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

Definitely recommend

When our loved one first moved in, they were very anxious, stressed out and angry towards us. However, when we called the next day to check in, she had done a complete 180. Her mood completely changed, she already starting meeting friends and the staff members. She has a downstairs apartment that has her own personal yard that she can walk out to. It really has become the best fit for her.

Easy, Positive Experience

The food is good with a good variety for the residents to choose from, and they have a new chef. They have been taking the residents on tours and other recreational games for the residents to choose from. I would look around to compare, you will probably that what Grossmont Gardens if offering is the top notch for money. The community is situated on a hill; however the assisted devices can be difficult to get out of the community for those that need assistance with canes, walkers, or wheelchairs.

Wonderful Place

We chose Grossmont Gardens because of the type of care that they provided. He loves the food and has gained weight which is awesome, they have a variety on the menu and is able to choose what he wants to eat for each meal. The staff are very accommodating with zoom visits, we recently got into a different tier and they are starting to do outdoor visits which is wonderful. I would definitely recommend them to others looking

Positive experience with Grossmont Gardens

We chose Grossmont Gardens because of the proximity to family, recommendations from friends and family members, and their good reputation. My dad was in memory care unit and his room was plenty big for what his needs were. The thing that stuck out to us most about this facility was the caring staff members. I would highly recommend.

a happy and quaint garden side community

My husband loved this community, he wasn't too active but there were activities to do. Very home-like community, nice remodeled, new carpet and new paint, rooms were a good size and comfortable. The food was cold but the quality was good. I would definitely recommend this community

Nice community

It seems real safe and it is a nice setting. The staff are very really good. The food is okay They offer a daily menu with options in restaurant style dining. Right now, they are delivering three meals a day to the resident's apartments. My loved one is not happy with the bus service. We chose this community because it had a gated pool, nice walking paths, and price was right.

Very caring and loving home

The caregivers are amazing staff. I have never seen such a caring staff team. They treat her like actually family and more. The food needs improvement. The care level is incredible. The staff love her so much and she loves them so much. I chose this community because they offered us a good deal and a spacious one bedroom with a good view.

A lovely place to live

I love their staff. The rooms are comfortable and they are kept super clean. The entry process was amazing. The admissions person was like an angel. Overall, everything has been really good. The communication is great. The head nursing staff are incredible. The only negative is that the food isn't desirable.

Excellent Care

My mother and a brother have lived in a studio apartment in the assisted living section for almost two years, fondly referred to as the "Gardens". They have often told me that they really like living here. I visit quite often and am always impressed by the good attitudes of the staff and the respect they show the residents. Whenever a nurse is requested they attend to the situation immediately. I'm always impressed with how quickly they respond. If there has ever been an emergency I get a call right away. I have peace of mind knowing my mother and brother are in good care. There has been a change of management recently and we have noticed an improvement in the meals, landscaping and building repairs. Any call for mantainence is handled promptly. I highly recommend Grossmont Gardens for anyone looking in the La Mesa area.

Another great facility that had a special twist that she loved and it afforded her a little more privacy. It was called the Alcove. This is the one we chose. I will be getting the papers processed for rental. Thank you so much.

Beating expectations

Mom has been living there a few months now. I spent quite a while finding the right place and Grossmont Gardens seems to be it. So far she loves it. I have lunch with her a few times a week and the staff is helpful, she likes the food and we've encountered no problems at all. The grounds are quiet and well tended - it's peaceful and mom likes it. This has met all our expectations and then some.

Sad but True

Yes our mother was there 4 years until while being pushed in a wheel chair in her room put her feet down and went head first to the floor out of the wheel chair. I couldn't believe the care giver could not grab her, how fast can you go in a small room? Any way huge lump on her head, next day throwing up, then went into a coma and died 11 days later at a hospice house. Mom had some dementia but was in good health, and was on no medications. perfect blood pressure. Never received any report on the accident. Not even a sympathy card. They raised her monthly fees $250.00 a month every year, so get a long term price at signing, because they will raise it every year. Where ever your loved one is, you must show up and be her advocate!! We are checking into all avenues of recourse so this never happens to anyone else.

My Mom loves it there. She quickly made friends and the staff has been wonderful. They do monthly birthday parties for the residents. Hers is in August and she talked about that party for weeks. She uses the shuttle to go to doctors’ appointments and shopping and has gotten more independent since moving there. I give it two thumbs up.?? ??
