Please DO NOT put your family member with memory in this facility. When I placed my loved one in January last year it was great, great loving caretakers and they were so dedicated to caring for my loved one, but eight months later they fired the most caring people and replaced them with worker bees. The care went slowly down. By November I had seen to much to allow my loved one to stay there. I brought a friend to see this place and I discovered that the whole time my loved one was there the medical directive behind the door was for someone that had been there in2022 which means that if emergency personnel came they would have the wrong information! I removed my loved one at the end of this December and found out he had a head wound infection and a UTI !! His body recked from his infections . No staff or medical personnel had addressed this issue and who knows if I would even have my loved one here today. So please don’t let your loved one get in this situation. If you have a loved one there check on them ALL the time and at different times so you really know what is happening with your loved one.

I’ve had my mother here for three years, the facility is clean, the grounds are amazing with picnic tables in a courtyard with green trees, it’s beautiful. The staff is AMAZING, they have helped us with getting my mom adjusted to living here. I’ve had to call late in the evening to ask for someone to assist my mom with her TV; without a hesitation,they go to her room and fix the situation, which helps calm my mom due to her dementia.The nurse supervisor Laura S. is incredible how much knowledge she has in dealing with seniors, and making everything go smoothly. She helped us in so many ways I can’t say enough about her or her team. The receptionist are helpful, Heidi along with the numerous med techs, and Petra all make having my mom there super easy. The dining area is spacious and allows interactions with other residents along with there numerous exercise and special events gives my mom several choices throughout the day to take part in.Choosing the right place for our parents as they age is very difficult and can be frightening for them, but Carmel Village was the right choice for us and my mom, she enjoys living there.

Laundry has been "lost" twice in less than 18 months. Frequently have to call to have laundry picked up. Meals are delivered sporadically or very late.

I’ve worked in the senior care industry for many year’s and work with a lot of communities. When helping families find options for their loved ones in the Fountain Valley/Orange County area, Carmel Village is always a go to community. David, the Executive Director and his team have been their for years. They are committed to providing quality care for their residents and help ensure that families know their loved one is cared for round the clock. They work in sync with community partners providing robust activities for resident enjoyment as well as healthcare providers for ease and continuity of care. Overall, Carmel Village is a top choice for Orange County retirement living.

I am a retired attorney at law and live alone here and this place has outstanding care if and when you need it. They use to have great food here but as of late the old cook it seems left of something from what i have heard and now some of the meals are behond good but totally awsome on the other hand when they are off...yuk yuk yuk...but there is a pizza parlor around the corner with in walking distance that is awesome. I highly recommend this place!!!!!! they have a doctor who comes around and exames you and will prescribe what you need if and when you need it. The staff starting with cash the head man who is fantastic and then you have the men and women assisting him especially in the the medicine area and this is one place i often recommend. I rate this place place an 8 on a scale of 1-10...from what i heard they lost the main cook a while back and I seem to have noticed a change in the meals and frankly i do not think they are as good as they were before but who ever is heading this is trying hard and things are getting better. Thank you to the staff and the nurses and the men and women creating our meals. I just wish i could put my finger on what it is that seems different to me and frankly not as good as it use to be when i first got here. The only think this place lacks is a pool....lol lol lol.... Some places have them and i have been looking to be honest with you. I have thought about returning to where i lived which had a pool as long as i had meals? on the other hand i do not like to be lonely! i had that enought times in the army! they put on good shows and entertainment and it makes things so much better for us lonely older folks. I want to say thank you to the staff and crew and the people including waiters and waitresses in the food area. I am not sure why the food has changed or perhaps it is me?

