I was not impressed at all with Hospice of North County and do not recommend at all. My father was…read moreon hospice for 4 months and not once did the doctor visit him. Meanwhile we used this hospice 4 months before for my brother inlaw and the doctor visited him because my husband is a doctor.Nursing care was only twice a week and some of the nurses were rude. We wanted my father to use the hospice house in the last days. But they said it was unavailable. Very strange. I'm so suspicious of these hospices. Meanw hile I'm always getting letters from this hospice to donate $$. I would never use this hospice again.

I cannot say enough positive things about this organization. I had personal experience with three…read moreother hospices, and there is nothing like Hospice of the North Coast. Let's start with Amanda who bolted into action to help me get my brother out of the hospital and into Pacifica House, the Hospice home they own. This woman moved mountains. I was a mess after dealing with Vitas Hospice and the hospital. She was just amazing all the way! ALL of the staff and doctors are just fantastic! This is what hospice once was before corporate greed took over. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

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

Comfort and Peace Hospice was recommended to me by an ICU nurse at Scripps Encinitas when my mom…read morewas being discharged from 7 days of intensive care she barely survived. My mom had previously been on hospice care with a different company and Comfort and Peace is head and shoulders superior to my previous experience. First of all, the speed of their responses and preparation for her discharge (over the holidays no less) was epic. I am so grateful for not only their responsiveness to us, but also the care and time they took to really get it right! They even helped me with facility placement recommendations Each function has been consistently responsive and communicative, as well. Nurse, social worker, etc. The team has directly contributed to my ability as a caregiver to function and deal with a difficult situation. No hesitation whatsoever giving my highest recommendation here

Well after waiting five whole days for Sharp while my dad suffered in the hospital instead of being at home where he was comfortable, I gave up on Sharp and called Elizabeth. They replied immediately, started service immediately and were a HUGE help throughout the whole process. I would recommend them 10/10 to anyone who needs in home hospice care. Even after all the help, advice and support they continue to call and check in long after my father's passing and provide emotional support if needed. They're amazing and I want to thank everyone that works with them for the wonderful job they did at such a hard time in my life.

If I could rate below zero I would. They are a company that is in a very small budget and have…read morevery cold philosophies.

Darlene Weber from Golden Care was a lifesaver for me when my mom was hospitalized abruptly then…read morewanted to come home to recover. Mom wasn't mobile at the time, and Darlene and the Golden Care team went overboard to find enough helpers to allow her to be at home. Darlene was also an incredible resource for information about at-home care - from the supplies we needed to which items of "durable medical equipment" we should request from the hospital based on insurance coverage. She even went out of her way to be there when PT and OT providers came so that her caregivers could help mom do the exercises in between visits. She was also incredibly responsive and accommodating even when our plans shifted multiple times. I can't recommend Darlene and the GC team strongly enough.

I actually found this place 3 months ago for my mother. Mom had recently had a stroke and was…read moregoing through a really rough time and the staff there was beyond wonderful and welcoming during this transition. I could fill 1000 pages with specific praise for this place but let me just cover the best of the best. I will start with "Management"... I will start with the top: The Executive Director, Karen Enciso has that rare blend of business savvy, compassion and emotional intelligence. She runs a very tight ship but does so with grace and poise and it's apparent she cares for all of her residents, families, and staff. Karen is always available and responsive when needed. My mother thinks the world of her and for good reason. The nursing management and staff are kind and competent and always ready to help. These professionals have saved my mother's life on several occasions and I am humbled by how hard they work to keep their elderly residents feeling safe and cared for. The great part about this place is that they also offer a great Memory Care Program. If my mother ever needs that specific service, I am confident that she will be well taken care of. The community is always clean and fresh when I visit my mother and we just enjoy those fresh cookies the receptionist bakes daily. I shopped around and Emeritus at Oceanside offers the best bang for our buck. You can find slightly less expensive places but they are not up to standard in my opinion. You can pay much more and not do any better. I thank God for guiding me to this place, I can now sleep better knowing that my mother is in good hands. I give this place all the stars in the sky. Alot of love and respect, A Satisfied Daughter

The activities director truly cares that the residents are treated with dignity and are enjoying themselves. The director is constantly making improvements, taking the suggestions of families and residents to heart. They have actually gotten to know her personally and I feel confident that they want the best for her. I have worked in Alzheimer's facilities and know the difference between a mediocre facility and a good one... This is honestly the best, most caring one I've been in.
