"I have been fortunate enough to experience the Meridian at Lake San Marcos first hand, and I can confidently say it is one of the best senior living communities in San Diego. From their beautiful facilities, amenities and activities, to the caring staff who are always available to help, I have no reservations in recommending this community to anyone looking for a home away from home. The independent living and memory care services they provide are some of the best around. Not to mention the full-time pastry chef providing fresh desserts throughout the week! If you're looking for top-notch senior living with unbeatable floor plans and lifestyle choices, then you should absolutely look into giving Meridian at Lake San Marcos a visit."… Read more

"The staff at Westmont Carmel Valley are very attentive, however, the food is a very poor quality. The meat dishes are very tough, and although they provide fresh produce with each meal, it is so undercooked as to be not cooked at all. For example, carrots and beans and broccoli are practically raw when served with your cooked meal. You need a steak knife to cut the carrots so you can eat them. Additionally, no matter what you order for your meal what they bring you is never what you ordered. Then if you send it back to the kitchen to get your actual order, it will be another 30 minutes at least before your correct order comes out again." - K… Read more

"I had a parent at Villa Lorena. My experience with the staff, direct caregivers, med techs, concierge and restaurant was that they were wonderful people. However, the staff nurse who supervised the care staff was not. She oftentimes failed to meet basic needs; for what we paid, I expected my parent to receive services agreed upon in the contract. Regardless of the number of times I reached out to the nurse and her supervisor, the Executive Director, with my concerns, they failed to meet my parents bathing needs, laundry needs, room cleaning needs; the man who cleaned my parent’s room was very unkind and messy. I did not find out how bad it was until my parent had Hospice care. By then it was too late to move my parent. Hospice had a wonderful, knowledgeable nurse who met my parent's needs. Even still, the nurse at VL was dishonest to the point that I had to have outside caregivers come in to take care of my parent 24/7 while still being charged a substantial amount by VL for care." - Diane… Read more
