Fun and caring place!

Honestly, I give Holiday The Springs of Escondido a 5 in all of those categories. My mom is very happy there. The whole staff goes out of their way to make it a great experience for the residents. I guess the food would be a 4.5, but it hard to serve that many seniors and keep it interesting but workable for everyone.

Th Springs of Escondido

The staff is all very nice and available to answer questions and help with the residences needs. The one bedroom is very spacious with a large walk in closet in the hall and a regular one on the bedroom. With a balcony as well.

Save hours of research

Excellent. The man who helped me called right away and really simplified the search for a place! I cannot believe how much easier it was to mot have to search on my own and he also had recommended a place that I never thought of which was a perfect fit for my sister. The value of A place for Mom service and expertise is I credible. I will not hesitate to use again if needed and will highly recommend to anyone searching for a retirement home.

Way Beyond our Expectations!

Thinking about each of those items one through eight I can honestly say that I wait them a five in all of those areas. We could not be happier. The staff work together and cover all of the day to day requests without any concern about whose job it is. They all seem to know the residents personally, and when my mom had her first meal there on her own, the activities director knew exactly who to sit her with, and now Mom's first friend is her best friend at the residence.
