I never thought I would call my mother at a skilled nursing home and have her tell me " I absolutely love this place, and cannot talk right now because I am busy". What a massive weight off of my wife and my shoulders after already had intensively searched many other North San Diego County similar facilities and took tours. We also had a bad taste in our mouths and hearts never forgetting a past nightmare my late father had to endure in terrible conditions in a local facility back in 2012. So with this past very bad experience with dad, hearing mom say things like this elates us both. My mother has been living at Brookdale Oceanside now for a month and a half and we cannot thank the following very attentive staff members: 1 - Rosie, 2 - Matt, 3 -Danica, 4 - Alexis, 5 - Sinai and 6 -Dess we cannot thank you all enough for everything you are doing for mom on a round the clock daily basis you guys got a tough job. Anyone reading this you can contact me anytime @ 1-760-840-1551 Captain Roy to ask about this facility, Mom can be stubborn sometimes and require special attention but this place rocks. I often thank God for helping me find this place at the 11th hour, my wife and I had selected another facility first but they starting racking my moms bill and she was not even physically moved in yet! You cannot go wrong with Brookside Oceanside and Noel the sales lady is the "cherry on top". . . read more

Brookdale Oceanside - Mom before she had to leave her home for decades - Skilled Nursing Near Me - Oceanside, California

See all

I have worked with Brookdale oceanside for the last few years. The staff is very friendly, they know their residents well. Their activities are always active! From petting zoos, to painting, luaus and more. There is always something going on to keep their residents busy if that's what they want. Both memory care and assisted living offers this. read more

My friend's dad (& my sweet friend) came here and it's been an absolutely amazing experience! He didn't want to leave home at first, but had fallen and broken a vertebrae in his back...my friend knew he couldn't stay at home anymore.. Now he has so many friends and loves the wonderful staff...and the food! He's so happy here and that makes us so happy! Thank you, Brookdale Oceanside! This has been a dream come true ! read more

I love this facility! The way they care for their residents is incredible!! Would highly recommend!

My dad's currently been staying at this facility for the last 6 years. Not only do the staff show interest in his life and make sure that he's comfortable, they empathize and actually care for all the residents. read more

Starting my review to say a family member is not in this facility, but the customer service is top notch. I met with Candi, who showed me around the facility, introducing me to residents and staff. She mentioned she started in that company, then came back, spanning the course of I think close to a decade of being there. She knew everyone by name, and the residents seemed to love her as well. Ultimately, and unfortunately, our budget would not accommodate assisted living. When I voiced that to Noel (our original point person), she was extremely understanding and then referred me to home health nurses - with nothing gained - just wanted to help us out. That, to me, says they are truly passionate about the people they care for. It was really appreciated. read more

My close family friend ended up staying here and cannot speak higher of it. Kevin did a wonderful job getting them all up to speed. The place seems to be a great fit for our family friend. He loves it there. read more

Brookdale Oceanside is so welcoming! Their staff is caring, the leadership team is responsive, and overall each visit has been a pleasant experience. Aubrey in memory care is excellent! read more

We've had the pleasure of working closely with Brookdale Oceanside, and I can say they are true advocates for their residents. Candi, Jessica, and Audry go above and beyond to ensure every need is met and always with compassion, professionalism, and a sense of urgency that gives families peace of mind. What stands out most is how much they genuinely care. From my experience, many families choose this community not just because it's reasonably priced, but because the transition from assisted living to memory care is handled with such thoughtfulness and grace. Additionally, they work hard to keep their residents engaged and having fun. As an outside provider, I also really appreciate that they hold high standards for their partners. It's clear they expect the best for their residents and they don't settle for anything less. read more

The staff here are top notch! Everyone is friendly and caring, I would recommend this location to anyone looking for trusted care.

I know several people that decided to live at this assisted living facility. They have all said that all of their needs are taken care of. The quality of care provided is outstanding, and the food offerings are ideal. read more

Brookdale Oceanside is a fantastic place to live. Great people work here. Food is great! I am very comfortable talking with the Executive Director because she cares. read more

My mother ended up staying there unexpectedly for 1 year. That one year ended up being the best year of her life. She made so many friends, including staff. Family friendly, a place that makes everyone feel at home. All branches of support were caring, respectful, and encouraging to her and her special needs, especially Patricia Pedroza. It warmed our hearts and put us at rest knowing she was in good hands with people who truly cared about her. There is so much to be said about the Director, housekeeping, restaurant staff, everyone...I could go on for hours. The experience we had makes me look forward to the day I need help and can depend on Brookdale Oceanside for my every need. Farru Guerrero read more

