    My father was a resident at Ivy Park Memory Care, previously owned by Sunrise Living. The ownership…read moretransition was bumpy, with high initial staff turnover. Ivy Park (the company) could improve future transitions with better staffing preparedness. When Meg was hired and took over, everything improved almost overnight. She is a compassionate, knowledgeable leader who listens empathetically and followed up promptly on family questions and any concerns. She also actively engages within the larger community. I'm grateful she joined when she did. Dad loved his nurses and caregivers, and the feeling seemed mutual. The activities staff offered fun, engaging daily programs. He loved petting the pony when it came to visit. The chef prepared excellent meals with flavor and variety, and staff consistently followed special instructions, such as cutting food into smaller bites. We especially enjoyed the holiday family meals. Facilities team promptly addressed any issues that came up. Despite early ups and downs because of the ownership transition and adjusting to a new way of life, Dad was happy there--that mattered most. On his last full day, he pointed out his favorite caregivers and explained why he loved each one over dinner with me. When his time came, Ivy Park handled everything with exceptional sensitivity, professionalism, and compassion. It took me nearly two years to write this, but I'm grateful for Dad's time at Ivy Park now. They made a heartbreaking situation for him & his family far more bearable.

    One year ago this month my now 88 year-old first cousin, a retired Navy veteran, asked me to come…read moreto LA Jolla to help him find a nursing home to live out his life. I made the trip from Colorado at once and found him needing not a nursing home but an assisted living facility whereby he could get daily assistance. Luckily his doctor agreed with me and I started the process. Fortunately he had a facility in mind as it was just across from his VFW club so we set up an appointment to view Ivy Park @ La Jolla. It was love at first sight for both him and me. We started the admission process and I returned home to take care of my own business and returned to La Jolla 2 weeks later. In just 10 days I arranged his moving from his nearby apartment which he maintained for 30 years to Ivy, bought furniture for hi new apartment at Ivy, processed all paperwork needed and got him moved in Ivy on July 24th. During the last year I have made 6 trips to see him and handle different physical and financial affairs over a period of 35 days total. During this time I have witnessed a remarkable physical and mental improvement in his overall well being. He has gained almost 30 pounds due to quality nourishment of 3 wonderful daily meals. In addition to the food, the overall atmosphere at Ivy, under the leadership of Meg and her team is awesome. Meg's door is always open, not hidden in a secluded private area, but right on the 1st floor behind the reception desk. She keeps her thumb on the pulse of everything at Ivy. Meg's management team is awesome - Medical, Dietary, Housekeeping, Admissions, Maintenance, Transportation and most of all the Activity Department. This team has allowed my cousin to truly THRIVE under their care. I never had a loved one in Assisted Living but several were in Nursing Homes including my Mother for 12 years along with several aunts and uncles. I am used to caring for loved ones in the twilight of their life and I can say that I have never ever witnessed the care and compassion that is prevalent 24-7 at Ivy. In closing it is definitely difficult at times handling a loved one's care from 900 miles away but Ivy Park makes it so much easier on me, a single 79 year old bachelor. When the time arrives that I need assistance with my life I would definitely consider Ivy Park for sure. What better endorsement - actually someone willing to move to California!!! God Bless everyone at Ivy Park! Mike Hoffman

    When my 102-year-old mother came to San Diego in December 2025 for her winter stay, we realized…read morethat she had declined significantly from the previous year. While still able to get around with her walker, she needed assistance for many of her daily functions. As we are both in our late 70's, we determined that some in-home weekly assistance would be needed. Relying on Yelp reviews we contacted San Diego Home Caregivers and met with the owner Sterling Miles. It was clear from the start that finding the right caregiver and meeting all of Mom's needs was his top priority. He even gave us information on other options in case his services might not meet our needs. He is genuine in his concern and commitment to providing top level care. We could not have been more impressed when we met Mom's new caregiver Jasmine. Her cheerful, warm personality was a perfect fit, and Mom was immediately comfortable with her. She went out of her way to not only care for Mom but to also help us in any way she could. Unfortunately, by the end of January Mom was at the end stage of her life. Because she was so comfortable with Jasmine, we had her continue to come even though Mom also had Hospice care by that time. As 20 family members came to say their goodbyes over the final two weeks, they were also very impressed with how caring Jasmine was and how much Mom appreciated having her there. We highly recommend Sterling and San Diego Home Caregivers.

I saw the great reviews for San Diego Home Caregivers and reached out to them. They set up a quick home evaluation and Sterling came out to the house. My mom told me that he was so kind, gentle, and full of compassion. He then called me to fill me in on a plan to get them help. Sterling went above and beyond to provide us help. It was clear to me that Sterling is in this business because he cares more about people than simply making a dollar. If you are looking for a company that cares about those you care about, I highly recommend San Diego Home Caregivers. You will be as thoroughly impressed as us when you meet Sterling at the free home evaluation. Hope this review is helpful to you in choosing the right caregiver company!

    We were fortunate to connect with Lauren from Visiting Angels while my Mother was in a rehab…read morefacility due to a broken hip. Once Mom was able to return home we knew she would need assistance during the day while we were away. Lauren was mentioned during a support group for a rare disease my Mother has. She was very thorough, communicative and listened to what my Mother needed. It took a reasonable amount of time to find the right caregivers that meshed well with Mom. But, that was expected, as new people enter one another's lives it takes time to find the right fit. Lauren's team literally saved her life. Part of Mom's neurodegenerative disease impacts her ability to chew, and swallow. While taking her morning vitamins one day, Mom began choking and the visiting angel with her immediately knew what to do. Had the caregiver not been with Mom that day she wouldn't be us. Unfortunately because the disease continued to progress we eventually had to find a suitable home to provide her with 24 hour assistance. Had Mom's disease not progressed, we would not have stopped working with Lauren and her Visiting Angels team. Lastly, I believe SD Visiting Angels was previously owned and operated by someone else, prior to Lauren taking ownership. I cannot speak to the caliber of the earlier company, however, Lauren is a knowledgeable, genuine and caring person. We are thankful we were able to work together to source caregivers for our loved one.

She came immediately when we said that we were "shopping" for a care agency to help us with my mother with dementia. Since that very day we met, we continued to receive help, sometimes on a daily basis for almost a year. Mother has since gone into a facility which we feel will handle Mother's needs, but if i do need additional assistance, I will call Home Care of La Jolla. The person who helped us is since gone, but I am sure that the company will hire equally competent personnel.

    I was at my wits end trying to find someone to help with care for my mom on a moments notice. She…read morejust had surgery a few days prior and realized that she would need more help than she thought. Not only was Home Care of La Jolla incredibly friendly, understanding and thorough, they were extremely efficient in getting someone out to my mom's house within 2.5 hours. This was amazing to have service so quickly. We now have a home visit scheduled from a CNA for the next 4 days. Their prices are very reasonable and they are responsive. The first CNA, Mary, arrived on time and was patient and helpful. I highly recommend Home Care of La Jolla for home health care and would definitely use them again in the future for care. This company and its employees really impressed me.
