Belmont Village Sabre Springs

Belmont Village Sabre Springs was very nice. The people were very friendly. I liked it. It was beautiful. The staff provided quite a bit of information, answered any questions I had, and were very professional. They gave me food, but I haven't tasted it yet. The menu looked good. The place was very clean. The common area was very clean. They're renovating some stuff there now, so some of it's behind plastic and there's a lot of updating. It seems like a very new facility. I'm surprised they're even doing more updating. They have patios, a putting green, and a barbecue place. It's very nice. I saw one room on the second floor and one on the third floor. They keep everything really new. The whole place looked brand new. There's a washer and dryer provided and a big refrigerator. It looked like there's a lot of food choices.

My wife moved into the Belmont Village Sabre Springs. She is being cared for very well. They have got all kinds of activities, but my wife is not into activities. We are lacking nothing, and they are very efficient here. We are very pleased, and we are not disappointed with anything. We are very happy. They are very kind, very cordial, and very helpful. The food is good. They have a chef who's been a chef for 26 years, and he puts out some delicious food. The facility is modern, it's clean, it is comfortable, and convenient. It is well organized and close to where I live.

I toured Belmont Village Sabre Springs. I'm so pleased with what I saw and with the particular levels of memory care, since they have different levels in their program. I have a nurse coming in from Belmont to do a half-hour assessment with my dad to see if he would qualify for that program. The tour was very good and very thorough. They listened to what kind of care my dad is getting where he's at. They have a Circle of Friends program for memory care. They are the only community I know that has it; it puts memory care in the same environment as the independent living and assisted living levels. They have their own separate day programs where they end up working more on cognitive sales and such. So they don't just work on activities that anybody can do; some of the activities there are very focused on the dementia. They're also able to eat in the dining room with everybody from the independent living and assisted living communities. They also have happy hours and concerts. It's a much freer facility; they can go anywhere in their secure neighborhood area. We're hoping he'll qualify for the Circle of Friends so he could be among people who don't necessarily have dementia. The staff was great, and they seemed to be very nice. We met with them for over an hour for the tour, they were very courteous, and they go above and beyond. They also sent us home with cookies, and they were good.

My mom thrived here after a fall that left her needing more care than we could provide on our own. We looked at a lot of places, but few offered the broad array of amenities (including a swimming pool and large open grass area with walking paths). Having on-site nursing staff is another thing many places don't include, which is important if you have someone who is off balance and can fall (in California, if a resident falls and there's not a nurse on site, then they need to be sent to the hospital - we have friends who experienced this numerous times at other places). On-site physical therapy every day of the week, plus all the various classes - again, my mom thrived here and quickly regained her strength and was soon walking without the use of a walker. The staff kept us informed and up to date, and unlike some other experiences, really knew who my mom was and her personality - that is huge!! Our experience was during COVID, so this meant a more locked down feel, but even then, we could have face-to-face visits through a section of the gates the staff had set up with chairs and shade, and we knew Mom was being kept as safe as possible.

I saw both independent and assisted living facilities at Belmont Village Sabre Springs. They seemed to have recently updated a lot of their facilities, and it was pretty nice. They provided activities for the residents, and the staff seemed friendly and experienced. It just wasn't what we're looking for. They didn't have any kind of casitas for the independent living. It felt more like a hotel.

My father moved into Belmont Village Sabre Springs. It's been good. His room is sometimes clean, but sometimes we have to ask the staff to clean it, and it's a little sterile for him. He has been attending the exercise classes, but he hasn't been to the library, and he's not attending the movies in the movie room. The food has been good; we like the food, and he likes it as well.

I visited Belmont Village Sabre Springs. It's in the middle of an industrial park, and it's in a high desert area, but otherwise, it has a lot of the facilities I'm looking for. They did not have many activities, but the staff was good, and the rooms were well furnished. They have the amenities I was looking for. They have a pool, an exercise room, a fitness room, they have a number of rooms that people can use, and they have a movie theater.

