Pacifica Senior Living Vista
4.8

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.

White Sands, a CCRC in La Jolla, CA
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.
