Independent Living Communities in Temecula, CA

"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 toured Chardonnay Hills Care Home. It's a house with wide aisles, which was great for wheelchairs. The kitchen and the living room were spacious. The floors were wood, so there weren't any smells."

"I toured Cottages at Hemet. It is very nice, and if I can get my father to come out this far, there is a possibility that I would like to put him there. The place is beautiful, and the staff all seem very nice. The rooms that they have, even the studio apartments, are spacious. Outside is like a park. The facility is well taken care of. Where they need to do upkeep, it was put aside so the residents couldn't quite get there, so it didn't affect the residents."

"My dad went to The Village Hemet for assisted living. It was a really nice place and he was there for about 10 months. The nurses were there, and they were on top of medications. The residents weren't as active. They tried to do activities. They would wheel my dad down for singing groups and for Valentine cupcakes but when you're confined in a wheelchair and more immobile, it is harder to get someone to participate. They had in-house beauty shop. They had very good foods and my dad liked it. It was a really nice place. They had very caring staff. Their rooms were studio rooms that had separate bathrooms. The rooms were bigger. My dad had a room to put a recliner and a table. He had a television, a small table, and a chair to sit down to if he has company. It was nice and the price was comparable to others."

"The Camelot has been upgraded. It's in the price range that I can afford. Everything's provided in the cost and they have different specials at different months. It seemed like it was pretty well taken care of, and the dining room and all of the facilities seemed adequate. They're newly painted apartments. It looked like the menu was pretty good. The staff answered all our questions. She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. We could have had a meal there if we had been there during the mealtimes, but we weren't, so we didn't taste the food."

"I went to Brookdale Sunwest. I first visited them two years ago, and I had a meal then, and the food was good. It was a nice facility. The staff was very nice. The facility was very nice. They have a whole range of facilities, like a hotel, and then they have individual units, almost like a home you can stay in."

"What we really liked about Arcadia Place was the fact that you could walk out of your own apartment onto a patio, so you felt more like you were in a house that you could walk out of rather than going through a hallway to the main entrance. The staff was very friendly and interested in us as people. It was really a good tour. We liked the structure of the building, we liked the centralized location of activities within the building, and it was very clean. The rooms were a good size. I especially liked the bathroom. It wasn't just kind of a closet bathroom. It was a nice size."

"Rancho Vista Senior Living is a nice place. It's like a resort. If you don't like what's planned for the day, you can order a la carte. You can get a cheeseburger, a hot dog, or whatever you want. They take you places. They take you to the Padres. They have day outings or they take you to the grocery store. My mother-in-law wouldn't be confined. Alma was very sweet and answered any questions. I was impressed by her. They have a movie room, a library, and a grand piano in the dining room, so they have entertainment on Friday nights. They have a nice big fireplace in the dining room. It's very clean."

"My brother has been in Everest Oceanside Memory Care for more than a year. I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate the staff. They are very responsive, diligent, kind, respectful, and wonderful to my brother. He has been in a number of group homes and one independent living facility when it became apparent that memory care was the safest for him. I could not be happier with his care, honestly. He's clean, well fed, continuously monitored and they stay on top of his medications without fail. They have been a godsend to our family and my brother. Highly recommend!"

"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 like the Las Villas Del Norte. That would be my number one choice, but it's too far for my mother-in-law. She doesn't want to live in Escondido. It's very clean. It has a pool. I was impressed. I didn't want to go anywhere else. If you don't want the daily menu, you can go for a la carte. Phil was very nice and accommodating. They say the resident's name. They know the people who live there."

"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 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 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."
