Sun and Sea in Imperial Beach, CA

The people here are really friendly, and the place is very pretty. They have a lovely garden outside. We came and had a little tour, spoke to the people, and they were very helpful and informative. My dad is a hospice patient and they do an excellent job with him and made the transition a very smooth one.

My mother has been at Olivenhain for over 7 months. We have been with her their daily to visit and help her adjust. The staff is far beyond caring and the homelike atmosphere is so much better than the larger institutions that I have visited. The love shown by the staff for the residents is so wonderful. Even many of the caregivers who do not work there but come and provide additional companionship for individual residences have said that the personal care is so much better than many of the larger institutions.

ActivCare at Mission Bay in San Diego, CA
5.0

I first visited this facility shortly before it opened over 10 years ago. Revisiting it for a family member, I found it to be a very pleasant & safe environment, & very convenient to many outings. The staff is well trained and very caring & know all of the residents by name. The ocean/sailing theme on the walls is quite appropriate for the area and very refreshing. The facility smells clean and not medicinal like a lot of care facilities. The food is fresh & tasty & plentiful. I have been very comfortable with my family member living there.
