Any UMC community is a great community ! Peace and Love , Jim Dwyer

My recently widowed mother moved from her home (with 24/7 caregivers) to an assisted living apartment at the Shores. She was greeted by a welcoming staff, the community as a whole, and the smaller "neighborhood" of folks living nearby on her floor. Her new friends, as well as her personal care support team, have helped her feel that the Shores is now home. Aside from the excellent personal care team, she appreciates the flexible dining plan and the options to attend scheduled activities or spend quiet time, whether in her rooms or in community spaces—all of which give her a sense of independence and the comfort to know that help is there if she needs it. Our family is most grateful too! The Shores is a beautiful facility both inside and out. The best I've ever seen.

My mother has very much enjoyed her time there. She has made a ton of friends. She loves the card games especially. They keep her very active and she loves the food there.

We were greeted well and provided great info about Tapestries service philosophy. My biggest concern is how tired the Tapestries section looks. The room we were shown had a broken bathroom vanity and it was very old overall.
November 2022
The Shores in O. C. Is among the best care facilities in our area. Quality administration, staff and accommodation.

The overall visit was very Positive . Joe and Brooke did an amazing job with the luncheon and the site Tour. Now we just need to Convince our Parents that the Shores is for them.... Fingers crossed

My mother has been in The Tapestry unit at The Shores for the past 6 years, she turned 90 this year. The Director and her wonderful staff are so compassionate, well trained in dealing with people with dementia, they treat her like family. They play games, do crafts, sing a longs, exercise. The entire building is very clean and friendly from the moment you walk in the front door. As my mom’s sister tells me, “you gave your mother her life back,” by putting her at The Shores. It’s a good feeling knowing she is safe and well cared for and happy.

I had a good visit, nurse who came to take friends' vital signs was friendly. Man at desk helped connect me by phone with another friend on the third floor.

My husband and I are thrilled with The Shores. My mother-in-law is currently a resident in the tapestry unit for memory impaired. My mom was also a resident there about 10 years ago. Many of the same staff members who cared for my mom are still there and give my mother-in-law the same love and kindness all these years later. Excellent care, safe environment, daily activities, delicious meals in a homey atmosphere make our family feel comfortable having our mom here. Staff is always available and open to phone calls, meetings or to help out in any way. They feel like family to us. We feel blessed after a day out with us, Mom is always happy to get back to her comfy little apartment at the Shores.
November 2022
I have been a volunteer at The Shores and I am impressed not only with the facility (It is beautiful!) but also with the staff. All of the interactions that I have seen between the staff and residents have been so positive. The residents seem very happy there and there are lots of activities for them. I would absolutely feel comfortable with having my family members live here.

This place has been such a wonderful experience for my father and my family. My father is 101 years old and was living on his own until he broke his hip in June. I was terrified at the thought of having him cared for by a facility and it's staff and not myself and my family. Now that my father has been at The Shores since July, I can say with 100% confidence, I made the best choice ever.From day one, all of the staff have been amazing and kind and compassionate. The facility is beautiful, the food is excellent and the staff are wonderful. I cannot thank you enough, The Shores community!

I've been serving UMC at the Shore for almost eight years as a volunteer. It didn't take long to understand and appreciate they way they take care and look out for their residents. During my visits, I talk with many residents who often share their experiences in assisted living quarters and have always heard positive reflections probably 95% of the time. If I had a loved one whose situation required this level of service, I would not hesitate in putting The Shores at the top of the list.

I have nothing but good things to say about The Shores. My mother has been in 3 different sections and they were all good. The care level was great in all areas.
January 2022
So sad..... just wish they would deal with the pervasive thievery. Residents are fearful. Is this a form of elder abuse? Obviously the employees are not vetted properly. No security cameras...really? If you send your loved one here, take out insurance, get a bolted down safe, or don't have anything valuable in the unit.
October 2021
I was visiting a resident. Upon entering, staff was friendly and helpful. The facility was attractively decorated and the atmosphere was cheerful. One thing that could be improved is parking for visitors. Parking spaces are limited and more is needed.

I toured in January 2022. Everyone there was cordial, the receptionist was very nice. My comment is about the heartbreak I saw in the memory care section. I was there while dinner was being cooked and served to these poor women who all sat alone. The workers were playing loud music and believev it or not they were playing the song "Play that funky music white boy". THAT IS A HEARTBREAK and WRONG. These women deserve some calming music that THEY would enjoy - not what the workers would enjoy! It was horrible. Change that for the sake of those women who cannot speak for themselves.

