Our Family's Experience

We like the concept of memory care cottages with common garden area. Residents have their apartment and can freely walk outside cottage around the grounds without feeling locked in

Review for Park Terrace

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice grounds and atmosphere. Too much emphasis on happy hours and parties. Restaurant staffing is a problem and dinner service is very slow.

Needs improvement

They are challenged to keep servers in the restaurant. The service is slow and inconsistent. My parents have to wait an hour to eat sometimes after they are seated. It is unacceptable and I have expressed my concern with the management team.

Profit over people

Avoid KISCO and Park Terrace at all costs! The director, (who is still there) raised my mother's care level price and moved her up to the next care level EVEN THOUGH HER CARE NEEDS DID NOT CHANGE. He rudely and stubbornly would not bend. I filed a complaint with the County and they asked my permission to escalate the complaint to the State Office in Sacramento. I said yes. Both of my complaints were SUSTAINED. I moved Mom somewhere else. The Orange County attorney for Senior Social Services called me and thanked me

Perfectly Park Terrace

Park Terrace immediately impressed me (as well as my sister) not only because of the extremely friendly staff, but because of the arrangement and amenities available for the memory care residents. The park-like outdoor community area is AMAZING. The community is pet friendly, which has been a priority for our family and mom. Her dog is such a therapy dog, now not only for my mom, but other pet-loving residents. I was particularly impressed by not only the initial conversation with the director who listened to what
