Memory Care Communities in Chula Vista, CA

"I went on a physical tour of Westmont at San Miguel Ranch. The tour was nice. It seemed like they had updated everything. It was under new management, and it had a modern feel to it. They're the ones that had a vegan menu. It had a very open and accepting social community. They had celebrations for LGBTQ and a very inclusive layout. Their common areas were lovely, and it felt very much like a living room. People smiled and said hello. We watched people play games and they smiled at my kids. Everything there was much more like living in a high-rise community where, when you take the elevator, you can just get off and be wherever you need to be, so that's so nice. Very central locations for everything. So that one was an enjoyable experience. The staff was outstanding. They counseled us through some of the things that we were still learning as far as payments and social workers. They worked to educate us on the care of my mother and what kind of questions to ask. Even though we decided to go another route, they still were very informative. So that speaks highly of their knowledge of the market for the people who are actually in this predicament for the first time. They're very, very helpful. They had a meal house that was open all day. They had meal times but then they also had the ability to make you what you wanted if you called down, which was important because my mom's schedule wasn't always like normal meal time. They had a very safe courtyard that was all enclosed and very thoughtfully designed so that it wouldn't bring in anything that was an unpleasant view. They were open to visiting pets coming into the courtyard and they had a separate portion for people that maybe couldn't accommodate visitors or guests. They had different courtyards for different setups. "

"My brother lives here. They have pretty small rooms. They have two people in a room. It's kind of a residential setting. It is like a small apartment and it is fine. They take care of my brother. So, I'm happy with the work they do. The staff seems really nice and caring. I was a little concerned in the beginning, but now that he's been there a while, I think they try to take care and see to his needs. I saw the food and my brother seemed to like it all right. They have a little small room where they sometimes get together. They got puzzles and a small library."

"I visited Right Choice Senior Living, and then I also spoke to the owner on the phone. The owner, for some reason, didn't know that I was going to be there, so he wasn't there. One of the caregivers assisted me. The tour was good. I liked it. Edgar was the caregiver, and he seemed to be very attentive to each resident. Each resident wasn't tied to a strict schedule. The residents could go outdoors if they wanted, but no gym or library that I was shown."

"What I liked best about Gold Canyon Care Home was that it seemed like a very cozy home. It had great gym equipment, especially the recumbent stair stepper, which would be ideal for my mother. That was a big selling point. They have hundreds of DVD movies. They have a dog, a cat, chickens, and they have fresh eggs. They have little garden areas where they grow vegetables and herbs. The deck overlooks a canyon. It seems to be a very warm home and it's not overly crowded. I looked at the bedrooms. I wouldn't call them stylish, but they're cozy. It's like most homes. So those were the main things. My mother grew up on a farm, and I think she would like to see the chickens, so I like that. The cat was very sweet, and the dog was big but not aggressive. It seemed like a great place for my mom, so I'm very happy with it. And the location is great, too. The only staff I met were the owners. They told me that the caregivers live onsite. But what I liked about it is that they put two homes together, and on one side is where all of the caretakers live, and then on the other side is where all of the seniors live. It created like a big open space, and I like that. And I like the fact that if my mother wants to watch a movie, she can get away from any noise in the kitchen. They have a number of rooms, which I like. The menu has a lot of variety. My mother loves scrambled eggs, so the fact that they have chickens and fresh eggs every day is a bonus. Physically, it's an old home. I was mostly shocked at the color of the rooms. They were all mono color, and they were either all pink, purple, or blue. It's very dated and not pretty, but it's a comfortable place, and I think that matters the most."

"Lantern Crest Senior Living is great. What they have to offer is really good. The admissions lady showed me around and introduced me to the staff, and they were kind. She showed me their eating places, their activities, and where the residents can go to walk outside. The facility was new, clean, and very nice. It was secure and locked because it's a memory care facility, yet they have a place where they can walk outside in a nice grassy area with a walkway. They have a van to take them out to activities. They also have a large activity room and it's packed with activities. There's a dining area, but there's also a restaurant in assisted living."

"I toured AvantGarde Senior Living of La Jolla. The staff told me that my friend wouldn't be able to have a private room, but the papers that the social worker had sent me said that he could have a private room. The staff was awesome. It's very clean, but it is an older place. They've got it fixed up real cute, but I didn't like the shared rooms. It was a good atmosphere. It seemed like all the patients who were there were very happy. The shared room has a curtain in between down the middle, just like a hospital room. It's in a beautiful location. It's right in the middle of La Jolla. It's near the water. You can take the bus, and it drops you off right near there. It's a beautiful neighborhood that they're in."

"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."

"I've had the pleasure of visiting Monarch Cottage on many occasions. I am always greeted in a warm, professional manner that sets the tone of the community. I come to visit an old friend and am always impressed with the compassion that I see in the interactions between the residents and staff. The community is beautiful, the location is great and the residents are happy. I look forward to my visits there. "

"It was a lot smaller than the others we have looked at, and we liked that. It was cozier, had a very nice staff, and was very clean. At the time, we thought that my brother-in-law would need to be in assisted living, so we only toured the assisted living area. We were looking to get an assisted living waiver, but there was no opportunity for the assisted living waiver at that place. It was very nice, and they seemed to have a smaller group of residents, so it seemed like it was better for my brother-in-law. He could easily kind of see where he needed to navigate from his room to the dining room because it was just a lot smaller. The only thing is that the cost is prohibitive. I remember seeing a library, a nice courtyard, and a common area where everybody socialized. They were doing some activities there during our tour. The staff was very nice and very welcoming."

"My wife moved into the Belmont Village Sabre Springs. She is being cared for very well. They have got all kinds of activities, but my wife is not into activities. We are lacking nothing, and they are very efficient here. We are very pleased, and we are not disappointed with anything. We are very happy. They are very kind, very cordial, and very helpful. The food is good. They have a chef who's been a chef for 26 years, and he puts out some delicious food. The facility is modern, it's clean, it is comfortable, and convenient. It is well organized and close to where I live."

". 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."

"My husband and I have been very happy living in Silvergate Rancho Bernardo. We have a lovely "cottage" with a large patio and garage. They are built well, with high ceilings and lots of light. I am in walking distance from so many activities, and there are SO MANY ACTIVITIES available here. I have Parkinsons', so exercise is extremely important for me. I have many different types of exercise classes within a 5 minute walk from my door. The teachers are very skilled at working with many fitness levels of seniors. For example, we have Tai Chi classes given 5 times a week to help with balance and coordination. I also love water aerobics twice a week. In addition, Silvergate brought in an occupational and physical therapy group who now offer their services here on site. I was extremely fortunate to find that one of these professionals was trained and certified in a special movement program for Parkinson's and I was quickly able to sign up and take the training--and it helped a lot! I truly believe my health has IMPROVED since moving into Silvergate. And if I get worse eventually, I know there is good care available here too, so I feel prepared for the future. Residents are encouraged and supported in offering services if they wish. So I have begun offering a discussion group on aging issues, and another resident offers his skills as a painting and writing teacher. My husband started painting with him, and now is producing beautiful paintings that amaze people--having never painted before in his life! We also enjoy a lovely circle of new friends here, and we have come to value a weekly dinner with them on Sat. nights. Then we go to a movie in the main house! There are also live concerts of many kinds, outings to the theatre, and parties. It's a good life!"
