Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Escondido, CA

"No words can express how fortunate our family has been for my parents to have been able to live...and thrive...through the continuum of care spanning the last 14 years at La Costa Glen (LCG). Not only have both of my parents been able to benefit from using all four pillars of LCG's extensive expertise of care - Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing - but they have both done so while being treated like a loved family member by each and every one of the incredible associates serving the resident patrons at each and every stage. This does not happen by accident. Instead, it is a culture that is inbred, and executed from the first employment screenings, through the extensive training and oversight, and the attention to detail starting at the very top of management and passed down through the ranks. No matter the challenge along the way, the LCG Team has found solutions and guided the transition process at the perfect time needed. My parents have been in the very, very best of care during their entire long tenure at LCG, and I have never met anyone else living there...or their family members...who has felt any different. LCG is truly the Living Paradise before we take our last ultimate journey. I would give LCG 1,000 Stars if I could on the Review Scale, and my entire family feels so blessed that my father made the extremely smart decision to move from Fairbanks Ranch to LCG when he did in 2008. They could have lived anywhere in the world! But I am confident that it would be hard to find a community that offers as much in the continuing care continuum, and provides such care with as much love and sincerity of effort as is provided through the entire staff spectrum at La Costa Glen. Whatever your individual circumstances, may you find the same happiness through these final transitions as my parents and our family has so beneficially experienced through our long association with La Costa Glen Continuing Care Community."

"I toured Carlsbad by the sea and it was my favorite. The food is excellent, it’s just a lovely place, and it’s right by the ocean. I even signed up for it, but I backed out, because it was very expensive. It had everything. They have an outdoor and indoor pool, a staff member makes an exercise plan for each resident, they have balanced classes and strength classes, and they had a minister who comes every week for a talk. They have a salad bar, you can always have a filet mignon, and a salmon, and they always have three entrees; they’re very flexible."

"The most important factor to me in finding a place for my elderly friend was the staff. I don’t care how beautiful a place is or how great a view the apartments have if the staff are not caring and attentive too all the needs of the residents it’s worthless in my opinion. Merrill Gardens on Bankers Hill is led by Lori, an amazing director who goes so far and above what we expected. She truly cares for every residents well being and happiness. Director Lori is always willing to discuss any concerns whatever they are personally. Her dedication and leadership to her staff relieve the stress of my worrying for my friends well being. The care staff i’ve met are kind and professional as well. The accommodations are very nice as are the quality of the meals and the many activities provided by the activities staff. If a resident needs to go somewhere, be it a medical appointment or Sunday Church, it’s never a bother to arrange transport in the facility town car or shuttle vans. Extra care if and when needed is always available. We are very happy having made the decision to be at Merrill Gardens."

"Our tour at Covenant Living at Mount Miguel was very good. We enjoyed it. The staff was very nice and very attentive. The facility is OK (not super, but they're fine). The rooms were pretty good. They were pretty nice, fresh, and comfortable. They offered us food, but we didn't have time to do that. They're kind of just ordinary, They have a nice garden area outside the walkways. They have indoor stuff like a library and common areas."
