Novellus Clairemont in San Diego, CA
4.1

Is recommend, definitely and I would tell and have told people (family and friends) how happy my brother is and how helpful everyone was to me while transitioning him to his new home. Made a huge difference especially under the pressure and stress with everything else going on in his life. There were 4 key factors as to why we chose Novellus: 1) remodeled updated apartments , 2) patient to patient ambassadors , 3) location - in a hub where it's close to medical facilities and medical providers in addition to all the retail my brother is accustomed to, 4) ability to select a primary care physician at location. Eased the stress for my brother.

4.0

Not a great place or luxury place but very convenience, great location close to everything schools, shopping centers, trolley. Apartments are big, only one bedroom for two people. The manager is a very responsible person and like any other human, she tries very hard to keep up with everybody in the complex. Nice place to live.
