The Best Assisted Living Communities in San Diego County, CA

"When our mother could no longer live alone safely, we viewed several assisted living places in San Diego to find just the right combination of comfort, services, affordability and caring atmosphere. It was immediately obvious to my family that Sunview Gardens was the best choice. The atmosphere is like a large family home with beautiful updated private rooms and bathrooms for each resident. There are community areas and activities so my mother could socialize or have her privacy according to her wishes. The staff is fantastic! We got to know them well and appreciated all the care and attention they gave our mother. We always felt she was safe and in good hands. The manager, Felicity, is a great communicator and let us know how our mother was doing and what she needed through her various stages of heath challenges. My mother even complimented the food and she was a picky eater! Honestly, I can't imagine a better experience. This was a scary time for us and Felicity and her staff made us feel so much better about the quality of life our mother could enjoy at this stage of her life. Sadly, our mother passed at age 95, but her last years at Sunview Gardens were good ones, where she made friends and lived her life with joy and dignity. I can't thank everyone at Sunview Gardens enough."

"I toured Novellus Clairemont. The rooms were very pleasant and large. They had a lot of activities going on inside a super nice dining room. The menu looked good, too. The staff who gave the tour was very nice and very helpful. It looked like a very nice place."

"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."

"We toured Belmont Village La Jolla. They were nice. It's too expensive and too much of a commute for my brother. They had activities. The food was great. They had a courtyard. They had views. They had all kinds of interactions with the residents. They had outings for the residents. They were just wonderful. The rooms were big and spacious, and the studios were wonderful."

"I visited. They gave me a lot of information. They were very nice. I didn't try any of the food, but I did see it and it looked good. The rooms were decent. There was no smell. They were clean. I saw a salon, swimming lessons, an art studio, a place where they held bingo and stuff, and a game room."

"House in gated community in beautiful neighborhood. Spacious rooms and lovely backyard. Staff works hard to customize food to residents taste. Food is homemade and healthy. Staff is amazing, very caring. Able to visit family anytime."

"Gold Canyon Care Home was nice. It looked like more of a home than a big assisted living. It looked like a family-run business that you would fit in. The atmosphere's nice. They would let my mom's dog come and they even came out to visit my mom this weekend. It's just that the price was steeper than we expected. They had a big TV room, exercise equipment, and a big deck that you could go around and that it overlooked a canyon. It was a big house. It was like two houses put together with a quarter in the middle. One house was for their family and caregivers and the other side was for their guests. It was nice looking to me. My husband thought so, too. It was in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We met the owners and they're friendly, informative, and seemed caring."

"The Christmas brunch was excellent. The food was delicious and a nice variety of dishes."

"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. "

"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 went to Belmont Village Cardiff by the Sea. We were very impressed. We made an appointment for the tour and the gal that took us around was excellent. There are no separate areas. If you go into your independent care and then you find that you're going to need memory care, you stay right in there and they bring the memory care people to you. You can get a studio or one-bedroom, or you can even get a two-bedroom. They had a gorgeous swimming pool. The staff sat with us first and went over things, and then she gave us a booklet to bring home to look at more, so she was wonderful."

"Our Dad had a stroke in early May 2023 and at 94 lost his ability to walk and take care of himself. We live in Encinitas, so wanted him to be close to us. After going to look at several Assisted Living/Independent Living Facilities we were quite surprised to find that Westmont Of Encinitas was far superior than all the others and actually was quite less in cost. The facility is just slightly over two years old and the staff is friendly, food is great and the activities are plentiful. Just in a short 2 months he is walking on his own, living in his great bright 1 bedroom apartment and going to Bridge 3 times a week, going to Ice Cream socials, and exercising and building his strength up with their great Physical Therapists. We brought him down from Costa Mesa to Westmont of Encinitas on May 25, 2023 and he is thriving in such a short time. I would highly recommend Westmont of Encinitas for any loved one. Our father is happy and social and healthy now. This facility is a 5 Stars for sure."

"The rooms are terrific, the staff uniquely committed and engaged and the food is excellent. My parents went there from Mass, after 55 yrs of marriage with my father as a burned out caregiver for my mother's parkinson's and their admissions/support team brilliantly handled Dad to assisted living (no more cooking!) and Mom to memory support with daily visits with Dad. The clinical nurses were fabulous, with a smart caring medical director. Hospice helped both transition at the end, with the superb staff."
