Wildwood Canyon Villa

I moved my 87-year-old mother into Wildwood Canyon Villas a year ago and am very pleased with the quality of her care. All the employees- from the administrative support, through to the talented cooks, caregivers and medical staff consistently provide professional, friendly and empathetic care. The nurses remain in close contact with her doctor to ensure that changes in my mom’s condition are communicated clearly and in a timely fashion so that her doctor can adjust her medications accordingly. She pays a flat rate, with no additional fees for bus rides to medical appointments. The facility is always clean, with plenty of light and the chickens and rabbits in the courtyard provide a lively outing. We gather for a family dinner regularly in a private area off the main dining room and we attest to the delicious food!

From entry into Wildwood a year ago until mom's final days, the staff of Wildwood were wonderful. We are so grateful our friend recommended this place. The staff does not have a high turnover and greet residents with care. We are so thankful we were led to have our mother live at Wildwood Canyon.

I highly recommend Wildwood Canyon Villa Assisted Living and Memory Care. While my loved one resided in memory care, I walked the entire property multiple times and spoke with assisted living residents on a number of occasions. I was impressed with the cleanliness and upkeep of the common interior areas and landscaped exterior. The residents I conversed with seemed happy and made sure I knew all about their pet chickens that live in their exterior courtyard. I watched them engage in all kinds of activities and enjoy their meals in the main restaurant. The memory care unit was safe and secure and felt like an extension of the assisted living areas. My father was experiencing late stage Lewy Body dementia when I relocated him from my home to Wildwood Canyon. I selected his room, was encouraged to decorate his space with his own items from home and the staff were exceptional at helping dad make the adjustment. Dad seemed very pleased with his new place as he felt a sense of ownership. The team provided dad with his meals and general care. There was always a sense of flexibility as menu items and shower times could be adjusted per his request. Prescriptions were transferred from Loma Linda to Wildwood Canyon’s partnered pharmacy and dad’s medications were administered on site. I appreciated being able to view his medication administration records without hesitation. Communication between the staff and myself was excellent. They kept me updated anytime there was a concern and called and/or sent text messages when there were emergencies requiring trips to the ER. When the time came for hospice, the transition was as seemless as possible. Both Wildwood Canyon’s staff as well as their partnered hospice organization Prestigious, were communicative and compassionate. My dad succumbed to his illness after six weeks and during that time I felt he was in good hands with a team of professionals that allowed him to live his remaining days with dignity. I am grateful for the level of support I received as dad’s caregiver for the past five years and his only remaining relative. I never received a strange look or negative comment in describing to this staff the mix of emotions of love, frustration, worry and exhaustion I felt prior to relocating dad to Wildwood Canyon. They genuinely care about their residents and the families. While my heart breaks at losing my dad, the team at Wildwood Canyon gave us six weeks to be father and daughter instead of Lewy Body patient and his caregiver.

After seven years of being a Memory Care resident at Wildwood, our Mother recently passed away and I wanted to share an overview of our experiences. Starting with the end, we were all very touched with how they all reacted with the passing of our Mother. They couldn’t have been any more caring or emotional which was a testament to how much they loved our Mother. Looking back over the years we might not have noticed then, but it’s evident how much they care for the residents. Over the years our Mother truly enjoyed all the activities, snack cart and most of all singing with Ken! This might not sound significant to some, but we were able to take away several memories through the arts & crafts that Wildwood provided. We always felt like they always went above and beyond to make sure our Mother was taken care of. While the cost of a memory care facility can be substantial, we feel our Mother received great value. We highly recommend Wildwood!
