Our parents spent their last years at Belmont Villages Albany - 2 for our mother and 6 for our father - through the pandemic and beyond. We chose Belmont primarily for the residents who tend to be a lively and engaged group, and for the facilities which are bright and inviting. Our parents were also very particular about food and Belmont’s is good. We were pleased that the staff was also warm, caring and supportive. We were happy with the directorship under Jesus Gonzales Camarillo, who is quietly and patiently supportive and helpful in navigating the ups and downs of senior living. Our only complaint and warning is that it is a for-profit organization. For example, “Headquarters” instituted some “rules” and pricing around medical management that felt like extortion. Fortunately, we were able to find a compromise with Jesus’ help. However, it was a reminder that the bottom line is their profit.
