I moved into Palos Verdes Villa 9 years and it doesn't just feel like home- it is my home! The staff is friendly and treat me like family. My needs have changed over the yers and the Villa has adapted to those changes. Care is given with dignity and respect. Activities are great! We had a Luau last week that was fabulous. The food is great and the kitchen always has different options available. Administration is hands on- very easy to contact and get things done. You or your loved one will love it here!

I helped my sister move into PV Villa in May . One of the most difficult things to do is find a good place for loved ones when either medical issues or advanced age has brought them complications that can no longer be managed by themselves. We were looking for a nice location that offered responsible oversight, proper care, a clean environment, and a friendly and loving atmosphere. Also critical was a place that would intrude as little as possible upon a sense of self and independence while providing necessary guide rails. The Directors, Nurses, and Staff are extremely friendly, attentive, and caring. The residents are lovely with a strong sense of comradery and respect for one another. PV Villa stands above and apart in many ways. I read a review that complained about food? Our experience is that the food has been consistently "very good" with significant attention paid to variety and nutrition. We have zero complaints. We are very grateful! Deepest thanks to PV Villa!

August 25, 2023Thank you for your kind words! Its a pleasure having you and your sister as part of our family!
Mother had manage to stay at her home with help until she needed to be hospitalized, then a skilled nursing facility. She then moved to Palos Verdes Villa assisted living. We were happy initially but quickly found out that as she needed more assistance the administration started to change. Mothers condition started declining, then the suggestions started about Plan B, specifically Boarding Care. That wasn’t something we would considered. When her provider said that she needed Hospice we agreed due to her condition. It got so bad that the Administration actively tried to have her transferred, one time calling a meeting with us (family), Hospice staff to make their point…we had to listen to administration relate specifics about her being incontinent and other embarrassing details to sad to describe. Hopefully no other patient and families will have to endure this pain during the last few days of your love ones. The first 5 months were good , mother was happy, it became her HOME.

September 14, 2023I would like to begin by saying that it was a privledge to care for your Mother and to get to know you and your dedicated family. Your Mother was classy and regal. You are your sister cared about her so much. You not only visited almost daily, but you were actively involved in all aspects of her care. When your mother's health deteriorated, your only concern was to make sure your Mom got the care she deserved. The challange we faced was providing that care in an Assited Living setting. We were gladly willing to increase the care- but there are some things we were not equipped for. When residents are no longer safe to get out of bed by themselves, and are unable to request assistance, it can become a danger to the resident. There are smaller places that provide one on one assistance and can have someone at the bedside at all times. Unfortunately, that is not something we were able to do. That is why we met so many times to try and come up with a viable solution. I apologize if the process caused you pain during such a difficult time. As you wote, it was your Mom's HOME and we felt that she was family to us. But we felt that she needed more Nusring and medical attention then we could provide. Wishing you and your Sister peace and comfort during this time
After touring high-end assisted living facilities, my dad chose PV Villa because the vibe was happy, and the residents were friendly. It was close to his home, so this made the transition feel much easier. I wish we had gotten there much sooner as being among other residents and staff enriched his life from being home alone. I can't say enough positive words about the administrator, [name removed]. Her experience makes everything easy and her genuine caring about her residents is from her heart. It's something that any amount of money can't buy. Her staff is well trained and they work hard each day to help make every day for their residents a good and special day. This is an older facility without all the newness of a fancy place, but it is a great home and I recommend their care without hesitation. Thank you Palos Verdes Villas

My sister has been with PV Villa for about 2 years now. She has been the happiest I have seen her, especially after all her health problems. They are very friendly and when she had medical problems they let me know right away and in one instance, saved her life by getting her the help she needed right away. Now that her health has been improving she is active in all the different activities they have daily. She also loves the variety in the different food they offer. During these trying times I am happy she is at PV Villa keeping her safe and engaged. They always give updates on the facilities and what is happening so her family knows she is being kept safe. If you have someone you love that needs extra care or just needs a safe place to live, you should look at PV Villa for their happiness and your peace of mind.

PV Villa has been the perfect place for my sister and her support cat! She has been there since last December, and she and her cat are very happy in a secure, clean, friendly environment. The owner [name removed] and administrator [name removed] always listen to my concerns and questions. They and their staff take action immediately. My brother and I are so relieved that we have found a wonderful residence for my sister. My sister is happy and has many friends there. She is most appreciative of the attentive care she receives. We can all sleep comfortably at night knowing that she is content in her new home.

My mother has been a resident at PV Villa for more than two years. She, and we, have been most happy with the care she receives. During her time at PV Villa, there has been virtually no staff turnover. The entire staff is friendly, warm and caring. Even during this time of pandemic, they are most attentive to resident needs, and keep family members well-informed. The staff always has time to answer questions and provide timely updates. Families are encouraged to schedule outdoor visits during the pandemic to help keep their family members in good spirits during this challenging time. The reason for the 4/5 rating for activities is that, due to limited mobility and other impairments, my mother is not able to participate in many activities. From what I see posted and know from other residents, there is a wide variety of activities from which to choose and participate.

