What this means for your family
This facility offers excellent activity programs and a clean environment, which many families appreciate.

Questions for Your Tour
- 1I noticed that your team is very active in responding to online feedback; what is the best way for families to maintain that same level of open communication with the administrative and social work staff once a resident is admitted?
- 2Given the importance of consistent medical oversight during rehab, could you walk me through how your clinical team coordinates pain management plans and ensures doctors are updated on a resident's daily progress?
- 3With a capacity of 120 residents, how do you ensure that staff response times remain prompt and that individual needs are met consistently throughout the day and night?
- 4I’ve read great things about your activity schedule; could you share what a typical week of social engagement looks like for a new resident looking to get involved?
- 5I see there have been some recent health inspection findings; what specific steps is the leadership team taking to address those areas and ensure the highest standard of care for residents?
- 6How do you handle the transition of care for residents who require specialized medication management to ensure there are no gaps in their treatment plan?

Key Review Excerpts
“My father is receiving care at the Lorien and he has dementia. He loves all the activities and they even have planned activities on the weekend which is great as he likes to keep busy.”
“Starting on the first night, she wasn’t given pain medication when requested (for 10-12 hours after requesting), to the point that rehab couldn’t work with her because of the pain.”
“My mother has been a resident at Lorien Bel Air for 2 years. I can honestly say that she has received excellent care. Besides getting wonderful medical care, she thoroughly enjoys all the activities that are offered through the amazing activities department.”
