"I will be moving into Santianna. I had a lovely tour. The guide was great. It's brand new. We had a nice lunch, and the food was very tasty. It's in the middle of the day, so there weren't too many people out. They had some kind of a musical program ..."
"My wife and I lived in Carlsbad By the Sea. It was pretty good up until the time we left. We're independent living. The in-house doctor there with the nurse decided that my wife had dementia, and that she had to move out. Of course, I wouldn't let he..."
"I visited Casa Aldea at Carlsbad and I liked it a lot, but they have a long waiting list. I don't want meals and I don't want extras. They had activities, and they didn't have meals, so that was a plus. There's a 2-bedroom available now that I'm cons..."
"Silvergate San Marcos has been my home for 1 year and 5 months. I have been very happy here and I think I made a good choice. The staff is available to hear your concerns and will help if possible. The caregivers, servers in the dining room and medic..."
"Ocean Hills Senior Living was very nice, but the layout was so wrong from what my mom wanted. Other than the layout, it's brand new. It just turned a year old. They have a gym, a pool, a Jacuzzi, and equipment for people who can't walk to get into th..."
"We were very impressed, and we enjoyed it, made some good friends, and I was sorry that I had to leave them, but at our advanced age, we've decided we would be better off living next to our daughter. They had movie nights, shopping trips, and trips f..."
"It is in the city. It's not like there's a forest or anything to go walk around in. It's nice, and the people there were really friendly. They have all levels of care including assisted living. They gave me a general tour of the common areas and show..."
"My tour at the Meridian at Lake San Marcos was wonderful. They had the roomiest units of everybody I saw, some are almost 1800 square feet, and I'm on the waiting list for them. I'm going to eat there for dinner tonight. They had a pool, had dog park..."
"Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch was very attractive. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. You don't see people sitting around with nothing to do. The residents were interactive with each other. The food was good. I've eaten there three different time..."

"My mother has moved into Ocean Breeze Senior Village. It's a 62+ independent senior apartment. So far, it's been great and they've been really helpful. It's very quiet and it's centrally located. It is a little pricey for senior housing at $1400 a mo..."
"Seacrest Village at Encinitas Leichtag Foundation Campus provides exceptional support. They have the whole spectrum of care. We are in independent living right now, but in the future, the care we need is right here on the campus. The staff is very we..."
"I have lived in Oceana Original for 2 years. Don’t confuse Original with the other Oceanas. They are all independent of each other. I chose Oceana Original because it is pet-friendly, well-situated in Oceanside for breezes, quiet and convenience. I a..."
"I visited Ocean Hills Country Club. ItÂ’s not a CCRC, but an independent living. They have independent houses. TheyÂ’re fine, and they offered much less than the other facilities. ThereÂ’s no restaurant there, so thereÂ’s no food to evaluate. They have a..."
"I went to Vintage Pointe Senior Apartments Phase II. They've got two years of a waiting list. I thought it was quite nice. The bottom floors are the ones that go first. Last year, in November, we put ourselves on the waitlist and they still don't hav..."
Laguna Estates Senior Living was a very nice place, even my mom was impressed. The sales guy was pretty nice and he wasn't pushy. The rooms were good and they were of nice size. For independent...
