My parents have been living at Walnut Village for two years. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the place. The facility is as beautiful as a retirement community in Anaheim can be. The grounds are pleasant and well kept. My mom and dad's apartment has a good layout (2 bedrooms/1.5 baths) and was completely repainted and carpeted to their design (within limits) at move-in. It's a very nice place to hang out. There are two restaurants; one for casual lunch and a second for formal dinners. The food and selection at both are very good. But the best part about this place is the staff. The people (from gardeners to nurses, to admin.) that work there are all super helpful, and seem to genuinely care about the tenants and their families. I wish there was a more active social scene. There are plenty of classes and planned activities, but they seem sparsely attended. This probably has more to do with the clientele than the facility. Most tenants are pretty well off and probably not accustom to fraternizing with their neighbors, much less apartment living. WV is quite expensive. So, doing a detailed analysis of your finances is critical. But if the numbers work out, I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better place to spend the last few years of your life. Note that WV is not for freshly retired and active seniors. It's more suited for the final third of your golden years.

Do not go to this place. They are only in it for the money grab from your loved ones. My mother was found on the floor over 20 times. Unwitnessed Falls they called it. Rails on the bed but she was still found on the floor. Strapped in her chair but still found on the floor. Always Unwitnessed. For a 24 hour locked nursing facility they sure had a lot of unwitnessed things going on.

Because of my husbands work in sr. housing, I have seen a lot of sr. communities. Having visited Walnut Village I can say it is one of the nicest, cleanest and most well designed places I have seen. Being right next door to Disneyland is a plus for anyone with grand kids.

I have seen many places who care or provide housing for seniors. Walnut Village is one of the top places I have explored (staff that go the extra mile to help and serve; smiles and happy people every where I walked; great food and activity options, great health care and a drop dead gorgeous facility and gardens). The Best!
