Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous positive reviews from residents and their families, highlighting its excellence in numerous aspects of senior living. The community is praised for providing a wide range of social activities, appealing food offerings, and especially for its caring and attentive staff. Residents appreciate the genial atmosphere, clean and welcoming facilities, and the community's focus on celebrating holidays and special events with amazing decorations and special food. The community has been described as resort-like with bright open areas, a beautiful neighborhood, and stunning views, especially its proximity to Balboa Park. The flexibility in dining and the various amenities offered, including art classes, games, and field trips, have significantly enhanced residents' quality of life.
However, there are a few points of criticism that were raised by more than one reviewer. The cost of living in this community was mentioned as a concern, with one reviewer noting that it was out of their price range for a one-bedroom apartment, and another mentioning that similar but lesser facilities cost the same or more, implying that while the community offers great value, affordability can be an issue for some. Additionally, there were some initial issues with drug regimens and communication around those issues, as well as some added charges that were not well communicated. Another reviewer pointed out that the food quality was average, with some meals being served cold. Despite these criticisms, the staff's professionalism, the cleanliness of the facility, and the comprehensive range of amenities available have led many reviewers to recommend this community to others.
