Crescendo Senior Living in Placentia receives mixed reviews from residents and their families. Many praise the facility for its cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly staff. The community is described as vibrant, with engaging activities and a supportive environment, particularly for those in memory care. Several reviewers highlight the professionalism and dedication of specific staff members, noting their efforts to make residents feel at home and well-cared for. However, there are significant concerns about the facility's management and responsiveness, particularly regarding the emergency button service, which some claim is unreliable. Complaints about frequent staff turnover, inadequate training, and understaffing are common, leading to inconsistent care and long wait times for assistance. Some reviewers express dissatisfaction with the facility's handling of resident care levels and associated costs, citing unexpected fee increases and poor communication from management. The facility's amenities, such as dining options and outdoor spaces, receive positive feedback, although some note that the rooms could use renovation. While many families appreciate the care their loved ones receive, others are frustrated by the lack of attention to individual needs and the perceived decline in service quality over time. Overall, while Crescendo Senior Living has its strengths, potential residents and their families should carefully consider these mixed experiences when evaluating the facility.

My family and I recently had to find an assisted living / memory care community for our dad. We were lucky enough to be introduced to Crescendo Senior Living, which had a great team that was very helpful in guiding us through the move-in process. Everyone from the Executive Director to the Wellness Director and Marketing Director were extremely caring knowledgeable and supportive.. Although it was challenging due to COVID, we are now confident that our loved one is being well taken care of at Crescendo Senior Living.
