Northstar Senior Living

I visited OHSL when my mom was considering staying there and was immediately impressed. The facility itself is very clean, well-maintained, and just as nice or nicer than the photos on the website. The staff and management are incredibly patient, kind and helpful. The food was surprisingly good, both for quality and variety. The full menu, daily specials and sit-down service give it a real restaurant feel. But the part that made me most comfortable was the residents. The culture here is one of true "community," where people always smile and wave, are respectful of each other, and seem very happy to live there. My mom made friends almost immediately and was welcomed into the community (and happy hour, etc.). That made a very significant transition in my mom's life, one that her family was concerned about, so much easier. I stayed for 4 days to confirm my impressions (they were), and I am happy to say my mom chose this as her new home! I would recommend OHSL to anyone.

Beautiful, clean and friendly staff who care about to the residents like they are family. Shared room but a good enough size. The amenities mostly are for the assisted living side. The bathroom is very large and a great size.

I started volunteering here in my spare time, when it came time for my grandparents it was a no brainer. The community is clean, smells great, and best of they care. Everyone knows Grand name, Hoe she is doing, and even our entire family. We just lost Gran, [name removed] was so committed to making sure we all had what we needed, answering the hard questions, helping find a outstanding hospice, [name removed] the nurse is so knowledgeable and helpful, he is easy to talk to. Oh! Don’t let me forget about the outstanding food. I cannot say enough about this place. Special thanks to the Maintenance Director. He literally helped pack up everything when we just couldn’t do it. Thank you Summerfield. We love you.

The whole Staff at Paintbrush Assisted Living and Memory Care in Fresno, Ca has given excellent care to my mom, [name removed]. They treat her well and we are so appreciative of the care they show to her.

I would highly recommend she seems to be thriving there and she is enjoying it. We picked this community because of the amenities and the staff.

We looked at several places in San Diego area before choosing Summerfield as a new home for our mom. She has been here since August of 2023 and our family has been very pleased with her care. The facility is relatively small (approx 50 residents in 4 wings), secure, and I am not worried at all about Mom wandering out. The staff is very loving, caring, and attentive to mom's needs. I've also had the pleasure to dine with her and the food is always good! The facilities are clean and well maintained, and there is a lovely activities room and backyard/patio area. The decor changes with the seasons and has a very festive happy feel for both the residents and visitors. I can't say enough about how kind and caring the staff and management have been. As her condition has progressed we brought in hospice and they work together with Summerfield to ensure mom is well cared for. Mom has many visitors, and all comment on the pleasant atmosphere and attentiveness. The staff really cares.

Recently, my mom moved into Cypress Court – it is truly a top-notch property, and I give it A+’s all the way across the board! It is clean, organized, and has a resort-like feel all throughout the facility. The environment is beautiful, and Cypress offers the residents a variety of fun activities and special events…and the food is delicious! The staff are the most kind, genuine and compassionate people I have ever met, as well as being extremely professional, knowledgeable and incredibly service oriented. Employees go above and beyond to welcome everyone and see that residents and their family members are well taken care of. Cypress Court is such a wonderful place – the whole staff cares and have amazing hearts – and I appreciate everything that Cypress offers to make my mom feel welcome and comfortable. It is truly one of the best Independent and Assisted Living properties around the San Diego area!

Skilled, caring, professional, and compassionate is how I have found the staff at The Gardens. The facility is immaculate and up to date. Their approach of small neighborhoods within the facility really helps the clients feel at home. The staff and setting makes it easy to for clients to get acquainted with one another. My husband has several of the multiple issues typical of Parkinson’s and was being discharged from a skilled nursing facility. They have been very accommodating and have made the transition easy for him.

My experience with the community Has been great.. why I picked it?I was looking for a is there a small community And this fit the needs. They are very helpful.

Staff were friendly and welcoming.. The facility is very clean, cheery, and helpful. I can envision my mother making friends socializing and doing activities. I would highly recommend referencing this community to family and friends.

Phenomenal place staff is warm and welcoming. The layout of the property is beautiful with lots of outdoor spaces. Very clean. We had the privilege of trying out there food. It presented well and was delicious. Definitely recommend!

Professional, friendly staff. Felt very comfortable while touring the community. Clean, pleasant atmosphere. Their attention to details of my father in law’s needs & likes was beyond any other places we’d looked at. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!!

Beautiful community & wonderful staff! Thru the difficult times when families must make decisions, we were treated with kindness, professionalism, and honesty. It made us feel comfortable in seeing and knowing that everything dad would be needing would be addressed in the best, caring manner. Also, the "little things" they do to be sure he feels at home make such a difference! Rooms are very clean, accommodating, comfortable. The choice to have him at The Gardens was a wise one! Nothing else we'd looked into compared to the peace of mind that they presented. Thank you for the opportunity to present our experience! Recommend highly!!

Love my apartment! Most residents are wonderful people, have made lots of nice friends. Food is great. I love that I'm surrounded with people that are fun and you can have conversations with them. I love that I no longer have to cook or clean. I still drive and am able to park my car in gated underground parking. Great place!

My husband checked the place out first, he called me and said I found our home. The people here are wonderful and it's doesn't feel institutional. He talked to several caregivers and residents, and found that they all had long history of living and working here and we felt that was important. Due to his rave reviews on Cypress Court, I told him not to worry about getting me over to Cypress Court, just sign us up. I trusted his opinion of this place. I have been here a year and a half, I am so glad I'm here and I wouldn't be doing well anywhere else. I've found a new family here with the staff and residents, and I wish I would have found Cypress Court sooner.

I enjoy having meals with my family member at Heritage Woods. The food is amazing! The staff is very friendly. The residents are smiling and seem very happy when I visit. I would recommend this community to anyone looking for a new place to call home.

I was very hesitant to move my loved one to a community. Summerfield of Encinitas gave us options of how to move forward. We started with their amazing Day Stay program. Did that for a few weeks to get my dad used to the people and staff. We considered respite to see how he liked staying over night but after much thought we as a family decided to just move forward with moving him in permanently. The staff are incredibly kind, compassionate, patient and loving. Alzheimer’s is such an ugly disease and it’s been so difficult for us as a family to see this change and want only the best for our dad. Summerfield of Encinitas provides excellent care, delicious and healthy food, fun activities everyday of the week, and they even do outings once a month! We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. Thank you to the Executive Director, the Sales Director, Business Office, Nurse and staff at Summerfield of Encinitas for your excellence!!

My loved one was a resident at The Gardens of Modesto for a Respite stay. The cost is, of course, expensive but The Gardens of Modesto was more reasonable and the accommodations much nicer than the other places that we toured.

Amazing staff and beautiful facility! Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The tour was great and very informative. Would definitely recommend this facility to friends and loved ones for senior care.

The chef is always coming up with new ideas for my husbands diet. The staff is always available to help, a very friendly place. The activities staff comes up with engaging activities to help my husband stay busy.
