My Family's Experience

Short staffed, my relative had slept in her clothes the first night, her breakfast tray was in her nightstand, untouched and cold. No one had gotten her up for breakfast, We hired a caregiver to come 2xweek to be sure my relative was bathed and taken outdoors for short walk. Not a good value for the money

My high school reunion

I would recommend them. Two things stood out for us: 1) the large park north of your home 2) easy accessibility to everything.

Excellent overview, but limited capabilities. Their limited hours for food service was understandable, given the smaller facility, but would have been problematic for our needs.

Review for Gardens at Escondido

Cleanliness was good, room size was great, staff was horrific. They should never have accepted my husband because they could not meet his needs. He had to be fed and they don't feed any of their residents. I only found that out after he was there. Also, I told them that my husband could get agitated and combative, and then once he was there, they seemed shocked by his agitation and combativeness. The staff was not trained to deal with this. They did an assessment before accepting him. I told them at the assessment