My mother is a resident of the assisted living of Belmont Village Sabre Springs. Our experience so far has been OK. We've had some adjustments because there were some things that weren't working, but we talked to the director and they were able to resolve the issues. The staff has been great, they're a fabulous, and they're a really good staff. My mother is in a single apartment. In the Alzheimer's patients' area the rooms are all individual unless the residents are a couple. They do memory care activities, they have a great program and they also take field trips, go to the movies, and all kinds of things. My mother really enjoyed that part. They have great meals, although I think the portions are too large.

My mother moved into Belmont Village Sabre Springs and is now adjusting quite well. She now refers to it as the hotel, which is a good thing. With her particular level of dementia, they have created a particular program called A Circle of Friends. So they help her with her needs in the mornings, and she joins her Circle of Friends for the day. After her final meal in the evening we hired outside help for a couple of hours when she tends to have Sundown Syndrome, and they help her get ready for bed. So her whole day is pretty full, and she seems to sleep pretty well. Her circle of friends are the same every day, and are in the same level of dementia that she is. They keep them busy with activities and current activities, and they do a great job of that. The living environment is very clean and they keep it very well-maintained. The restaurant there continues to have a daily special for each meal, and they also have a reliable menu with different items. So there's a lot of variety available. They have movies, a little bit of wine tastings in the afternoon, and all of that comes with entertainment. They honor whatever holiday it is, and they involve the residents in the best possible way. They are keeping them active with projects, arts and crafts, and trivia; it's a pretty novel program. The staff is always very responsive. The food is excellent, I've dined in the dining room a couple of times. and it's been great. I'm going to say that for the price we're getting exactly what we need.

Belmont Village only had one-bedrooms, no two-bedroom. Other than that, it was OK. The staff was fine. Everything was great. We walked around and saw the outside. They had a place to walk around, which was nice. Everything was nice.

I personally call Belmont Village Sabre Springs a 5-star elder care. It was more on the upper scale and it was very large. It had a very nice dining room type setting where everybody meets. For people that can afford it, it was a very nice place. It had everything. The rooms were beautiful, very well-kept, and very clean. It had nice outside areas, like the gardens.

We were very impressed with Belmont Village Sabre Springs. It's independent living, but it tends to be more on the assisted living side. It's a very nice place, it's in a good location, it's very clean, and it looked very nice. We saw a room that was already occupied. You have to bring your own furniture.

Belmont village was very nice, and they provided independent living all the way to memory care. The staff member answered all my questions, gave me a tour, and I thought they were very knowledgeable. The independent apartments looked very nice, the dining area is nice, I didn't try the food, but it looked good. They kept it really clean. The memory care also looked good.

Belmont Village Sabre Springs would have met my friend’s needs very well. It’s one of the best in this area. It’s a beautiful environment and seems to be very well staffed. It’s a very active community of people, but he’s quite a bit younger than the average resident. Their average age there is 85, and he’s 54, so he could not picture himself in that environment. The rooms were beautiful. Marie took us through and explained everything, including the pricing. She did an excellent job and answered all of our questions. They had different sizes and styles of rooms.

Belmont Village Sabre Springs was clean and nice. It seemed very good, but it was not what my father was looking for. It was too fancy for him. They seemed to be pretty friendly; we did not meet too many staff.

Belmont Village Sabre Springs is a very nice place. It's a little bit on the countryside, so it was wide open with beautiful scenery around and mountains. The facility looked very clean and nice, and you don't have to buy into it, which was certainly a positive for us. The food was good. Overall, it was a very nice facility. The person there was very helpful. They didn't have a swimming pool, but they had a small gym and an outdoor garden area where you can walk. They had group activities like yoga.

