"Clean and Comfortable Assisted Living Facility with Helpful Staff"

We really liked the facility. It's super clean and well-maintained. My dad's apartment is really nice and comfy. The staff has been quick to answer our questions. A month after my dad moved in, they started using a new online rent system. It's been a bit tough because there are some quirks they're working out. We're hopeful they'll fix those things and make it easier in the future. Overall, I'd give the facility a high rating and definitely recommend it to others who might want their parents to move there. The only downside is the food, but I hear that's pretty normal for places like this.

"Costs Up, Care Down at Senior Home"

This place seems better suited for folks who don’t need much help. They have a bus for outings, but if you use a wheelchair, you’re out of luck. When you need a caregiver, be ready to wait a while after hitting the help button. They don’t check on people enough either. Plus, they just told us care costs are going up by a bunch each month.

"Poor Cleaning and Delayed Emergency Response in Assisted Living Facility"

They didn't clean the room regularly, and when they did, it wasn't very thorough - it was just moving stuff around. The worst part was when my mom fell, she pressed her alert button and was left on the floor for over an hour before anyone came to help her. This happened at 3:30 in the morning when they probably weren't even busy. The only positive I can share is when I moved mom the manager was very kind.

"Comfortable Assisted Living with Engaging Activities"

Staff is friendly and helpful. Food options are good, and they offer room service if you can’t dine with others. Bring personal items from home for comfort. Overall, it’s a nice place with engaging daily activities.

"Assisted Living Facility Falls Short in Comfort and Atmosphere"

We visited Las Villas Del Norte while looking for a place for our family member. We weren't impressed. I didn't like that residents had to walk to showers in the hallway, like a dorm. It felt too much like a hospital.

"Mixed Feelings About Assisted Living Facility"

Overall, I'd say it's okay. The place is big, but cleanliness disappoints me. They seem attentive to my concerns, though. Not as fancy as [community name removed], but cheaper. My biggest issue? Waiting for someone to let me in and out of the memory care area—it feels like a sterile hospital.

"Terrible facility; unstaffed, uncommunicative, and caused premature death."

This living facility was a total mess for my family. They barely had enough staff. Trying to get in touch with them was like pulling teeth and it took them forever -like 15 minutes- to open the door after my sister checked in to visit our grandma. They didn't even seem to care much about my grandma. Worst part? They didn't say a word about an infection, which ended up taking my grandma away. It's a shame how the folks running Del Norte manage the place, especially the memory care facility. They straight up lied about what my grandma and our family would go through. Our grandma was super healthy before she moved to Del Norte. She didn't even struggle when she faced covid a couple of years ago.

"Mixed Experience with Staff and Services"

They really try hard. The staff is always nice and seems to give their best effort. But, there's a high turnover rate and they always have excuses for it. Sometimes, showers get missed, and meds occasionally aren't given on time. Maintenance requests take a while to get answered. The price keeps going up each year by a lot more than they said it would, and they always have an excuse for that too. Even with more money, they still can't keep enough staff. The dining room only serves meals at certain times, not like they said it would. It takes a while to hear back from the administration. The residents are awesome, and most of the staff really cares. The renovations are nice, but they come with a big cost for the residents. It seems like they're done now, but we're still waiting for the third cable transition to finish.

"Strong Staff Communication"

The residents and caregivers have great relationships, and communication between management and staff is ensured.

"Assisted Living Needs Fixes to Reach Potential"

The assisted living place takes too long to fix things like lights, keys, and air filters. The walls outside are falling apart, and toilets need fixing too. Dining room wait times are improving, but menus don't match the food. It could be good if they fix everything, but I wouldn't suggest it until then.

"Bad Experience at Las Villas Del Norte; Improvement Needed"

Las Villas Del Norte seriously needs some big changes. They should stick to a real program and offer genuine activities. They also need more kind-hearted people around. For us, it was a really bad experience there.

