Independent Living Communities in Lakeside, CA

"I'm at here. It is close to my family, it looks nice, and the price includes utilities and DirecTV. It is a little bit pricey, but it is cheaper than regular apartments around here. The move-in experience is fine. The staff members are very nice. They have activities, but I work during the day and the activities are all during the day. They have an exercise room that has some equipment ithat I can be using, but I'm not. I tried the food, and it was high-cholesterol and high-fat stuff for breakfast, so that was the last meal I've had there. I cook for myself. The building is OK. It's a two-story building with a common patio and a garage on the first floor as well. It's nice-looking and clean. They have free laundry. They have a patio where you're invited to plant plants if you want. With regards to the food, I asked if they had an egg white omelet and they said, 'No we just had eggs and cheese,' so we have cholesterol issues. The food doesn't look like it's what you need. I don't eat there and it's also expensive. The layout is fine. The elevators are sometimes slow, but they seem to be better recently."

"It was very clean. It was a hotel before, so they were still remodeling it, and it looked like they were doing a great job. They gave me a fairly quick tour and explained kind of their philosophy, which I liked because they said that they don't restrict their residents from any habits that they had before, which I think was very nice. One weird thing was that they were giving them popcorn for snacks, which I thought was funny because old people can't eat popcorn. But the staff was very pleasant and accommodating."

"I went to Cypress at Junipers Senior Apartments. I thought it was awesome. It's new, it's clean, and the surrounding areas are nice. The people that were there that we talked to were nice. It was great. They're brand new. The apartment is pristine and clean. It was a good size. It was very nice. A friend of mine is moving there from Hawaii, so I'm considering getting a place there."

"My mom recently moved in and we expected it to be a difficult transition emotionally. Since day one she has never looked back and keeps telling me how happy she is! The staff and residents are so nice and helpful and she already has made friends and is busy with the activities. This move has been so beneficial for her physical and mental health, and it is all because of the wonderful people and beautiful facility."

"My dad is living in Westmont at San Miguel Ranch. It's very good, and the rooms are really nice. The staff is very positive, helpful, and friendly. The food was good, and they had nice selection."

"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."

"It was very nice. It was a much smaller facility than the other one. They were very friendly. The patients seemed like they were happy. The person who toured me was very helpful and very nice. The rooms were fine. They were nice and clean. The dining area looked nice. We didn't sample any food. In terms of activities, we saw people playing cards, and they had a movie room, too."

". I was very impressed with the facility, it has a resort feel. It is very new. The common areas are open and airy. The food was excellent with a wide variety of choices. The courtyard and pool are very inviting. All of the staff that I met were very friendly and helpful."

"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. They also had physical fitness activities. The facility was new, well thought out, and planned. The staff who gave us the tour was very helpful and very knowledgeable about their facility. All in all, a top level of service. They would provide meals 3 times a day. We had lunch there and the food tasted great, with lots of variety."

"We have found a place, and we are moving there in two weeks. Most of the places in California do not have a kitchen, and Fredericka Manor has kitchens. If they didn't have a kitchen, I would discard them. It is an entire cottage, and the rooms are large and light. I am still working -- I am an artist -- and it had room for a studio for me. We stayed there, and they were very gracious. They gave us a guest suite, and we lived in the community for four days. It was very nice. That included all the meals and everything we wanted. They managed to sit us with different people for every meal, and the people in this community were really gracious. The food was good; it wasn't exciting, but it was good. But there are so many restaurants down there that it doesn't matter. It is not only assisted living, but they have a lot of independent living. And one of the reasons we chose it is that they have very vital, active people still running around in there, and it is beautiful. "

"My aunt is living in Pacific Pointe. It’s really good, she goes on a lot of outings, and they form different clubs for them. It’s very active, and there’s a lot of stuff going on. She talks about how good the food is. He has a studio with a little kitchenette, and it’s perfect for one person. "

"I am going to be moving to Westmont Town Court because I liked it the best. It is a one-bedroom apartment with a living room and dining room in one, and a small kitchen, bath, and walk-in closet. You can eat in the dining room anytime you want or cook your own food. The dining room is very nice, the staff is very friendly, and everybody seemed busy and happy. It is a very nice facility. "

"I chose Chateau La Jolla Inn, it's a block from the beach, and everything about it was okay. The staff is good, the rooms were all nice, and had been redone. They had quite a few activities, they had courtyards, a library, a gym, but the swimming pool was not big, and looked like a therapy pool. They had meals, the community is beautiful, and it's close to the downtown area."
