Independent Living Communities in Oceanside, CA

"After doing a lot of online research, my wife and I decided to look no further. From the time we entered the building for a tour of the facility, we experienced nothing but the best possible feelings from every staff person to the folks living there. James did a superb job of explaining everything, leaving us without the need for any more questions. We look forward to enjoying the long list of programs and services they have to offer."

"Belmont Village Cardiff by the Sea was wonderful and very clean. They sent me something in the mail to go to a seminar. I went to that and was treated extremely well. They had these wonderful cookies and ice cream. Afterward, I had a really good tour of the independent living. It's like a 5-star hotel but really expensive."

"Las Villas Del Norte is $3000 and they charge a community fee of $3000. Even though the facility is very nice, there's no way that I can afford to do this. I like that it's more of a restaurant approach to dining. They have a lot of different things that you could order there. It's more upscale than the others. The others are more cafeteria-style. You can have four or five different choices. It's more customized to the individuals. The staff was were very businesslike and very helpful. It's more of a hotel feel."

"Westmont Town Court was great and they were wonderful. I toured their assisted living. It was beautiful, with beautiful apartments. The apartment I saw was large and you can do cooking, you have your own kitchen and a separate room. It was great and much larger than where we moved my dad into. They took us through the building and showed us the various things. They had a little store there, a little recreation area, and an indoor pool for the residents. They also had a theater for when they do presentations and movies. It was a wonderful facility. "

"Westmont of Carmel Valley is a place that I would want to retire to. It is beautiful. It looks very open. It had a lot of beautiful outdoor space. I wanted to sit down and go knit with some of the women who were there. The different places to eat at looked lovely and open. It's a beautiful place where you could just retire and spend your days. It feels more kind of a resort. I liked their bar/bistro area where you could just sit for the day with a drink or a snack. It was big and bright. The downside was the price, because you have to pay for that beauty, and it's definitely on the high end, but if you had the money, that would be a wonderful place for you to go."

"I first visited with my son and we both felt it was the perfect community for me in so many ways. I have lived here 2 years now and the activities are great! Everyone is so kind, knowledgeable and willing to help. I very much appreciate all the support from the front desk employees."

"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 mother has moved into Gateway Park Senior Living. She is happy. She really likes it a lot. For me, the only downside to the place is that I had to move literally things into her apartment, and she is on the fourth floor, and it's a lot of walking, but it's good for her. There is an elevator that goes straight up to the fourth floor and is actually right next to her apartment, and I can get in there because they gave me an extra key. When I go there to meet her, I tell her to take me to her apartment, and she takes me the long way. I want her to take me because I want her to know where to go and how to do things, because her memory isn't fantastic. The staff seems to have everything under control. I have plenty of food allergies, so trying their food would not have been possible. However, my mother has said that the food is really good. Before, she was just eating frozen meals and bagged salads, and stuff. They're all pre-prepared meals. She can still do that here. I brought her microwave, and they have room for that (A microwave is one thing they don't provide, but they have a stove and a fridge). It's a very tiny kitchen, but it's definitely way more than enough for her. For the food, she has to walk over to the middle of the building to get to the restaurant. It's restaurant style, and they have a few choices that they can decide on. So, she has been really happy because she was telling me, "I had this today, and it was really good," and I'm glad to hear that because she used to be extremely picky at the other place, and she would be mad, like, "They fed us eggs every day." My mother has been so busy, and she loves their activities. That was a big part of it that made us choose this place because they constantly have something going on. They have a calendar that you can see at the front desk. It's very large, and then they have one that you can take with you to have in your home. She is doing chair yoga, puzzles and Mexican chain dominoes, bingo, and stuff like that. The common areas are very large, which is actually really great because my mother has a dog. They allowed her to bring the dog, and there are a lot of people with dogs, too. So, she can walk her dog safely inside the community without having to go on streets or anything that would be unsafe, so, that's really fantastic. When we toured the room, I was unimpressed. They said the lady had just moved out, maybe a day or two. They said they were going to clean the carpet, and I looked at it, and it was very gross. So, when we came to move in, instead of cleaning the carpet, they had taken the carpet out, and everything was now laminate flooring, which is fantastic. We love that. Putting down laminate is much, much better than cleaning the gross carpet. I think the value for money is pretty good. It's always going to be expensive. I rent out two-bedroom apartments for about $2200 a month, and this one is $3150, and it comes with food and activities. Everything is included except for the phone service. So, the value is really good because it comes with a lot of stuff that you would otherwise have to pay for."

"My mom is here. It seems to be a good community. They take good care of my mom. They have a lot of activities there. My mom is in a studio, and it's good. The food seemed to be pretty good."

"Belmont Village Sabre Springs is really nice. It's a beautiful community. It seemed like they had good programming. I saw the calendar for assisted living and for memory care. They just seem like they had a good program. The dining room looks really nice. They have an outdoor pool where they do activities, and the way that they kind of transitioned patients from assisted living into memory care seemed really comprehensive and well done. I saw the studio apartments in assisted living. They're nice, it's just a little studio and a kitchenette. Then the bathrooms all got the shower chair already in there, and the bars near the toilet. And so, it seems it would be very accessible. The staff was really nice. She was very good. It was actually the memory care coordinator, I think. She was very knowledgeable about the whole property and the different programing and kind of how people transition from one part of the property to others."

"We toured Belmont Village La Jolla. They were nice. It's too expensive and too much of a commute for my brother. They had activities. The food was great. They had a courtyard. They had views. They had all kinds of interactions with the residents. They had outings for the residents. They were just wonderful. The rooms were big and spacious, and the studios were wonderful."

"The Chateau is nice, it’s less expensive, but it doesn’t have as many activities. It’s a very nice choice for independent living, it’s right downtown La Jolla, and it's near the ocean. "

"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 also wanted to buy my own home and grow the equity, have reasonable HOA fees, a wide variety of activities, pleasing landscape, friendly people, responsive office staff, resident-run committees, and Board of Directors. I enjoy the parties and active groups like gardening, line dancing, yoga. Coffee hours, card games, singing, pools and hot tub are also enjoyable. There is so much more I have not attended. I searched most 55+ active communities in Oceanside and Oceana Original was the best of what I wanted for the cost. Please have your Realtor research if the property you want is leased or fee simple. This makes a difference in monthly fees. We lease so that plus HOA fees has the total at about $500 a month. I still own the condo and equity. I feel this is more than fair for the area, community and services. "
