I'm moving into St. Paul's Manor, and I like the community. I like the size and I like the location, the fact that it's Bankers Hill, that's walking distance to downtown San Diego, walking distance to the harbor, walking distance to Hillcrest, and walking distance to survival park. It's just it's a great place. The staff is very kind. To give an example of how long they've been there, two ladies that work in the dining room that have served me so far. One has been there the least amount of time for any employee in the kitchen, and that is seven years, and the other lady has been there 48 years. The staff doesn't turn over, it is secure. It's a good community. They're remodeling, everything's going to be up to date and everything is included. There are great views from my apartment on the eighth floor. It's just a nice place and the prices are very reasonable for what you get.

St. Paul's Manor was really lovely, but it was way over the amount of money I could pay. It's just beautiful and they had a whole page of different activities that were just fascinating. I loved it and I wish I could go. The single rooms were very spacious. The meal I had was delicious and the food was very good. The dining room was lovely and the lady taking orders was so kind.

We visited St Paul's Manor. I liked it a lot, and that's what we chose for mom. They have a nice variety of apartments from small studios to a large one-bedroom. They had the most fabulous views. We tried the food and it was good, the dining room was very nice, and there was a story telling activity when I was there. They had a calendar, and stuff to do every day. They had parking, laundry rooms, and a library.

I'm moving into St. Paul's Manor. I have all of my reservations confirmed and paid for. The reason I'm moving is because my grown children are there in San Diego. I have visited and stayed overnight and I ate two meals. It is a reasonably priced, good home. The rooms are smaller than the other place, but they have been able to accommodate me with enough space that I will feel comfortable. I have a patio and a single bedroom separate from the living room. I feel that it will be adequate because I'm used to larger spaces. I only ate one meal and I greatly prefer the manner that they wait on the residents. I was told that several members who like classical music have the opportunity to participate in learning more about it and enjoying it. They go through an intense interview with the prospective resident and I spent most of my time being interviewed rather than touring, however, they helped both my daughters, and they were very happy with their tours.

St. Paul's Manor was good. They had nice areas to move into, and the food was served restaurant style. They had nice programs for the residents, too. One of the most important things for me was the parking, and they found a parking slot for me.

St. Paul's Manor was very nice. It was well organized and clean. They had social rooms and areas where they do their projects and activities. The food was good, and the price included 1 meal a day. There was no parking and no swimming pool, but they had a gym. The staff that I met was friendly. I was able to talk to a couple of residents, and they seemed satisfied with the place. I liked this place.

I like St. Paul's Manor very much. The people were lovely. I thought if they have assisted living, I might be interested with them. I was very impressed with the people, and I was impressed with the place, but it wasn't for me. They gave me a lovely lunch. It was very good. The whole thing was a lovely day, but I didn't realize they didn't have assisted living. I was very impressed by the people, the way they handle themselves, and the place itself.

I went to see St. Paul's Manor, and the lady who assisted me was very knowledgeable and explained to me everything. I thought it was a nice place, and I liked the activities. I was looking at the smallest studio with a kitchenette, and it was very clean. The people we met in the halls all said 'hello,' and they seemed very friendly. It was very homey.

St. Paul's Manor was a nice place. It had assisted living and independent living. There was an ocean view, and it was very nice. It was an older building, but it was well maintained. I went to look at the rooms, and they were nice. The staff was very accommodating. The grounds were well maintained, and it was a classy place. It was in a great location because it was close to parks and museums.

I moved in to St. Paul's Manor. The food is sometimes OK, sometimes good, and sometimes not the best, so it varies. I love the rooms and the people. I have a large studio which has plenty for me and my little dog. They accept pets, and they have lots of social activities like meet and greet for new people who move in, which is really nice. They have a lounge that you can go to all day long and read the newspaper and look at photo albums. It's less expensive, but the higher you go up the floors, it gets expensive. You can get studios or 1-bedroom apartments.

The staff at St. Paul's Manor seemed very nice. The rooms seemed very appropriate, and everybody seemed very happy and clean. The residents weren't as active. I thought it was very nice. This place is all you're looking for if you're looking for assisted living.

St. Pauls Manor was very nice and had a very nice restaurant. The rooms were very clean, very nice, and updated. We showed up unannounced and yet they were prepared for us, very accommodating, and had no problem showing us around. It was somebody from the office, and she was a very nice person who gave a very good tour.

I have been a resident of St. Paul's Manor for 6 years. Everything here meets my needs. There are many activities offered. The staff and administration are caring and helpful. The residents are friendly and become a family. The food is good and many varieties are offered. Located on Bankers Hill, the area is beautiful and safe for walking. Nearby Balboa Park offers museums and the zoo. City bus service is very convenient. Banks and restaurants are within walking distance. My one bedroom apartment views the ocean and is spacious. All this for a rent rate that is lower than any comparable facility. I highly recommend this for senior living.

I went on a tour at Saint Paul. I liked it very much. However, I don't think it was for everybody because some people liked everything brand new and fancy. It was kind of an older home feeling, but they pride themselves in developing a community. They were careful about who goes in, and they let you know beforehand certain kinds of people with certain kind of interest. The location was really great. I liked the location, and the price was good. They showed us the rooms. They had a variety of choices. They were good, clean, and comfortable. They had a skilled nursing facility nearby, but the thing that I was looking at was just retirement living for people who were independent and basically just want a little help with laundry and meals, but otherwise independent. They had a lot of activities organized. They had some field trips. They provided some transportation in the area, but they let us know that the people who lived there were very active and they liked to organized activities.

One of the most frightening and stress-inducing decisions my brother and I had to make was to commit our Mother to a senior care facility. Fiercely independent in spirit, Mom was determined to stay at home. We did all we could to facilitate this decision as long as possible. Eventually, we knew that she needed around the clock supervision. The first thing we realized when interviewing potential care centers in our price range was that the people at St. Paul's really seemed to listen. Sure, others went through the motions, tried to say the right things, but at St. Paul's we began to feel comfortable with our decision. Still, when it came to making the move, we were afraid that Mom would have a terrible time adjusting. I have to say the staff at St Paul's were wonderful from the start. In the last years of her life, Mom was as happy and content as we could have hoped for her. Sure, she ultimately would have rather stayed at home, but second best proved to be St. Paul's Manor. Mom always felt taken care of, safe, and listened to. St. Paul's also had a great deal of activities to choose from, far more than Mom ever needed or took advantage of. She complained about the food once in a while, but Mom was always very very picky! All in all, we are so glad we found St. Paul's and are at peace with the decision to help her spend her last years there.
