I would not recommend Fallbrook to any family member considering placing their loved one in a facility for care. I noticed a significant decline in my grandmother's health and personal hygiene after she moved to Fallbrook. The facility seemed understaffed. I once looked for over thirty minutes to find a staff person that could help my grandmother with a need she had. It frightened me to think that my grandmother might need some kind of help or support when I wasn't there and she wouldn't have anyone available to help her. The facility is clean and many of the staff are friendly, but when I brought some concerns to the Administrator in charge, she was dismissive and made excuses for what I had observed. She seemed like she didn't have time to listen.

My loved one resides at Fallbrook. The facility is clean, but seems habitually understaffed. Since moving to Fallbrook, my family member's personal and dental hygiene has declined significantly. Fallbrook, compared to other assisted living facilities in the area, seems to be run more like a business than a health care facility. Everything appears fine on the surface, but if you spend any amount of time there, you begin to notice the that the facility is not family friendly and that the residents receive very little personal attention. When I brought my concerns to the Administrator in charge, she was dismissive and did not appear to take my concerns seriously.

After much stress and anxiety, we finally had to place our mom in a facility where she could have 24/7 care and supervision. It was a hard thing to do, but I can't imagine any better place than Fallbrook Woods. It's beautiful, warm, and bright. The facility is always clean, and so are the residents. The food is prepared from scratch and appetizing. But the best part is the care. The staff is kind, caring, and connected. I've never seen anything like it. And the activities they have planned make all of us jealous that we aren't there as well! Honestly, I cannot give enough of a glowing review!

Fallbrook Woods was very nice but not at all homey. The staff was fine and very technically oriented and sophisticated. I could feel that it was more a business rather than a care facility. They were very business-like. I didn't get to see any of the individual rooms because they were too busy to show them to me that day, and I just felt like the public areas were very crowded.
