The 10 Best Independent Living Facilities in San Diego County, CA

Monte Vista Village was very, very nice. I was very happy with the tour. I loved everything. I love the studio the staff showed me, but I think I'm more interested in a one-bedroom. The closets are big. I did meet a few residents, and they were very ...

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....

Solstice of El Cajon is wonderful!!! My parents have lived here for over 10 years. Why you ask? Easy answer: the staff, the grounds, the activities, the staff, the manager, the desserts, the holiday fun..... did I mention the staff? Couldn't ask ...

I toured this facility with my mother and found it to be very inviting! It's a newer facility and the rooms are beautiful/clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My mother really liked that the rooms had full kitchens and washer/drye...

I thought Redwood Terrace was amazing. I liked their core values, and I thought it was just great. They had something like cocktails and conversation and it was like they had some snacks, beverages, cocktails, and mocktails and whatnot. The coordinat...

I went to Atria La Jolla. Atria is pretty expensive like twice what I'm paying now. But it included a lot of extras. Meals for one thing and housekeeping once a week. I enjoyed a meal while I was there. It was a lunch meal, and it was very good. The ...

I toured Atria Collwood. I liked all of the programs that they had, the different levels of care that they offered, and the way it was structured. It was like an a la carte menu. They had it in such a way that it was very transparent like that. You c...

I like that Oakmont of Escondido Hills had wide open spaces. They had a lot of interactive programs going on with large groups. And it's well planned and managed....

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 c...

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 li...

I visited the Waterford Terrace Retirement Community. It was much more of a grand entrance. The entryway was quite grand. It's a three-story building with access to outside gardens. They have rooftop gardens, and there are cottages at the top level. ...

The whole place of Lantern Crest Senior Living is very nice and very comfortable looking. The rooms are good size. The activities are nice, so we are really pleased with that place. The staff who gave the tour was great. She answered all our question...

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 do...

I'm moving into St. Paul's Manor, and I like the community. I like the size and I like the location, the fact that it's Bankers Hill, that's walking distance to downtown San Diego, walking distance to the harbor, walking distance to Hillcrest, and wa...
