Carmel Village

I recently attended Carmel Village's Open House and was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was! The landscaping is beautiful with lots of areas to be outside, the variety of 1 bedroom options were great, the buffet food was delicious but maybe most importantly was how welcoming the staff was and how happy the residents were! The Marketing Director took me on a thorough tour, explaining that they also offer Memory Care and I left feeling this is where I would have my Dad move if he relocates in California. Carmel Village is a wonderful community with lots of options!

My dad has been here for a year!! I cannot say enough great things about this wonderful place my dad now calls home!! The dining experience here is over the top fantastic!! The chef and her crew do an amazing job. Every meal from breakfast to lunch to dinner to all the snack times in between are amazing!! I have joined my dad for many a meal and even brought family here as well —- everyone is thrilled about how good the food is!! Thanks Chef Terry for all of your culinary delights!!

Carmel Village is a warm and welcoming community with a dedicated team that goes above and beyond for their residents. As a professional partner, I’ve seen firsthand the compassionate care and commitment they provide. The management team is responsive, supportive, and truly focused on enhancing quality of life. A wonderful place for seniors and a great partner in care!

If you are in ideal health; and fit and able as a 30 year old, Carmel Village could work for you. But if you want working elevators and would like at least adequate care; and would like more activities than basically bingo, stay way from Carmel Village. Additionally, meals here are less than satisfactory. An UPDATE to my review: fairly recently, the staff here has tried to improve this place a lot; they have succeeded admirably. The courtyard has added more concrete areas, which are easier to traverse; the activities staff has added more entertainment, social gatherings, and presentations , as well as some classes, which are really pleasurable; the holiday decorations are really imaginative for all holidays; and the dining staff is trying very hard: the food overall is much better, and serving staff try to be prompt and professional! The grounds are open and lovely, and kept up well!

I would highly recommend Carmel Village as a place to receive excellent care for your loved one. My mom has been at Carmel Village for 8 years, the past 5 in Memory Care so I have personally experienced the amazing loving care they provide. Over the last year the Memory Care executives have focused on building a new, stronger foundation by expanding and reinforcing more specialized programs in activities, exercise, direct care regimens and so much more! Laura Sanchez, Health & Wellness Director/Nurse is phenomenal in listening to family members needs and looking at the "unique" needs of each individual. Laura does everything in her power to ensure that she and the staff meets both the family and loved one's needs. Lastly, we all know those "unique" needs constantly change and Laura opens up a wonderful communication channel for the family members to connect with as this new life unfolds. Thank you to Laura and the loving, caring staff for taking such good care of my mama!
