Freedom village retirement community Review

I and my wife moved into Freedom Village two months ago. Before that, we have compared various CCRC around southern California for couple years. We decide Freedom Village fits our needs the best. After two months of residence here, we conclude we have made right decision. Living here, It feels more like a big family here instead of a retirement center. All residents and workers get along so well. We are lucky and hope every elders could live in a place like Freedom Village and be taken care for the final stage of one's life.

My Mom's has been at Freedom Village since the Fall of 2019. The staff is amazingly friendly and sincerely & seriously committed. Freedom Village responds to all our family's concerns when voiced .... Paramount is the resident's safety; and --- I can say that at each & every point of interface (especially in this Covid-19 lockdown environment) --- that the safety of all residents is the primary focus. And. There is a saying that an army marches on it's stomach, and --- the food at F.V. is amazing. My 98 year old Mom is a fairly picky eater, and --- all I hear is raves from her about the food (especially the soups). We as a family did our research, and while perhaps there might be homes/facilities that are nicer in terms of a physical building , well, you will not find a better place when it comes to the actual boots on the ground staff that make it all happen. (an interesting metric is the employee turnover - when we looked into this a year ago, I believe the average employee has been at Freedom Village for over 13 years). Happy staff = happy residents..... bottom line, all things considered, we as a family are very pleased with Freedom Village.

I love living in Freedom Village. All the employees are friendly, helpful and call you by name. It is so wonderful being able to get an immediate response to any problem we might have. The meals are A Plus everyday and offer a super array of choices. There are so many varied activities offered that it is impossible to be bored unless one chooses to be. I have lived here a few months short of 5 years and I highly recommend Freedom Village as a place in which to live the final years of ones life.

It has been a nice two two months at Freedom Village. I moved in December 2019 and have not regretted my decision to move here. All the staff are very personable and will help you whenever you have a question or there is a situation that may require repair work to your unit. There are many activities planned weekly that residents may pick and chose to participate in. Transportation is always available with prior reservation to local hospitals/doctors, etc. Residents are very cheerful and happy which keeps the atmosphere positive and upbeat..

This place is Awesome !! Allie and Laura from "Personal Care and Memory " are truly wonderful people who care so much. Not sure what we would have done without them helping my Dad out.

Wonderful facility in Lake Forest, CA where my grandmother spent the last years of her life. Attentive nursing staff, clean and well managed, with nursing and memory care on premises. Activity program for residents is excellent!

I have moved to Freedom Village 1 year ago and I love it. I am 81 years old , widowed for 17 years with no children. I realized , as older I got , I started to have some health issues. Visiting Freedom Village and dealing with Staff I had wonderful feeling of love and care, they are going to provide for me ,when I needed. They are giving me peace of mind . Everybody here embraced me with smile and care and what else can I asked for. I am recommending them with highest regards.

Friend stays there and it's a nice facility. Currently meals are brought to rooms and left set down at the outside of the door. A knock, open the door and food is thus delivered.

Our aunt has been a resident at Freedom Village for over 15 years. Until recently she was in her own independent living apartment where she enjoyed the friendship of many other residents, healthy meals in the dining room, in-house activities and excursions to various local community events.

Recently our aunt relocated to the assisted living facility. This was a challenging adjustment for her, initially, due to lingering health issues. However, the attentive and supportive care providers made the transition a positive experience. With no local family members to monitor her care and needs the care staff and administration took steps to ensure we were kept informed, included in decisions and immediately apprised of any serious developments. All while dealing with the added constraints of the COVID pandemic.

Today our aunt is very comfortable and thriving in her new environment. While her lifestyle has change some her attitude and enthusiasm for life is as good as it has ever been. We are very grateful.

Organizations such as Freedom Village succeed or fail as a result of the effort and actions of their employees and staff. Over the years and especially during the past six months we have been very satisfied with the care and attention afforded our aunt and expect others would have similar experiences.
