    Bed bugs roaches urine smell

    I regret placing my loved one here. I personally found bed bug and roach infestations, a pervasive urine smell, roof leaks, broken A/C and call bells, and smoking permitted inside - overall cleanliness and safety were severely lacking. A few staff were kind and professional at first, but most seemed overworked, assistance was often delayed, and management appeared focused on cost-cutting; the owner was rude. I did not feel safe and would not recommend this facility.

The place takes both Medicaid and Medicare, so it's more reachable for different folks, and they've gone and made sure to offer transportation services, proper parking, and even home care services for those who want to stay at their own home but still get daily help from a trained aide, and for the residents on site, the staff is friendly and ready to provide housekeeping, laundry, and family support, which makes things go smoother. There's regular daily activities for anyone who wants to join in, and Antelope Valley Retirement Villa's got a large activity room, fitness programs, music programs, arts and crafts, a movie theater for film nights, a game room, resident-led activities, as well as outdoor walking paths and big patios, and folks can visit a community garden or relax in plenty of green outdoor spaces, adding to the calm atmosphere, plus the facility is pet-friendly so you can have your companion here if you want.

The library, spa/wellness room, and fitness room give everyone a few more places to spend their time, and the staff support memory care needs with special areas designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's also independent living options for people who are still active and enjoy social life without the hassle, all in a community dedicated to steady, consistent care.