If you're looking for affordable living this is the best option probably in the area but consider these things if you're looking for dementia and Alzheimer care. So my gramma was here for not long at all. she was in the dementia/ Alzheimer's side. There's a FEW of the MORNING staff that were helpful and pleasant so I'm not talking about those women at all. They are always understaffed. It's incredible to me that there's only one person to like 10 people how do you manage all that? My gramma fell multiple times went to the ER even. You can't possibly watch that many people at once including the rooms being all open. We paid extra for extra help but never received it. Before we even signed up we were told a lot of lies. I would rate the care 5/10. I think the regular assisted living is a lot better people seem pleasant and helpful, more workers but the people that need it the most they are lacking. Just about everyone needs help eating, walking, getting dressed, using the bathroom, showering. Litterally everything. I feel bad for the workers that don't get paid enough or enough help. We took her out due to this exact reason. Thank you:) read more

I recently visited this facility while on vacation. I was skeptical at first, as I'm out of state now and away from my grandmother. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I met Patricia, who is one of my grandmother's caregivers, what an absolute angel. I can't say enough about the care she displayed and how my grandmother seems to genuinely enjoy her presence. It's nice to know people like her are there for the elderly folks. She even went so far as to print out a picture and frame it for my grandmother to keep in her room. Thank you so much for taking care of her. It truly means more than my words could ever express. read more

My dad has been living at the Brookdale Oceanside for almost two years. He said it's home and he feels safe. The staff take great care of him, and customer service is a top priority. He enjoys the many activities, especially B-fit. read more

I've only been at Brookdale of Oceanside for a short. Of time but I can tell you in a short. Of time I've been simply Amazed by how good everything is the staff the food everything just could not be better people go out of their way to make sure that your needs are met and in most cases it exceeded. If you don't give Brookdale a good look you're cheating yourself read more

My Father was here for a few months. He was constantly neglected in his room, laundry would pile up despite it saying it was laundry day twice weekly. The care staff was hit or miss. At one point his jewelry was stolen right off of his body and never found. The woman working at the front desk at the time also stated that there had been lots of turnover of the staff, and she had had money stolen from her purse while on the job. I would look elsewhere if you are looking for a place for your loved one. read more

We had our mom here for 4 months. Now that we have moved mom to a new facility, we have something to compare to. Thus, the one star rating. Our experience at this facility was absolutely horrid. First, the staff was much more concerned about complying with "the rules" then they were with the well-being and care of the residents. Second, any complaint or concern of family or visitors was met with excuses and lip service. Third, It was obvious that most of the staff didn't like being there (we rarely saw staff smile) - and the turnover reflected it. Forth, it always smelled bad - no matter what day or time you went. If you have a choice, DO NOT leave your loved one in this place - there are much better options!! read more

Horrible experience at this facility. Care was suspect and the manager's behavior criminal.

Great caring staff. Community has recently changed leadership and management roles for the better.

Brookdale was a great move for my 85 year old Mother. The staff is extremely attentive and keep me posted. She is healthier and more sociable. read more

Thank you to the staff for taking care of my mom will miss you all!!! Brookdale is a wonderful caring facility in Oceanside to help take care of our elderly. read more

I am so impressed by the experiences my father has had at Brookdale Oceanside. Their staff are the most qualified, patient, compassionate and they are extremely well organized in the daily living of people that cannot live on their own. They make loved ones of a elderly person extremely at ease, knowing their loved one is being cared for by the staff at Brookdale Oceanside! I give my kudos to this facility! Thank you, Brookdale Oceanside!!! read more

I was visiting a relative and unfortunately witnessed the facility manager being insensitive, demanding, cold, heartless, inflexible and cruel. You would expect a home like this to be warm, friendly, and understanding of the needs of the elderly. This was shocking and very sad. I feel very badly that my relative has to live there. read more

I cannot get a single response to any question via email or phone call about my dads care- I have all decision making power legally. No returned emails, phone calls, any thing. His primary care physician says his health is so bad- as a result of neglectful nursing, which we pay for!!! The VA called his care "nominal" based on all of his lab results. Nominal=900 per month we are charged in nursing fees. My dad pays 2300 a month for a studio. They call it "rent". We pay for so much more than rent (rent for a studio in Oceanside is so much lower than that!!!). We pay for senior care. It's really senior neglect. He goes no where except up and down the halls. No attention to his diabetes. read more

We are spending over 5 grand here. My mom is in memory care. The food is over cooked/and heavy on carbs. My mom has indigestion daily. The caregivers are very nice for the most part, but activities program has waned drastically due to the fact they have been changing staff and retraining for the 4 months we have been there. I am considering taking mom out and having her live with me and hiring a private caregiver. read more

Medical staff cannot be counted on to insure patients receive all necessary medications. My wife spent 5 weeks in respite care recently and was far worse physically and mentally when she left. She had to be immediately admitted to the Emergency Room to treat Pneumonia that was contracted at Brookdale. I would really like to see the Brookdale record of how many residents have recently been transported to area Hospitals for similar emergencies. read more