"Assisted Living Review: Care Declined as Facility Filled Up"

We liked it more when my mom first moved in. Towards the end, it got busier. As more people moved in, the care wasn't as good. It was harder to be with residents who had more problems, and it got noisier. But the staff were really caring and nice.

"Great Care at an Affordable Price"

This place is great! It's affordable and easy to get to. The staff knows what they're doing, and the residents are well taken care of.

"Caring and Knowledgeable Staff Make a Difference"

My dad lives here now, and the staff has been really good at helping him as much as they can. They know a lot about the care he needs. When he gets upset, they’re good at calming him down. The food sounds pretty good with lots of choices. There are many activities too. Residents can go to church on Sundays, work in the garden, and there’s a weekly group for families with loved ones who have Dementia. Overall, I would recommend this place.

"Ideal for Mom"

I really like how the staff here encourages my mom to leave her room. They offer lots of fun activities every day. The caregivers and management are friendly, quick, and dependable. The carpeted rooms are always clean and well-maintained. Plus, the staff communicates well. The food is good, and they even have family lunches a couple of times each month. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a home for their loved ones.

"I toured this community"

The staff was nice and helped us during the tour. They answered all my questions. The property was okay, but the rooms were too small. We wanted a bigger apartment, which wasn't what Mom was looking for.

"Great Place for Dad"

Its really helped me out when I was looking for a place for my dad. They knew what I needed and were helpful. I liked how they had different levels of care and the backyard was so nice, perfect for walks and chilling out.

"Heartland Village at Las Villas Del Norte: Great Care and Comfort"

My mom has moderate dementia and lives at the Heartland Village memory care facility in Las Villas Del Norte (LVDN). Her room is spacious with a peaceful view of a sunny courtyard with grass, shrubs, and trees. Visitors are always impressed by how calm and lovely her surroundings are. She even has a private bathroom, which adds to her comfort. The caregivers at Heartland Village are incredibly kind, patient, and friendly. They understand how to care for people with dementia and make sure my mom has all the support she needs. She often tells me how happy she is to be there. There are lots of activities for residents, though my mom doesn’t participate in many because she likes to stay indoors. The staff encourages her, though, and she sometimes joins in, like with flower arranging. This summer, she even wanted to go to the annual luau, which was held in LVDN’s big outdoor courtyard. She had a great time with the buffet, Polynesian entertainment, and her souvenir leis. We both had fun! The food at Heartland Village is well-balanced with a good variety, and they make sure my mom sticks to her low-sugar diet. She doesn’t eat much, so I’ve gotten to try her meals, and they’re tasty! One service that’s really helpful is the transportation to medical appointments. Since my mom uses a wheelchair and has trouble getting into my car, the LVDN bus is perfect for taking her to and from appointments. If I can’t go, they can arrange for a caregiver to stay with her, which is super convenient. After my mom had surgery, she stayed at the LVDN Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) for recovery. Her stay there was wonderful, unlike other places she’s been to. It felt like coming home for her, and when she was ready to leave, they made it easy to move her back to her Heartland room. There’s also a nurse on duty 24/7 at LVDN. My mom has had a few falls, and the nurse always checks on her and decides if she needs to go to the ER, then calls me right away. For future planning, I’m glad LVDN has an option for bed-bound residents. If my mom ever needs more care, she’ll be able to move to that section and stay in a place she already knows and feels comfortable in. Overall, LVDN is a clean, well-kept place with a caring and skilled staff. My mom gets great care and is happy living at Heartland Village.

"My Experience of the Community"

The tour was nice. I got a good look at the community. Everything I saw was good. I wanted a smaller place with a homelike feel. The person I met was friendly and professional.

"We loved our short stay at Las Villas!"

We were at Las Villas for a short time, and it was fantastic! The staff took wonderful care of us, and we got the rest we needed before going back home. We were very happy with our stay!

"Room layout great, food boring. Exercise options lacking. Adjustment ongoing."

