Westmont of Carmel Valley

We had to make the difficult decision to move our parents from assisted living into a memory care. I looked at several places and ultimately chose Westmont because of how the staff treated a friend who was living in memory care there and because the facilities suited my parents very well. The staff was wonderful with helping get everything set up and with helping my parents make the transition. I know they are safe and are receiving a higher level of care than they were before. My mom, especially was not thrilled about having to move, but she has not complained since she got there. The staff has been wonderful.

Westmont of Carmel Valley is a lovely senior living place on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Its location is perfect to catch the ocean breeze. It has an easy access to I-5. Close to San Diego (and about an hour, give or take the traffic conditions) to Disneyland and its surrounding museums and parks, makes it a great spot if you are considering a very nice place to live. There is a shopping center with restaurants nearby. If you golf, Torrey Pines Golf Course is down the hill. Lots of beaches nearby if you're a beach bunny (kit, doe or buck). So consider this location if you live near the area and want your loved one close by.

My in-laws have been at Westmont Carmel Valley for 5 months and have settled into this beautiful community. There is Physical Therapy available on site, which is very convenient. Diana at the front desk is always cheerful, conscientious, and extraordinarily helpful. Christina, the activities director, is funny, sweet, and dedicated. Le and Nada on the care team are very responsive and attentive. Mercedes in the main office is extremely caring and goes out of her way to do whatever she can for the residents. I have watched her work after hours on multiple occasions, and she makes herself available to residents and their families, helping with whatever issues or concerns come up, whether or not they are in her job description.

As the owner of Silver Linings Transitions, a senior move management company, we are in senior communities on a daily basis helping new residents settle into their new homes and lifestyles. Just today, I visited with one of the first residents we helped to move in more than a year ago. She told me how much she is enjoying living in the Westmont Carmel Valley community. We work frequently with Anne-Marie Coman and her move in coordinator Donelle. Anne-Marie is extremely communicative and warm and when we assist her new residents they are always extremely satisfied with her professionalism. I am also extremely impressed with her Executive Director Chad who I frequently see interacting with residents and staff and is friendly and outgoing. The community is incredibly clean, friendly and always seems to have engaging activities. I see a lot of communities, and I would consider Westmont Carmel Valley to be among the best!
