Review

Daniel and Carmen Datcu and their dedicated staff at the Anaheim Hills location of Select Senior Care consistently impressed families with their warmth, professionalism, and hands-on care. Across several heartfelt accounts, the care team is described as attentive and capable, cooking nutritious meals, helping with daily tasks, administering medications, and ensuring residents' safety. The staff are portrayed as more than caregivers - they are a steady presence that makes both residents and visiting family members feel secure and welcomed. In one family's words, mom was content there, with no complaints, and visits were always met with a friendly greeting and timely updates about her well-being.

The shared experiences reflect a deeply challenging period when a once-active couple faced the gradual loss of independence. The father's slow-onset Alzheimer's and the mother's diabetes, blindness from macular degeneration, and a major stroke created a complex care scenario that most families dread. After trying several options, this family found a sustainable solution in Daniel and Carmen with Select Senior Care. They moved their parents into the Anaheim facility in December 2022, and although the transition was not without its difficulties, the staff worked closely with the family to navigate the ups and downs. The level of coordination and empathy shown during that time left a lasting sense of reassurance for everyone involved.

What stood out repeatedly was the combination of professional, patient care with a focus on quality of life. The facility was praised for providing not only medical and daily living support but also engaging meals and entertainment that contributed to a safe and pleasant environment. The staff's ability to keep families informed - greeting them on each visit and offering timely updates - provided essential peace of mind during uncertain days. Even as the mother's condition grew more complicated, the team's ongoing support was a constant source of comfort for the entire family.

The experience of loss and adjustment over time is another thread woven through these stories. The mother passed away in August 2023, and while that loss was devastating, the family found solace in knowing she received compassionate care during her final months. The father, meanwhile, has remained stabilized and very content at the home, underscoring the lasting impact of a care environment that prioritizes both dignity and comfort. The family remains grateful for the professionalism, patience, and kindness the staff showed as they faced one of life's most trying periods.

Additional accounts highlight the personal, almost familial bond that developed with the team. A mother who lived a little over a year in the facility benefited from care described as outstanding and loving during her dementia progression. The family emphasized that they could visit anytime and spend as much time as they wished, a flexibility that allowed them to be present during the mother's last days. They could not have asked for a better place for her final chapters, reinforcing the sense of home-like support that Select Senior Care provides.

Specific praise for individuals in the Anaheim Hills home is also notable. Edith's family spoke highly of the care she received in her last month of life, mentioning Carmen (the house manager) and Chris as staff members who treated Edith "as if she was family." The meals were described as delicious, and the overall environment as lovely and welcoming. The glowing recommendations from Edith's family reflect a broader pattern of compassionate, family-centered care that residents and their loved ones consistently notice and value.

Taken together, the stories convey a strong trust and appreciation for the leadership of Daniel and Carmen Datcu. Families describe them as wonderful to work with, deeply compassionate, and genuinely devoted to the well-being of every resident. The facility is characterized as a special, clean, and respectful board-and-care home where caregivers treat residents like family. Across the board, these testimonials emphasize the difference that attentive, heartfelt care can make during the hardest chapters of aging and illness, and they express sincere thanks for the care that helped both parents and their extended families navigate difficult times with dignity and grace.
