    The menu said "veal picatta."  It was fried flour in mushroom gravy.  Again, loaded with carbs and passed off as low-carb.

    If this is the best America has to offer seniors, then we are doomed. This is a dumping ground for old people. Smart money says the rennovations they are doing are to position the company to sell the location as a time share or vacation hotel. The $250,000 they spent pulling up a decent parking lot and putting down pavers was only for looks and the bill goes to the residents. Ms. Prendergast promised me a unit, and it was not ready when my things arrived. Don't worry, she said, it will be ready in two weeks. When I called her back in two weeks, she then said, oh, it will be another six weeks. I lived there for two months, before I fled. There are so many problems that it will be impossible to name them all. There was black mold in my unit from a water leak. They ignored it until I said I was getting a lawyer to pursue breach of contract. It was never dark - the porch light across the street cast shadows on my interior walls. In addition, there were five streetlights shining in my windows at night, so having the blinds open for air circulation was not an option. It was like a prison, in this respect. The Geneva Convention would not allow prisoners to be subjected to these conditions. It was never quiet, there were lawn mowers and blowers at least three days a week, so I was constantly trying to open and close heavy windows. The air was always full of particulates from the blowers and mowers, so it was terrible for allergies. My porch furniture was covered with dirt, dust, and clippings, every time they went by. The place is not accessible. For example, the doorway had a square threshold about 3/4" high. It was too high to get my walker to roll across it, so getting my walker in the door was a serious problem, if I was using it to move something weighing more than I could carry. While they couldn't afford to spend $50 to give me access to my unit, they were able to fund pulling up a perfectly good parking lot and laying pavers. The cost was over $250,000. I was expected to pay for that while they turned their back to my struggle to get in and out of my unit. They were also able to afford to pour a patio and new driveways, but not give me accessibility. The workers told me about people who were terribly treated, who had no family. One worker told me one lady was drugged to get her out of her unit. They moved her to intensive care and then rented out her unit for twice what she was paying. Then they let her out of intensive care and moved her into a smaller unit. She also said that one family bullied everyone else and occupied the best units and got special services at no extra charge, while the rest of us struggled to get a healthful meal. They promised me a low-carb diet and then fed me three servings of gloppy carbs at each meal. Two kinds of potatoes and every piece of protein covered in slop, they called sauce. When I complained, they changed the heading on the paper and fed me the same slop...at $9 a plate. I saw the podiatrist who had to do a little surgery on my foot. I have had trouble with infection in that part of my foot ever since, but since he cut my foot while it was propped up on a paper on top of a stack of cardboard boxes in a filthy storage room, I guess infection is to be expected. If you love your old people, show them and don't warehouse them here.

    Fredericka tried to claim the cottage was not being held for her.  Look at this e-mail.  What does it look like to you?

    In my dealings with them, I found the management to be very rude an uncaring to me and my son.

    Hello, Just wanted to add my experience with this fine…read morefacility and staff. 20 months ago we needed to find a new place for my step-dad. Searching and not finding an adequate place (20 till then) that I knew he/we would be comfortable with, thankfully The House of Grace was the next and immediately it blew out any other facility by far. The road access to the home, cleanliness, size of the rooms hallway, bathroom setup and the warmth of the staff jumps right at you. It was a yes for us the first few minutes. After my step-dad moved in, very quickly did we know it was 100% the right atmosphere for him with the staff being as professional and caring as they are that yes, he felt safe and trusted the staff. He had less than a year of life at the facility and what stuck me is that the staff really felt the loss of my step-dad. We will forever feel blessed that we were fortunate to find the House of Grace. We love them!!!!! Sincerely, Daniel Moreno - Biomedical Technician/HealthCare/California Representative

The caregiver's provides consistent and constant communication about my mother's wellbeing, including texts, photos, and videochats, no matter the time of day.

