The Best Senior Living Communities in Encinitas, CA

"Hillside Garden II was very clean, professional, and very safe. The staff was attentive, kind, patient, and very understanding of the situation. They were not pushy. It was a residential board and care home with four bedrooms that were remodeled to accommodate wheelchairs and hospital beds. It just wasn't exactly what we needed at this time."

"My first impression of the facility was that it was kept in pristine condition. The whole facility was upscale and very clean, I visited around lunch time and a caretaker was preparing a stove cooked lunch. I would recommend taking a look at this facility to anyone. "

"My sister moved to La Marea Senior Living. The marketing personnel was extremely knowledgeable in the area of dementia. She's very kind. My sister's only been there for a week. All of my interactions with the staff have been very good. They've only been open for three years. It's a new building, very clean, very open, and very light. They have an outdoor courtyard where the memory care patients can come and go as they desire. The dining area is very pleasant. The rooms are very nice. Everything was just great. I saw their schedule. I did visit when they were playing a game just before dinner."

"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."

"I toured Silvergate San Marcos. It was good, and it was a thorough and nice place. Dave was very light and cool. The rooms were nice and clean, and their dining area was good."

"Westmont of Carmel Valley is a place that I would want to retire to. It is beautiful. It looks very open. It had a lot of beautiful outdoor space. I wanted to sit down and go knit with some of the women who were there. The different places to eat at looked lovely and open. It's a beautiful place where you could just retire and spend your days. It feels more kind of a resort. I liked their bar/bistro area where you could just sit for the day with a drink or a snack. It was big and bright. The downside was the price, because you have to pay for that beauty, and it's definitely on the high end, but if you had the money, that would be a wonderful place for you to go."

"They've been in carlsbad for over 20 years and have a great reputation. A friend recommended I visit and I am so happy that I chose this care facility."

The Gardens is a spacious, light-filled home that sits on a hill above the picturesque village of Carlsbad. The wonderful ocean views and refreshing breezes are surpassed by the love that pervades this home. We'retruly a "home away from home" for seniors who require sheltered care. The loving atmosphere embraces each individual because the Staff treats Residents like family members, tenderly seeing to their needs and comfort. The Gardens is a very safe environment for walking, sitting in the sun or having a meal outside since it's completely enclosed and the gates are secured. There are seven spacious bedrooms in this large home, which sits on nearly two acres of land that was formally an avocado grove. In addition to our own homemade soups and meals, there are days we will enjoy the simple pleasures of a takeout burger or a complete turkey dinner with all the fixings from a local restaurant. Reading, watching TV or videos, working on puzzles, crafts, and walks around the grounds are always available to each Resident. And, a real highlight is when we all sing together!

Bill, their maintenance director, as well as the entire staff should be commended for their thoughtfulness and work ethics."

"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."

"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. "

"My brother has been in Everest Oceanside Memory Care for more than a year. I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate the staff. They are very responsive, diligent, kind, respectful, and wonderful to my brother. He has been in a number of group homes and one independent living facility when it became apparent that memory care was the safest for him. I could not be happier with his care, honestly. He's clean, well fed, continuously monitored and they stay on top of his medications without fail. They have been a godsend to our family and my brother. Highly recommend!"
