Independent Living Communities in Fallbrook, CA

"A dear friend of mine is now a resident at Ocean Hills Senior Living in Oceanside, California. this independent living facility is beautiful. They have a gym, pool, and daily activities which keep all the residents engaged and happy. Their restaurant has a very diverse menu which also changes daily. The food is very good and their staff and chef are aways on hand to help in any way they can. Bill, their maintenance director, as well as the entire staff should be commended for their thoughtfulness and work ethics."

"I can’t commend Laguna Estates enough. They moved in my mom at the peak of Covid (May 2020) and they made her feel so welcome. The entire staff has been so friendly and attentive. My mom passed this last Tuesday and everyone has been incredible. Compassionate and loving. I couldn’t ask anything more from them as caregivers. Wes is awesome too, but the entire staff is amazing. "

"I toured Ivy Park at Murrieta, and I almost went with them. The thing I liked most was their very friendly staff, who were very accommodating. Their food was top-notch. It's even better than the other place. It was like restaurant-style food. It was so good and would have been a doable place, but it cost more. It's a very new place, so that's why it's bright. It was even brighter than the place I would have to go to, and the rooms were very nice."

"I toured Silvergate San Marcos. It was good, and it was a thorough and nice place. Dave was very light and cool. The rooms were nice and clean, and their dining area was good."

"I toured Las Villas Del Norte's assisted living, and I thought it was a nice facility. We went out to a huge courtyard, which had two gazebos and a swimming pool. I was kind of drawn back that they had a pool. The place is a little larger, probably the largest of the three facilities I looked at. For the activities, they had a weekly schedule that they posted on the patient's door. The place is kind of big for my brother in a wheelchair, but they said they have people who will help him get around. The person who gave the tour kind of just kick backs, no sales pressure, and was extremely personable. I showed up an hour early because they were done with another tour, and it was only 0.2 miles. He said he was finishing up on the phone call, and then they took me early so I could get the tour done and get back home, so I thought that was nice. I checked the dining area, but it was after mealtime, so I didn't have a chance to eat. They said we could come and sample their food, though. We just have to make another appointment to do that. The room was one of the nicest layouts because it had an apartment-sized refrigerator underneath the counter, and then it had a sink next to it, so there was enough room to put a microwave or a toaster oven. Out of the three places I visited, this one had the nicest layout. The facility was extremely clean. It had what looked like new vinyl flooring, so it didn't have any carpet or anything. They had everything. They even had a chapel that did Catholic and non-denominational services. You could sit in there, and there was an electric organ. It looked like a nice amenity that I didn't see at the other places I looked at. The other places had services, but they were usually in the dining room area."

"I toured Holiday The Springs of Escondido. They were a little bit more up-to-date. I like their facility. The young lady who toured with me was very nice. However, the parking was not good."

"I toured Westmont of Escondido. They were pretty much all-inclusive as far as my needs were. I liked all their facilities. It was well taken care of. The man I spoke with mentioned that a lot of the staff have been there for a long time, and that's good, too."

"I thought Redwood Terrace was amazing. I liked their core values, and I thought it was just great. They had something like cocktails and conversation and it was like they had some snacks, beverages, cocktails, and mocktails and whatnot. The coordinator was the one who assisted me with the tour. She was talking to so many people and she just took the time for everybody. She was pretty thorough and quick, but she took the time to show us an available unit. The apartments were like cute little bungalows, and that's what they called it. They had a courtyard and they offered haircuts and manicures once a month. Their core value was that when you buy into a bungalow or a unit, they had some kind of fund that if you outlived your money, you would not get kicked to the curb. I was amazed by that. It was reasonably priced, but then everybody would pay into that fund. They called it the Benevolent Fund. They had some hors d'oeuvres and cocktails when we were there, and my dad tried the cocktails."

"We chose Splendor Valley for my mother. They'll do anything she wants to do. They take really good care of her. I've gone to see her several times, and I've been very happy with it. This is a small house with, I think, 6 people. And they have caretakers and the owners, Mark and Marissa, live on-site. So, there's always a lot of people around. They get her dressed and she goes and sits in the family room combination kitchen. She always gets to watch people, which is what she likes. Other people have families come and go, and she just gets to see everything. They get her up, they help her shower and get dressed. They give her her meals and her medication. They do everything for her. The place is very, very nice. They have a gazebo where she can go outside. And if she has guests, you can sit outside with her. I looked at a lot of places, and this is by far the nicest. She just has a small room. It does have a door that she can open out to the gazebo, which is very nice. She has her La-Z-Boy chair and her hospital bed. She has her large TV, but she likes to go watch TV out in the family room. There's another lady that sits out there and watches TV with her."

"I like that Oakmont of Escondido Hills had wide open spaces. They had a lot of interactive programs going on with large groups. And it's well planned and managed."

"My friend will move into WellQuest of Menifee Lakes. The staff was very caring, and it's a nice place to live. It was also affordable and convenient, as it's close to where I live. The food there was excellent."

"I have lived for 3 months it has been an adjustment but I am adjusting now . Love that my cat has his own area in the patio which is important to me. I am going to join some of the clubs soon ."

"I went to Sun City Gardens. They all seemed very friendly and happy. The individual who gave the tour was walking around talking to everybody. It was apparent that they were very close. He was very nice and very friendly. It was very clean and very well designed. They had nice gardens. The room size was good. It wasn't too small and it had a nice open layout where wheelchairs would have been able to fit and go in and out of the room."
