I was pleasantly surprised at how large the apartments were, especially the 1 bedrooms. Some of the views were amazing. I really enjoyed my tour with Liam Larson. He was so personable and very knowledgeable and professional. My only disappointment was that I couldnt afford the apartment I really liked, and I needed the extra room it provided. I definitely would consider living there.

There are always plenty of fun and exciting events going on here! Whenever I come visit it seems like theres something to celebrate. The activities department does an amazing job of putting on great events, booking fun entertainers, and making the whole community feel active no matter what season it is. I always ask my dad what activities are on the calendar before I plan a visit to see him.

This facility truly has a staff who is committed and cares! The activities director showed genuine respect for my elders need for exercise and socialization. I highly recommend!

My mom moved to Villa Valencia in June 2019. The first thing she said was she should have moved here earlier. We looked at several places, but Villa Valencia was the top choice by far. I certainly couldnt praise enough the quality of the entire staff, which is so important. There was genuine care and concern for the residents, real sincerity. Plus, it was the first time in a few years my mom actually gained needed weight. The menus for each meal have terrific choices, and are wonderfully prepared. And the residential units are extremely well designed, with care and consideration for what an independent person or one needing assistance needs to be fully comfortable. There are also lots of social activities one can participate in. A well-run and extremely well-equipped place that goes the extra mile to provide the comfort and care residents need. Villa Valencia is truly a special place, and it shows not only in my moms attitude, but all those Ive met and come to know during my visits.

My family and I moved mom into Villa Valencia a couple of months ago after months of searching for an assisted living facility. After touring a number of facilities that didnt feel as if mom would ever be able to be at home, we toured Villa Valencia. We were immediately struck by how nice and accommodating the staff seemed and how vibrant the residents seemed. The decision seemed like an easy one and Im happy to say that the transition has gone very well. Mom feels as if she lives in a place where people legitimately care about her. Her overall health has improved markedly, and she goes out of her way to comment on how much she loves the food. Its a beautiful place as it is today, but shes also very excited about the renovations that theyre currently making to the facilities. Cant thank the staff enough for making a very difficult time much easier for our family!

Family friend moved into Villa Valencia not too long ago. When going to see her new home we felt welcomed. Staff were all polite, professional and courteous. During lunch we were impressed by the servers and the managers who asked how everything was (just like an upscale restaurant). Food was great, options were more than plentiful and the whole building was clean (even during construction). Her apartment was very large, had so much storage and a great view! Cant wait to see everything after the construction.

If we could give more stars we would. Right now Villa Valencia is under remodel, and it must be very stressful for the staff to keep all the parts moving, but we have seen nothing other than happy & smiley faces and have experienced nothing but excellent service whether it is from waiting staff in the dining room, housekeeping, or receptionists in the lobby. We are pretty picky as a family and it takes a lot to impress us. Villa Valencia impresses throughout. We cant wait until the remodel is finished as it can only get better.It was a very hard decision for our family to agree to placing our mother in assisted living. The difficulty was mostly out of selfishness because we love her and wanted to care for her in our home. She was, however, depressed at home and visibly shrinking away from a lack of social contact with her peer age. Within a month of being in Villa Valencia she blossomed and now 8 months later it is no exaggeration to say it feels like Lazarus rising from the dead. Our mom is thriving. She has made lots of friends both among the residents and staff. She loves the food (despite certain food allergies) and she is fitter and healthier than before.Someone once said it takes a village to raise a child. Well, I think it takes a great team to make seniors feel valued and relevant, and that is certainly how our mom now feels. Our only regret is not making the decision sooner.

My mom moved in to the facility in October and the experience has been awesome. She loves her room and the food is great. She is starting to meet friends and the staff is friendly and very helpful.Wanted to move her to a facility closer to me in Long Beach but she did not like any of them. Although Villa is 30 miles from my house, I am very happy about our decision and mom seems very happy with a tough transition from being on her own to an assisted living environment.Would highly recommend to friends with parents having similar needs.

I was extremely impressed with the staff and care that was given to my mother-in-law during her recent stay. She received physical therapy that really did help. Not just walking but they actually helped her with stair climbing and learning to use her walker. I feel like she really got something out of her stay not just a place to put her until the insurance got tired of paying. The activities she was able to participate in were wonderful (she especially loved the manicures and art classes). The dining room was well staffed and she enjoyed the company. At the same time she was able to eat in her room without any trouble. Karen (social worker) was very helpful providing all sorts of contacts and helpful information. I am so thankful we found this facility and if needed we will be back. Thank you to all the staff that helped.

The recommendations of others is key in determining whether or not a facility can be trusted to provide the support and care that you or your loved one needs. Since needs vary by individual not all recommendations will have importance, therefore you need to rely less on a specific review and more on the overarching message that the reviews convey. When it comes to Villa Valencia and its reviews take note of a very important message that can be seen in most all of the reviews.... they dont just meet expectations they exceed expectations. Not an easy task for one of the premier assisted living facilities in the country. They set high expectations and yet continually exceed them. From clear upfront pricing without sales pressure, to ease of doing the necessary paperwork they make you feel welcome and valued. No surprises! The facility staff from administration to medical and support personnel at all levels are there for you and your loved one. This is truly a team of professionals at all levels striving together to make your experience exceed your expectations and they do. They care and it shows! we could name a lot of names and yet there would be many more whose names we do not know, from the great staff at the front desk, to the back office, from housekeeping to the dining room, from the medical technicians and nurses to the resident assistants, they all contribute to the Villa Valencia experience. Even with the construction that they are undergoing which will make this facility even more beautiful, their passion for their jobs and genuine concern for their residents shines through. The Villa Valencia team is family and when you become a resident you become a part of that family. We feel fortunate to have become a part of that family during this past month.
