My mother spent about 18 months at Castlemere Senior Homes. Veronica is a lovely person and very communicative and helpful! She works very hard to make sure the home is clean and staffed with competent caregivers. They were especially skilled at medication administration and always greeted us with a smile. The home is bright and airy and the backyard is especially lovely. I was mostly happy with the care provided, but my mom was always put to bed very early (5:30 or 6:00 at night and left completely unattended until about 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning - that is more than 12 hours - which is way too long for any resident. They discouraged using the bathroom at night and relied on diapers which led to constant UTI's for my mom. Ultimately, this schedule proved too problematic for my mom's physical health so I had to move her despite me making repeated requests to have a regular bathroom visit during the night - they only obliged a few times and seemed to make my mom feel guilty about pressing her button to use the bathroom during the night. It was obvious the caregivers, after working during the day, wanted their evenings uninterrupted.) Although my mom had a private room, there is no private bathroom for the residents. The bathroom used by them is inside a shared bedroom down the hall from my mom's private room. There is a private bath in the hallway but that is for caregivers only, which is unfortunate. My mom felt uncomfortable using a bathroom in two other people's bedroom. I also wish there had been more organized activities to keep the residents engaged, of which there was little to none. But, overall, I appreciate Veronica and her staff because they were caring towards my mom. It was just not the right fit. My mom is alert and social and enjoys interaction so perhaps at a different stage of life things would have been better.

Castlemere was WONDERFUL for the final months that my father was alive. After a horrible experience at an assisted living facility in Newhall, my sister and I needed to find a new location where the medical needs of our father would be properly addressed. Veronica and her staff were SO accommodating and helpful. My dad was treated like one of the family, and when he passed, the nurses were thoughtful, compassionate, and empathetic. I cannot recommend Castlemere enough if you are looking for a quality board and care.

Veronica and all the staff were the perfect fit for my Grandma's final days. The staff was very attentive and kind and ready to help with whatever was needed. I am so thankful we found Castlemere and appreciative of their gracious care.

In this challenging era of COVID, Castlemere has been a Godsend. Our mother, age 95, was in a memory facility in Arizona, where we could not see her. Her condition deteriorated in the last few months, and we wanted to bring her home to Valencia. Fortunately, we found Veronica and Castlemere. What a beautiful home, filled with truly loving and caring staff members. We transported Nana from Arizona to Castlemere, where she was welcomed and cared for around the clock. Her care was outstanding -- the staff is experienced, responsive and incredibly kind. The house itself is lovely. Most importantly, we were welcome to spend time with Nana with no time limit. COVID protocols are strictly enforced, but what a joy to be able to be with our mother -- unlike assisted living facilities or memory care facilities. Sadly, Nana died 10 days after arriving, but she passed peacefully surrounded by family and love. I will never forget the kindness extended by Veronica, Ronnie and Resty. I recommend this incredible home to other families seeking to find a loving place for their family member.

We found this lovely, peaceful and caring home where our loving Mother spent the last six days of her life with us here on Earth. Even during this trying Covid-Pandemic times, we were able to spend time with her as she had her own room with its own entrance. Veronica and her staff Ronnie and Resty followed all regulations to keep us all safe while at the same time being so welcoming and caring that it felt like we were in our own home with our Mom. We were blessed to find this home so my Mom could be surrounded and comforted by her loved ones. She left us peacefully.
