Assisted Living Communities in Bonita, CA

"I went to Monte Vista Village. The community itself is very old. On the right side, it is all one level, and the sidewalks are very navigable. Some of the apartments have applicant steps or thresholds to get into them, as well as some significant thresholds to get in and out of the shower. The shower facilities and the bathrooms in the rooms were tad on the small side, which might make them difficult to navigate. Overall, the room sizes were pretty large for the price, but the facilities were older. I only saw two rooms, but the two rooms that I saw had a very musty smell, which in theory could be taken care of. They probably need to remove the carpet and things like that. They have a lift chair to get in and out of the pool, which is something I did not see at the other place. If I had no other choice, if it was between the other place versus Monte Vista, I'd probably choose Monte Vista for my mom, assuming we could do something to deal with the smell. The person who gave the tour was very sweet. I did see her interact with at least one other resident, and it was a good interaction. The dining area was set up buffet style. They go through a line to pick up a tray, and they get the food. I expressed a concern that my mom wouldn't be able to deal with the tray. They said, "We have people who can serve her." It seemed fine, but I didn't see any food, and I didn't see people eating. Things are still a little bit shut down because of COVID. They are in the process of doing some renovations. They've got a lot of space. Landscaping was good. I saw a schedule of activities and it seems like they have a good selection, but I did not observe any."

"Sun and Sea Manor is a very nice place, and the people were great. It's organized and clean and had some really nice programs going on, like art, music, and movies. They had a game room where they do puzzles or play cards. They had TV for entertainment, but they also had activities, like contests, where they can socialize a little bit. They also had some nice outdoor areas that were very pleasant and really comfortable. The grounds were cared for and maintained very nicely also."

"My father-in-law was at Acorn Oaks Manor II. They were amazing. The process of moving in was very simple. The nursing care was around the clock because they had three different shifts. We had a good relationship with the nurses. They kept us updated if we weren't there. I can't say anything bad at all about them. My father-in-law was on a pureed diet. They cook meals for the patients. The building was very clean. They had a day room where they would watch television, make cookies, and interact with their patients. They can go outside. Activity-wise, some patients were mobile, and some weren't mobile. It's a very homey feeling. You're free to visit anytime. No appointments. But you have to sign in and let them know that you're there. It's 24 hours, and you can come and go when you please."

"We toured Grossmont Gardens. The size of the rooms was large. One of them even has a little kitchen. It was a nice atmosphere. Everything looked clean and taken care of. They showed the dining room, the lobby, and the spaces you could sit outside."

"We had an in-person tour of The Montera. The staff was nice and friendly. We had lunch there, and the food was great. My mom enjoyed her lunch. We also like the location. It was a little closer to where my mom lives now. There were multiple buildings, so for my mom to get to the dining hall or whatever, she would have to exit one building and go to another, and we were just concerned. My mom was kind of intimidated by that aspect. The staff was great. She followed up a couple of times before we made our final decision. She had a wealth of knowledge about the property, and she was very informative during our tour. They had activities. They had a nice outdoor area with a pond where the residents could go and have a quiet time and things like that, so that was a good addition."

"I visited Right Choice Senior Living, and then I also spoke to the owner on the phone. The owner, for some reason, didn't know that I was going to be there, so he wasn't there. One of the caregivers assisted me. The tour was good. I liked it. Edgar was the caregiver, and he seemed to be very attentive to each resident. Each resident wasn't tied to a strict schedule. The residents could go outdoors if they wanted, but no gym or library that I was shown."

"We visited the Gold Canyon Care Home. The tour was fine, and the property looked nice, but it seemed to be for people with onset dementia, which my mom is not. She just needed physical help. It seems like the patients there were more towards dementia onset and that type of thing. I don't think it'd be fitting for somebody who's got a sharp mind to be around just a bunch of dementia patients. They were professional and courteous. From what we saw, the rooms looked nice. The dining area looked clean."

They are currently staying in 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment but Lantern Crest offers studio and 1 bedroom apartments also. Lantern Crest also have several individual cottages with attached parking. All of the staff members at Lantern Crest are very friendly and polite. They are very caring and helpful. Of course there are challenges and difficulties time to time but all the staff members and management do everything they can do to solve the issues. My grandparents do not participate in a lot activities but there are quite bit of activities going on everyday. Lantern Crest has an activities app. that I have on my phone. I get notifications whenever my grandparents participate in an activity I get alerts and photos. I can also see all the activities for the day and encourage my grandparents to participate. Lantern Crest has two buildings in their community. They are building the third one right now. Lantern Crest has a pool, Jacuzzi, 2 movie theaters, 2 dining rooms, 2 bistros, several private kitchen/cooking areas, dog park, BBQ areas, small putting green. "

"My mother lived in the facility for 3 years until she passed away a few days ago. This is a great place for caring for your loved ones. My mother never said even once that she wants to go home. She loved the caregivers, food and her daily interactions with other residents. I highly recommend this facility to everyone I know."

"I toured AvantGarde Senior Living of La Jolla. The staff told me that my friend wouldn't be able to have a private room, but the papers that the social worker had sent me said that he could have a private room. The staff was awesome. It's very clean, but it is an older place. They've got it fixed up real cute, but I didn't like the shared rooms. It was a good atmosphere. It seemed like all the patients who were there were very happy. The shared room has a curtain in between down the middle, just like a hospital room. It's in a beautiful location. It's right in the middle of La Jolla. It's near the water. You can take the bus, and it drops you off right near there. It's a beautiful neighborhood that they're in."

"Belmont Village La Jolla was a beautiful facility and the food was great. All of the amenities were great. It was just that the square footage was way too small for what we would be paying. There was some ability to do art or something like that. They also had physical fitness activities. The facility was new, well thought out, and planned. The staff who gave us the tour was very helpful and very knowledgeable about their facility. All in all, a top level of service. They would provide meals 3 times a day. We had lunch there and the food tasted great, with lots of variety."

"I've had the pleasure of visiting Monarch Cottage on many occasions. I am always greeted in a warm, professional manner that sets the tone of the community. I come to visit an old friend and am always impressed with the compassion that I see in the interactions between the residents and staff. The community is beautiful, the location is great and the residents are happy. I look forward to my visits there. "
