"I had an in-person tour of the Abby Gardens, and it was a good tour. For long-term care, it seemed pretty good. I just felt it was for someone who needed much more care than my mom needed. It's very sterile. They have two beds in the room. The facility was very clean. They had lots of activities scheduled. It's a great location. All the people there were very nice. I would suggest it for long-term care for somebody with dementia and those kinds of issues. The staff was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and was very helpful."

"My mother is in LifeHOUSE San Diego Healthcare Center. It seems like it's an acceptable, OK place. It’s a big place with 300 beds. When you first come in, it's very impressive, and they clean the rooms every day. Some days it smells OK and some days it smells like urine, but it really depends on which part of the facility you are in. It's a pretty clean place overall. The staff is knowledgeable, and if you have a complaint or concern, they're pretty receptive, which is good. "

"I put my husband at Mission Hills. The nurses there are very good at taking care of patients. Excellent! The nurses are fantastic. They are all working everyday with patients. They knew what's going on with patients, and that's fantastic. I love Mission Hills. However, I'm not happy with the food. "

"Hillcrest Residential Care is awesome. They have two caregivers per six people. They also have a registered nurse that helps with the administration of the medication. It's very nice and very clean. My mother is bedridden, so they get her up and out of bed every day into the front room where there is social time. They prepare their food, wash them, clean them, feed them, medicate them, get them up and out, and help them get dressed. It's a residential home. The cooking is all done there, but they kind of overcook the meat. It's Filipino style, which is absolutely phenomenal, but my mother is picky."

"My mother is in Balboa Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. The care has been excellent. They need more staff, but they're doing what they can do. The place has been amazing, and she has been on and off in there, and they're wonderful. I'm pleasantly surprised with the food. Her room is very clean. They have activities, but she's not interested in them. I have no problems with this place. They provide physical and occupational therapy. I've only been in the therapy room a couple of times, but it seems very equipped and clean. The therapists are very polite and they keep me very much informed. She always has fresh linen. She has a TV in her room and a telephone. Food's brought in to her if needed. I've been very pleased. They're like family. They've been amazing."

"St. Pauls Health Care Center has a caring group of people. They have a beauty parlor, they do their nails, and they give a lot attention to the person so it's pretty nice. They take them on outings during the day for day trips, and they have a game room and all sorts of activities inside the facility so they're pretty involved. "

"We liked Ridgeview Health Center. Everything looked good. The person who gave the tour was excellent except the price was almost out of reach. The rooms were very nice and it's got nice windows. If you get a private room, it's $500 a day, and if they go to a semi-private room, it's $420 a day. The rooms were nice. The dining area was also very nice. The place was excellent."

"I’ve visited this facility many many times with a friend who’s brother is in the sub acute unit. I’ve seen the renovations that have been completed and the changes in management and I’ve definitely seen a change for the better. The staff is always so kind and goes out of their way to check on us to see if we have any questions about the services being provided. I hope to never have a family member in this medical situation, but if I do I’d definitely have them cared for at Golden Hill. "

"There are a lot of things that I could award this nursing center with, but I will just focus on a few of them. First off, I would say they are professional. They handle every situation calmly and effectively. When my grandmother was checked into the facility, I had my suspicions. I have heard the kind of things that happen in nursing centers and was weary to let anything happen to my grandmother. My opinion was instantly changed when I met the staff and personnel at the center. From the kind and responsive customer service, to the optimistic faces of the elderly, I knew that I could put my trust into this place. Another surprising thing is the food that they serve is actually GOOD! Who would have thought!? You would normally think of nursing home food as hospital food but it is far from that. All I can say is that if you know of an elderly person in need of finding a good home, this will be the perfect fit for them. "

"I was very impressed with University Care Center in San Diego. They had a very nice facility with professional Cali-style landscaping, and a very clean interior with a welcoming atmosphere that was nothing like a "typical nursing home." They were located right next to a hospital, and were within walking distance of a very large park where the elderly could go sit with their visitors. My client had everything nice to say about this facility, from the food to the staff to his treatment - which is the most important part. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in the San Diego area. "

"I moved my mom to Brighton Place. I liked their customer service much better, and the people seemed to be more caring. It’s an older building, but it is clean, and the nursing staff is more attentive. "

"Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was being rehabilitated, so it was very nice and clean. The physical therapy staff was very thorough and worked very well with my father and the other residents. The nursing staff seemed fairly attentive, and they seemed knowledgeable. They had long-term staff that's been there, and I think they had a pretty good attitude considering they had been there for a long time. "
