We would have to give Everest at Oceanside a 5 for all so far. They have great communication with me for all needs and care and I would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.
Overall, my parents are loving living in Santianna. The staff is fantastic. Everyone in the community appears to be friendly and nice. The food has been an ongoing issue. While everything else about living at Santianna has been positive, the meals have been an ongoing negative. While there are basics that are always available and OK, the meals are generally just OK with some being terrible. On occasion there have been good or ever great meals mentioned, most weeks I get the same comments about the need for a new Chef.
My mom really liked Crest View Manor. It has a great staff and is very clean. I would definitely recommend Crest View Manor to anyone. They were great. Unfortunately my mom was there during Covid, so there wasn't too much activities taking place. But it was a great facility.
