I toured and moved my parent in and have mostly been pleased: the staff are welcoming and genuinely caring, the place is spotless with bright, roomy apartments, good food (chef participates), on-site salon, courtyard and lots of activities, and dementia-friendly features and accessible grounds. That said, I've seen high staff turnover/understaffing, occasional communication and billing problems, and uneven memory-care quality. Overall I'm grateful for the warmth and services, but I'd advise verifying staffing levels, billing practices and memory-care details before committing.
Westmont of Brentwood is a senior living community that's been around for more than 19 years, and it sits with green views of Mount Diablo, which is a nice touch. The place offers several care choices, so seniors needing independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite, and even skilled nursing get their needs met here. Residents can choose from private or shared rooms, studios, and apartments with one or two bedrooms, many with kitchenettes, cable, internet, and emergency systems. People like being able to pick a setup that fits their budget and privacy, and pets are allowed if they fit the pet policy, so that helps some folks feel more at home.
They've got staff available day and night, and they help with medication, daily activities like bathing and dressing, and handle laundry and meals if someone needs it. If a resident needs hospice, the staff can help with that, too. For folks living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, Compass Rose Memory Care gives extra support and safety-there's also a dementia support group and grief support, which is important for many families.
Residents keep busy because the activities department plans educational programs, story time, game nights, exercise classes like yoga or Tai Chi, arts and crafts, music groups, and things like gardening, painting, tea parties, book clubs, and even mini golf and Nintendo Wii bowling. There are patios and gardens outdoors, plus a recreation room and fitness center inside for more socializing and exercise. There are religious services on-site, too, for people who want that. For quiet time or hobbies, residents can use the hobby room, theater, lounges, and the hair salon & spa.
Dining happens in a restaurant-style room, and a chef is in charge of meals, so folks get food that's fresh and tries to be healthy. Every room's got cable and WiFi, so residents can stay in touch or entertained. They let visitors come to meals, and overnight guests can stay over. The place has free transportation for residents to get to appointments or errands, and there's parking for both residents and guests.
Westmont of Brentwood keeps things comfortable and looks to make life simple, with housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance all handled. Residents can join programs that help them learn things, stay active, or just enjoy time together, which helps folks keep their bodies and minds busy. There's a recreation director and trained care staff, and people say the care staff are amazing, which is always good to hear. State licensing gives it a layer of oversight, and they help families navigate VA benefits or financial planning if needed.
With options for independent folks, those needing hands-on care, and special support for memory issues, the place aims to match care with what each person needs, all on one campus with a range of amenities and daily events to keep residents engaged if they want to be. The community tries to stay flexible and comfortable, making life a bit easier for seniors and their families.
