Brookdale Anaheim
3.1

The community provided compassionate care with medications and patience when she called them often when she wasn't feeling well. Housekeeping did a great job keeping her room clean and picked up. Laundry services excellent. Receptionists were always very friendly. Sales department very nice and extremely flexible with move in and move out dates.

Vista Del Mar Senior Living in Long Beach, CA
4.8

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.
