CARMEL VILLAGE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

I recently visited my mom for the day I took her out shopping and after we came back we had lunch and I must say it was so enjoyable. From the moment we sat down the welcome from the dining staff was warm and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the salmon entree and winter arugula salad, the fish was so tender and flavorful. But what I noticed more so is that the Chef came out and walked around talking to everyone, there were hugs, hand holding and lots of laughing which to me shows how close she is with the residents which made me feel so happy that my mom has someone like that when I can’t be here, I see she is cared for. I wanted to share my experience

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!!

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!

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!
