My husband suffered rapid decline from memory loss / Alzheimer's, and I struggled to navigate the world of placement options for him. When I stumbled on Forever Young (his 3rd placement) and met the owner I honestly very quickly considered him to be my guardian angel. He was very knowledgeable and confident that his home could manage and care for my husband. The home itself was immaculate and full of life and the staff was kind, caring and professional. I couldn't have been more relived that my husband would spend …

I work as a shower aide for an Orange County hospice agency, and I have been assisting Forever Young Memory Care for more than a year with our hospice patients. I want to share my experience working with Forever Young Memory Care team because it is one of a kind and families need to know this. Each time I visit the team members greet me with a smile. You can see that they like their job and enjoy caring for the residents. I am treated like a team member when I am there, which makes me feel special. The team culture…

Between my brother and I we toured 10+ assisted living and memory care communities. Visiting Forever Young Memory Care was a breath of fresh air. Before visiting we spoke with [Name removed] on the phone and he was generous with his time and not only answered all our questions, he gave us good advice. His home is clean, inviting and professionally ran. This was the first home where the caregivers greeted us and made eye contact. I was not surprised that there was a waiting list if you wanted your parent to move-in.…

I've found in the past dealings that all care facilities are different in many ways. When I spoke to [name removed], I felt good about where my brother was and where he was going to spend the rest of his life. The staff were extremely nice and genuine and safe, the facility was very nice and clean, and the food and care were excellent. My brother and I grew up in Tustin, I will always feel good about the A+ experience he had during his final DAYS OF LIFE

My mom lived at Forever Young Memory Care for 7 months before her passing this year. Our experience here was so far beyond anything we were hoping for, on every level. The owner {name removed} is a compassionate expert in the field, and he sets the highest level of care standards in the industry. The caregivers are not only very experienced at caring for residents with dementia, but the level of love and dignity they provide to the residents is unsurpassed. They make the home feel like everyone's home and are so we…

After months of care in a couple of skilled nursing facilities after my mother's stroke, it was time for her to move into a more home-like nurturing living situation. She needed more care now than her prior assisted living apartment. My sister and I were shown several board and care homes and Forever Young was a STAND OUT! {name removed} and his staff made us feel instantly at ease. The home is in a comfortable neighborhood on a large lot. {name removed} has remodeled this home with 6 private bedrooms and 3 beautif…
