Silverado Memory Care Escondido is AMAZING!! There is no better place…read more A family friend that was on his own was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. We began a very long journey down a path we had no experience in. We first moved him into assisted living facilities. He was in assisted living for 2 months and they said he needed to go to memory care. The assisted living place he was in was nice so we moved him into their memory care. Needless to say the memory care was not treating him well. We noticed he felt very agitated and at this point in his disease he was nonverbal so he could not tell us what was wrong. He was a wonderer would walk all the time being it was a small area he kept trying to escape. We started noticing how others were being cared for and knew we had to get him out of there and find a place where he would be well cared for and would be happy. We researched and made a list of highly rated memory care facilities and we began a 2 week tour of many memory care facilities in Escondido, Vista and Rancho Bernardo. We had a list of things we were looking for to find to right facility. 1. Resident to staff ratio by California law it's a max of 5 to 1 we both agreed was way too many for even a highly trained nurse. 2. The attitude of the staff towards the residents 3. Affordability must stay on his budget 4. Cleanliness of the facility. How does it smell? Are the residents clean? 5. Do the residents look happy, is there activities for them to do. 6. Distance from our house being we will be visiting regularly. 7. Reading reviews on line on many different sources As the tours went on we came to understand there is allot of large companies that own multiple facilities and are bought and sold sometimes yearly. It is big business and with that profits can easily become the priority over patient care. You could tell corners were cut, understaffed, and untrained. High employee turnover is a major red flag. Because Silverado had the highest price they were the last one we toured mostly out of curiosity. As soon as we walked in the front door we could tell it was different. Every business has a culture and you feel it when you enter. Very welcoming staff. Many of the staff members have been there over 20 years. If you retain good people it means they are happy and will go the extra mile for the residents. Silverado is clean, organized, daily managers meeting as a former business owner I know how important this is. The lowest resident to caregiver ratio. All others were 5 to 1 California maximum. He liked to walk all the time. He was able to walk all over the facility and walk around outside in the beautiful gardens with paths, setting areas, fruit tree. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The food is really good and presented to the residents like they were going to a very nice restaurant to eat. Fast forward over a year later and hundreds of visits, nothing has changed. Same staff, same clean caring place. And a feeling when you leave from a visit every time that we made the right choice on his care.

After researching and visiting several options, my sister and I toured Escondido Senior Living--and within five minutes, we knew this was the place for her. The center is exceptionally clean, and every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It immediately felt like home, not just for us, but most importantly, for our mom. After only a few days, we've already seen a remarkable change in her. Her spirit has lifted, and it's truly heartwarming to see her smile again. It feels like life has returned to her--and for that, we are incredibly grateful. Thank you to everyone at Escondido Senior Living who helped make the transition smooth and quick. We couldn't have done it without your support. You've given our mom a fresh start, and we can't thank you enough.

I also saw in other facilities, where main areas were over the top boogie and rooms were adequate. Felicita Vida is top notch and Mom's room is gorgeous. I would live here. :-) The staff are professional and well organized. KUDOS goes to Kelly, Kim, Kaitlin! TOP TOP Notch! These pros helped me transition from SNF to Felicita Vida. Everything went smooth. Only time will tell, but I have faith in these people and in Felitica Vida. Mom said "I am going to live here forever". That makes me sad and happy at the same time. At least I know that she is happy.

We moved my uncle into Hidden Glenn Senior Living in April 2025 and were so grateful we did. He was…read more94 years-old with advancing dementia and could no longer live independently. It was a difficult decision, but the Executive Director, Bree, and her team made the entire process easier. My uncle was a man of limited means, so finding an assisted living facility with memory care that worked within his budget was a lifesaver. We even saw a dramatic improvement in his overall health a few short weeks after he moved in. In fact, he raved about how good the food was (not something I expected to hear from someone in a care facility!). It was such a Godsend to know my uncle was being looked after and cared for 24/7. The facility was well maintained and staffed for the duration of my uncle's stay (he recently passed away.). I have to give a special call-out to Bree. She was amazing from the first moment we talked over the phone. In fact, after speaking with her and visiting the facility, I knew Hidden Glenn would be the right place for my uncle. Bree even helped me with the application and approval process while she was on vacation. Her dedication and empathy for our situation was amazing and so appreciated. We also worked closely with two of the nurses, Veronica and May, who were both stellar. May even took the time to purchase and read a book that was written many years ago about my uncle just so she could gain some additional insight into the man and his history. Talk about going above and beyond! I definitely recommend Hidden Glenn. I also can't thank Bree, May, Veronica and the entire staff enough for their help, responsiveness, and kind care of my uncle at the end of his life.
