Recent reviews of Independent Living in Barona, CA
White Sands, a CCRC in La Jolla, CA
5.0 / 5.0

White Sands facility has everything from independent living to skilled nursing. They have a lot of activities to offer, it is in a really beautiful location. We could not be happier with our decision, we know our mother is safe there. The food is excellent with a wide range of choices. The rooms are very nice and adequate, they have many options to choose from. Our loved one has a beautiful view.

Novellus Clairemont in San Diego, CA
4.0 / 5.0

My loved one has recently made the move into this community and so far I have no complaints of how things had been going for him. He has had a few health problems but other than that the experience has been pleasant for him. The staff have done a great job at staying organized in his care plan and are always attentive to his needs. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone interested.

Paradise Village in National City, CA
4.8 / 5.0

The staff at Paradise Village are very responsive and helpful when needed. I would highly recommend this facility to others looking.
