9 Continuing Care Communities in San Diego, California

Linda

Atria Collwood is a facility where everything is provided for you, that includes the food, transportation, and help with medical appointments. They had one-room units, and a very nice, and very caring staff. I think they're a group of people that really like what they do, and they seemed to really like each other. The facility is not brand new, but still very well-maintained. They have an exercise room, a library, a community dining area, and common areas with a rose garden. It's a pretty extensive place. They do exercise every day and provide care for your daily needs in terms of meals. Right now, because of COVID, they bring the meals to the people rather than using the community space, but there were some people who were in the community area who were spaced six feet apart. They observed all of those rules. I think it's a positive environment for anyone that's in the position of having to have assisted living, even if I am not at that point yet.

I visited here. I liked it. The only thing about this one is the room was much smaller, but the staff there is very nice. I knew it was kind of a smaller facility, but they have independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and I really like the staff there. I saw a one-bedroom and a studio, and they were just smaller-sized overall. They had an exercise area, a little sunroom, but they didn't have as many outdoor areas as the other places just because of the location they're in, but the facility is very nice overall. The menu looked good, but I didn't try the food there. They're smaller so they had staggered times for people to eat so there could still be distance enough. They just have a library, their sunroom is very nice where people play cards and things like that. I noticed that the staff knew all the residents. They just talked to them and interacted with them and were just very kind.

We used Partners in Home Care. They helped me with bathing, getting to the bathroom, getting dressed, and making some meals for me. I had one caregiver at night who was really sweet. I really liked her, and she's a darling. I had another person during the day, who was fine and did what was asked of her.

Above and beyond all expectations! This staff cares so much and are so friendly. You can tell how they all like their jobs as well as support each other. Their #1 priority is the health and mental well being of all the residents. The personal care and attention my mom got as well what I got was far greater than expected. The staff provided excellent communication. All the fun activities were so great. My mom loved the food and the companionship. When my mom was at home she was alone, in bed all the time, and depressed. When she came here, new life was breathed into here. It was like she was becoming her old self again. She was happy, active, eating well, clean, and having fun. When my mom passed, the staff was just as sad as we were to lose her. They developed a personal loving relationship with her. I’m so comforted to know that she died here with dignity and love surrounding her. I highly recommend Pacifica Memory Care in Jarupa.

Remington Club was a prestigious place in Rancho Bernardo, which is a retirement community in San Diego. It had the normal services, very good food, and looked like a nice place. It was a good visit experience. They had lots of things to do. The Remington Club has been around for at least five years and has a more established reputation. It's pretty well known around the area.
