"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 ..."
"Belmont Village La Jolla was a beautiful facility and the food was great. All of the amenities were great. It was just that the square footage was way too small for what we would be paying. There was some ability to do art or something like that. The..."
"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..."

"Two close friends and I (all senior citizens) visited Silvergate Rancho Bernardo in the Spring of 2023 and immediately knew that we’d found paradise in a lovely area of San Diego.
We’d already looked at several other residential places for senior..."
"Wesley Palms San Diego Retirement Community was nice, but they didn't have anything available. They had a mile track around the property, which my father likes. But if he needed more assisted living, he'll have to move to another building. Everybody ..."

"I chose The Remington Club for my mom because it's closest to my house and the price is right. They kind of offer everything. I liked it because they had some rooms that had doors to the outside, not only to the hallway inside, but doors to the outsi..."
"Cypress Court is a 5-star for me. It's the one I'm considering for myself. The few staff that I saw were very good, they're excellent in meeting new people coming in and so forth. They're very, very friendly, and that's important. I liked the apartme..."

"I toured Pacifica Senior Living Rancho Penasquitos. The apartments are very nice. They're nicely done. They had a refrigerator and a microwave. I think they even had a coffee pot. They had everything in there unless you want to bring in something ext..."
"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..."
"My mother purchased a condo here from out of state six months ago. She/we could not be happier. The staff at the chateau are professional, caring and respectful. There is a wonderful sense of community and optimism here. Mom went from being isola..."
"My parents have moved here two weeks ago. It's a nice quiet place. It's very suitable for my parents at their age, 68 and 72. It's a clean environment and obviously, it has a good vibe. In general, I'm quite happy with it. Value for money is good...."
I toured Belmont Village Cardiff by the Sea. The staff was wonderful on the tour. The thing I liked least was the price, but everything else was good. They had a library, a gym, and game rooms....