My family member is still getting used to living here. He's not happy with the food; he finds it really dull. I think they should involve residents more in exercise activities. He mentioned he went on walks a couple of times, but the exercise equipment they have isn't enough. We picked Las Villas because we really liked how the rooms were set up.

"Mom’s Happy and Busy, We’re Happy Too"

Our mom has been at the facility for one week, and everything is going well. We've visited every day, and she's been so happy and busy that she hardly has time to see us.

"A Comfortable Place for Mom"

Mom is doing really good at Las Villas. The workers are friendly and seem to be paying more attention now. The food is healthy and balanced, but it's kind of plain. The place is clean and taken care of. Mom enjoys joining in on some of the daily stuff they do. The rooms are big, and the place feels more open compared to others we checked out.

This is a nice place, and my loved one is doing great here. She has adjusted well, and I feel good about her moving here. The staff is excellent and takes good care of her needs. They keep the facility clean and tidy. Everything is going well, and I would recommend this community.

"Thank you, Las Villas Del Norte"

Las Villas Del Norte in Escondido, CA, has been amazing in every way. The staff is kind, caring, and skilled, giving my mom the perfect place to live. Moving her from home to assisted living was hard, but after 9 months here, I’m sure it was the best decision. The facility is clean, safe, and beautiful, with healthy meals and a team that genuinely cares about her well-being. My mom's health, attitude, and happiness have improved so much. Even on tough days, the staff is patient and compassionate. This place is truly a rare gem.

"Going the Extra Mile!"

The people who work here are really friendly and caring. They showed me a list of all the fun things they do. Plus, they let me have lunch during the tour, and the food is awesome. The dining room is a good size for everyone.

"Peace of Mind Assured at La Villas del Norte"

My sister started living at La Villas del Norte three weeks ago. She really enjoys it there. Before, she lived in a retirement home where she could do everything on her own, but there were no nurses if she needed help. Despite that, she liked everything else about her old place. Now, she feels safe at La Villas del Norte because there are nurses if she ever needs them.

""Decent Spot With Upgrades On The Way!""

I visited this place for a quick look around and it seemed kind of worn out. But, they're supposed to be fixing it up and making it nicer. The people who work there were pretty nice, but they didn't seem as helpful as the folks at my mom's place.

"Nice Place with Room for More Weekend Activities"

They could have more activities on weekends. Overall, it’s a nice place. My mom liked her time there.

"So Far, So Good"

Things are going well so far. No big problems at this point. I really liked that they had two nice outdoor areas, and their prices were reasonable.

"Satisfied with Las Villas Del Norte"

Las Villas Del Norte was nice. I didn't have any issues with the place. Overall, it was a positive experience. However, my dad was a bit hard to handle, so we had to take him out of there. Except for that, everything went smoothly.

"Decent Assisted Living Facility"

I don't have much to say about Las Villas Del Norte. It's alright, I suppose. I gave it four stars because some parts are better than others.

"Top-notch care at Las Villas Del Norte, highly pleased!"

The people working at Las Villas Del Norte are the greatest. I'm really happy with them. I've watched my husband eating the food there and it looks really good. Even though my husband doesn't join in any activities, they do have them available. I'm extremely satisfied with this place.

"Super nice and thoughtful staff"

Everyone at Las Villas Del Norte has been super nice and thoughtful. I have no complaints and would definitely recommend them.

"Nice place to be!"

I live far away, and they are always available when I need them. I can always reach someone, and they make managing things from a distance easy. One time, my mom had a fall and came back from the emergency room at 3:00 a.m. The caregiver wasn't paying attention, but I talked to them about it, and everything has been fine since. I think it's a pretty nice place to be.

"Good Place, Excessive Extras for 92-Year-Old"

This place was good, but had too many fancy extras that my 92-year-old mother-in-law didn't need.

