Nursing staff take pains to support patients with memory issues, always responding with tact & redirection. Line staff are especially patient. Mom Had been to other facilities before, but this one is the best that I've seen so far. Any CA location is difficult with traffic, but the open spaces, daily access to outdoors, short trips to the beach, and mini concerts are a special touch.

They have a nice space where you can have lunch outside of your room if you want to they have a nice little patio that the caretaker that I have going there too will take my mom out for a walk in a wheelchair I highly recommend this place if you are recovering from a surgery. Or if you have someone on Hospice that needs a place for respite care.

I'm extremely concerned and disappointed in this facility but more so their FACULTY…read more My 92 year old grandma moved in here ~3 months ago now. She is paying a lot for her studio apartment there and an additional $800 for her assisted care. They recently gave her an invoice that her $800 charge was increased to $1300. They don't even help her now!!!! They refuse to put her arthritis cream on her shoulders but a give her a full shower??? I'm so mad and sad for her. No one who works there seems to care at all. My grandma pressed her life alert at 9:20 one night, no one arrives until almost 11pm because the one person on staff just WENT HOME EARLY BECAUSE SHE WAS TIRED??? No other staff to help with residents and my grandma just had her necklace beeping for over an hour. When someone finally showed up for her to changed her bra and underwear if was some 19 year old man she didn't know. She'd told the staff she was only comfortable with a woman doing that. She's paying so much. This is cruel. I'm on the verge of seeking out a lawyer. This is bordering on elder abuse. Care has been absolutely horrible, especially for the charge and now this increase. I won't let it happen.

We discovered The Gardens By The Sea, toured and soon moved our father into a comfortable room. It was an adjustment for him, but he was well cared for, still welcomed many visiting friends and family, enjoyed the weekly entertainment groups, the delicious food as well as the Turner Classic Movie channel on their cable. Elsa and staff were friendly, detailed and professional. Owner, David Cooper, was often present to say "Hello" and ask if all was good. We definitely made a wise decision for the benefit of everyone in our family. Thanks to everyone at The Gardens by the Sea! J&J

HIGHLY recommend.

Cons: Food is like a bad cafeteria, they don't follow the nutritional guidelines assigned to the patient. Giving diabetics regular food, doctor ordered fluids for hydration instead they served coffee. Watched patients wait 1/2hr for restroom. Looks like a cheap hotel, rundown in most places. Odd considering this is Del Mar, my grandmother has been to 3 assisted living home in the last 3 months as we're trying them out. this was the least favorite.

As an employee at Vista del Lago for over six years, I would first like to express how grateful I…read moream for the support I have received from our RSD, Loucinda. She has consistently encouraged me to elevate my performance, challenged me to grow professionally, and inspired me to always deliver my best work. Her support extends beyond me to every staff member. Her door is always open, and she is always willing to provide guidance, encouragement, and assistance whenever needed. I have known Loucinda since she worked as a caregiver on the night shift. Through hard work, dedication, and perseverance, she advanced to Med Tech and eventually became our RSD. Throughout her journey, she remained committed to the community and continued giving her all, even during challenging times. Since her promotion, positive changes have steadily taken place throughout our community. I am truly thankful to have such a compassionate and dedicated leader supporting our team. I would also like to thank our Executive Director, Marie Hill. She consistently greets everyone with a friendly face and fosters a warm, welcoming environment. She has challenged every department to strive for excellence and has provided the support needed to help us succeed. Knowing that we have the backing of such an amazing leadership team motivates staff to provide the highest quality care for our residents. I can confidently say that families have noticed these positive changes and genuinely appreciate them.

Marie, Rosa, Loucinda, Jennifer, Amanda, Summer, Erick, William, Raven, Antonio, and so many others (I'm sorry to not remember everyone's names right now... and yes I mean you), I am truly grateful for how well you care for my aunts, Irene and Karol, as part of your family too. Beyond that, the large outdoor patio space is park-like toward the back, and perfect for our weekly get-togethers, EVERY time we are there, more than one of the staff will help us, or stop by to say hello. It is a credit to the team to all be so personable and professional in, again, a challenging environment. Thank you!

My mom told me that he was so kind, gentle, and full of compassion. He then called me to fill me in on a plan to get them help. Sterling went above and beyond to provide us help. It was clear to me that Sterling is in this business because he cares more about people than simply making a dollar. If you are looking for a company that cares about those you care about, I highly recommend San Diego Home Caregivers. You will be as thoroughly impressed as us when you meet Sterling at the free home evaluation. Hope this review is helpful to you in choosing the right caregiver company!
