Gardens at Escondido felt like the right place for my husband. There were so many things that he liked. They had outdoor garden areas where they had equipment for sweeping (he loves to sweep) and then they had a movie theater. They also had Christian programming. They had Bible studies and Sunday services. Those were things that were very attractive to us. They also have a visiting podiatrist, which is pretty helpful. Then my husband has a private room and private baths at half the cost of similar facilities in the San Diego County area. He loves it and one of the highlights of this place is the cleanliness. They keep everything very clean and he loves that as well. We like the residents. They all look out for each other. It's so sweet. They're very, very precious (this is in their memory care department). We just love them. It feels like home. I'm a very healthy cook, and some of the food, in my opinion, is not the healthiest for seniors. There's too much sodium/high salt content in a lot of them. It is not particularly good, but it's fairly well- balanced. Every lunch (because that's the time I'm usually there), they have soup, a main dish with a side, and a dessert. So, that's good and snacks can be ordered when someone is hungry, but the food could be more nutritionally chosen for senior diets. That would probably be one of my few cons. Another one is that some of the caregivers, to me, are not quite as attentive as they need to be as to what's going on with the people. Some of them are outstanding, others not so much. They have excellent activities, but not so much for the memory care people.

I toured Gardens at Escondido. The room was beautiful, clean, and nicely proportioned. It was a nice facility. They had a rooftop garden, a library, and a bistro for coffee and socializing. The library and the garden were maintained by the residents, and so you can tell that there are a lot of positive activities going on. There was bingo going on, and they showed us a huge calendar of all the activities that they provide the residents. The staff were lovely. A lady took time out of her day, not knowing whether we were coming or not, and she was very sweet, energetic, and positive. You can tell she enjoyed her job.

My wife has been at Gardens at Escondido since the 3rd of October. It has a homey atmosphere. We decorated her room with familiar items. She has her own bathroom. It's nothing fancy, but it's familiar stuff to my wife. The staff seemed to be caring and helpful people. When somebody wanders around, they take them by the hand and distract them. The residents watch movies and they take them out on a field trip on a bus. My wife does quilting which she likes to do, and they do exercises too. At this point, I like what I'm seeing.

Was a bit worried with the situation at first but as soon as we walked in it was obvious my grandma was in good hands. Very clean, all staff was friendly and helpful. I look forward to my next visit.

I took the whole tour. The room was a little smaller than what my mom was looking for, but it was nice. The staff was very nice and informative too. They have a tiny courtyard outside and I was given a box of muffins for the tour.

It is a smaller-sized community, which is something we were looking for. It has a memory care unit and a great staff. They have a lot of activities daily and a salon, which I think is important.
