My family and I researched many senior facilities with Memory care, Park Terrace is not only a great place for resident seniors to live and thrive, when it comes to the memory care facility it's the best- the spacious maintained grounds, the well planned Cottages, the caring Staff, a sense of independent living (apartment) with constant care, and a true sense of community living. My husband is happy, comfortable and that provides myself and our entire family peace of mind that we made a good decision for him.

My mom just moved in last week and so far absolutely loves Park Terrace. I wanted to write this review specifically to call out Jessica and the rest of the staff who have helped us from the first day I called, almost a month ago, until today, when Jessica stopped by to see my mom and see how her first week is going. This was our first time needing to move any parent into assisted living, and Jessica went above and beyond to help us understand the process and make sure we were as comfortable as possible during what was already a stressful time in our lives. Thank you Jessica and thank you Park Terrace!

Park Terrace has become a part of our family. We are very happy with the care and support for our parents. The staff is excellent and really try to do everything they can to make Park Terrace a pleasant home. A few days ago I attended the Halloween party and happy hour it made me so happy to see mom interacting with friends and the staff.

My mother is approaching her three year anniversary of living at Park Terrace. She is very happy and loves the daily activities. All three meals are supplied with a resort style or cruise ship style format. She loves the social aspect of daily activities and dinning with new friends. I have dinned with her several times and can state that the food is excellent, the dinning staff and all of the support staff are great. Great job Park Terrace.

They go above and beyond, the whole staff at Park Terrace. Rhoda is so personally invested in her clients; Geno; Ito; Reina: Mario: Juana...the staff from managers to admin, from GM to support teams, are truly as caring as for their own family members. My Dad got Covid in Jan. 2021. They watched him hourly during his first 7 days, then knew it was time to have him transported to Mission Hospital, then Laguna Hills Rehab Hospital. He needed to be gone a full month, but when he returned to Park Terrace and his wife of 30 years, it was an epic day! The staff met him out front with balloons, and banners, took my camera inside to take pictures of our folks as though it was their wedding day! There isn't enough money in the world to equal the quality of care and the peace of mind received from the staff of Park Terrace.

Park Terrace is an amazing community, filled with loving, caring, respectful and responsible staff members. My mom has been a cottage resident for 16 months and we continue to be inspired by the community itself and especially staff. Huge shout outs to Lupe, Suchila, Martha, Rhoda, Kathi, Julie, & Rana (front desk). These exceptional staff members make my mom’s experience and ours as her family the best we could ever imagine.
