsive time needs to improve. Until there are improvements made, I would have to think twice before I would recommend this community.

Top notch facility!
Basically I chose this facility is because there was linen, wood banisters, top notch stuff...snooty enough for my mom, who is quiet the princess :) I like that the bathroms were large and handicap accessible. I also liked that I didn't have to bring in a lot of furniture- they provided a good amount. They staff was really helpful and so friendly!

Response from Lighthouse at Chico
May 16, 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re so glad to hear that the community made a strong impression and was the right fit for your mom. It’s always a joy to know that the thoughtful design, accessibility, and staff support helped create a comfortable and dignified experience—especially for someone with a touch of royalty. This review reflects a time when the community operated as WindChime of Chico. Today, under new leadership, we continue that spirit of care and attention to detail as The Lighthouse at Chico. While much has been enhanced over the years, our commitment to comfort, hospitality, and personalized support remains stronger than ever. We appreciate your kind words and the trust you placed in us.

Better for Higher Functioning People
Windchime was okay but you know how you just get a feeling sometimes about a place? This place was okay but I just like another place better. It may have been because of the stage my mother was in. Some of these places are for people who are higher functioning and still able to be involved with activities and things like that. Windchime seemed like this - good for people who still can do some functioning. My mom is just at a point where she can't.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand how important it is to find the right fit, especially when your loved one is at a more advanced stage of care. Every family’s situation is unique, and we respect the thoughtful consideration you gave to your mother’s needs. This review reflects a time when the community was known as WindChime of Chico. Since then, the community has transitioned to new ownership and leadership and now operates as The Lighthouse at Chico. Today we offer a more tailored approach to care, including enhanced support for residents at all stages of cognitive and physical decline. Our Memory Care neighborhood is designed to provide a safe and compassionate environment for individuals with advanced needs through personalized care plans, specialized staff training, and structured daily support. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to continue improving the care and experience we provide to all residents and families.

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.
