"I toured Carlsbad by the sea and it was my favorite. The food is excellent, it’s just a lovely place, and it’s right by the ocean. I even signed up for it, but I backed out, because it was very expensive. It had everything. They have an outdoor and i..."

"Nazareth House was very nice, but it didn't have the accommodations that we needed because my husband wanted a place where we could both be together in one apartment. They were mostly studio apartments, and it would not work for us. They had activiti..."

"I chose Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch. It's fantastic. I went up there and I visited and they invited me to lunch and I signed a check that day. I had a full tour, I had lunch, and I met the general manager, the activities director, and the medical director..."

"Wesley Palms San Diego Retirement Community was nice, but they didn't have anything available. They had a mile track around the property, which my father likes. But if he needed more assisted living, he'll have to move to another building. Everybody ..."

"I visited Casa Escondida about a couple of months ago. The staff was very friendly when I was toured around. They even showed me a couple of apartments so that I would have an idea of what a studio or a one bedroom apartment looked like. They showed ..."

"My Dad lives in MesaView on the Independent Living side and is very happy. They give him enough independence to still do things he is able, while helping on some other things which he needs. I feel better about him being there in his nice apartment t..."

"I visited Ocean Hills Country Club. It’s not a CCRC, but an independent living. They have independent houses. They’re fine, and they offered much less than the other facilities. There’s no restaurant there, so there’s no food to evaluate. They have a..."

"I visited Casa Aldea at Carlsbad and I liked it a lot, but they have a long waiting list. I don't want meals and I don't want extras. They had activities, and they didn't have meals, so that was a plus. There's a 2-bedroom available now that I'm cons..."

"I went to Vintage Pointe Senior Apartments Phase II. They've got two years of a waiting list. I thought it was quite nice. The bottom floors are the ones that go first. Last year, in November, we put ourselves on the waitlist and they still don't hav..."

"My mom was relocated to The Village at Lakeside. We chose this community because it is about a mile to two miles away from the family. She is enjoying it. It's a senior apartment so she can handle herself. It's just a senior apartment complex so it's..."

"I toured Luther View Senior Apartments in San Diego and the staff was fantastic. He was really helpful and showed me an apartment. It was a lot smaller than the one I chose for my mom and the price was the same. They were clean, they were just small...."

"I chose The Remington Club for my mom because it's closest to my house and the price is right. They kind of offer everything. I liked it because they had some rooms that had doors to the outside, not only to the hallway inside, but doors to the outsi..."

"My mother has been at Monterey Trellis for years and we couldn't be more happy since she is happy and very content with the life that she enjoys.. Our father passed away back in 2009, so it is a great relief to have the same folks that took care of ..."

"University City Village is wonderful. The room is very spacious enough for me. The place is very safe actually. It is way too expensive, but the people are very nice. ..."

"I’m in a senior apartment complex at Southern Highlands. It is in a nice location for me because I’m familiar with this area. The staff, so far, has been excellent. In my first month here, I took a shower, but I didn’t have a shower curtain yet, so I..."
