I liked the people at Grossmont Gardens. My mother moved in there. Everybody was really friendly and really helpful. The rooms were really nice. There is a lot of light and trees around there. It was just a really beautiful setting for my mom. There are people in and out, helping her all the time. Before she went in there she was very depressed, and now she is just so happy. Every time I walk in the room she has a smile on her face, and we sit there and talk about the people who are helping her, and she is so excited. She loves the food. I had one meal there with her, and it was very good. The dining room is very pleasant; it has a lot of outside light, so the rooms are well lit and have nice views. It's only fifteen minutes from me. It's close to everything; the hospital's right there. There's all kinds of shopping right by her. It's all within a fifteen-minute drive.

We toured Grossmont Gardens. We liked the staff and the facility. The rooms were a lot roomier, and the staff was friendly. Gemma was amazing. She was one of the contact people. She's very helpful. The facility was clean. They have a heated pool. They have a sliding door from the room that could be accessed outside. They had a lot of options.

We toured Grossmont Gardens. The size of the rooms was large. One of them even has a little kitchen. It was a nice atmosphere. Everything looked clean and taken care of. They showed the dining room, the lobby, and the spaces you could sit outside.

I toured Grossmont Gardens. I lived there for over 10 years ago. I didn't taste the food again to see if anything changed there. The rooms are all the same. They're nice. They're a little pricey. I think they were up to $3000 to live there monthly and that's way out of my line. The staff was nice.

The general appearance of Grossmont Gardens was good, nice, and clean. The staff members were friendly. They showed us the respite room and I found it to be nice. The other rooms were good, too. The respite room was like a studio. They also have a dining room and an activity room.

I toured Grossmont Gardens. That was a huge facility. They had every single kind of care. They even had a lockdown unit. I really liked it, but it was out of my price budget, and for the care that my sister needed there, she was too young for it. They referred me to try to get certain funding, but she still doesn't qualify for it because she's too young. I would love to put her there, but it's too expensive because she pays out of pocket. I really enjoyed the tour. I had seen them helping some...

When I toured Grossmont Gardens, somebody else stepped in and took over, although I sat there for probably 30 minutes before. She showed me the model. They have models of their different floor plans, so I was able to see all the different ones that my father would be interested in, but she wasn't able to give me any pricing or any other information. She wasn't the person to talk to for all of that. They're supposed to call me back today, but I just wasn't impressed with the whole arrangement. Th...

My father is still at Grossmont Gardens. I would say his overall experience would just be satisfactory. There is lots of room for improvement. Of course, he did have a majority of his stay through the COVID pandemic, so that was not enjoyable. Lately, his main source of social interaction is going to the dining hall to have his three meals of the day, and it seems to be a common thing that it is shut down and their meals are brought to them in their room, so then he has no social interaction for...

My mother-in-law is a resident of Grossmont Gardens. The staff, as far as the caregivers, they're very nice. The management is not good and they keep cutting the staff, so the care goes down. We brought up this concern because at one point my mother-in-law went a week and two days without a shower, and she's supposed to get one twice a week. They were trying to make excuses, and then I said that you're cutting staff. The person I talked to says, "Oh, but we only cut the staff in the dietary." Bu...

I liked my tour at Grossmont Gardens. I like the appearance of the place. When I got inside, the directions or information that leads you to the administration building was not great, so I hope they'll improve on that. The administration is in the back, and you have parking spaces up front, and most people will be at their parking. When I got back there, I finally met with the lady, and it was a nice meeting. I didn't know that you had to bring in your own furniture, but the 1-bedroom was nice. ...

Grossmont Gardens was a very nice place, and the people seemed very nice. The room had a small kitchenette area. I only looked at independent living. The saleslady was very nice, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. The facility was very clean and very nice. They had a very nice pool. I saw a studio apartment, and it was very small. The dining area was restaurant-type.

I will be moving into Grossmont Gardens. It was fabulous. The staff was wonderful. Everything was wonderful. I'm so happy to be moving there. I looked at the dining room, and it looked like a five-star restaurant. I didn't look at the menu, but you can order a la carte, which I'll probably do a lot of. They have bunco, blackjack, and exercise. They were wonderful to me. I'm so excited to move there.

Grossmont Gardens was like an apartment complex. There was nothing wrong with it. The people were nice. It was very pretty. I liked it. The apartments didn't have a kitchen (just a sink), but it was OK. They were adequately sized. You had quite a few floor plans to choose from. San Diego County is very expensive, but it was OK. It was very clean. The staff during the tour was very nice, attentive, and very helpful. The activities were good.

I went to tour Grossmont Gardens. They're very friendly staff. They're very attentive to the time of the appointment. They're very free with showing me the grounds and the apartments. I got a very good impression overall. It's comforting and it is truly independent living. The residents have a lot of freedom to make their own decisions. The meals are included, and it seems like a nice menu. The snacks and buffet are pretty much available throughout the day for a lighter fare. I didn't taste any ...

Grossmont Gardens was over the top. If I could afford it, this would be it. It's extremely active. They had businesspeople. They had everybody in and out. It was very busy. When I went to their administrative building, there were workers in and out and service people in and out. If you fell down, you could stay there. If you were independent, you could stay there. It was all inclusive. Plus, it's close to a medical facility. It was really nice. They had everything. It was topnotch. It was run v...

I am living in Grossmont Gardens, and I've been here for about a year and a half now. It's a nice community, and I like it here. I have a studio with a kitchen and a bathroom. The staff is great. It's difficult right now because we can't go to the dining room, but the staff delivers three meals a day if you want it. The food is OK. It's just really a nice place. When we're not in COVID, the grounds are wonderful to walk and there's plenty of sidewalks to walk on. The people are very nice, and it...
