All…read morethe activities provided from the vast number of outdoor concerts in the patio and piano concerts in the recreation room to water coloring and flower arranging under the lanai, the RanchView staff is engaging and attentive. As my mom has transitioned to hospice care the staff has been amazingly, dedicated and observant of her needs. Throughout our lifetime, our family has owned five senior citizen, retirement centers, and I know how much it takes to run a center such as RanchView. I highly recommend RanchView and all the staff to anyone considering placement for their parent. My decision to move to RanchView was slow and deliberate. My mom had been in home support care living at home for 10 years. I only chose RanchView after a long and dedicated search. My decision was wonderful and I can't recommend RanchView enough. RanchView staff is like family and the facility is our home. When I bring family members with me to visit mom, staff remembers them and also offers to help them to make their visit with mom more comfortable, such as sharing snacks or meals, or providing any type of comfort or conversation that makes their visit to my mom more enjoyable. RanchView stands out as going above and beyond every day.

When a loved one is in a home, holidays in general are difficult, Thanksgiving in particular, may be the most difficult for our family. Kathleen established terrific traditions, hosting 10-20 friends or family and baking 8-10 pies making our 6 grandchildren feel special. This year Ranch View celebrated Thanksgiving one week early and we invited our best friends who attended and made the day even more special. For the second year in a row our family wanted to bring Thanksgiving to Kathleen at Ranch View on Thanksgiving day. Maria and staff set up a table and 10 chairs in a private room for our family Thanksgiving and it was a huge success. Nothing will ever replace our home holidays but in my opinion Ranch View has made the extra effort so Kathleen and our family feel like we have a home away from home. Thank you Maria and staff

I have been a clinical social worker visiting hospice clients in their homes, facilities and…read morenursing homes for 18 years and the Board and Care I was most impressed with was San Marcos Cottage. The care Bilja provides is exceptional. She is so compassionate, kind and conscientious and her knowledge of the sensitivities of the aging process guides her care. She is mindful of the individual needs of each of her residents and custom makes her care to fit their preferences and desires. I highly recommend San Marcos Cottage to anyone looking for an elevated level of care for their aging parent or grandparent.

I live in Los Angeles and SR is in Vista Ca. I count on the staff at SR to look after my mom and keep me informed the loop on any issues as they arise. Sami, the Activity Director, is amazing.

After researching and visiting several options, my sister and I toured Escondido Senior Living--and within five minutes, we knew this was the place for her. The center is exceptionally clean, and every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It immediately felt like home, not just for us, but most importantly, for our mom. After only a few days, we've already seen a remarkable change in her. Her spirit has lifted, and it's truly heartwarming to see her smile again. It feels like life has returned to her--and for that, we are incredibly grateful. Thank you to everyone at Escondido Senior Living who helped make the transition smooth and quick.

First of all, this is being written 4 months after my MIL's death. I have had time to process…read more This review is based on facts, not my opinion. Secondly, my MIL lived at Sunrise La Costa for 8 1/2 years. It started going down hill about 2019. As bad as we saw it, Sunrise was her home and elderly people don't like change. We couldn't convince her to move. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend Sunrise to my worst enemy. My mother-in-law lived there 8 1/2 years. What we saw occurred over years, not a short period of time. In 8 1/2 years, her room was never painted, recarpeted and nothing was done to maintain the bathroom. They recently remodeled the common area, but if you go into a room, the carpet is worn, stained and probably smells. Weekly cleaning consisted of vacuuming the middle of the room and a quick wipe down of the bathroom counter. Her care levels would be increased (along with her monthly fees), and we were not notified until after it occurred and I got a higher bill. When I called to inquire about why the bill was higher, they said 'we talked to your mother-in-law. She agreed to the new care'. As the responsible bill paying person I should've been made aware of levels of care and costs. At one point, they overcharged me $8000 for a one month bill. I called to disputed it, I was told it would be taken care of. Then my bill next arrived. The overcharge hadn't been taken care of and a day later, I got a letter in the mail saying I was being sent to collections. Sent to collections over their billing mistake! Two days, 5 phone calls to Sunrise, none of which were returned and finally a phone call to corporate the mistake was cleared up. There was only bus service for drs appointments on Wednesdays. My MIL's cardiologist wasn't in the office on Wednesday, so she had to change doctors. The staff, especially after Covid was a revolving door. I never knew who to talk to. I would call talk to one billing person or Care staff, a week later I would call us to talk to the same staff, and I was told they were gone. This happened time and time again. As far as care? When we were paying $10,000/ month, we'd expect decent care. My mother-in-law fell at one point. I was called. I was told of her fall and I was told they were taking care of it. My daughter happened to visit my mother-in-law five days later. My daughter called and asked if I knew my mother-in-law hadn't left her room in five days because she was in so much pain. The staff never called to tell me this. I drove down from Los Angeles, took my mother to the doctor and found out she had a fractured pelvis and cracked shoulder blade . On her last illness, she called me at 9:30 in the morning. She said she didn't feel good, she'd been throwing up for two days, she had been refusing her medication for two days. She had told four staff members that she didn't feel good, no one did anything. It wasn't until I called and talked to the head nurse that they looked at her. I asked the head nurse why they didn't do anything for her. His response was that she never complains. I asked if she never complains, why wasn't she heard or listen to when she did complain. He had no answer. When we learned of my MIL's final illness and she was moved to hospice. No one called from Sunrise to check in on her or us. When I called to tell the director she wouldn't be coming back, there were no words of sympathy or care. All I heard was the room had to be emptied in 30 days. I know the director had only been there a few months, but my MIL was a long term resident. I got more words of sympathy and concern when I called to cancel her Mastercard! Other Sunrises may be different. My experience with Sunrise La Costa is that they are a money making operation, not the family atmosphere they advertise.

Throughout this time, our experience has consistently been positive. From the moment I began working with their team, the staff at Glenbrook has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to providing high-quality care. The nurses and caregivers are attentive, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure each resident's comfort and dignity. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers a warm, welcoming environment. Communication is another standout strength which provides great peace of mind for both families and care partners. In my role, I've also had the opportunity to collaborate closely with their team during residents' transitions back home with caregiving support. Their coordination during these transitions is outstanding, ensuring that residents and their families feel fully prepared and supported every step of the way. All of the families we've assisted following discharge from Glenbrook Health Center consistently share positive feedback about their experience, which further reflects the quality of care provided. What truly sets Glenbrook apart is their personalized approach to care. It's clear that the team takes the time to understand each resident's unique needs and works diligently to create a respectful and supportive environment. I would confidently recommend Glenbrook Health Center to anyone seeking skilled nursing care for a loved one.
