They have meals, physical therapy, laundry service and the patients are cared for and respected. My past experience with rehabs and skilled nursing facilities has not been good. Granted the facilities were in Riverside and San Bernadino County, not San Diego. St Paul's is excellent. The building is older, but the staff are top notch, the place is clean and everyone is cared for. There is a check in kiosk inside the door. The nurses are helpful to visitors as well as their patients. Visiting hours are 8am to 7pm ish. Thank you for taking great care of my friend. I look forward to seeing my friend home soon.

I was surprised to see the poor review posted on 4/1 by the woman who's grandfather passed while at…read moreSt. Paul's. My 91 year old mother has been a resident there for more than 3 years and my experience with a majority of the staff and Esabel Cano in particular has been very positive. I live in New Jersey and am unable to see my mother more than a few times a year. I rely on Esabel and the other staff like Rosa, Sol, Randy and the other nurses and CNA's to not only provide compassionate medical care for my mother but to also to ensure that her day to day living is as pleasant as possible. My mother can be a very difficult and demanding person that requires an enormous amount of patience. Without going into the gory details, I will just say that anyone that can deal with her is a saint. They are always sensitive and caring to her and keep me informed on her situation regularly. I must also so that I have been extremely impressed with the precautions that the facility have put in place to ensure the safety of residents during this pandemic. While it is difficult for families not to be able to see their love ones, I for one am very grateful that visitors are no longer permitted in the facility. Their proactive and well-thought out plan for protecting residents should be applauded. It is pretty amazing that not one patient has contracted the virus. In normal situations, these jobs are difficult. The staff are putting their lives at risk every day and I for one, am extremely grateful.

This is my second review. It has been 6 months since my…read moresister has been a resident here. I'm there everyday from 2:45 to 7:00pm. I had to buy a new mattress because the old one was severely stained. When replacing the mattress I saw that the frame was infested with spiders. I cleaned and eliminated all the spiders. Out side of my sisters room is an area with an umbrella and some chairs. The cushions are worn and weathered. The old mattress with others are leaning against the outside walls of the other residence. Not a pretty sight. They are covered with blue tarps. There is a Hugh lack of communication when you don't understand the aids who (some only speak Spanish). Some do speak English. I've used my translator app to translate this to them. Doesn't work apparently when this happens day in and day out. My sister becomes very upset when she isn't able to communicate same as anyone who you depend on for your support. I've hired two full time caregivers and I'm there 28 hours a week. So my review has accurate information. If no one is at the front desk to let you enter or exit you have to wait until someone comes. Last night my caregiver waited ten minutes before she entered the facility. You need a code to unlock the doors. The understaffing (3) employees to serve the needs of 39 residents give or take 2 or three is an impossible task. My sister developed a rash on her chest from a lack of showers. One of My caregivers noticed this and it is being taken care of by them. The towels that are used are worn out and should be replaced. From holes to torn ends. I always have to ask for them because they don't replace them after my sister has showered. The dinner meals are pasta based. Some fish with overcooked vegetables. And a scoop of white rice. Turkey or egg salad Sandwiches have been served multiple times for dinner with a glass of juice and water always given. The two ladies who do laundry for all the 39 residents also clean the hallway and the residents Rooms. Way to much for two people to do a good job. I feel for them. The Mercedes Benz van that sits out front of the place does just that. Sits. No one who works there full time can drive it!!. The maintenance man is there two days a week and he is the only one I ever saw drive it to renew the registration. So don't plan on doing any sightseeing. Or keeping a doctors appointment unless you have transportation. The only reason my sister is there because I've had to hire two full time caregivers as I stated earlier and I live close by. I've asked the Administrator to have the cable company come and find out why more than a few channels are not getting good signals. The maintenance person tried but still not good. The blinds in my sisters room are in need of replacement not repair which has been tried more times than I can count. (I even tried). Leaving no privacy when one or more are missing. I hope this review helps others to understand what they might experience when looking for a place for there Loved Ones Jon Mendicino

The caregiving staff is the most loving, patient and wonderful people I have been in contact with. My mom was at ActivCare for a short time but was loved by everyone there. They became like our second family to my mom and also our entire family. I visited my mom daily and got to know all the caregivers there. The nurses, med techs, and all the wonderful people that kept the entire place so clean were helpful and smiled all the time. My mom enjoyed the food also.

Please reach out to Jeremy, who is the Family Advisor if you need any questions answered regarding care for a love one...I spoke to Jeremy about a year before my mom moved into ActivCare; that's how impressed with this facility I was that I reached out after a year.

All four of us visited and toured several facilities both in Northern and Southern CA. We wanted to find a place for dad that we felt comfortable live in ourselves. Dad had been living in Northern CA for most of his life, so when my husband and I visited Cloisters (several times), and had met with Tia and other staff members, we felt that it would be the best fit for him, it was still a big leap of faith as it was major move for dad at such an advanced age. Now it has been 3+months and dad has fully adjusted to the facility, met new friends and very much enjoying his new home. Always greeting you with warm smile, Tia is the driving force that keeps everything going the right direction, but each and every person that we have had the pleasure of meeting so far have been caring, attentive and a joy to know. We usually visit dad twice a day every day, so we don't miss much. We would like to specially recognize Marlene who has been exceptionally careful when she is showering dad who had a foot surgery recently. Just last week we celebrated dad's 98th birthday with a cake for everyone at Cloisters. My favorite aspect of the facility is that every room has a view, and most rooms have a private patio access to an immaculately maintain garden brimming with roses, cannas, bougainvillea, many shady trees, hummingbirds and butterflies and many pollinators flitting about, that would cheer up the gloomiest of moods. Lastly I would like to add that I would personally like to live at cloisters when my time comes. Thank you Tia and Team for taking such good care of our dad as if he is your own.

We feel we're working together with the staff and administrators here to optimize the situation--one person is having trouble adjusting to being away from home; the other calls the Gardens home. Several hospice nurses and two garden volunteers from the community, as well as a few visitors we've met, have assured us that this is generally an excellent place, especially when compared with the range of what's "out there." My own observations are that the staff work cheerfully and are very helpful. They know the residents well, are kind, and have been communicative with us. The activities staff are terrific. Administrators are responsive and staff really engages our loved ones, encouraging them to participate in activities in their building and at the lovely organic produce gardens that supply vegetables and flowers for the care and local communities. The therapeutic gardening program brings in community volunteers and students. One of our seniors with dementia feels that the menu is somewhat repetitive. Admin arranged a meeting with the director of food services, who personally came twice to chat with our relative about it. This person doesn't like vegetables and there are healthy amounts of those given at meals--hence we have a problem for our veggie-hater. We appreciate the admin taking it seriously.