The community areas in Belmont Village Sabre Springs are very homey with people using them every time I’ve been in. There are always people in the living room, which is the first area you see. There is always a lot of people in the dining area and using the facilities and always some interaction going on. My mother is receiving very good care. She’s not a very easy person to deal with, so I give them a lot of credit for that. The grounds, rooms, and dining area were very nice. The neighborhood around Belmont Village is also very nice. I’ve seen them bring up food to my mom on a tray because she does not want to go to the dining area, and it looked pretty good to me. Every day, they have some activities going on, like bands and singers visiting and wine and cheese parties. I would recommend this place to other people.

We are so fortunate to have found Belmont Village Sabre Springs for Dad three plus years ago. Dad started out in Assisted Living and is now in the Neighborhood. Every one who works here is like our own family. We couldn't ask for anything more and are so thankful for the care and love they provide.

My father had been a resident in the Neighborhood section of Belmont Village (BV), Sabre Springs for close to five years. BV provided my father with the comfort, care and social engagement needed as a senior with severe dementia. For my family, BV provided us with the security and ease we needed to ensure that our father had the best, safest, cleanest residence available. The PALS truly care about the residents. They had incredible patience and affection for my dad. They treated him like a family member. Inan, Beth and Jessica were incredible advocates for all the residence in order to provide the best care possible. And, at the time of my father's passing, I could not have asked for a better support team. In addition to the Hospice care, my father received, BV allowed my father to die with dignity in his own residence and not be transferred to a hospital. I offer regular testimonials about BV to my friends who are in the same situation dealing with an elderly family member with memory care issues. Indeed, one of my friends has her mother comfortably living in Belmont Village of Encinitas.

We lived in Belmont Village for four years. The staff was very good and helpful, but they didn't have two-bedroom, two-bath. It wasn't big enough, and we had to share a bathroom. Otherwise, it was very good. They had three sit-down meals, which was moderately good. The dining room was functional, not fancy. They had lots of activities like movies, trips to tourist places, cruises, and museums.

Belmont Village is very nice. The people that work there are extremely caring and helpful. They have a lot of activities. They have a bus or a van that takes them out on trips. The surroundings are very nice. They have a nice warm pool. They have different size rooms. The room that my sister is actually living in is a one-bedroom den. She had a TV room or a living room, another room for her bedroom, and a bathroom. We decided on Belmont because she enjoys her visit there, and they are so nice to her. She says, "Well, this is my home."

My husband was in Belmont Village of Sabre Springs for three weeks. It's a great place, but my husband was asked to leave because he was falling too many times. Their activities program was the best, and that's what my husband enjoyed. He likes playing cards, Blackjack, poker, current events, and crossword puzzles. It's a great place for someone who does not need one-on-one care. It's clean, and the staff were attentive. It was a good experience. His room was good, and the grounds were beautiful and maintained.

Our aunt is now living in a place called Belmont Village of Sabre Springs. This facility is a recommendation from a personal friend whose father has been there for several years. One of the reasons why we selected this facility is because they have a memory care facility, and we are seeing that my aunt is getting to be more like that now, although she does not need to be in a locked door facility yet, but we thought if that happens we wouldn’t have to move her into another facility. They have a very good program for people with milder dementia. They don’t need to be in a locked facility; it's called Circle of Friends. Another thing that they have, which I think is very good, are several mobile doctors, and they come to this facility. When you go inside, it's cheerful with lots of light from inside and outside. It seems like you are going in a hotel.

I moved my mom to Belmont Village. It is only 7 minutes away from my house. It is very clean. The staff is very professional. My mom is having a hard time this past couple of days because she comes from another facility, but I think once she gets used to it, she will really like it. Her room is nice and big enough for all of her things. It has a nice view, and I like it. I had lunch there, and I will rate the food a 5. They have very good activities, and I am excited for her to like it. I hope she likes it as much as I do.

I had a visit at Belmont Village at Sabre Springs and the place was really spacious. They have a lot of outdoor space and sitting areas. It wasn't just long halls with rooms of each side. They have swimming pool for water aerobics. The place was just really nice.
