Independent Living in Del Mar, California

"Belmont Village is a beautiful community. Whenever i come to visit my mother It always feels more like a resort than a facility. It is very clean and well maintained. There are so many activities some even run by the residents. They also have a lot of outdoor excursions that my mother enjoys since the community is surrounded by such natural beauty. I recommend this community for anyone looking to be socially active and love outdoors." - Charlotte… 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

"Atria of La Jolla is for independent living only. On site care for assisted living and memory care is not available, although residents can make arrangements for visitations by such professionals. The facility is fairly old and shows it. The salesperson was professional and courteous, but the place just didn’t fit our projected needs." - Alan… Read more

"I live near Casa De Manana and after many years I have started my search for a place for my mom. I have been very fortunate to tour several places around the greater La Jolla area, but the experience I had at Casa De Manana the other day was special. The location is only matched by the team members I met while there. I wanted to thank you all for the time you took with me and my mom as you made our decision so simple. All of you are greatly appreciated. We look forward to moving mom in soon." - John… 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

"I moved a family member into there Memiry Care and moved them out a few months later. The quality of care was not what I was promised and there were multiple mistakes with one loved ones medications which could have resulted in their death. The care giver / resident ratio is very low, no doctors or nurses on site and staff/ med techs seem inexperienced and ill trained. For all of these reasons I can not recommend this community. There are much better communities in San Diego that may be a bit more money. Choose those as your loved ones life is not worth saving a few dollars with this poorly runned community." - J… Read more
