"Inadequate Care, Unfit Environment at Assisted Living Facility"
This place might look nice with a friendly couple hosting it, but looks can be downright deceiving. The lady of the house pulls all-nighters, doing all the tasks herself - from caring for the residents to preparing the meals and cleaning. Her husband, on the other hand, spends his nights at Vegas casinos. I do believe they are not equipped to perform basic medical care. We had to call in someone when my brother got hurt during a meal. Their day-to-day meals include some sort of Filipino cuisine and sandwiches with peanut butter. They weren't too fond either of my brother trying to sit outdoors because helping him get in and out of bed was too arduous for them. My brother, a paraplegic recovering from a hip surgery, was not permitted to move. Plus, they kept him in diapers rather than assisting him with using the restroom. He spent most nights alone, uncomfortable and unable to get help, despite he could hear other people. In a nutshell, I'd say they're no good as an assisted living facility. Might do okay as a bed and breakfast though. Anyway, when my brother demanded to leave after a month, they did give him a ride to his place, but left him there alone, unable to move and in a vulnerable state.

"Beautiful, Caring Home with Excellent Senior Services"
We were really impressed with our tour. The home is in a great neighborhood and looks beautiful inside and out. The owner knows a lot about senior care and offers everything to make life easy for residents and their families. We visited after lunch, and everyone was watching a movie together and seemed very happy. The San Marcos home costs more than Oceanside, but I bet it’s just as spotless.

"A Wonderful Place for Loved Ones"
I talked to the staff about caring for my husband and got a great feeling about this place. They had everything we needed and it was close to home. I believe it would have been a good choice for my husband's care. I would recommend this community to other families looking for care for their loved ones.

"Family-Friendly and Personal Care"
My uncle has settled in really well at Blue Skies. Everything is going great, and we're very happy with our choice. The staff is super nice and helpful, and the place is really clean. I have no worries about that. The community feels very family-friendly and personal, which is great for my uncle. He seems to be doing really well.

"Unimpressive Visit to Assisted Living Facility, Lacking Professionalism"
We got to the assisted living place right on time for our meeting, but no one picked up the phone to let us inside the gate. Eventually, we managed to get in by following another car. We tried ringing the doorbell, knocking on the door, and even called again. Finally, a worker let us inside. The person we had our appointment with, wasn't there. She didn't even call us to let us know. We got a brief tour of the place but found out there weren't any rooms available. The whole visit was pointless.

"Communication mishap causes inconvenience, otherwise clean and organized facility."
Nice new house in a gated area. The house is clean and looks well arranged. We had a room reserved for May, but there was a mix-up with the owner! They said we could have the room, but then, the week of April 21, they called to say the room wasn't available anymore, even though we had already told Silvergate we were leaving in 30 days! It put us in a tough spot!

"Caring but needs more activities and better communication."
Mom cared for, residents well-groomed. Lacks activities, communication challenging. Good care, grooming; improve activities, communication.
