Review for Park Terrace

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice grounds and atmosphere. Too much emphasis on happy hours and parties. Restaurant staffing is a problem and dinner service is very slow.

Needs improvement

They are challenged to keep servers in the restaurant. The service is slow and inconsistent. My parents have to wait an hour to eat sometimes after they are seated. It is unacceptable and I have expressed my concern with the management team.

Profit over people

Avoid KISCO and Park Terrace at all costs! The director, (who is still there) raised my mother's care level price and moved her up to the next care level EVEN THOUGH HER CARE NEEDS DID NOT CHANGE. He rudely and stubbornly would not bend. I filed a complaint with the County and they asked my permission to escalate the complaint to the State Office in Sacramento. I said yes. Both of my complaints were SUSTAINED. I moved Mom somewhere else. The Orange County attorney for Senior Social Services called me and thanked me personally for all of my efforts which exposed and protected vulnerable seniors at Park Terrace who were being financially taken advantage of.

Perfectly Park Terrace

Park Terrace immediately impressed me (as well as my sister) not only because of the extremely friendly staff, but because of the arrangement and amenities available for the memory care residents. The park-like outdoor community area is AMAZING. The community is pet friendly, which has been a priority for our family and mom. Her dog is such a therapy dog, now not only for my mom, but other pet-loving residents. I was particularly impressed by not only the initial conversation with the director who listened to what we needed for our mom and provided immediate recommendations for the memory care cottages. the director spent 3 additional hours of time sitting with me answering all of my questions with a level of understanding and knowledge - communicating clearly and effectively. Staff is wonderful, friendly, and open to problem solving and diverting to hep residents have a great experience. Overall, this is the absolute best memory care facility we toured/found - really catering to the needs of each resident. We couldn't be happier with our choice, and the transition of mom into memory care

home for mom

I am very happy with our experience with the staff and lengths they have gone to make our mother feel comfortable and adjust to her new home. Mom is very happy and comfortable with activities, new friendships. Staff address any concerns we have in a timely manner. I couldn't be happier with our choice of community
