August 3, 2023Dear Yvette, Thank you for leaving us such a wonderful review! I will read your review to the team and acknowledge them for their dedication, expertise, and caring ways as they are the backbone of our community. Please stay in close contact and let us know what we can do to ensure your loved one continues to thrive and we appreciate the recommendation! - Joshua Castillo, Executive Director, 562-777-1477
My 95 year old father has been in assisted living at Whittier Place since April of 2018. We have had a good experience there overall, but especially lately. In addition to having hired a truly outstanding Activities Director, they have also given her a new and much-needed assistant, and so more and more social activities are happening. These include interactive music events, exercise classes, games, and a variety of regular social activities, which are so important for keeping the residents happy, sharp, and active. I am also very pleased with the other support staff, including the medical personnel and also the various receptionists and caregivers. These people truly take a personal interest in my dad, and this goes a long way toward his happiness there. [name removed], the new Executive Director, is really trying to up the game by making strategic improvements and seeking an enhanced experience for the residents and their families. I see good things ahead for Whittier Place.

Whitter Place Senior Living is a good facility. They have a nice outdoor area for those people who like to be outside. the rooms in memory care are all spacious and the floors are new. The bathroom are all very accessible. I would recommend Whittier Place to others, I have nothing bad to say about them. It is a good place overall.

July 19, 2023Hi there, Thanks for the high marks. I'm glad you had a positive experience when you visited and I hope we see you again soon. If you have questions along the way please feel free to give us a call. Thanks again, Joshua Castillo, Executive Director 562-777-1477
My family and loved one had an average experience with the community. The biggest suggestion we have is ask lot of questions, to make sure the community is the right fit for your loved one. Some questions could be the ratio of caregivers to residents, what type of activities are available, what are meals like, and what specific care are they able to provide. The biggest thing is to make sure you are being your loved one's advocate during this process.

Whittier Place is very light and welcoming. You can look right out at the gardens, which was the first impression when I walked in. All the staff is friendly. My person likes the food. And everybody there seems happy.

August 25, 2022Thank you for the 5-star review! We truly appreciate your feedback.
This community is very nice. We were going to go with this community but we decided to wait a little longer to put my loved one in care and were not ready at the time.
I would not recommend this community for memory care. I don't feel the community was prepared for a memory care patient. The community did not communicate or return calls in a timely manner.

The staff is friendly and responsive. The facility is clean and is kept very neat. My Mom says the food is good in general but has had a few meals that were not to her liking. I feel comfortable with her living there. The staff frequently checks on her to make sure that she's safe. The facility was recently sold, which we were not told about when she moved in last December but things seem to be unchanged so far. I am very satisfied.

We love Whittier Place. I can't say enough good things about the community. What really sold us was that every member of the team at the community was so friendly. Even the residents are warm and welcoming. It is a clean and beautiful facility. Outdoors is well-maintained with wonderfully landscaped grounds to enjoy the outside activities. We haven't eaten there yet, but next week our whole family is going to dine with mom and then we will find out if it is as good as she says it is. They offer various activities that she enjoys. She hasn't tried all of them out yet as she is still getting acclimated to her surroundings. They offer shopping and other excursions on Tues. and Weds. We couldn't be happier with the care they are providing for her, and it's close to our family so that we get to visit her often. I would highly recommend this community to others.

We toured the Whittier Place. The staff was friendly and answered all of our questions. The atmosphere was not as bright and cheery as what we were looking for. It did not seem as clean as some of the other places we had looked at. My mom did not want to live there.

They were good when we had a tour with with community. I thought they were friendly and professional. I saw they had some activities going on while walking through the community. Nothing was wrong here except having smaller rooms and they reason why we did not choose them.

This is a smaller community. The people I met were nice and the community seemed clean. They offer transportation and daily activities. This community did not seem like a good fit for us.

I have to say that I'm impressed with the caring staff at this facility. My mom who has dementia who was living at home alone and was noticeably declining by the day. I am amazed that in the short time since we placed her at Whittier Place, she is now living and not just existing. Her dementia is still present but we can see the happiness in her eyes and the caregivers are wonderful. Whittier Place is top notch and I would highly recommend anyone looking to place their love one there to not hesitate. The pricing is reasonable, clean, wonderful meals and has that family like atmosphere that we all look for.

My loved one feels good at Whittier Place. Especially since she had to move in so quickly. My loved one is adjusting well to the new environment. The community as far as I can see does not offer very many activities for my loved one to participate in.

My experience so far has been very great and my mom seems to be content and happy now. Mom is getting one on one interaction with staff and they insure her safety within the memory ward. I never feel rushed when I call and check on my mom, Vicki is always honest and understanding. The food is good, the community is always clean, and the staff clean Mom's room weekly. I thanks Michelle from A Place For Mom for all the good information and referrals. I would recommend this community because it is a great place!

This community is so very clean and always! The staff are so amazing, attentive, sensitive, and caring til the end! The director is an excellent, wonderful human being too. My mom joined in lots of activities like bingo, puzzles, and violin guests and Mom said" I'm tired from all the fun" I would highly recommend this community for its high quality and the peace of mind knowing that all is in great care. This community is beautiful and worth the value.

My Mom has lived here for 2 months and she is happy. I on the other hand have had some issues. I live over 300 miles away and cannot just drop by to help if they drop the ball on something. She had a doctors appointment that I confirmed in person on two different dates. When the date came up they told my Mom she wasn't on the schedule. She also needs prescription painkillers and in two weeks I had 5 different people from the facility call me and tell me she was running out. I let them know I would email her doctor to get a prescription. Each person assured me they would take care of it. Obviously they didn't and it came down to her last pill and me having to email their executive director. He made things happen and I have his assurance that in the future it will be handled. My Mom loves the staff there and she has friends there so I am hoping all of these issues get worked out and we can both be happy.
