"I recently stopped by Belmont Village to visit my aunt who recently moved there. My cousins had had a hard time finding somewhere close, affordable and that seemed like it had good care and this was one of the few places that met all three categories (though to be fair, it seems like assisted living is just expensive all over). I was so impressed with the community - it looks more like a high end..." - Isabel

" Belmont Village Sunnyvale is a wonderful place, and I’m happy to give it a solid 4 stars! As a 54-year-old woman with a mother in their care, I can tell you firsthand how great this community is.

The memory care pro..." - Jill

"My grandmother was here back in 2017 until her passing in 2018. It was a beautiful place very very clean and she was happy. She enjoyed having the beauty shop right there, she enjoyed the two fireplaces being able to walk around safely in the hallways at night and around the complex during the day. Staff are very attentive. They knew each client. And they knew me. Each room has a refrigerator, mi..." - Sheri

The facility is spotless and well-appointed, the staff are friendly and professional, and my mother is much happier than she was at her previous retirement community.

"I took my grandmother to Oakmont Fullerton yesterday for a tour and was extremely impressed. The staff were incredibly responsive and caring, answering all of our questions before we arrived.

I would highly re..." - Dick

"My parents chose this community for its larger sized apartments. They amenities are also very helpful specially the indoor pool that my father enjoys. They have been doing really well there with all the social programs. They are quite independent right now with mainly medication management but it is good to know that they can age in place with additional levels of care. " - Luanna

"I was excited to come in for my interview at Brookdale Assisted Living, and I knew right away that this was the place for me. The home-like atmosphere and care shown by everyone made me feel like part of a family. I've been receiving great training from Brookdale, which shows they truly care about their staff and residents. I'm really looking forward to working here in Assisted Living!" -
