I was very surprised by warm and welcoming greetings by ELIA who took time and showed me their available units. Their apartments are spectacular and very roomy, very clean and respectable. I will recommend this place to all senior 55+.

It's a great senior center that provides great activities for seniors. I have heard a number of residents share this. Lisa, the activities director, receives high compliments from people, as well.

My grandmother lives at Meridian, both the staff and facilities are fantastic! Having a safe place where my family and I know that our loved ones are well taken care makes a world of a difference! I highly recommend considering this as a place for your loved ones in their golden years.

Great staff! This is all I need a caring community and staff that acknowledges that you can still be independent!

I gave this 5 Star Senior Living (according to their welcome mat) 4 stars because the woman who was assisting us (Lisa) with the move in was more interested in talking on her cell phone about her Christmas dinner plans than helping us locate a missing package that had been delivered 2 days before. And why is the front desk supervisor at a senior citizen living complex hosting a large dinner party at the peak of a pandemic!!!

I helped my mom move into Meridian at Laguna Hills a few weeks ago and she is really enjoying herself! She is already making friends, loves the heated pool and raves about the food. My experiences with all of the staff and management (Charlotte, Tammy, Renee & Maureen) have been great from the start, which made me even more confident this would be a good community for my mom. Thank you Meridian team!

Meridian at Laguna Hills is a beautiful resort style community. From the minute you walk in you feel the friendliness of the staff and residents seem to love it there. Their food is great. The staff works hard to make sure that all needs are met. Great place!

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.

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.

We moved into Villa Valencia one month ago- and had an emergency (heart attack.) Your care, medical, and wait staff just took over without hesitation. Looking back, after my return, I realize how your wonderful caregivers knew exactly what to do and properly performed their duties as professionals. I really didnt know what assisted living meant when I moved in. now I know that I can trust the good judgment of all who work here. You certainly have earned your 5 Star award. Thank you very much. I thought I was moving here to have some care for my husband but have realized now how much I needed it as well. Keep up the good work and thank you!

Last week I had the opportunity to visit Villa Valencia as a possible future home for my 86 year old mom. Lauren Davidson, Director of Sales greeted me with her million dollar smile and I knew immediately I had come to a nice possibility even for my moms very discerning tastes! In her unhurried style, and obvious wisdom in knowing what my Mom may require, she showed me around and kept referring to my mom as though she had known her for years! It was truly a very calming experience and I left with the feeling that I had perhaps found, subject to her approval, the place for mom to live out her remaining days in comfort and social opportunities! Thank you Lauren!

I stopped in to Villa Valencia to take a look for my parents, as we may be moving them from Philadelphia to California. I visited several other communities to gather some basic information. I was most impressed when I went to Villa Valencia. The director that I spoke to was warm and friendly and answered all of my questions. While I didnt have enough time to look at the apartments, I feel that I gathered all of the info that I need. I will definitely be back to take a look.

5 Stars? Triple that for the truth about this community! Everyone from the Director to the residents just radiate happy. Lauren is genuine and eager to make sure your visit is filled with answers to all your questions and provides a quality tour. I have visited many similar type living communities and have found nothing that offers such spacious apartments, the large variety of interesting activities, the delicious food choices and the spirit of enjoying life. I am so excited to make Villa Valencia my home! Well Done Villa Valencia!

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.

My family and I just love going to see my mom at The Villa. Especially for holidays ie. Mothers Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, X-mas. What a joy it is to see not only my mom but all of the residents so happy and proud to live somewhere they truly celebrate these family gathering moments. The care givers, the restaurant staff, every one of the employees are genuine and warm even during the busiest of times. Cara is just fantastic to work with in difficult times. She knows when to lighten the mood and understands how to comfort. The care givers encourage without pushing and help when needed. I hope to see the finished remodeling project which has gone on Too Long but will hopefully be worth it. The new restaurant concept should showcase Juan and Paulas talents well. Mom and her friends are looking forward to fancy 7th floor opening. We feel incredibly blessed to have mom at The Villa.

Our aunt joined the Villa Valencia family recently. The entire VV team, beginning with Lauren, made a complex transition both an easy and loving change. From looking at choices to organizing a short-term stay to finding and outfitting a lovely room to organizing assisted living services (we live on the East Coast) and -- most important -- making our aunt feel at home among family and friends: it was an amazing process. Even smoothing out inevitable bumps in the road was a pleasure. A professional place managed by a professional and caring team.

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.

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.

We were recently referred to Villa Valencia for our aging mother. For years now, my brother and I have driven by this location. It is rare that my older brother and I can schedule to meet up as our work schedules are hectic and do not permit. Extremely last minute, we decided to meet at this property in hopes to at minimum get a brochure and set an appointment. It was a pleasant surprise to be greeted by the Sales Director, Lauren. Lauren was extremely welcoming and took the time to walk us through some options for our mother. After our conversation, we left reassured that there are positive options for our mother. Mom is not quite ready for assisted living yet but it is in the near future. We left feeling welcomed and confident that Villa Valencia is a possibility. Thanks Lauren!!!!

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.

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!
