"I toured Westmont of Escondido. They were pretty much all-inclusive as far as my needs were. I liked all their facilities. It was well taken care of. The man I spoke with mentioned that a lot of the staff have been there for a long time, and that's good, too."

"I toured. I liked the facility and the environment was very pleasant. I liked the staff. They are friendly. We met a lady who had lived there for ten years, and it's good to hear from the residents there. We got a really good tour and Shaun was really good. He was very helpful and answered a lot of questions. I like the amenities they offer. The environment looks clean and sociable. They have a salon, a game room, and an exercise room. They have a movie theater room and a lounge where the residents can listen to music. They have a baby grand. They have an area where you can have coffee and a cafe. I didn't see a courtyard, but in the front of the facility there is a covered patio and I'm sure they come out there. They have quite a few outings planned within the month. It's a nice place. It is small and limited in terms of respite care. They do not offer a trial. My mother could have stayed there for maybe a weekend to see how it feels and how she likes it, but they don't have that set up."

"We toured Gardens at Escondido. It's a wonderful place. I would highly recommend it. I like it a lot. It's like a well kept cul-de-sac place. The hallway was like a hotel, the hallways, the library, and all these different places that people could go in, and the people there were just very friendly. They enjoy being there. The staff was very wonderful and all the staff that we talked to went out of their way to be friendly, asked if we needed anything if we had any questions, and showed us several different areas like a one-bedroom or even a two-bedroom unit, that kind of thing. It was just impressive. The memory care, they took us through there. It's really nice to have an outdoor place that's safe for them to go out even though it's on the third floor. They have trees and stuff like that where people could go out and enjoy being outdoors but being safe outdoors, which I liked. The freshly baked cookies were good. We enjoyed those."

"I toured Las Villas Del Norte. Everything was outstanding, and for the price, that was even more so. You get a lot for your money out there. They were very helpful. What I liked about this place was that they completed an assessment without the upfront charge. They had more than one group doing different things. They had a lovely pool. They told me that they went out in the community frequently. They seem to have a lot of scheduled activities for the residents every day."

"I thought Redwood Terrace was amazing. I liked their core values, and I thought it was just great. They had something like cocktails and conversation and it was like they had some snacks, beverages, cocktails, and mocktails and whatnot. The coordinator was the one who assisted me with the tour. She was talking to so many people and she just took the time for everybody. She was pretty thorough and quick, but she took the time to show us an available unit. The apartments were like cute little bungalows, and that's what they called it. They had a courtyard and they offered haircuts and manicures once a month. Their core value was that when you buy into a bungalow or a unit, they had some kind of fund that if you outlived your money, you would not get kicked to the curb. I was amazed by that. It was reasonably priced, but then everybody would pay into that fund. They called it the Benevolent Fund. They had some hors d'oeuvres and cocktails when we were there, and my dad tried the cocktails."

"We chose Splendor Valley for my mother. They'll do anything she wants to do. They take really good care of her. I've gone to see her several times, and I've been very happy with it. This is a small house with, I think, 6 people. And they have caretakers and the owners, Mark and Marissa, live on-site. So, there's always a lot of people around. They get her dressed and she goes and sits in the family room combination kitchen. She always gets to watch people, which is what she likes. Other people have families come and go, and she just gets to see everything. They get her up, they help her shower and get dressed. They give her her meals and her medication. They do everything for her. The place is very, very nice. They have a gazebo where she can go outside. And if she has guests, you can sit outside with her. I looked at a lot of places, and this is by far the nicest. She just has a small room. It does have a door that she can open out to the gazebo, which is very nice. She has her La-Z-Boy chair and her hospital bed. She has her large TV, but she likes to go watch TV out in the family room. There's another lady that sits out there and watches TV with her."

"The staff at Villa Monticello Assisted Living is wonderful. Its a very small community with only 29 residents. The food is good and they are very helpful. The assisted living and memory care unit are all together in one area. They have some little exercises, they were singing yesterday, crossword puzzles and so on. My husband has a lot of freedom there because the residents can be outside. Im very pleased with the place."

"My parents are moving into Brookdale San Marcos. One reason we chose it is that they offer respite care, which is kind of like a temporary situation. The other factor is the staff there is just amazing, super nice, and very accommodating. Everyone we met from the cleaning people, to the kitchen staff, to the executive director, were fabulous. They have a little store, a pool, and a Jacuzzi. They have a nice courtyard, like an outdoor space. They offer seven day transportation, three meals a day, laundry, and housekeeping. They have a little library. There is a little salon where you can get a haircut, a pedicure, and stuff like that. I think all those are really nice. It is not super fancy, but it is clean."

"My initial tour of Shadowridge Senior Living was fine, but it was rushed because we called at the last minute and they said the person who was giving the tour was busy. So, a nurse took us. She was super nice and showed us everything. The place seemed new. It had been redone, so it was light and bright. I went back with my mom because I had signed her up. She would have gotten a shared room. It was big, but it was dark and it was upstairs. They had an activity room. The day we went, the residents were playing bingo. The dining room seemed nice and bright, with tablecloths on the table. The facility seemed clean, but it seemed cramped once you got upstairs. I gave the salesperson the information she requested about my mom's medical records, but I never heard from her again. "

"I toured Silvergate Rancho Bernardo. It was the priciest of them all. They had really pleasant accommodations, and it's very well kept up. The staff was attentive. And from what I could see, they had a good ratio of staff to clients that were using the services. And there were plenty of recreation options that would be self-motivated. They had a lot of services like a salon, nail care, and cafeterias in multiple locations. It was pretty elaborate. The staff members were professional. The food was excellent, too."

For most Escondido seniors, paying for assisted living involves a mix of public and private payment strategies. To make long-term care accessible, residential care communities typically accept financial assistance programs such as Medicaid, Medicare and veterans’ benefits.
Homemaker and home health aide services both average at $5,716 per month, even though the latter also provides basic medical aid. However, assisted living is $1,191 less costly, despite providing accommodation with senior care support. Adult day health care centers are the most affordable option, at $1,733. The most expensive is nursing home facilities, which typically charge $10,722 for a semiprivate room and an additional $3,711 for the convenience of a private one.
