Memory Care Communities in La Mesa, CA

"My grandmother has actually made her decision, and right now she’s in the process of getting the doctor’s clearance; then, we’ll contact the facility to set the date. She's moving into Westmont at San Miguel Ranch. The whole facility is just gorgeous. It is set on its own property, so that is really nice. There is not a lot of traffic in the area, but it’s also centrally located to some of the other stores. On the west side, it looks like it is isolated and up on a hill with nothing around, but it actually has some shopping and dining just right across the street. The location of it is really good. It’s also really close to my grandpa, which is a factor in her deciding which facility. Also, they have a lot more customization as to whatever she wants. Like if she wants to move different furniture or if she wants something different as a meal, they’re a little more catering to her. We spent a lot of time there, all the people were really nice, and they had a lot more activities. Also, the one that I like that I don’t think my grandmother realize is it’s a non-smoking facility. There’s no smoking. My grandmother smokes, and she needs to not smoke, so being there is going to make it difficult for her to smoke because she has to go all the way out of the property; she won’t be able to do that. So I really like that it’s non-smoking because not only that she cannot smoke but she also will not be tempted to smoke by other smokers. The only thing is I would have liked to see is more outdoor community areas for just the family. They do cater to families coming in; there is reserved seating and separate dining that you can rent out. The theater is gorgeous. They do have the Wii, and I’m sure it would be more of a hazard maybe to have more outdoor activities, but I would like to see my grandmother being more active outdoors. "

"It was clean. We weren't impressed with it as much as the other place because of its location to our house. The rooms weren't as big as those at the other facility. The staff was knowledgeable. They have a courtyard area, a gym, and a library. The hospital is down the road, maybe about three or four miles."

"It had what I was looking for and was a beautiful facility. Two little dogs come and greet you. Everything seemed great. I took my mom there on Friday, but she caught a flu and I had to bring her to the hospital. The place was great. I thought it was a very nice facility. They did a good job there and had contact with residents. They had walking clubs, bingo, and exercise classes. However, you had to be able to get up and do these stuff yourself or be encouraged by whoever was taking care of you. It was a great facility, which was why I chose it for my mom. "

"My mother moved into Gold Canyon Care Home. They seem pretty good so far. Everybody is really nice. Her room is very nice. She's going to end up with a roommate, but right now there's no roommate. She has a closet, a dresser, and they put pictures up on the dresser. She has a TV in the room. The bed looks like it will move, it's got like the up and down thing, like a hospital bed, and that's good. I think she'll like that. The first day I was there, they brought home some deli Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, and it was really good. But my mom didn't like eating that day, so they told me to give her Ensure. They have games, and they have a time where they all get together and do things together in one big room. It looks like they have a nice big kitchen and a lot of staff. They have lots of bathrooms, it's the walk-in kind, they can wheelchair her in and give her a bath. They have a patio deck going all the way around the house, and in the backyard they have a big view looking over a canyon, and they have barbecues out there. It's very nice."

"We toured Fredericka Manor; the lady explained everything, and she was very professional. After her presentation and us touring the facility, my youngest daughter and I decided that we would make application for residency there. The room was absolutely fabulous. The entry was the kitchenette, straight ahead was the living room, to the left was the bedroom, and off of it was a walk-in shower and bathroom. It's more than I expected, and I would be able to use my VA entitlement. "

"Ivy Park at Otay Ranch is a very clean and very friendly place. My brother-in-law likes it and they have great food. Their rooms are pretty big and it's very clean. He shares a room with someone in memory care and he's well taken care of. The staff is great and he enjoys their presence. He's very happy with them. They do games including memory games and bingo, exercise, and music therapy. They also go on field trips."

"St. Paul' Plaza is opulent as far as the amenities. They have a pub. They have different types of food that you can order a la carte. The facility itself is brand new (I think). It looked brand new. They have lots of activities there, and they have a very nice courtyard."

"The staff are friendly and caring, the scenery is nice. It is very clean and inviting. "

"We had a nice tour of Belmont Village Sabre Springs. The grounds are quite pleasant. I think there are 160 residents there, so it's smaller than another place that I looked at. To me, that's an advantage. It was very, very clean. The surroundings were pleasant and kind of old-style. The staff who gave me the tour was great. She gave us a brochure with all the information that we needed. She was very thorough. She took us to several apartments that were open, so we could get a sense of the size and what they were like. I asked questions about assisted living, and she answered those questions also. I felt like she did a very good job of explaining everything that I needed to know. There are set times for each meal. I saw the dining room and it's also an area where they have snacks and stuff. The place was very clean. It had very low-fiber carpeting on the halls, so it was much easier to walk. Everything was very lovely. They had lovely pictures. It's just more old-style furnishings. There's a beauty shop that's open three days a week. There's a very nice area for a small gym with different things that you could work out on. The staff explained that there was a full-time nurse, too. There's also an outdoor pool, a sitting area, and a putting green. This area is quite lovely. It has a nice view. It's very small but what was there was nice and nicely maintained. The staff also explained that people had planted their own plants and stuff. "

"We chose it because it was clean, the people were friendly and it was close to my home. The staff were friendly and helpful even to me. The rooms were spacious. I would recommend this facility to other people. "

"Oakmont of Pacific Beach seems very nice. It's expensive, but nice. My friend has been there for a month now. The community has lots of good activities. They take them out once a week on outings in a bus, if they can go or want to go. They have excellent food and good care. The staff is fine. They're very attentive to my needs and hers. She has a studio. It's a new brand facility in the last three years so. It's a studio, so it's small. It's accommodating for her, and it's fine. They have one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms."

"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."

"I toured Sun and Sea Manor. The grounds were lovely. They had a lot of plants. It's not big; it was okay. However, I didn't like the room that we saw because it was like a double room. It had two beds, and they didn't use the bathroom in the room for showers. They had to go down the hall. The staff was excellent though. He was very helpful. The dining area was okay. It's very small. They had people there working with the residents. In terms of activities, they had a group there and they were playing some kind of game."
