I have to give the staff at La Cruz credit for taking such good care of her. It is a very new, clean, spacious and loving environment. Everyone treats her like an important part of the "family". They have gone above and beyond meeting her needs and wishes. Mom loves gardening so they built her a little planter box and she grows tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and onions. They even make her feel helpful and let her fold clothes and towels when she wants to. Everything is family oriented. They sit and have meals all together and the parties and special holidays are fabulous! We are always cheerfully invited to visit any time and there are no restrictions when we want to take her on an outing. I would highly recommend this senior care facility for anyone who wants to feel at ease that your loved one is being well taken care of.

After looking at several retirement communities in East County and in North County, I was extremely…read morehappy to find La Vida Real. It's well organized, clean, professionally staffed, and very reasonably priced. It was easy to make the decision to move my parents in because there is only a small move-in community fee ($1k) that is sometimes waived all together. Pricing is for studios, 1 Bed or 2 Bed units. And it's extremely flexible in that you only have to give 30 days notice to vacate without any further charges. The activities are well organized- a great balance between social events, physical activities, mental challenges. Top picks include smoothie socials, bingo, chair yoga, coffee and doughnuts. My dad is stubborn and picky and he has finally settled in and enjoys being here.

Every resident has personalized decor and care. Sometimes when Im there it feels like im treating someone in an individual home rather than a facility. I have yet to have a bad experience there.

We had both my in-laws in a very expensive high end retirement home with hundreds of guests and lots of activities, but the care was just not personal. Her Dad is a WWII Vet and he is very precious to us. Though he has dementia, he immediately recognized he was in a better place at La Valhalla. He was happy, content, treated with respect and given care beyond what we could ever have provided him at home. It was such a burden off our shoulders to know he was there. When we came to visit it was such a good feeling to hear the staff and few residents (3 total right now) laughing out loud and really enjoying each others company. So different and so much better than the big retirement home! We can't recommend this place enough.

We were very fortunate and blessed to find La Valhalla Residential Board and Care. The moment we walked in the door we knew we had found the right place for our dad. It is not a clinical, sterile facility, but a warm, inviting home. The DeVera family is amazing in their compassion and care of their residents. The residents are not treated as residents or patients, but family members. Having to place a loved one away from their personal residence can be an overwhelming, intimidating, daunting experience for a family. Working with the DeVera family at LaValhalla eliminated all of those feelings. We are so happy that we found a residential home where all the caregivers are compassionate, caring, knowledgeable, and truly concerned about the residents in their home. We are at peace knowing that our dad is happy, safe, and well cared for thanks to the efforts and expertise of the staff at LaValhalla. Thank you DeVera family for not only taking such good care of our dad, but letting our family feel like an important part of your family. You are all truly amazing and a blessing!
