Recent reviews of Independent Living in Pauma Valley, CA
Atria Park of Vintage Hills in Temecula, CA
4.4

The housing and grounds are exceptional....beautiful and very well kept. Even more impressive is the welcoming and supportive environment created by both the staff and residents of this facility. As far as food goes - stick to basics rather than trying to serve exotics, ensure that food is served warm. (My intent was to rate food as average...some dishes are very good/exceptional, while others are sub par, which may be unavoidable when trying to cater to so many different tastes)

I recently visited my Grandmother and it was so sweet! How they hosted events for the residents was so heartwarming. The staff was so nice and welcoming, I really enjoyed how respectful and involved they are in my grandmothers care.
