What a wonderful place! The online Reviews for Stellar Care are understated, this team is amazing! We had to place my father in here in July 2025 and were so impressed with the team from our first interaction with Carrie Lopez (Community Director), Annelie Damasco (Assited Living Director), Mai Truong (Resident Services Director), and Brandon Cho (Executive Director). We could immediately see how this team worked as a family, they were extremely caring for my father, and they seemed to enjoy their their jobs. These are not easy jobs and there are plenty of horror stories out their about these types of facilities, but Stellar Care is a special place. Every time we visited my father the Stellar team was so considerate and loving. He was so well taken care of. My father passed way in January 2026 and the Stellar Care team was there to help with every step, with dignity, and with love. If you are able to place a family member here, they will be loved.

My Dad has been a resident of Stellar Care since August 2025 and we are so happy with the care that he is receiving from the incredible team at Stellar Care. My Dad's physical health and cognition was declining rapidly last summer while he was living alone and his dementia was progressing. He needed all day care but the transition to assisted living was extremely difficult and he was violently resistant. He was agitated, depressed and anxious and really difficult to care for. The experienced team at Stellar Care provided us really helpful guidance to get his medications adjusted and demonstrated so much compassion and professionalism as they worked with us to help him transition a second time. I am so grateful for their care because after just a month there my Dad's mental and physical health stabilized. Despite his poor memory due to his dementia, my Dad is cheerful and warm and able to enjoy himself and we get beautiful time together when we visit. All staff are always so warm and caring - during my first visit, someone from the maintenance crew came into my Dad's room just to say hi and give him a fist bump and my Dad's response made it clear to me this was a regular occurence. They have a solid system for tracking the location of all residents and passing them between team members to escort my Dad around for meals and social activities. The staff is really responsive to questions. There is a great conference room for our large family to gather in when we visit for special occasions. I highly recommend Stellar Care as a home for your loved ones that need assisted living.

Very disappointed with this facility. I saw a staff member slap an elderly resident, and nothing was done. They also don’t allow people to speak their own language and treat non-English speakers unfairly. This place is unsafe and discriminatory.
