I recently toured Carmel Village Senior Living in Fountain Valley and had a wonderful experience! Libby, the Sales Director, was incredibly insightful and took the time to explain all the amenities and services offered, particularly in memory care. Her passion for the residents and the community was evident. The grounds are simply serene and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere that feels like home. They even have a Certified Wildlife Habitat! Highly impressed and highly recommend!

Carmel is a beautiful and friendly place to live. All of the staff are always very helpful. It was for my husband who had dementia. Unfortunately, he never really was able to enjoy it as I hoped he would. His disease took him very quickly and he passed away. I would still recommend Carmel who are looking for a nice place. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

The staff, the food, the community services, the grounds, the cleanliness, the activities, and the overall ambience of Carmel Village more than meets the standard we have become used to. Thanks to a Seniorly Local Advisor, we moved to Carmel Village from a similar resort-style senior community at a similar cost in Arizona. I am 85 and my wife is 80. She has Alzheimer's Disease and I am her caregiver. We live together here in a sunny, bright, and cheerful apartment. It gives me great peace of mind to know that as my abilties decline, the loving and caring staff we see every day will step in as needed to provide for her increasing needs . When the time comes for her to be in Memory Care, I will be able to be with her every day.
