I highly recommend this beautiful, ideally sized facility - staff are friendly, professional and accommodating (bilingual nurses, daily LVN visits and medication reminders), meals are hot with diet accommodations, and activities are good. Service is fast and caring despite occasional laundry mix-ups; shared rooms are $1,100, visiting hours 7am-3pm, no pets, full occupancy. - Ophrie Tugaff
Blue Sky Manor sits on North Wilshire Avenue in Anaheim, and it offers many types of care for seniors, so you'll find assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and adult care home options all under one roof, which some folks do appreciate because needs can change over time and this place has a way of adjusting to them. People living there get access to help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and medication, so if someone values independence but needs a steady hand now and then, staff are around all day and night, and some private bedroom spaces even come with little kitchenettes for those who want some familiar comforts of home, and they also have a wellness center with a nurse on duty full time and that really helps people feel safe, especially those with special needs like diabetic care, oxygen, wound care, or even those who've had surgery and need to recuperate a bit before heading home again, plus they offer help with home health services, IV medicine, and coordinate with therapists for physical, speech, and occupational needs, so it's a very thorough setup for medical and physical support.
With memory care, Blue Sky Manor has extra safety steps, like a locked facility and spaces made to help residents with Alzheimer's or dementia feel secure and less confused, and you'll see staff working hard to keep things joyful and welcoming, which can go a long way, and they have amenities like indoor common areas, a recreational room, an arts room, and community lounges for socializing or relaxing, so there's always a way to get involved, whether it's movie nights, resident-led activities, or arts and crafts, and the place is pet-friendly-which means both cats and dogs can stay-so if companionship from a furry friend helps, that's an option. Food isn't overlooked either, as meals are made with quality ingredients, cooked to taste good, and made to fit special diets like diabetic or allergy-sensitive, and everyone eats together in a dining room that feels like a restaurant, and there's always help nearby if someone needs it.
Blue Sky Manor's environment is clean, comfortable, and friendly, with spaces set up to make moving around easy, and services like housekeeping and laundry take a load off residents so they can focus on what matters to them, and with garden spaces, walking paths, a barber and salon, and even an indoor patio for non-smoking, there's time and space for everyone to take a breather or spend an afternoon enjoying a quiet part of the day. Transportation is arranged when needed, with complimentary rides and help setting up medical or dental appointments, plus respite care gives families a break when they need it. Help comes in the form of a kind, joyful team, and the support staff is quick to provide answers or offer care at all hours, so everyone, whether they like group activities or a bit of peace and quiet, can find what they need at Blue Sky Manor, and their website offers more details for anyone who wants to learn about their social care programs and what life's like in their community.
