#2 in El Cajon, CA

Residents and their families say:

This community has received several positive remarks, particularly for its caring and knowledgeable staff, well-maintained grounds, and the sense of a homely environment it provides to its residents. Many reviewers noted that their loved ones seemed happy and well cared for, with one reviewer detailing a heartfelt experience regarding the compassionate care their father received, highlighting the staff's immediate communication and the personalized attention given to their family during a difficult time. The community's activities and healthy meal plans were also praised, contributing to the overall satisfaction of both residents and their families. The accommodations, including "cottages" for more specialized care, received mentions for being well-monitored and offering excellent care.

However, there were a few criticisms. A couple of reviews expressed disappointment, one regarding the smaller size of the community and a perceived lack of amenities and opportunities for engagement. Another shared a negative impression from a tour, describing the environment as dark, depressing, and likening it to an old prison. Additionally, concerns were raised about the facility's age and the quality of the surrounding neighborhood. Despite these concerns, the overwhelming majority emphasized the positive, particularly the community's atmosphere of kindness, the quality of care, and the professionalism of the staff.
