    Warm, attentive small home care

    I placed my parent in this small (six-resident) home and have complete peace of mind - it's spotless, bright, and beautifully kept. The staff (Lee and Myriam included) are kind, consistent and attentive 24/7, handling medication, bathing, laundry, delicious home-cooked meals and engaging activities so my parent is safe, comfortable and treated like family. I highly recommend this warm, family-like facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment: The review summaries present a strongly positive overall impression of Princeville Senior Care, with multiple reviewers emphasizing excellent, personalized care delivered in a small, family-like setting. The dominant themes are consistent caregiving teams, a clean and welcoming home environment, high-quality hands-on caregiving, and a strong sense that residents are treated with dignity and compassion. Many reviewers explicitly state they would highly recommend the facility and that it provides peace of mind for families.

    Care quality and staffing: Reviews repeatedly highlight attentive, compassionate caregivers who appear well-qualified and committed. Stability in caregiver schedules and consistency of staff are mentioned as important strengths — families appreciate caregivers who know the residents and form relationships with them. Services described in the reviews include medication dispensing/management, regular bathing, laundry service, 24/7 care, and hospice-capable support. Several comments indicate the staff are organized, efficient, and responsive to family needs. The facility’s small size (around six residents in multiple reviews) supports individualized attention and a family atmosphere.

    Facilities and environment: The physical environment is frequently described as clean, bright, serene, and well-kept. Reviewers mention an uncluttered home-like atmosphere with outdoor access (a terrace with sun exposure) and overall comfort. Multiple families compare Princeville favorably against other facilities they have considered, noting the house is “top notch” and creates a warm, welcoming environment that helps residents feel at home.

    Dining and activities: Dining is a recurring positive point: meals are described as home-cooked, fresh, healthy, well-balanced, and appealing. Families note that food is both nutritious and tasty. Activities and social engagement are present and include chair yoga, bible study, and bingo; reviewers also point to social interaction between caregivers and residents as contributing to resident wellbeing. These programs, combined with attentive staff, help sustain a lively, engaged atmosphere despite the facility’s small size.

    Management and ownership: Reviewers mention hands-on owners (Lee and Myriam) and describe management as organized and responsive. Many comments indicate that staff treat residents like family, and that families feel grateful for the level of commitment from both caregivers and owners. This suggests a culture of personal involvement and accountability among leadership and frontline staff.

    Concerns and negative reports: While the majority of reviews are positive, there are isolated but serious negative allegations that merit attention. One reviewer reported disrespectful staff behavior, absence of awake staff (suggesting potential gaps in overnight monitoring), an E. coli infection and a urinary tract infection, and an allegation that falls were not reported. These issues appear to stem from a single review summary and contrast with the many positive accounts, so they may represent an isolated incident or a different expectation set. Nonetheless, they raise important questions about infection control protocols, incident reporting, communication practices, and nighttime staffing that prospective families should investigate directly.

    Overall assessment and recommendations: Overall, Princeville Senior Care is portrayed as a small, high-touch, family-style home that excels at personalized care, consistent staffing, clean facilities, good food, and meaningful social activities. The strength of reviews around compassion, dignity, and caregiver competence is notable. However, given the severity of one reviewer’s concerns (infections, alleged failure to report falls, and staff disrespect/night staffing issues), prospective families should perform due diligence: ask for details about infection-control procedures, overnight staffing and awake staff policies, incident reporting and communication processes, staff training and background checks, and references from current families. For many families seeking a small, hospice-capable, home-like setting with consistent caregivers, the positive reviews indicate Princeville is a strong option; verifying the facility’s responses to the specific negative points will provide a clearer, balanced picture.

    About Princeville Senior Care

    Princeville Senior Care sits in Seal Beach and Westminster, right in North Orange County, with two 6-bed assisted living homes that look and feel like real homes instead of big buildings, and these places fill up fast because they make people feel safe and comfortable, especially since they only have six residents in each house so everyone gets attention when they need it and people really get to know each other. You'll find memory care here for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they make individual care plans based on health, daily routines, and what makes each person comfortable, even before move-in, and with constant staff supervision and medication management, families can relax knowing their loved ones are watched over day and night, including help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and all those daily tasks that get harder with age.

    Residents spend time together in the community dining room, with meals made fresh every day, and if anyone has food allergies or diabetes, the staff prepares meals that fit those needs, and everyone gets home baked treats, which makes the place smell nice too. They organize group activities and outings to explore the area and keep life interesting, like movie nights, live music from local musicians, exercise classes, board games, and arts and crafts, and there's general counseling for anyone who needs someone to talk to. People who need rides to the doctor or dentist can ask for transportation, which does cost extra, so no one's left out when it comes to keeping up with medical appointments.

    Princeville Senior Care allows people to age in place, offering everything from independent living for seniors who just want a little extra help, all the way up to memory care and respite stays, and they make it easy for everyone to get around, since the homes are accessible for wheelchairs and feature things like wheelchair friendly showers. The houses have nice gardens outside, clean and cheerful indoor areas, furnished rooms, and both indoor and outdoor common areas, so there's always a spot for some quiet or to socialize, and there's even an on-site hair salon for grooming needs. Staff members keep the homes tidy with regular housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning services.

    The homes run as licensed Residential Care Elderly facilities, so the state checks them for safety and quality, and while they don't accept Medicare unless they've been specially certified, they work under supervision from groups like the Department of Aging or Veterans Services. Princeville Senior Care stands out for the calm, upscale environment but doesn't lose that family feeling; people enjoy shared meals, devotional services offsite, and busy days with lots of things to do, but with private, comfortable bedrooms and staff always close by to help when needed. This setting suits seniors who want to remain as independent as possible but who appreciate friendly caregivers nearby, social activities, good meals, and a secure place to call home.