"Friendly Staff and Clean Environment, But Management Needs Improvement"

It's really clean, and the people who work here are super nice. The food is okay, kinda like what you'd get at a restaurant, but not exactly. They've got stuff to do, which is cool. Overall, it's a nice spot. But, the management is a bit shaky. They're not very organized, and it feels like they're not on the same page. They just got new managers, and it's been kinda bumpy.

3/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Not The Ideal Place For Assisted Living"

This place didn't really work out for us. Everything had extra cost and it felt like they sort of forgot about them once they moved in. My mom would only come out for her meals and meds, not much else was happening. They were supposed to clean the apartment weekly but I'd say it was more like monthly and it's was pretty poorly done. It wasn't a nice experience overall, and they didn't provide any special care for dementia or Alzheimer's. It's more of a place where they provide basic help.

"Only 2 days in, staff is amazing!"

My mom has only been here for 2 days, but I'm very happy with the care and attention from the staff. I'll give you an update in a month!

"Short but Sweet!"

Sadly, our time at Las Villas Del Norte was brief because my mother-in-law passed away (we kind of expected it). She went on hospice shortly after arriving there. The caregivers were amazing during those tough weeks. Our four young daughters often visited Margie with us, and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy their presence. Even though it was only a short stay, it felt like Grandma's home, and we were grateful for that. Wish it could have been longer, but our time was priceless!

"Decent Assisted Living Facility, but Needs Improvement"

Overall, the service is okay for our needs - my family member only needs help with medicine. The staff is nice and remembers most people's names, with maybe one or two exceptions among the dining room staff. The nurses and care staff pay attention to how the residents are doing. I'm a little worried about how late morning medicine is given if you don't pick it up yourself - it seems really late. The food is okay but having more choices of cooked vegetables would be a good addition. My family member used to like all kinds of food, but now doesn't enjoy the meals here. The high-carb, low vegetable diet has been a big issue for a lot of people living here, based on the meetings we've had. The place's bus isn't reliable so planned trips are often canceled. When you ask about it, you might not receive a response. Despite these problems, my family member stays here. I guess other places probably have their own issues or even worse ones. For now, this is working for us.

"Las Villas Del Norte: A Top Choice!"

Las Villas Del Norte is really nice. The nurses are sure about the care they give. The place is super clean. I’ve seen many other places, but this one is definitely one of the best. I’d totally recommend it.

""

On August 19th, I talked to Marie about the 1-bedroom option, which costs $2,263. The facility offers 24-hour nursing care and has a 5-star Medicare rating. They also have a walking club, outings, and a Concert in the Park with packed dinner. The dining room is open from 7 AM to 7 PM, and they have special meals and à la carte options. Transportation to the doctor is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in the morning. Mobile physicians visit the facility, which serves both independent and assisted living residents, totaling 100 people

"Best we’ve seen, bigger balconies, always a nurse!"

This place is the best we’ve seen! The balconies are bigger, everything is clean and cheerful, and the outside area is fantastic. There’s always a nurse on duty, and it’s close to us!

"Great Price and Fresh, Friendly Atmosphere"

The only downside is that the maintenance staff isn’t very quick to respond. My loved one is living independently here. The caregivers are really friendly and warm. They have a courtyard and indoor spaces where families can meet. The price is great for what they offer, and everything was remodeled last August, so everything looks new and fresh!

"Wonderful Assisted Living Facility!"

This place is really nice! It's super clean, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. They always let me know if Mom isn't feeling well or if they have any concerns. This was the first place we checked out, and I was so impressed that I didn't need to look anywhere else!

"Extremely Happy with This Place!"

We are super happy here! It's really clean and the staff is awesome. It's about the same price as the other place, but it's way better. It's much more professional. They really know what they're doing. They provide a nice, clean, and comfy place for older people. The food is great. There are so many choices, so if you don't like something, there are other options. My mom only goes down for dinner. It's presented nicely and the servers are great. They're well-trained and polite.
