Would absolutely recommend for those who need memory care
From what we have been able to see of the community it is very clean, and the staff members we have encountered are very friendly. As of lately they are starting to bring back the activities, the residents can watch movies, play games and visit with their families outside on the patio.
About the facility Villa Alamar Memory Care
Villa Alamar opened in 1996 and quickly became the golden standard of memory care in Santa Barbara, California. Its architectural features are uniquely suited for the care of residents living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia: Here, residents enjoy freedom to continuously explore and discover various sensory stimulating environments indoors and outdoors, all within the safety of the community. Safety in freedom is a fundamental need of people living with memory loss, and Villa Alamar, with its open pathways and beautiful courtyards, offers a perfect dementia care environment.
In 2018, Villa Alamar changed ownership to a local group and was given new management. At the core of our philosophy of care stands a close collaboration with family members and medical teams to achieve the best quality of care for each of our residents.