As our mother's health gradually declined, the caregivers never stopped treating her with patience, dignity, and respect. They cared for her not simply as a resident, but as a person whose comfort and well-being truly mattered. One of the things that impressed us most was the consistency of the staff. From the reception team to the caregivers, nurses, dining staff, housekeeping, maintenance, and management, everyone we encountered was friendly, caring, and committed to providing exceptional service. It is clear that Pasea has built a culture where residents come first. We are especially grateful to Executive Director Kim, whose leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication are evident throughout the community. When we learned she had returned as Executive Director, it brought our family tremendous peace of mind. Her commitment to excellence and resident-centered care is reflected in every aspect of Pasea. We also want to recognize Nef, who has been an incredible source of support throughout our mother's stay. He was always responsive, compassionate, and willing to help whenever questions or concerns arose. Families going through difficult times need people like Nef, and we are deeply grateful for his kindness. Pasea itself is beautiful, welcoming, and impeccably maintained, but what truly sets it apart is its people. Beautiful buildings can be found anywhere; compassionate caregivers cannot. The warmth and humanity of the entire team are what make this community so special. Our mother is now leaving Pasea only because she has the opportunity to be reunited with our father, who is in hospice care at another facility. While our hearts are heavy because of the circumstances, we leave with profound gratitude for everyone who cared for our parents over these past several years. Thank you to every caregiver, nurse, receptionist, dining team member, housekeeper, maintenance staff member, administrator, and volunteer who touched our parents' lives. Your kindness gave our family comfort during some of the most difficult years we have ever faced. If you are looking for an assisted living or memory care community where your loved one will be treated with dignity, compassion, and genuine respect, I wholeheartedly recommend Pasea. Our family will always be grateful for everything you have done. From: Dr. Aireen Gutierrez (UCSD-Dept of Geriatrics)

    Gosh, where to begin! My father William, has been living and thriving at ActivCare Rolling Hills…read morefor more than a year now. He was residing at another assisted living/memory care facility in San Diego which met his needs for 3 years. His Alzheimers continued to progress leading to falls and behavioral issues which were no longer manageble there. We had to find Dad a new home which could meet his needs. After visiting several other places, many online due to COVID restrictions, we heard about Rolling Hills in passing. We made an appointment to visit and tour with Sophia and the rest is history. My wife and I knew that day we wanted Dad to live there. I have said this many, many times over the past year..... This has been our miracle, such a blessing for Dad and our family! We were concerned that the extent of Dad's behaviors of dementia would rule him out for admission. Dad was evaluated thoroughly and within several days (It took a bit longer due to COVID testing at the time). we moved him into his new home. From DAY 1 my father has thrived at Rolling Hills. Despite the relentless challenges and progression of an Alzheimers diagnosis, he is truly 'living' with the best quality of life that we could hope for ALL due to the staff and care he continues to receives 24/7! From the moment he wakes up in the morning, they have him dressed and out of his room, into the big 'great room' where he can socialize, roam, participate in activities and eat until it's time to crawl into bed at the end of the day. The staff treats Dad with dignity, respect and love. They have become part of Dad's family; he trusts them. They have taken the time to understand his ways and they never give up trying to help him even at his most trying moments. The Rolling Hills administration team led by BB Smith is hands on! They aren't hidden away is back offices somewhere. We often find them in the great room assisting the residents and socializing with them. They take the time to 'know' each resident. The care team is THE BEST! They truly perform a ministry caring for persons with all types of dementia and other cognitive issues. They approach each resident individually. The needs can change hour to hour and they meet this challenge. We are so blown away over and over at how they work as a team to give Dad and everyone the best quality of life possible on a daily basis. The activities are endless and tailored to meet the needs of each resident. My wife and I have participated in several ourselves and have had a lot of fun! It truly takes a solid team to keep Rolling Hills running so smoothly and professionally. Maintenance, Housekeeping, Nursing, Admin, Dietary, Activities... The Rolling Hills team ACROSS THE BOARD, make it happen! I will conclude with this: Since Dad began living at Rolling Hills we can sleep solidly at night; enjoy time with friends, go out of town all the while having full confidence and trust in everyone that Dad is surrounded by at ActivCare of Rolling Hills. We are grateful beyond measure! Kim and Karen

The level of care and interactions I've seen have put my mind at ease that my grandfather is well taken care of and while at first he was resistant to living there now it seems like he prefers it in many ways. ActivCare is a wonderful place for him to spend his final days.

She didn't want to have to move into an institution and I didn't want her in one either. However I also didn't want her in a place so small there wasn't activities and stimulation. I'm so happy that with the help of a placement guide we found HarborView. It's a beautiful mansion with manicured gardens set on a hill overlooking the stunning San Diego Bay that has 30 residents, a full staff and daily activities. After moving in we quickly found out that the staff is what really makes this place special. They are loving, attentive, respectful, courteous, caring and fun. There are always lots of smiles, laughter and music to enjoy as well as good food and the highest quality of care. I cannot recommend this place more. HarborView Senior Assisted Living was truly an answer to our prayers. It was the perfect place for my beloved mother's final days. It is a beautiful loving caring home, not an institution. She has left us now, but she was both blessed and enriched by the love and care she received from their wonderful staff. I, and all of our family, was blessed by them as well. Thank you HarborView.
