They've done a great job so far with my Dad at Brookdale Oceanside! The staff here is very friendly, and they've really bent over backwards making him feel welcome and helping him settle in! The facility itself is well kept and clean, and they seem to have an excellent memory care program. Dad says he likes it here!

We are incredibly pleased with how things have turned out with Brookdale Oceanside. The staff here is just amazing, they are all wonderful people! The facility itself is well kept and clean, the food is good, and they take great care of the people who live here. We couldn't be happier with the place!

I'm a nurse and I've been to many memory care communities, I thought I had seen every version of memory care... Then I went to Vista Gardens. This is by far the best I've ever seen. The community is beautiful and offers every amenity you could ask for. However, it is the care for the residents that I was so impressed with. The staff at Vista Gardens cares for their residents as if they were their own family. The respect the staff gives to the residents was something I haven't seen in memory care. If my mother were to need memory care, I wouldn't look anywhere else. The compassion the staff has for not only their residents but also the families of the residents brought tears to my eyes.

The only negative comment my mother has made is that she had a roommate at first that liked it really hot, so temperature wise they did not match up and she had to move to another room as she was constantly burning up. Other than that everything has really been great. The staff there is very friendly and helpful.

When my mother was there at Glenwood Gardens we never had any problems. The only thing they might could improve on is the quality of the food. That was the one issue that she had, she was always complaining that the food was bad, and when we visited her for a meal there that was indeed the case, at least in the memory care unit. Other than the food everything there was really good.

The staff at Brookdale Oceanside is simply wonderful. They have really good communication with us, proactively seeking our feedback, always calling to let us know how things are going, etc. It has been really good all the way around.

We had a very short experience with Emeritus at Carlsbad as my mother in law unfortunately passed away shortly after we moved her in, but during that short time we were happy with them. The caregivers could not have been any nicer or more caring to her, and the marketing staff they have is top notch.

I would highly recommend Oak Hill Residential Care for the needs of your loved ones. My father has been a resident for over 2 years now and is doing better than ever. He has all types of issues and needs full time help with everyday living. They have good caring helpers and a great staff of nurses that help my dad daily. They take care of all his medications and they even have a Doctor that comes to the facility to take care of all the loved one's needs. Another plus is the place is very affordable for the care you receive

My mom is 95. She had been living at her home by herself with limited care giving. This past summer she had a medical situation that she was having a hard time coming back from. The family finally realized that it was time for her to go to an assisted living facility. I called "A Place for Mom". They pointed me in the right direction. After my family and I toured many different places for assisted living we chose Cloisters of the Valley. I knew right away that this is the level of care my mom needed. Caregivers 24/7, single story facility, friendly atmosphere. I sat down with Bonnie the Executive Director and with tears in my eyes said this is where my mom needs to be. Cloisters of the Valley has been great. But what I had a hard time with was the adjusting period that it took for my mom to get in with the swing of things. It is only normal for a person that has been in her home for almost 50 years to have an adjusting time when moving to a new place. The best part of moving her in was she able to have all of her own furniture. It has been a month now. She is joining in on a lot of the activities. She is having three good meals a day. And for us, Cloisters means peace of mind. If any issues come up with mom they are on the phone to us. When we go visiting many of them know our names. Cloisters of the Valley was the best place for our mom!

The staff is really good at working with mom, managing what exactly it is that she needs, and keeping us informed on costs and other pertinent information. Overall we are very happy with Emeritus at Oceanside, although there are a couple of areas where they could improve. For one, I think it would be good to see a wider variety of activities. For another, I think that the food could improve. Aside from those areas we are pleased with Emeritus at Oceanside.

The caregivers were extremely helpful when we had to move my sister. They arranged for movers to come in, and made sure that while she was in the emergency room at the hospital someone was with her at all times. My sister is in a much better place no, both physically and mentally.

The Director & staff at Cloisters helped my 94-year-old mom (and me!) through her difficult transition to her new home this past summer. Cloisters provides a flexible level of care and is ideal for someone like my mom who no longer can live independently and actively but who still appreciates the comforts of home, rather than a nursing facility. My mom has a lovely room furnished with her own belongings, and she appreciates walks in the garden. I visit often and never see anything worrisome. She is well and her surroundings also are in good shape. Most importantly, my mom receives warm, personal attention from caretakers who check on her frequently and give her all of the help that she needs, plus provide positive social interactions. The activities Cloisters offers and the nursing/medical support it provides are excellent, too. In addition, my mom enjoys the food and the company of others around her same age. I take her out sometimes, but she's always ready to return for dinner at her regular table. My family is grateful to Cloisters for keeping my mom, despite her weakening physical and mental abilities, as safe and content as she can be at this time in her life. The staff is very responsive to my requests and inquiries, too. Cloisters is just the right size to offer sufficient professional services without seeming institutional. It's a place that emphasizes genuine one-to-one care, conversations, and connections.

My experience with Emeritus at Oceanside had been good. I'm pleased with the services they provide. I'm satisfied with the friendliness of staff, facility, care provided, activities they offer, just everything. They also keep in contact with me really well.

They will get top ratings on absolutely everything.

Beautiful surroundings, caring staff, individualized attention. After visiting some board & care facilities, the Cloisters was like a dream come true! The staff is very accommodating and friendly.

She seems to be very happy there. They are doing a very good job. The head nurse gave us the tour and she just had so much knowledge, and was able to answer all my questions. We also liked the location. There isn't anything that needs to be improved. she seems to be happy with the food.

They have wonderful grounds. The people are friendly, but we were in the nursing home end of it, so it was a little different environment than what a normal assisted living community is like. The physical therapy services were fantastic.

Although limited to the Skilled Nursing Facility I can say the administration and personnel are some of the most compassionate, caring, and professional people I have ever met. We had anticipated moving into the assisted living building which is amazing in its appearance and cleanliness, along with the numerous activities and wonderful meals provided for its members. If someone is looking for a complete community, regardless of ability, this campus needs to be on your list.

Our first experience at Emeritus at Carlsbad was very comforting and supportive in a difficult situation. We needed to move our father to the Memory Center after multiple caregivers caring for Dad at his home 24/7. Many errors were made as Dad was starting to fail. We realized that he now had "graduated" to a need for increased care at the Memory Care Center at Emeritus at Carlsbad. Pamela and Doris made me feel very comfortable and supportive. The facility is very clean, Dad now has his own room with items from his own home to help him feel more comfortable. He is more easily accessible to family members here in Carlsbad. Great job, Emeritus at Carlsbad!

We are very happy with this decision! One area that could use some improvement would be the communication within the staff, as well as with third party contractors, such as physical therapists, etc. The communication is happening, but I wouldn't say that it is as effective as it could be. Also, another area of improvement could be their activities for men. The activites seem to be geared more towards the women, and the men could use more socialization within their own group. However, what we did like was that there were enough male residents. Also, the value is great! The management staff is good, and we met with one of the owners prior to making our decision. The ownership is very hands on and involved in all aspects of the facility. The parking can be challenging when it's busy, but there's enough for the size of the facility. I also think the food is good. I personally think there could be a bit more variety, but it seems to be well-prepared and well-balanced. In my opinion, they have little things to fix, but they are working on making themselves better, being that they are a newer facility. Based on my research, they are a real gem in North County. They may not be as well known as some of the others, but we are so happy with our choice!
