City View is amazing - from the beautiful decor and meticulous upkeep to the terrificfood. Most importantly, it's the caring staff that make it the best choice we could have made for my mother-in-Law. From the administrator to each and every caretaker - this is a highly professional and genuinely devoted staff. Activities daily and visiting entertainers/ teachers make a huge contribution. So thankful to have found City View.  Read Less

My mom was cared for at this facility as an Alzheimer's patient.  It's actually quite lovely however I have learned that simply being visually appealing did not provide a good environment for her.  They had absolutely no activities in the Memory Care area.  No stimulation whatsoever.  This resulted in a drastic decline in her social interaction.She was given someone's meds for diabetes.  My mom doesn't have diabetes.  That resulted in spending a night in the ER.  Thankfully that was the worse of it.She was kept in a wheelchair unless in bed.  I have since learned how damaging that was to her posture and overall health.When I visit her she smelled of urine.  I asked on several visits to have her changed and due to negligence she still smelled because her pants were soaked.  How long had she been left in that state?We moved my mother to a new facility that noted that she had bed sores.  This was never mentioned to us by anyone at City View.  The new facility has been attentive to them and they are gone.  The new facility has made so many changes in her care that her posture is corrected.  She actually sits up straight again.  They talk to her and stimulate her to where she responds to questions again.  I can't be thankful enough.  We believed that we'd made a good choice in selecting City View Villas.  Based on what I now know, I would not recommend CVV to anyone whose loved one has Alzheimer's.  Read Less

I have had to look for assisted living for my father and stepmother several times in the last few years. At this point, I know what to shop for. In LA, the options generally fall into two categories: very nice looking and extremely expensive, and passable-to-yucky and less expensive. City View Villa is in a category all its own. Very nicely appointed with good size rooms, this place is quite elegant and upscale without being stuffy. And yet the fees are far less than its fancy competitors. FAR less.At this time, City View is accumulating residents. When they have filled, I expect the fees will go up a bit. This means it's an excellent time to take advantage of the low rates. In addition, there are still rooms to choose from -- you won't be stuck with something.City View is close to Cedars, which is an excellent hospital. Also, there is a physical rehab center right next door, making it easier to transition from hospital, to rehab, to home. When one parent is making that transition, the other can easily visit.The staff are incredible. Professional, patient, kind. I do not have to worry about my parents, I know they are in good hands! The staff are also supportive of me personally, which makes the challenges of helping elderly parents easier.I'd also like to mention a few things that visitors may appreciate. There is good parking. The food is good. And they can rent you a room so you need not stay in a hotel. Being an out of town visitor, I was tickled to see how close City View is to the Hollywood walk of fame and a certain tattoo place made famous by its TV show.I highly recommend City View Villa.  Read Less

I met with, toured, spoke at length with, and even called and spoke to client/family references regarding CityView for the care of my mother.  Like everyone else on this site that may be considering a facility I take it very seriously and read all the reviews everywhere and also call references and speak with them at length.  I encourage you to do so and to read the data for "City View" on the CA Dept. of Social Services website.  It is listed under two words with their address on La Brea and matching License #.   There are NO citations.  NO complaints.  Do not mistake them for other City Views in other cities.  In no way did I find this assisted living/memory care facility to be anything but the excellent home with a superior caring staff so predominately spoken of.  The Executive Director, Murielle Chocron, was kind, professional, and did not have an "air about her" as some other reviewer stated.   It is obvious that Murielle is very intelligent, educated, and knows what she is doing plus she is very compassionate and sincere.   I don't know about you but that is the kind of director I want to see where my mother lives.  I've now seen and toured over a dozen facilities and my mother has lived at several.  Unfortunately, her disease is progressing more than one can imagine so I've had to move her as it progresses.  It is heartbreaking. Because the negative reviews did not match what I was hearing or seeing, I decided to do my own research on these negative reviewers themselves.  I suspected that they must be coming from the same disgruntled family group and I guess their friends since the date range is exactly the same.  And that is when I discovered that 95% of their other Yelp reviews for other establishments (everything from restaurants to store owners to vendors) are beyond negative & critical of everything including the Post Office.  This is ridiculous and unfortunate that there are people who find the need to basically slander an establishment for their own enjoyment.  To be clear, I very seriously considered CityView and their Memory Care facility.  In fact, I was about to move her there.  The only reason she isn't is because my mother's doctors just told me they want her now to be at a much smaller residential home with 4-6 residents only as her disease is unfortunately progressing quite quickly.  More so than I realized.  If this was not the case she'd be there.   Do not let the negative reviews mess with your head.  It is an excellent facility.  Do your research.  I highly recommend it.  Read Less