The Shores:--- What can I say about the place ? When I came here with my daughter Tiffany and spoke to Brooke Chappell she made me feel very comfortable being here. The staff ( all ) members are very friendly and most of all helpful, with any issue you may have. My room is most agreeable for me and cozy too. At dinner time I find the food is very good. I have no problem getting enough to eat. With the number of people that they feed, I think they do a very good job. I am very thankful that I was accepted to enroll. THANK YOU VINCE VAN GORDEN

My mother recently broke her hip and could no longer care for herself. After much thought I decided to visit UMC at the Shores. I was hesitant and had visions of placing my mother in a place that no one cared about her. With some reservations I made an appointment to meet with Trina to discuss my mothers condition and tour the facility. After the tour and upon speaking with Trina I felt at ease placing my mother there. Everyone I met and came in contact with could not have been nicer. After some thought I decided that this was the best-safest place for her. My mother has been there for 2 weeks and I am so glad that we made the decision to have her live there. Everyone is helpful and most of all she likes it.Thank you to Trina, Heather, Michele and the nurses who care for my mom. You all made my decision a little easier and we are thankful for all your help. Dave Deaner

I loved my experience with the Shores. My dad was very happy there and the staff were wonderful. They were very quick to attend to his needs. They were very pleasant, always addressed him by name and went out of their way to make him welcome and comfortable.

My Mother has been a resident at UMC, The Shores for the past twelve years. It has been one of the most successful and fulfilling moves in her life. She has been able to maintain her connections with her family, existing friends and most importantly she has made critically important new friends. She has been able to build on her Catholic background by getting involved in the Methodist and other denominational services. The staff at The Shores simply could not do a better job. While my Mother has built great relationships with all of the staff, it is equally important to note that her daughter and son's have really enjoyed getting to know the support staff. I can only provide my strongest recommendation as having The Shores in our life has been critically important to our family (and to our Mom). Sincerely, Bill Hartman (Jane Doren's son)

My Moms been an assisted living resident for almost a year now and Ive been very happy with the care, facilities, and activities available to her.
August 2018
I have nothing but good things to say about The Shores, it is very clean, the food is great! But most important the staff is the best, it starts as soon as you walk in the front door with the receptionist staff. My mother has dementia and has been in memory support for almost two years and she loves it there and thats all that matters. And believe me if something wasnt right I would be the first to hear about it from her. Of course, her dementia is not better, but socially she is happy, they do crafts, bingo, exercise and all that is because of the staffs care. I cant thank you enough for giving my Mother her life back again.
May 2018
I LOVE The Shores! Our Mom has dementia n she is loved n taken care of 24/7!. ALL of the staff are trained in geriatric elderly care on a regular basis. It's very clean n beautifully decorated feels welcoming! Pam Garafolo has taught us ways to effectively deal with crisis when they arise. Pam treats each of the clients with love n respect! Thank you Pam n the wonderful staff!

As an employee of The Shores for many years and knowing the wonderful care offered here, when my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers disease, I knew I would move her to the Shores Memory Care neighborhood once she could no longer live home alone. There was never any doubt in my mind that it was the best place for her and I saw her every day while she lived here. My mother passed away a few years ago now but the memories of my time with her have not. The staff was amazing and I felt blessed that she was not only provided with personal attention to her care needs, but was LOVED by the staff as well. As her daughter, I cannot express enough the gratitude in my heart for the kindness, love and humor (along with excellent care) bestowed on her during her time at The Shores. I was so grateful that I was able to have been with my mother while she was passing, that she was in her home in her apartment with her family and her familiar surroundings instead of having to move to Healthcare. It is so great to work for a company that places such high value on resident and family relationships. Now with Bridges hospice and palliative care neighborhood, more people will be able to have the intimate, loving experience I had with my mom. I would highly recommend The Shores to anyone thinking of moving in themselves or to family members considering a wonderful community for their relative. Worries are left behind and time is spent enjoying life through cultural and religious activities, food, friends, as well as an active lifestyle supported by fitness training classes of all levels. The Shores staff is compassionate, loving, knowledgeable, and dedicated. I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful place to live and be cared for.

We couldn't have asked for a better place for my elderly, blind, wheelchair bound brother. At 81, he needed 24/7 care. After being in two other unsatisfactory places, we found a place or him on the medically needy floor. After being there for several months, he told me "This is the best place for me." He loved the food. I tasted it many times and found it to be tasty and nutritious. He medical care was excellent. He had a good attitude and treated everyone politely and respectfully, and everyone treated him kindly and with respect. My sister and I visited regularly (4 to 5 times a week) at different times of the day and always found the place to be clean and orderly. My brother was always clean and dressed. We observed the same care for others.