My parents lived in Carmel Village for over six years. We selected CM over many other places we looked at because it was nicely decorated and well kept, it has a beautiful dining room with fabulous food and a number of activity rooms with many interesting actives going on throughout the week and it was not owned by a big corporation with lots of rules and restrictions - and the price was right! What we didn’t know at the time but found out over the years was the quality of care and the really dedicated staff that couldn’t seem to do enough for my parents. Carmel Village seems to have a knack for hiring the very best people as caregivers, servers, office help, maintenance and housekeeping. My Mom was in the memory care unit for 4 years and I was constantly impressed by the patient and kind-hearted caregivers as well as the many activities provided and the beautiful protected outside area for relaxing and walking. My parents have both passed on but I will miss my visits to Carmel Village and the interaction with all the staff. It’s a real gem!

Carmel Village has been amazing. Having a parent in assisted living is not easy. Itcan be a super stressful situation for a family, both mentally and monetarilyWith the pandemic added it to this, I must say the cooperation we have receivednancially on helping keep my parent safe and secure has been such a blessing.Thank you for all your amazing work keeping your facility friendly, clean and following all covid guidelines. You have really gone above and beyond for the residence, and their families.

As a professional in the healthcare space, Ive worked with countless communities and facilities throughout Orange County and Southern California. There are many options for families, some better than others. The way I look at it, Quality of Care, the happiness of the residents and the availability of resources and activities for those residents are three of the most important factors when choosing a home for a loved one. From top to bottom, this is the case with Carmel Village. Ive worked with the community since 2015 and theyve continued to innovate, improve their community and maintain the highest standard of care for their residents. Thank you to Cash, Brent and the entire team for keeping the bar high!

Carmel Village, and David Kuzmiak, their Marketing Director were so very helpful from start to finish, in making my Aunt feel at home in her new home there. David covered every detail, many I wouldnt have thought of myself, to make the transition as smooth as possible. I cant thank him enough. My Aunts first words on arriving were, Oh! Its so Nice! That is priceless to me! Susan Wight

I provide exercise classes at Carmel Village. The community is very welcoming and I always have a big happy crowd at my classes. They have a busy activity schedule including many indoor activities and trips out of the community. They also have a range of fabulous entertainers and regular events. One of my favorite communities!

We are entertainers who perform regularly at Carmel Village..We actually perform over 300 shows a year all over Southern California, primarily for senior living facilities. Consequently we see a lot of good and a lot of not so good..... Carmel Village is one of our favorite locations as the residents always seem so happy and involved. Rose, the activities director, is very hands on and encourages everyone to participate. She truly cares about every single resident and makes sure they are included. Whatever level of participation they can do is welcomed. The Executive director Cash and his team are more like a family, who care about your family. Making it more of a home like atmosphere.. where everyone knows everyone and the people that work here are not just doing their jobs ...they really care. In fact over the years we have been made to feel that we are part of their family.. It is always a pleasure to visit and we are honored to be a part of the Carmel Village experience.

I have been visiting Carmel Village as a Mobile Dentist for several years now to treat residents that live here. The facility has always impressed me by how attentive the staff is, the cleanliness of the facility, and fun activities they have for their residents. As a mobile dentist I visit many care homes for the elderly and would recommend this location.

Both of my parents are in memory care at this facility. I feel that the staff is very attentive and responsive. They have been very helpful in directing me with care issues that have arisen for both my Mom and Dad. The care givers in Memory Care are very sensitive and caring to all members on the floor. If you are looking for a place for a loved one you will not be dissapointed. Nothing but positive things to say. The Director Jessica is amazing and Cash Benton who handles the financial stuff has also been super helpful. I feel we are finally in the right place.

Top rate facility. The care is second to none. My mother-in-law has lived here for nearly 3 years and loves living here. The staff call the residents by name and the activities are well suited to seniors of all levels of ability. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone.

It was the best possible choice for our grandma. Kind and courteous help all the way from the administrators down to the cleaning crew. Good, healthy food always available, even if she preferred candy and soda (of which she always had a stash). The long walks to the dining room helped keep her up and moving! Good place to visit with kids. Always clean and smelling fresh.

My mom was there for about two years. Her last several months were spent in Memory Care. I feel so blessed that she was at Carmel Village for her last years because she received such loving care from all who work there.
