As I seen firsthand while we were seeking for a location for my relatives, the staff is family oriented, compassionate, and nurturing. Crest View Manor is one of the best living facilities in San Diego County, comparable to [removed]. Priced reasonably. This historical property of the old Scripps Escondido ranch is lovely and nicely kept. The care is excellent. Encourages freedom and a high quality of life. The community is quite active.

My mom really liked Crest View Manor. It has a great staff and is very clean. I would definitely recommend Crest View Manor to anyone. They were great. Unfortunately my mom was there during Covid, so there wasn't too much activities taking place. But it was a great facility.

I recently saw her for her [removed]birthday and was amazed at the improvements I saw: She has not been this happy in a long time.....She is calm and brimming with happiness and enthusiasm about living at Crest View Manor.....Her walking is stronger and more stable with better balance as she uses her walker.....She sees a beautiful view as she uses her walker to go to the dining room 3 times a day. She has lost some (extra) weight

Great Experience

My mother-in-law and father-in-law moved to Crest View Manor in September 2013 from out of state. They were not happy about leaving their home, but were pleasantly surprised as to how much like home they felt here. Their room has a fireplace and is charming. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law passed away last August, and the compassion the administration and staff has given my father-in-law is amazing. There are all kinds of activities, beautiful views, and warmth throughout.
