My mom was a resident at Stellar Care for the last two years, and my family and I visited so often…read morethat it truly felt like a second home to us as well. We spent every holiday here and always appreciated the kindness and welcoming atmosphere this place provided for families. We have so many positive memories and wonderful things to say about Stellar Care. The caretakers were wonderful to my mom, and I am incredibly thankful that she was cared for by so many sweet and gentle people. The nurses gave my mom nicknames like "Smiley" and "Diamond Eyes," and it was truly heartwarming to see how special they made her feel. Beyond being a care facility, we viewed each visit as a trip to "Grandma Jeri's House," where our two boys made every visit with Grandma as special as possible. One of our favorite spaces inside Stellar Care was the library--a living-room-style area with plenty of seating, a large dining table, and shelves filled with books, games, and arts and crafts. Equipped with a TV and a record player, it felt like a private hangout where we could spend quality time together. That room hosted many game nights filled with Dominos, Yahtzee, and Uno. We loved the space so much that we celebrated her 70th birthday there, reserving the room, decorating it, surprising her with her favorite foods and cake, and enjoying the day surrounded by loved ones. Another favorite space was the outdoor patio backyard, which offered large tables, a swing chair, and fans and heaters to accommodate changing weather. It was a wonderful shared space to relax, socialize with other residents, enjoy the sunshine, and simply spend time together. There was also a smaller patio that was perfect for quieter days--bringing a portable speaker and enjoying music in the breeze. I loved how every day at Stellar Care was filled with engaging activities, from birthday celebrations and trivia to bingo and live music performances. One especially cherished memory was St. Patrick's Day, when Stellar Care hosted an afternoon of games like hot potato and provided treats and activities for everyone to enjoy. We spent so many wonderful days at Stellar Care, and we are deeply grateful for the love and support shown to my mom. I will truly miss coming here--it was a peaceful, beautiful place filled with warmth and love.

Harborview Senior Assisted Living exceeded my expectations…read more After an increasing number of falls and associated hospitalizations, I was no longer able to care for my 91 year old mother at my home. 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.

I should have written this review many years ago. Since 2002 My Grandfather, Grandmother, Close…read moreFamily Friend, and now my Mother have all lived in this Small, but Wonderful, Assisted Living Home. Gigie has been helping families for the last 27 years. The care she and her staff give is far better than what I have seen at other, more expensive facilities. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Sadly my mother has dementia, and we are having to deal with her care far before we ever expected to. Because of some family issues, my mother started out in a large, over priced Memory Care Facility. The care she got was horrible, and I mean horrible!!! I finally was able to convince my siblings to move her to Casa del Cielo, where she should have been from the start. It took less than one week to know with 100% certainty that it was the right choice. If you are seeking a small, reasonably priced home, where you and your loved one feels like family, and not just a number, then I highly recommend you give them a call.

If you are looking for a location for yourself or for a family member, Noble is where you should start you search AND where it should end! The caring for the residents is second to none! (Again, not only at Noble III but at Noble II and Noble I). Generally, at Noble you can expect to get Senior & Memory Care that encompasses help for seniors who need memory care and assistance with daily living, medication mgmt, meal prep, specialty diets, personal & incontinence care, activities & exercise and much more. Give them a visit, your satisfaction is guaranteed! The staff, from the orderlies to the nurses, doctors, support staff, admin and of course the owners Mr. & Mrs. Bunnell who live their creed: if you're at Noble, you're family!

She takes such care with all 3 locations. This location is in the San Carlos area. It is absolutely beautiful. The care staff is amazing and the home is perfect for anyone needing assisted living, memory, or hospice care. When you call, Deb or Nora will sit with you and go over all your care needs. They are very honest and will do a full assessment. The care staff is amazing, food is great and you will have peace of mind with who is taking care of you or your loved one. When choosing a boarding care home, Noble Living should be on your list.

My Dad has been at MesaView for a little over a week. I can't say enough good things about this…read morewonderful place. They have the best of a board and care and the best of a facility and none of the bad of those places. I've spent at least 5 hours a day there every day and the staff have shown over and over that they really care. They have made efforts above and beyond my expectations to make my Dad feel at home, cared for, and even loved. They have also made me and my family feel at home when we are there. Dad's dementia got so much worse that we could no longer care for him. They worked with us to get him in and comfortable so quickly after a fall at home that made his needs dramatically worse. They moved him closer than we had arranged so they could keep a closer eye on him and be quicker to help him. I love that there are plenty of people there that just need assisted living too. The variety is so good for him. The pet tortoise there provides Dad with entertainment that suits him. They have activities programmed that are wonderful too. The grounds are beautiful. Gigi and Iliana run this place so well. Wonderful staff, wonderful facilities, wonderful price, wonderfully administrated, and the meals look amazing. They did stock my Dads favorites when he did not want to eat and now he is eating again. I met the owner, Jeff, and he seems to be genuinely kind too. Every day I feel more and more confident that he is in the best place I could ever hope for. Thank you to Gigi, Iliana, Sonia, Chris, Carlos, Daniel, Carina, Alia, Maria and the rest of the staff for your patience and care! I hope to learn the names of more of you. It's just this place is well staffed and I'm still learning names.