My mom has almost been here 1 year and going on 101! I could not have been more happy with the kindness and friendliness of everyone that works here. Her room is spacious and always tidy and clean. She loves the variety of foods offered and and all her needs are taken care of. The cost is really very affordable. There are many activities but mom can't really take advantage of many or dosen't really want to be involved. Overall I would recommend to anyone!!

Since 1985 I have been personally involved (regarding relatives/loved ones) with retirement homes, assisted living facilities, board/care places. Locating a convenient one, able to afford the costs, feeling comfortable, trusting the staff and so on. Currently my Mother is a resident of Palos Verdes Villa and has been for the past two years plus. I looked at three/four places before visiting PV Villa. I knew IMMEDIATELY that if something was available there I was going to be moving my Mom in. I have never looked back. ;) The staff at PV Villa is unlike any other I have ever experienced. They REALLY care, are happy to help with whatever it is you need and especially helpful with my Mom, who by the way is not the easiest person on the planet to deal with! Just the fact that my Mom loves it there says a lot!!!

December 10, 2019Thank you for your wonderful review!
The Palos Verdes Villa has been an absolute lifesaver for my dad, who is currently residing there. Linda and the rest of the staff there have been accommodating, helpful, friendly, and understanding from day one. I found the Villa for my dad at a time when he was going through both a housing, financial and health crisis. He has been there for three months, and his health, and emotional and mental wellness have vastly improved. I owe the Villa for helping my family and my father during one of out most stressful times.

September 17, 2019Thank you! A pleasure working with you and your Dad!
From the very first day I researched an Assisted Living place for my father-in-law, Palos Verdes Villa was my first choice. I was welcomed by their Administrator, [name removed] and given a tour. I saw their calendar and bulletin board showing the many opportunities for the residents to keep active. The reasons we selected them were few, friendly taff, location and cost, but the reasons we are for ever grateful are many. Among the very top was the care and concern they have for each resident, individually and as a group of seniors as a whole. He came to live there after being in a convalescent hospital and fell in love with his room and his freedom! He felt that they treated him like a King. As his main Caregiver, I felt very comfortable calling or visiting them and discussing any concerns I had. I also was more at ease because I knew that if there was an issue, they would immediately call me, especially when his health began to decline. They were also a source of emotional support. At times, the staff was well ahead of me in assisting him with his needs as the arose. He needed additional table space for his puzzles, they took care of it. Needed to elevate his feet, recliner was brought in. Cold, heater appeared. Hot, let's close the air vent. Didn't like a pillow or blanket, worked with him down to the smallest complaint regarding his comfort or health. From the little things to the more crucial health issues, they cared, they care! He was a very particular, opinionated and demanding person, but then at 99, I think most of us will be. He sadly passed away before his 100th birthday, but he was at peace and going from his current home to his final Home.

September 17, 2019Thank you for your feedback! We miss your Dad very much
The director at the center is very nice and caring. The facilities are on the older side and I am not sure that the activity level and current residents would suit my mom who is still mentally there and might find it a bit depressing. This is still a possibility given proximity to my house, but currently they do not have any available rooms.

Very nice people. I didn't love that they did not have kitchenettes in the rooms though. That's something my mom would like to have in her room. The building wasn't the nicest that I've seen.

February 1, 2019Thank you for the feedback> I am sorry that we were not able to meet your needs. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist in your search for the right place
Man mom has only been in her new place for 9 days. I knew we would miss PC's hospitality. Just didn't know it would set in so soon. Wish we could have taken some of the staff with us. They show know how to spoil the residents and the family. Each time I called someone answered and was able to assist. Mom was only there for a few months. A few months was all it took. Keep doing the folks a good service!

My sister spent several months at PV Villa in late 2017/early 2018. I can't say enough about the professionalism and caring displayed by the staff there, in particular [Name removed] and [Name removed]. PV Villa took very good care of my sister, helping her through PT to use a walker rather than a wheelchair, pairing her with a compatible roommate, offering a variety of activities, and keeping me informed about her care and progress. The ability to communicate on a regular basis with [Name removed] was especially helpful and much appreciated since I live a long distance away. I recommend PV Villa for anyone seeking a clean, well-run assisted living facility.

Palos Verdes Villa truly is the best place for senior living in this area. My Mom has lived there for four years now, and she couldn’t be happier. The staff is always pleasant, the facilities are always clean, and the food is surprisingly good! She had been at two other places prior, and the difference is remarkable. She has made many friends here, and there is always some sort of activity that she is excited about. [name removed] and the whole team of staff are really doing an excellent job. Thank you PV Villa!
