Testimonials
Monica P.
Family of Former Resident
The Carmelite Sisters lovingly provided our mother, Maria, with compassionate medical and spiritual care while at Marycrest Manor. The Sisters and their excellently trained medical staff directly tended to Maria hourly, assessing her medical needs, praying with her and for her, and comforting her during her debilitating and terminal neuro-degenerative disease.
Most importantly, the environment provided Maria with dignity and the opportunity to meaningfully connect with others during her challenging journey. A touch of the hand, a small prayer during the day or in passing – it is the small things that can make a great difference in a patients’ day. My family took great comfort in and was greatly comforted by, the quality of medical care our mother received at Marycrest Manor.
In Maria’s final days, the Sisters and medical staff always helped the family navigate the tough medical decisions and issues that often arise; at every step, we felt guided, supported, and well-led to make the best medical and spiritual decisions for our parent during her final days
The sisters stand, in loving joy, as a beacon of compassionate care to families in need; our family remains forever grateful for the privilege of having our mother in their care.

Marycrest Manor has been a godsend for my mother and our family. God was obviously scouting the best facility in Los Angeles for my Mom, who accidentally landed at Marycrest after falling down and breaking her hip at age 88. Doctors at another rehab facility deemed my Mom a “failure to thrive,” and sent her home in hospice unable to walk and in a state of dementia. But my Mom staged a miraculous recovery thanks to the sisters and loving caregivers at Marycrest.
Though she still suffers from dementia and has never regained her ability to walk, our Mom is still with us, which is what matters the most! We are so grateful for the loving care of her many Marycrest caregivers, who treat my Mom with such dignity and respect. Our family is so thankful to the Carmelite Sisters for allowing my mother to live out her remaining years in peace at beautiful Marycrest, surrounded by the grace of the Lord and the sisters.

Physician at Marycrest Manor
Over the course of being a physician for nearly 30 years, I truly value the collaboration of the interdisciplinary team, with each member from different disciplines coming together and working with a shared goal of helping patients live as long and as well as possible. This is what we have here at Marycrest where I am proud to be part of the team who sees their work as a mission to serve and seeing Christ in the patients under our care.
