The Cove at La Jolla

Meg

My husband is currently in The Cove at La Jolla (Cloisters of La Jolla) and it is excellent. The place is beautiful and the people are really kind to him. He gets physical therapy 5 times a week. It's so clean and it is a great community. The staff has been very responsive and caring, they're good otherwise he wouldn't be there. My husband is the most picky eater in the entire world, but I think the food there is absolutely fine. The place is being closed because of the corona virus so I haven't visited recently. It smelled so clean all over, there were no smells everywhere. The cost is at around $7000 a month which is outrageous, but it is the best nursing community around here.

The distinctive thing about the The Cove At La Jolla (Cloisters) was they were training nursing assistants, physical therapists, and speech therapists. They were training a lot of young people, so every time someone came, there would be a group coming. It felt altogether crowded. The rooms weren't large and the halls weren't large. There were just a lot of people. When the flu appeared, my husband's roommate had the flu and the family and I were instructed to enter the room with a yellow gown, a mask, and gloves, but the roommate's family refused to do it and it was very scary. He was readmitted to the hospital from The Cove and I didn't want to return him there. The food was adequate.
