“Staff is Friendly attentive to residents. Seems like a caring atmosphere but only been here once. I am very observant and ask lots of questions.”
“I am a patient here. Adrian was my first CNA here. He always smiles and makes you feel at home. He always makes my day. I've had wonderful interactions with Gigi, Jose, JC Breanna, and Diana C. The CNA team here at Whittier Hills is resounding and dependable. Thank you for your help thru my wellness journey.”

About these figures
Computed on October 21, 2026 from the 20 communities listed in Whittier, 1,040 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
