Communities in Encinitas, CA

"Silvergate San Marcos has been my home for 1 year and 5 months. I have been very happy here and I think I made a good choice. The staff is available to hear your concerns and will help if possible. The caregivers, servers in the dining room and medical people call you by name. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the dining room. This is a good time to socialize and meet new residents. The food is very good and plentiful. There are many activities available along with fun trips outside the residence. I love my spacious one-bedroom apartment. Each room has a large window looking out to the outside. It includes a kitchen area, two bathrooms and three closets. I love living here and would highly recommend Silvergate to anyone looking for great place to spend the rest of their retirement. "

"Westmont of Carmel Valley was extremely nice. I think it's a relatively new facility. They have all three levels of care: independent, assisted, and a small memory care. It's very nicely decorated. The rooms were nice. It was reasonably priced, but towards the higher end. I looked at a studio and a one-bedroom. We had lunch there, and for what they charge, I expected it to be a little bit better. With lunch, you're getting sandwiches, soup, hamburgers, and things like that on the menu. They had a lot of amenities. The staff was very attentive. We met with the marketing person or the salesperson. It was really nice, very clean, and well decorated. They had a pool, a patio area, an activity room, and a theater where you can see things on a big screen with big comfy chairs. They provide some form of transportation where they'll take you to doctor's appointments or take you shopping, so you don't necessarily have to have a car. Westmont was my favorite. It's pretty popular, and there's a waiting list. You could get into the studios in one to three months, but the one-bedrooms were almost six months."

"Ocean Hills Senior Living is a very nice place. The people here are very nice. Food is pretty good. You have a choice from two main dishes every day. If you don't like that, you can order a la carte (which I like). The apartments are rather small, which is why I'm looking for a larger one. It is a small apartment. It is only 500 square feet. The place is very nice and new. I live right across the street from them, so it was easy to move. There are all kinds of stuff you can do here. I'm not a joiner, so I don't do any of them. It is a really nice place, but I'm just looking for something a little bit larger."

"Melissa and the staff provide individual care and attention to each resident. The home and backyard are beautiful. Food is healthy and fresh, and takes into account the needs of your loved one. I'm glad we chose Garden Abode for the final months of my mom's life."

"They also had a nice 1-bedroom and it had a couple of other amenities like a meeting area. It’s a newer and comfortable place. "

"I toured Brookdale Oceanside. It was fine. It seemed good. The staff member was fine. She was good. I didn't notice anything bad. I looked at a room. You have to furnish your own room. I looked at the menu, and it was good. The amenities looked like they were very good for the people that live there. They have a lot of creative activities like puzzles, movie days, and stuff like that. They have a big community area with tables, and chairs, and a TV set area. However, I didn't care for the prices. You have to share a bathroom and pay a lot of money, and then it's almost $6,000 to have a studio. I know they're getting care, but that's a lot of money. The list of activities looked really good. When I was there, they were watching a movie, and it seemed enjoyable. It was good. That's the only activity that I saw."

"The care is the best. They are there 24/7 for both my husband and me. They are like family and will do anything needed. "

"Thank you all! You are all amazing, kind, generous people. I'm thankful for each of you and how you treat my mom. We found the best care home there is!"

"My mother was at Lone Oak Villa for five years. In that time she had many people helping her. They were all knowledgeable and caring. They became friends and knew what she needed and liked. The owner of the facility is very accommodating and strives to make everything comfortable and run smoothly. "

"It was impressive. It was all positive and well thought out. They have everything from water coloring to all different types of exercising to outings. It was wonderful, and it was new."

"It was a hotel converted, so it felt that everything was an afterthought. It was nice though and I was extremely impressed. They have individual rooms and they don't have to share a bathroom. The person I talked to was very informative."

"I first visited this facility 1 year ago along with visiting 10 other facilities in San Diego. We were looking for a new home for a parent. After visiting so many facilities I can say this was the best place we visited. It looks like a resort, with a grand entrance, a pool, a boccie court, a courtyard where they have get togethers with all the residents. I have been to a few of their holiday parties where they bring in bands and serve lots of drinks and food. They are really awesome! I have even eaten dinner and lunch there, in the bar and the dining room, many times and the meals and drink are always very good. Pam and Lisa are great. They walked us through the whole process and showed us how to obtain a beautifully designed 2 bedroom unit within a short period of time. Every time I go there I am greeted very well by all of the staff. It is really a great place. If you are looking for a great community to live in, you certainly should visit Silvergate Rancho Bernardo."

"We looked at Redwood Terrace and thought it was a very nice and pleasant place. The food was good. The apartments have full kitchens and washers and dryers. Everybody was pleasant and helpful. They have everything. I really can’t say anything bad about this community at all, but Escondido was too big of a town for me. "
