Carmel Village - Fountain Valley, California

If you are in ideal health; and fit and able as a 30 year old, Carmel Village could work for you. But if you want working elevators and would like at least adequate care; and would like more activities than basically bingo, stay way from Carmel Village. Additionally, meals here are less than satisfactory.
An UPDATE to my review: fairly recently, the staff here has tried to improve this place a lot; they have succeeded admirably. The courtyard has added more concrete areas, which are easier to traverse; the activities staff has added more entertainment, social gatherings, and presentations , as well as some classes, which are really pleasurable; the holiday decorations are really imaginative for all holidays; and the dining staff is trying very hard: the food overall is much better, and serving staff try to be prompt and professional! The grounds are open and lovely, and kept up well!

I would highly recommend Carmel Village as a place to receive excellent care for your loved one. My mom has been at Carmel Village for 8 years, the past 5 in Memory Care so I have personally experienced the amazing loving care they provide. Over the last year the Memory Care executives have focused on building a new, stronger foundation by expanding and reinforcing more specialized programs in activities, exercise, direct care regimens and so much more! Laura Sanchez, Health & Wellness Director/Nurse is phenomenal in listening to family members needs and looking at the "unique" needs of each individual. Laura does everything in her power to ensure that she and the staff meets both the family and loved one's needs. Lastly, we all know those "unique" needs constantly change and Laura opens up a wonderful communication channel for the family members to connect with as this new life unfolds. Thank you to Laura and the loving, caring staff for taking such good care of my mama!

Carmel Village is a great choice when faced with a hard decision to relocate a Senior to a safe space. The staff are very friendly, patient, and active with their residents. They have multiple activities to engage residents through the day. From the moment you walk in the door you feel like you’re in a welcoming safe environment. Nurse Laura, Wellness Director, is very involved with the staff, residents and their families to ensure care is appropriately provided. She listens to the concerns of all parties and makes adjustments in a timely manner. Communication is a key factor in this facility. It is very clean with a great layout. From the dinning area to common areas, Carmel Village takes pride in assuring residents enjoy their stay here.

We sadly had to move my mother-in-law into Memory Care 1 1/2 years ago. We are so blessed to have found Carmel Village via a friend's recommendation and could not be happier that we found the wonderful people at CV! The entire staff is very loving and our mother is quite happy living there! After some initial adjustment she quickly responded well to all the loving, patient attention she is given. Now she tells us she loves where she lives and she loves all of her caregivers!

My mom has lived at Carmel Village in Memory Care for almost 9 months now. The decision to move my mom to Carmel Village was necessary but also filled with plenty of uncertainty and questions from my husband and I. Within the first few days, Laura Sanchez "Nurse Laura", proactively met with us to discuss my mom's needs and care in detail. Her knowledge, honesty, foresight, transparency, and action-based solutions were and continue to be beyond reassuring. After 9 months, our relationship with Nurse Laura has only grown stronger. She has a true passion for the residents at Carmel Village, which shows in her interactions with both residents and their families. We continue to love and trust Carmel Village, all their caring staff, and especially Nurse Laura, who has made this transition and plan for continued care all that we wanted for my mom.

Carmel Village is one the most professionally ran Assisted Living I’ve encountered! The level of cleanliness, organization level of the staff, and overall internal and external communication is truly unrivaled!

My company provides extended nursing care for patients at Carmel Village. And the feeling of knowing how well my patients are cared for, is invaluable. The Wellness Director, Nurse Laura is an absolutely phenomenal professional. Her integrity and genuine love for her seniors is something to behold. Thank you Carmel Village for being a leader and a shining example of Top quality senior care!

I’ve been to many senior living communities and Carmel Village is top of my list for excellent and compassionate care. Led by Nurse Laura, this community has overcome many challenges (especially with the pandemic) while providing a safe and enriching environment for their residents. Nurse Laura loves working with seniors and it shows in her work ethic and support for her staff. Staff treat the residents like family and there’s plenty of fun activities throughout the day.

If you are looking for an assisted living, or a memory care, I highly recommend Carmel Village.
I have been in the medical field for 18 years. I have worked with many facilities. Carmel Village is a facility that I recommend to many of my families.
I have had the honor of witnessing the staff and the loving care that they provide to their patients. They are also very welcoming to their families and encourage families to participate and be present with their loved ones. It's a very warm and inviting environment! A++
