We discovered The Gardens By The Sea, toured and soon moved our father into a comfortable room. It was an adjustment for him, but he was well cared for, still welcomed many visiting friends and family, enjoyed the weekly entertainment groups, the delicious food as well as the Turner Classic Movie channel on their cable. Elsa and staff were friendly, detailed and professional. Owner, David Cooper, was often present to say "Hello" and ask if all was good. We definitely made a wise decision for the benefit of everyone in our family. Thanks to everyone at The Gardens by the Sea! J&J

Throughout this time, our experience has consistently been positive. From the moment I began working with their team, the staff at Glenbrook has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to providing high-quality care. The nurses and caregivers are attentive, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure each resident's comfort and dignity. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers a warm, welcoming environment. Communication is another standout strength which provides great peace of mind for both families and care partners. In my role, I've also had the opportunity to collaborate closely with their team during residents' transitions back home with caregiving support. Their coordination during these transitions is outstanding, ensuring that residents and their families feel fully prepared and supported every step of the way. All of the families we've assisted following discharge from Glenbrook Health Center consistently share positive feedback about their experience, which further reflects the quality of care provided. What truly sets Glenbrook apart is their personalized approach to care. It's clear that the team takes the time to understand each resident's unique needs and works diligently to create a respectful and supportive environment. I would confidently recommend Glenbrook Health Center to anyone seeking skilled nursing care for a loved one.

First of all, this is being written 4 months after my MIL's death. I have had time to process…read more This review is based on facts, not my opinion. Secondly, my MIL lived at Sunrise La Costa for 8 1/2 years. It started going down hill about 2019. As bad as we saw it, Sunrise was her home and elderly people don't like change. We couldn't convince her to move. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend Sunrise to my worst enemy. My mother-in-law lived there 8 1/2 years. What we saw occurred over years, not a short period of time. In 8 1/2 years, her room was never painted, recarpeted and nothing was done to maintain the bathroom. They recently remodeled the common area, but if you go into a room, the carpet is worn, stained and probably smells. Weekly cleaning consisted of vacuuming the middle of the room and a quick wipe down of the bathroom counter. Her care levels would be increased (along with her monthly fees), and we were not notified until after it occurred and I got a higher bill. When I called to inquire about why the bill was higher, they said 'we talked to your mother-in-law. She agreed to the new care'. As the responsible bill paying person I should've been made aware of levels of care and costs. At one point, they overcharged me $8000 for a one month bill. I called to disputed it, I was told it would be taken care of. Then my bill next arrived. The overcharge hadn't been taken care of and a day later, I got a letter in the mail saying I was being sent to collections. Sent to collections over their billing mistake! Two days, 5 phone calls to Sunrise, none of which were returned and finally a phone call to corporate the mistake was cleared up. There was only bus service for drs appointments on Wednesdays. My MIL's cardiologist wasn't in the office on Wednesday, so she had to change doctors. The staff, especially after Covid was a revolving door. I never knew who to talk to. I would call talk to one billing person or Care staff, a week later I would call us to talk to the same staff, and I was told they were gone. This happened time and time again. As far as care? When we were paying $10,000/ month, we'd expect decent care. My mother-in-law fell at one point. I was called. I was told of her fall and I was told they were taking care of it. My daughter happened to visit my mother-in-law five days later. My daughter called and asked if I knew my mother-in-law hadn't left her room in five days because she was in so much pain. The staff never called to tell me this. I drove down from Los Angeles, took my mother to the doctor and found out she had a fractured pelvis and cracked shoulder blade . On her last illness, she called me at 9:30 in the morning. She said she didn't feel good, she'd been throwing up for two days, she had been refusing her medication for two days. She had told four staff members that she didn't feel good, no one did anything. It wasn't until I called and talked to the head nurse that they looked at her. I asked the head nurse why they didn't do anything for her. His response was that she never complains. I asked if she never complains, why wasn't she heard or listen to when she did complain. He had no answer. When we learned of my MIL's final illness and she was moved to hospice. No one called from Sunrise to check in on her or us. When I called to tell the director she wouldn't be coming back, there were no words of sympathy or care. All I heard was the room had to be emptied in 30 days. I know the director had only been there a few months, but my MIL was a long term resident. I got more words of sympathy and concern when I called to cancel her Mastercard! Other Sunrises may be different. My experience with Sunrise La Costa is that they are a money making operation, not the family atmosphere they advertise.

Every interaction--whether clinical, administrative, or simply part of daily life--has been marked by warmth, attentiveness, and an authenticity that's hard to find. The team is always smiling, always present, and always willing to help, creating an environment that feels welcoming and lived‑in rather than institutional. We looked at many other communities, and we're so glad we made this choice. Director‑level engagements across departments have been consistently professional, responsive, and solution‑oriented, giving us confidence that leadership is aligned and invested in my parents' well‑being. What has mattered most to us is the sense of partnership: the team listens, follows through, and treats our parents as individuals with histories, preferences, and personalities--not just residents. Issues are addressed quickly, transitions are handled smoothly, and the consistency of care has given our family real peace of mind. We're grateful for the humanity and professionalism that define Santianna, and we feel fortunate to have found a community that delivers not just services, but genuine support.

When it was time to take that next step and her family needed to choose the best option for a memory care facility their search finally ended when they found Silverado Memory Care in Escondido. Now that my dear friend has been living there she is so happy every time we come visit her. We just came to see her last night and she was relaxed while watching a funny movie with other residents. She and some of the others were laughing out loud about this particular movie. Recently one of her daughters attended one of their many fun events when they had an Elvis impersonator. I saw the pictures and could tell they had an amazing time! They were dancing and singing and interacting with "Elvis." Every time we have popped in for a visit and no matter what time of day or night everyone seems happy and well cared for. We have had good experiences with everyone that works there. They have all been kind, warm, friendly and helpful. My dear friend loves living there. She is at a stage of Alzheimer's where she has a need for a lot of wandering and walking and she is free to do so at this facility. She can also go outside in their beautiful yard and enjoy some sun and fresh air. I am grateful we can pop in to see her there anytime and know she is happy and doing so well. I am tearing up wrapping up this review because I am so grateful.
