Aspen Health Care

The staff interacts well with all the residents. We have had a few issues with mom's health and no one seems to take things into their own hands. I have had to chase after some of the management to get a response to some of my concerns. The food has been good and the chef really seems to care. They have activities all day long and the activities director has done a good job. The community is beautiful and they do a good job of maintaining the grounds.

I have no complaints about our tour of this community, the property is very well kept and all of the apartments looked brand new. The residents seemed to be happy and involved in different activities throughout the building.

This community is not bad for the price. They do have a massive dining room. The food looked ok and it was highly recommended. They did not have any first floor apartments available. The people we met during our tour were nice.

These surveys are a real nuisance. Most of my mother's stay and experience were positive. One night she had to wait 25 minutes for a response to her pressing her medallion. This is unacceptable.

This is a perfect community. I really enjoyed my tour, they showed my all around the facility. They do a very good job with the maintenance ice of the community. Everything looked nice and clean. The staff was nice and informative. This is a lovely community and I enjoyed my tour.

You know, things are going okay. They are very disorganized, but the caregivers are very nice and very helpful and they respond to what we need them to do. There is miscommunication among their staff sometimes. The caregivers are very nice and are taking good care of her.

I would have to say that everybody that the staff members were excellent. they have such a sweet way about them. they are not only sweet to my loved one, but to everybody. they are very, very kind. They seem like they enjoy their jobs. I wish they did have a few more activities though.

I found this residence to be clean with a fresh scent throughout. Staff appeared to be friendly. Crystal, the Program Director, showed me around, and seemed like a very caring person. There are 3 levels of care at Brookdale San Juan Capistrano. I was told that there is always an LVN on duty. I was able to visit 1 studio and two 1 bedroom apartments. The studio and one of the 1 bedroom apartments were very cheerful because of location of the windows and the view. The other 1 bedroom model did not have an angled wall, and it felt much smaller with a definite closed in feeling. Price for the studio was around $3360, and for a 1 bedroom $4,245 or $4,380. Housekeeping does two washes each week, one for linens, and the other for clothes. The resident may pay for additional washing of clothes, or do the additional laundry herself. The memory care part of the residence seemed somewhat drab. The rooms seemed darker and smaller. I visited during lunch hour, and there was absolutely no talking among the residents with dementia. A little music may have made the lunch time seem more appealing. The one attendant I noted had a smile on her face. I did not eat at the residence, so I cannot judge the quality of the food. A variety of food was offered to the residents for lunch such as roast leg of lamb or veal parmesan. Besides these special entrees, simple things like a hot dog or tuna sandwich could be chosen. Residents can be taken to their medical appointments on two days during the week. There is also opportunities for the residents to go on outings to shop for groceries or clothes, attend a movie, etc. This is the first senior living place I have visited, so I have nothing to compare it to. I am really not sure how many stars it should be given.

We had a very nice move-in experience. There were a couple little things that we didn't care for, but they are slowly changing that. The dining room experience my mother is not happy with, some of the residents are pretty territorial. Other than that, it is a nice place. They are kind of short-handed in the dining room, but they are trying to rectify it.

I can not think of anything specific to say about Emeritus at Camarillo. My loved one has only been there for a couple of month, about three or four now, and he has been fairly happy with the facility thus far.

I just think they need more staff. They seem to be short handed in the memory care unit. There doesn't seem to be enough people to give adequate attention to the residents. They could communicate with the family a little better too.

My father has been living at Emeritus for 6 weeks now and it's taken these 6 weeks for all of us to adjust. The staff is wonderful and attentive to all of our needs. I visited other Assisted Living facilities and I am very happy we chose Emeritus. I would highly recommend it.

I like this place because its friendly, and the people are friendly. You go there and the people aren't doped up, like other places where the people look like zombies. They treat my husband good there.

This is one of the places we looked when we were exploring options for my loved one's care. This is probably the place we liked the best though, we ultimately went with a home care agency, at least for now. We liked that the Emeritus seemed to have enough amenities to keep my loved one happy.

The folks at Emeritus in San Juan Captistrano have been great with my mom. She has dementia however is still too "with it" to be in Memory Care. They are providing great support, activities and concern for my mom. The only trouble I have had is the night time care givers are less quick to respond and not very knowledgable. However, any concerns I have had have been quickly addressed. I am very happy with this choice!

It’s a good community for someone who is looking for a community with a wide range of services that range independent living, assisted living, to nursing care – so that someone can age in place – pretty much for the rest of their life. Food is pretty good.

My mother is in rehab at Emeritus right now. It is OK, but I think that she could get more attention. I can't say anything bad about it. I like the physical therapy staff there. She's only going to be there for a week or so more and then we're hoping she'll get to go home.

Decided not to go there. I thought it was fine. I was a little concerned how she would fit in to the environment in general. She's always lived alone and I thought this might be a little big for her. They were very nice and it was clean but I was also a little concerned about the level of care they would provide and what they would charge for that.

The cleanliness is good. I haven't noticed any problems with that. The care is a tough one to rate. I think my dad would probably give it a three. I think they're a little short staffed. I think if you have all your faculties the activities might be good but they're not really strong for people with disabilities. For them to improve, I think I would just have them look at their staff ratios. I think some of the things we have issues with are because my dad is deaf and blind and they're not necessarily adequately staffed for that nor have they created activities that cater to that population.

Great presentation , very informative about degree if care will definitely consider this one. Skilled nursing section might be a necessity
