I visited this facility
As an independent caregiver, I have visited multiple VITAS facilities in both Los Angeles and in San Diego. Last summer during my visit to San Diego to take care of this particular client, I went to the San Diego location and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
The staff here are very compassionate and understanding about the situation that the client is dealing with. Most elderly stay here during the end-of-life phase, and VITAS has always impressed me with the programs that they provide to both the client and the client's family.
My client in-particular enjoyed card games and bingo. They had a nice area where clients could visit with each other and with their visitors. He had no complaints with the facility or the staff; and seemed to enjoy his stay here very much.
I would highly recommend VITAS to anyone in the LA or San Diego area.
I am a past client of this provider
This organization saved my life as I had been struggling alone with my husband's care. Vitas nurses and care givers came in and assessed his situation and guided me through his final days. They were kind, caring, patient, and took the stress of my husband's care off of me right in our home. I cannot say enough praises about this organization. They were absolutely wonderful! They provided consuling, and grief groups following his passing. It has been one year since my husband passed and I still attend the grief group they have provided, free of charge, as it was wonderful to meet people who were struggling with the same emotions and fears that I was dealing with. My only regret is that I did not call Vitas sooner.
