Memory Care Communities in Lemon Grove, CA

"I really liked it. I liked the location. I liked the grounds. I liked the building. There were tons of residents out and about. It was lunchtime and it was like a stampede into the dining room, so that made me think the food was pretty good. Their apartment was just fine. I'm having a hard time because the bedrooms are all a little bit smaller than what I anticipated. I think that my folks will have to probably get a smaller bed, but that looks like that would be at any facility. Other than that, the apartments were just fine. I did like that they had some one-bedroom apartments on the first floor that opened out into the courtyard. They also had a lot of one-bedroom apartments that had balconies. It would be in my top three. I just need to confirm that they're going to be able to provide a gluten-free meal plan for my mother. The chef didn't know anything about it. The staff was good. The main difference is they don't have the big pretty lobby when you walk in."

"I toured Ivy Park at Bonita. The facility seemed more in line with what I needed for my mother in terms of her desire to walk. Everyone was very happy. They like to mingle together very well. The staff was good. They were very friendly. They have been there a long time which says a lot about them."

"My sister moved into Westmont at San Miguel Ranch. The staff members are caring, interesting, and friendly. I like the cleanliness. They're on time when they say they're going to be somewhere. They're very helpful. The dining area is very clean and client-friendly, as far as conversations with other people. They have a happy hour. They take the patients out on trips. They have entertainment that comes in. They have social meetings for the residents. It's a good facility."

"Fredericka Manor is lovely, but we absolutely would not be able to afford that and continue running the household here. The person who gave the tour was very, very nice. I even spoke to some of the nursing staff and everything, and it's a nice place. The dining area was fantastic. It was like a 5-star restaurant-type thing. The room was very nice. The one we looked at had just been redone. It had a new bathroom. The staff was helpful, too."

"I toured Lantern Crest Senior Living. They seem to know the residents, and they have a lot of different activities. Their fee is inclusive. The staff seemed to be attentive to the residents. It's a beautiful campus, but it's big. It might have been overwhelming to my dad, although I liked the place a lot."

"I went to Ivy Park at Otay Ranch, and it was a very nice tour. I met with another family while they were there, so that was kind of nice. They're probably a top contender. The only negative I had was I felt like their menu selections were a little limited if the woman was giving me the correct information on their dining room. The facility was very nice. They have a beautiful lobby when you walk in there. They had an area for happy hours and stuff that was very nice. It's in a very nice neighborhood. When you're driving up and walking up to the building, it's nice. I think they had the ability to do gluten-free there."

"I've had a lot of experience at St. Paul's Plaza. My godmother was there. She was independent, but if you're medical status changed, you pay a little extra. She went from independent to assisted because she had to have help after her. She was a resident for about two years. When you drive through, there's not a lot of parking, but there's a lot of street parking. On weekends, you could park at the hospital across the street in their parking lot. It's a gated community. It has a grass area with a playground for the kids, a dog park, and an area where they celebrate, like Veteran's Day. They have barbecues out there and music. When you go inside, it has marble and nice rich wood. They have a formal dining room, so if the family wants to use it, they can have their food or have their food catered. There are elevators. You can either have a one-bedroom or a studio. The living area has a kitchen with a small top two-burner stove, lots of cabinets, and a large closet as you come into the door. The bathroom is large and is located in the bedroom if you have the one-bedroom and there are two closets in the bedroom, which was nice. The shower area is large, where you can roll a wheelchair and scoot over into your shower chair. You have to provide your own internet. There's a large park across the street if you want to take your parent or your loved one out and stroll through the park. Their dining room is nice. They also have a bar with TVs. It's like Buffalo Wild Wings where you have the TVs on the wall showing the different games, and they have a bar where the residents can have a wheelchair roll up to the bar or residents can sit in the bar stools and you can get beer and wine. They have a meal plan where you either have breakfast, lunch, and dinner or you can reduce your cost by just choosing one or two meals. They have a gym with a physical therapist onsite at all times. They have a swimming pool and a therapy pool. The staff is really nice. The doors close at 11:00, and you ring the doorbell. I believe there's staff there 24/7 or you have a scan, so you can get back in. It's easy to get around. It had very nice wide hallways. They have exercise every morning where you just come right out your door and everyone in that hallway who wants to participate just does hallway exercise. Each floor has a full-sized kitchen and a large area for families to have their own little cookouts and meals together."

"Gold Canyon Care Home was nice. It looked like more of a home than a big assisted living. It looked like a family-run business that you would fit in. The atmosphere's nice. They would let my mom's dog come and they even came out to visit my mom this weekend. It's just that the price was steeper than we expected. They had a big TV room, exercise equipment, and a big deck that you could go around and that it overlooked a canyon. It was a big house. It was like two houses put together with a quarter in the middle. One house was for their family and caregivers and the other side was for their guests. It was nice looking to me. My husband thought so, too. It was in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We met the owners and they're friendly, informative, and seemed caring."

"I toured Sun and Sea Manor. They were super nice. The place looked good and nice. The people were nice. The room was nice. The staff member who toured me around was great. They're very helpful, friendly, and down to earth. The tour was very quick because we realized it was much more care and more expensive than we needed."

"The Christmas brunch was excellent. The food was delicious and a nice variety of dishes."

"Oakmont of Pacific Beach is outstanding, but it's very expensive. It is outstanding in terms of what it offers. They have a special floor for memory care. They have the state of the art just up to date with Alzheimer's. They work with the Alzheimer's Association. They offer good food and balanced diets for the patients. They have a lot of activities and a lot of care. You have your own shower in your room. There's a lot more personal care there. The staff members were very attentive. They have a restaurant that is open in the morning until seven at night. There's no rigid schedule. It is very flexible. The facility was pristine."

"I chose Vi at La Jolla Village. It's total care to the end and I won't have to move. I want to get one spot and stay there till I die. It's independent living but it goes into assisted living in the same facility, same building, and same room. You don't have to move up each place. It's considered a CCRC, which is complete care. There wasn't anything that I disliked about the view from the very first time I entered the building. I fell in love with it. It was refurbished. Everything's new, everything's clean, and everything is eye-appealing. All of their activities are amazing. The staff was amazing. I had lunch there, and the food was superior. They have a gym. They have a pool inside. They have yoga classes, a library, and a movie theater."
