Review for Lorien Bel Air

My rating has dropped because some of the discussions I had with the facility concerning my first review, have not been fixed and has gone downhill even more.. One issue was the food and the food portions. The portions are small and my father does not eat seafood due to having a shellfish allergy as a child. They said it was an easy fix and he would no longer receive seafood on his tray. My father has salmon or some other fish at least twice a week along with the same soggy peas he gets almost daily, sometimes the

Start early, write down all questions you have and see if they allow you to eat a meal as a guest in your search.

I am my father's POA for healthcare but the nurses are very hard to reach and they give very limited information. The nurses all have had atti

Short staffed

The staff was very nice, but this is an assisted living facility. My dad needed more help than they could provide. He fell multiple times a day, and had dementia so he couldn’t remember to press the call button. His acuity was too high for this facility. He passed away in the facility.

Dedicated to Exceptional Care

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care provided to my gmom during her time at Lorien Bel Air. The compassion, kindness, and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff were truly remarkable. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that her well-being and comfort were top priority. What sets Lorien Bel Air apart is the genuine concern and dedication of the caregivers. Every staff member, from the nurses & aides, dining & activities teams, laundry & maintenance staff, treated my gm

Great caregivers

Positive, friendly, comprehensive, communicative. The caregivers and staff are very nice! However there always seems to be a shortage of caregivers.

Review for Lorien Bel Air

It was one of the best places I visited. Very spacious. People were friendly. If your mom or dad has dementia they will likely need more help than what the staff can provide. I chose it because of my mom ran out of funds, they accepted Medicare/Medicaid. All assisted living locations are expensive.
