overall pretty good but needs improvement

Care services - There have been occasions when I have asked for a wellness check because I couldn't get a hold of the resident on her cell, and it took me calling back to get any news. A land line in the room did not seem to be much of an option two ago. The cost of minimum care beyond residency will be over [fee removed] in January. That is way too high of a cost for someone living independently and just needs a presence, in case of a fall, while they shower completely on their own. The resident pulled the emergency string in her room because her cell phone was not working and she could not walk. It took 30 minutes for someone to arrive. The staff could not have known what the emergency was so 30 minutes is shockingly long to respond. There had been a change in ownership to Grossmont Gardens, and the food service has significantly gone down hill. The choices are few, repetitive, and the service in the dining room can be painfully slow. Understaffing and high turnover seem to be a problem.... Read more

Come to the Garden

We picked this community, because of the location, cost, and services. They have a nice facility, nice staff, good caregivers, a great location, and average meals. They need improvement with communication-avalability to solve issues.

Our tour of Grossmont Gardens

We toured Grossmont Gardens and it was okay. The facility seemed a bit old and dark. The apartments were small. I think this facility needs a lot of TLC.

Positive experience

The room my loved one had was spacious & clean; trash is emptied daily. Friendly staff; knowledgeable & responsive to questions/concerns. I don't believe they have a minimum stay for respite; strictly month to month, unlike other places we looked into. My mom was there for two months and gave a 30-day notice at the end of the first month there.

This community has really good activities for the clients, they even take them on some field trips. The staff insisted we provide an electric Hoyer life, which costs more and was harder for us to locate. .

good community and beautiful grounds

Grossmont gardens is on beautiful grounds in la Mesa. Very kind staff. Building is slightly outdated but being worked on. Lots of effort in the food department. Safe. Caring. Responsive. Lots of activities. Prices went up a bit but still a better value than most private pay.

our families experience

The staff members gets 10 stars when it comes to their friendliness, they are so amazing. The nurses are great to and have been able to handle our loved ones care - if/when they need assistance with our loved one they will give us a call so we can assistance so they have great communication. Our loved one needs 100% care so to us the value is worth it and we would absolutely recommend Grossmont Gardens to other families.

Complete Satisfaction

The communication is stellar, everyone is welcoming and friendly, the staff extremely competent. The only "issue" is my loved one seems to have an occasional meal that they don't like. HOWEVER, there is an alternative menu they can choose from if they remember. I picked this community, because of the location, cleanliness, staff, and activities.

Would recommend - ask specific questions

We tried to hone in on every detail as best we could since we were new to senior living. We asked a lot of questions, which they answered, but they didn't provide insight otherwise. I would recommend being very diligent in asking questions to receive necessary information since they provide only basic information when you ask. Regarding the staff, the caregivers and maintenance were awesome. I thought management and accounting needed improvement.

This was a very nice community and this was a second choice just in case my loved one had to relocate. We ended up not going with this community just because my loved one was not prepared to move at the time.

My review of Grossmont

They weren't bad and they weren't good either. My father was in the nursing care unit and there was a language barrier. For the amount of money paid I did not feel like the level of care matched. The staff were very nice and helpful.
