Belmont Village

My loved one lives at Belmont Village, and we could not be happier with this community. The employees seem to be treated very well because they are so happy and so warm with the residents. The food is excellent, and my loved one says she's sure to gain weight here. My loved one seems to be very well cared for, and I would definitely recommend Belmont Village to other families.

Mom couldn't be in a better place. The staff is friendly, courteous and always helpful in suggesting ways to deal with narcissistic demented parents. The fact they have an in-house dentist, podiatrist, and doctor keeps me from having to lose work time. Many other facilities don't offer the podiatry and dentist services. The staff is also great when it comes to updating family members on changes with their loved ones. Always get my questions answered and staff willing to listen to your concerns and follow up on them.

So far so good. food is very good. workers very nice. we are pleased. thank you for your help.

My Dad’s been here for about a month and a half and things are going excellently. The staff is doing a great job at providing the right kind of care that my Dad needs with his dementia. The food is okay but I wasn’t pleased with it. However, I think it’s more so just because we like our food spicy and the food they serve is made for people of their generation that can’t handle it as well. They’re great with keeping the place clean and it looks wonderful. There are different levels of dementia care available and with the slightly more functioning group they have outings once a week. They have a group called Circle of Friends that’s specific to the community and it’s filled with the higher functioning dementia residents. I like that Circle of Friends is designed so the residents are reminded that they aren’t alone and they have friends there with them. The facility provides transportation to certain shopping centers for the more independent residents and they’ll take them to various churches on Sundays. In terms of daily activities, they have memory games, ping pong, billiards, happy hours on Thursdays, live music performances at least once a week, and I think they’ve had dance performances too. There are also crafts and different kinds of parties for the holidays. There’s a gym as well that the residents can use regularly. Overall, it’s just a beautiful atmosphere

I toured here when looking for a place for my mom. The facility is good, but it was expensive and it was more care than she needed. The building itself is very nice, almost like a hotel. I think she would’ve liked the common areas and stuff but the rooms were tiny. It’s more for people that need someone to be with them all the time. Everyone seemed real happy and the cleanliness seemed fine. They kept talking about their dining area and it seemed like a real high end restaurant with an expensive chef, though I didn’t get a chance to try the food.

We had my mother-in-law here for about a month and it was a good stay. The staff was nice but we didn't realize that mom needed more assistance. The independent living and assisted living was blended. They would knock on here door and she mostly stayed in her room. The housekeepers were amazing. And the cook staff was great and helpful.

My husband is here currently and it’s going okay. It’s been a tough transition but the staff has been very good with their interaction with him and anytime I have a question for them or the management, they’ve had answers. The food is very good. They have a menu that the residents can order off of. They have a few activities including memory care which involves exercise and they have a lot of interaction with him. Everywhere in the building, including his room, is kept pretty clean. The other residents get along with him really well and he helps them out whenever he can. I would recommend them.

This place is comparable to a country club. The service, the food, it’s all phenomenal. I actually look forward to eating there whenever I visit. The staff does everything right it seems. They put on some unbelievable and fantastic shows and events and really go all out. Even the cleanliness is pristine. Everything about this place is professional and everyone is just amazing. It’s not institutional at all. It’s almost like going to a country club for lunch and then staying overnight at the Ritz Carlton. I would absolutely recommend them. $15,000

I toured here when trying to help my sister find a place for my brother-in-law and, from what I saw, I really liked it a lot. It was the first place I was able to tour and the facility is about 3 or 4 stories high. It seems to be more situated into an older community as well. Everyone I spoke with while I was there was helpful to my husband and I. They even told us about Veteran’s administration help and my brother-in-law is a Vet so that was very helpful. My sister is now getting help for her husband because of the woman that took the time to give us that information. The facility does a lot of things for the community and will even email my family about coming to different lectures or events that are taking place at the facility. They’re very civic minded and like to involve the community as much as they can.

When I was started to look at facilities for my dad, I spoke with [Removed] at A Place for Mom and he was wonderful. I saw him more like a counselor rather than a salesperson. He sent me a few places to tour and one of them was Belmont. This facility was more than I expected. It is a lot more expensive than other places but it was worth it. The staff answered every single question I had. They were very personable and went about and beyond for my dad. The facility itself is brand new, immaculate, and I was comfortable here. IT was more like a high-end hotel or a brand new cruise ship. My dad needed something to where he felt like he was on vacation, and this was it. I highly recommend this community.

[Removed] showed us a nice tour. We knew quoted prices would be more in a Assit. Living bldg, but she did make some concessions bc my mother did not need care at this time. Bldg was very clean, appealing, with lovely color changes per hallway. She showed us various available rooms so that my mother could age in place. Wonderful walking paths on site.

It was very nice, but too much money. The people were very nice, but I'm not sure it was the right place for my Mom. I would recommend you take the tour.

We like the caring staff who are always helpful. The community is clean and she seems to like the menu of the meals. They offer the residents to participate in nice activities. We would recommend this community to other families wanting good care for a good value for a loved one.

I don't think that my mother is self sufficient enough for this facility. She requires too much care,she is really bed bound.

I brought my Mother to Belmont Village in Encino. After living at a Senior facility independently in Northridge for over 5 yrs, her cognitive functions declined rapidly. After hiring aides 24hrs a day, I moved her into the Assisted Living in the same complex, and her mental health declined further. Their AL was negligent. I had to move my Mom again not a month later. I looked at several homes before landing at the Belmont. If your loved one starts to decline cognitively, there is NOWHERE better than the Belmont. They have 5 levels of programming, depending on where they are on the cognitive continuum. Circle of Friends is a 7 day a week, from 9:00[removed] series of interactive activities all designed to increase cognition. Within just 4 days of arriving, I saw a MAJOR change in my Mom for the better! She began exercise everyday after giving it up entirely for 3 years. The staff (lead by the outstanding Executive Director Cynthia, to the head of Assisted Living, Elizabeth, to every aide, dining staff and the Circle of Friends) all work very hard to engage my Mom. They have played match maker for my Mom, who knew no one when she arrived! In the month she has now been there, she went from spending everyday of the week in front of the TV alone (with the exception of Bingo 2x a week for her only mental stimulation), having trouble finding words, and looking deshovelled at her old place, to being a vibrant 88 yr old excited about life again! I can't recommend them enough!!!

I an very pleased with the staff here. They do what they can to take great care of my loved one. She also gets many chances to participate in activities, and she's even in an activity group called "Circle of Friends", which helps dementia patients to adjust. We are very satisfied!

Very pleased with care Mom is receiving. Impressed with amount of staff available for assistance. Food is top notch but standard selections are unchanged which makes me wonder if the very long term residents are a little tired of it. Only one daily special is new. Would recommend

The Belmont Village Thousand Oaks was a lovely tour. It is a beautiful community. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. My friend had some concerns regarding the memory care security. Not the right fit.

The staff have been wonderful at this community. The food is good and they do offer outings to restaurants for lunch. They have daily activities and the community is very clean. The community has large windows and is bright and airy. I would recommend this community.

After having a tour this community became my second choice. However after some consideration and seeing other communities, it is far for me and it would be difficult for me. I would be dealing with traffic.
