My Brother has been a resident of Vista del Mar Senior Living for nearly 3 years, and we were very happy with our choice. We had problems finding another Assisted Living facility in Culver City, and Vista del Mar was perfect. It has met all of my Brother's needs and he has been very happy there. We have since found another Assisted Living facility in Culver City, and that is the only reason my Brother is moving. The new facility will have big shoes to fill. The Staff at Vista del Mar, (especially [Name removed]) should be proud to be associated with a great Senior Living Center. Thank all of you.
Our time with Sunrise was an overall good experience, I have no regrets. I think it's always hard being put into a position where you have to choose a community for a family member. But it was still an overall positive experience; and I wouldn't hesitate recommending Sunrise of Huntington Beach to a friend.
It does not feel like a retirement home, there are so many wonderful activities, the food is 5 star, and the staff and residents are very friendly and helpful. I think it is overall one of the best places in the area - especially compared to others that I looked at. It fits his needs very well and I would absolutely recommend Crestavilla.
