The place is clean and there seems to be a lot of activities available. I've eaten at their dining hall a few times, and it's pretty good. Smaller portions. You can always order more food. Note that you (family members) get free food the first week of your relatives' stay. Then you have to buy a food ticked at the front desk. It's not located in a sketchy part of Escondido, but it's also next to a busy street. Staff members seem to know everyone's name by heart.

Eagles Nest Retirement Ranch is a wonderful facility for the elderly. The care and cleanliness are…read moresuperb. Owner, Maria Richly personally supervises her residents care as she is on premise every day. My mother was a resident at Eagles Nest Retirement Ranch for almost 2 years. During that time she was fed home made food and was really shown a lot of love by the staff. Last year Mom turned 105 years old. Yes, 105 is not a misprint. Maria put together a party for my mom which I will never forget. If you are looking for a truly superior environment for your loved one to spend their remaining years, this is as good as it gets.

My mother was a resident at Eagle's Nest for five and a half years, until she passed. She needed to…read morebe hoisted from one spot to another or to her wheelchair, and they were always patient with her needs. The care there was always excellent and she was always content. The amazing views, even from her small, but very comfortable private room, were spectacular, and with gracious covered patios on three sides of the home, she spent a great deal of time out in the fresh air, watching all the birds that flocked to the many bird feeders, enjoying the vast vistas (you can see for 20 miles in every direction), and doing activities on the large outdoor table. Maria and her staff always celebrated birthdays and holidays with lots of fanfare, and my mom received personal attention, like getting her nails painted or makeup done. Visiting her there was always comfortable and inviting. We were very lucky to find such a loving and beautiful place for my mother, once we could no longer care for her ourselves.

Needless to say, she did not really want to move from her home that she's been in for a very long time. I've contacted and visited 6 places and Atria meets all of her needs. Her memory is not as good as it used to be and she needs extra help. This location has services that allow her to remain if her memory continues to diminish. Atria's staff has been wonderful, patient and caring. I've been trying to convince my mom to move for the past 4 years and she literally told me today that she is so happy she made the move. These are words that I thought I'd never hear from her. Thank you to everyone at Atria for making my mom feel at home and removing all her anxiety over making the move.

And then moving your loved one, in our case, our Mom did not want to go and was very difficult. However, Atria could not have been more helpful. The entire staff aided in the transition, Glen, Darla, Sophia and Kimi. And now, Mom is happy and we feel comforted knowing she has care 24/7 if needed. I recently spent 3 days at Atria sitting with my Mom for 4-5 hours each day and was able to see how the staff interacts with all residents. They have so much patience and always a kind word but also are obviously well schooled in the services they provided. If Atria has availability, I'd recommend not looking anywhere else to place a member of your family.

Fortunately, my mom has a very vocal daughter, so the extra set of eyes and voice helped. But I would refer Redwood over all other local places she's stayed to occasionally rehab. Notably, Julie was invaluable in helping us illuminate an injury missed by the hospital and address it. Beyond that, she was simply an awesome human. Special nods to some of the nurses and CNA's who went the extra mile to make my mom feel cared for and respected: Tan, Teresa, Luz, & Sylvia. (More names to mention in coming updates)

Emeritus at Escondido is a wonderful home for our mother!…read more My sister and I searched for an affordable assisted living environment that would take our mother and her cat. It was important that she have nutritious meals that taste good, a nurse who would be in charge of her medication and a loving environment that would invite my mom out of her room to participate in activities. We found this at Emeritus Escondido! Paul, the manager runs a happy staff who seem to know everyone by name. They plan free bus tours to the flower fields, the local shopping mall or just about anywhere you want to go. Weekly events are planned in the game room like Bingo, cards or Wi bowling (my kids favorite). The Emeritus bus driver takes my mom to her doctors appointments for free within 10 miles, the nurse lets us know when our mom is running low on medication and the staff cleans her room every week --including her laundry. She has it made! The down sides to Emeritus is that the waiters/waitresses offer all the food you want with 2nd or 3rd helpings so my mom has a bit of a muffin top, the activities are fun my children would rather go play at Emeritus than see their own friends and worse, my mom has made so many friends it's almost annoying to walk with her down the hall because she has to stop and talk to each person as they walk by. Our mother is so very happy at Emeritus Escondido that my sister and I could not be more grateful. Please trust me when I tell you that this is a wonderful home away from home. You would be lucky if there is any availability.