My beautiful mother has been a resident at MesaView Senior Assisted Living for almost two years…read more My mother has dementia. Having to place my mom into a facility was a difficult and painful decision. But my mother needed care to keep her safe, more care than I was capable of safely providing her. So in dealing with the guilt of this decision to place her in a facility, I feel beyond blessed to have found MesaView Senior Assisted Living. To begin, Genoveva was warm, understanding, reassuring and welcoming. It was a rough time to move her, as it was also during COVID. But, Genoveva made the move seamless, in doing everything to make my mother feel safe and comfortable, as well as us. The facility is beautiful! An inviting and renovated room to call her own (we decorated with her personal belongings). A fantastic large open yard for her to be outside and enjoy, which was important for her and to us. There is even a large turtle that roams freely, as well as birds that sing, to put a smile on all the residents faces. The facility is smaller, cozy and more charming than a larger facility. I never feel like my mother will be confused or lost among too many people; I have observed how she smiles as she recognizes the people there (even with her dementia). The staff is absolutely incredible! The staff are always helpful, professional, kind, warm and friendly to the resident's and their needs, as well as the families. You can always hear them cheerfully greeting the residents by name even when just walking by. They are fantastic in their communication with me about medications and any concerns I or they may have about my mother. They are available 24/7 for any of your questions or concerns. Let me add, they did a fantastic job for the resident's safety during COVID times. The food...they strive and take pride in providing very healthy meal plans for the residents, with respect for meeting individual's needs as well. I am so VERY grateful for the amazing staff, they are truly the best!!! Now that Covid is relaxing guidelines, more activities are opening up for the residents and their families at MesaView. They have a calendar of daily activities available for the resident's enjoyment. They also plan special holiday family days, which are always lovely to participate in. I could go on forever about the many good things MesaView Senior Assisted Living has to offer. I feel blessed and happy my mother is safely in their care. I more than highly recommend MesaView Senior Assisted Living to anyone that wants their loved one in a place that feels like home.

My mother lived at The Montera in Assisted Living from May 2024 until she was forced to leave in…read moreMay 2026. I want to acknowledge that many of the caregivers and staff were kind, compassionate, and truly cared about her. My concerns are with the administration and management and the newly hired director, Karinna. My mother has dementia, but she is high functioning. Not only was this my opinion, but numerous staff members commented on how independent she was compared to other residents. She has poor short-term memory and occasional confusion, but she was significantly more independent than every Memory Care resident and even most residents in Assisted Living. The Montera announced that care level pricing would be increasing but never informed me that my mother's care level had been changed from Level 1 to Level 2. I only discovered this after seeing a document I had to sign with an unexpected increase of approximately $600 per month. There was never a meaningful discussion with Karinna explaining why her care level had changed or what additional services she would be receiving. In reality, nothing about her care changed--only the cost--along with having to deal with this dismissive and patronizing new director. The justification given by Karinna was that staff administered her medications twice a day. However, this had been her medication schedule for the entire previous year and was already part of the care they had been providing. In an effort to reduce costs, I worked closely with her physician to consolidate her medications into one daily administration. Unfortunately, that change was not medically appropriate and did not work well for my mother. As soon as I began the process of returning her to the medication schedule that best supported her health, management showed no patience or willingness to allow time for the transition. Instead, I was told by Karinna that she would have to move to Memory Care or leave the community. Memory Care would have increased her monthly cost by another approximately $2,200. More importantly, I strongly believed--and still believe--that moving her to Memory Care would have been detrimental to her well-being. She was thriving in Assisted Living, remained socially engaged, and functioned at a much higher level than residents in Memory Care. Unfortunately, management seemed far more focused on administrative policies and money than on what was actually in my mother's best interest. Families deserve transparent communication, thoughtful collaboration, and individualized care decisions. Instead, I experienced poor communication, unexpected cost increases, and an ultimatum that left our family with no reasonable option other than to move her. If you are considering The Montera for a loved one, I encourage you to ask detailed questions about how care levels are determined, what specifically triggers changes, how those decisions are communicated, and whether those decisions truly reflect a resident's needs. The Montera I experienced in 2024 was not the same Montera my family experienced in 2026. Since the change in executive leadership (Karinna), the culture appears to have shifted away from individualized care and toward administrative policies and financial decisions. That change ultimately cost my mother her home. I would like to end on a positive note because there are truly exceptional people who work here. Jackie and Brianna at the front desk were always incredibly patient, welcoming, and kind to my mother. Melody always brought the fun, laughter, positivity, perseverance, and genuine compassion into my mom's life, and I will always be grateful for the difference she made. I also want to recognize Aileen, whose knowledge, guidance, and willingness to help us through difficult decisions meant so much to our family. These remarkable women are the reason my mother had any positive experiences and WHY they get a second star at The Montera. I sincerely hope the administration recognizes and values employees like them, because they are the heart of this community.
