Wow! You can smell that magnificent perfume coming from all the roses as you walk by. I can only…read moreimagine this is where the beautiful perfumes of the world come from, because the fragrance is intoxicatingly prevalent. In our case, we immediately were transfixed by it as soon as we exited my Benz to view these incredibly perfect roses. What a magnificent sight to behold and scents to inhale! Paths and walkways, all lined with gorgeous roses. The roses are a wonderful perk for each resident, who receives a rose bush as a gift. For some, it appears they have more than one...labeled with their name(s) on them. The practice of each resident receiving a rose bush began when a lady who loved roses, and was an avid gardener, thought it would be a nice idea, so she turned the wheels to set the practice in place. How cool is that!?! I learned of this from some of the residents, who are very active outside with their walkers. Many came outside on this beautiful day to enjoy it, get some exercise, and chat with people such as the likes of us along the way. This is a retirement community. Everyone we talked to was so nice. They were happy and appeared to be very well taken care of. They all spoke of how much they love where they live. I've taken pics of some of the glorious standouts, but I highly suggest you view this beauty firsthand during this particular time in the Spring. I can't speak for the inside of the residences themselves, as the only thing I learned was what I gleaned from their website listed here. The video shows a glorious ocean-view environment for the very lucky residents. Apparently, a 1 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath with 753 square feet rents for $7,325.00 per month. "This is the place", they say. If you are an aging billionaire living in La Jolla, California. Enjoy the roses I've snapped for you and all the other beautiful flowers at Casa de Manana. It is truly a marvel.

I had to hire two more caregivers from 7:00am till 3:00pm Night time from 7:00 pm till 5:00am. Seven days a week. My sister fell twice in this time frame. The first time I was told she fell in the morning at 11:00. I wasn't notified until 4:15 that afternoon. The very next day I found here kneeling in front of her bed crying because she couldn't stand up. No one was there to help. This place isn't good at anything but making excuses. The transport they supply requires that you're appointment be on a Monday because only one person can drive the van and he is the maintenance person who works in the Other facility In Los Angeles. Also they prefer your appointment is in the afternoon. Tell your doctor that!. I'll be writing more horrible stories because they never find solutions only excuses. What your told and what you get isn't even close to the truth. While I'm writing this review another resident who is always falling down just opened my sister's door and wanted to come in. Now he is arguing with the nurse (met tech) Keep your doors locked. Way under staffed when the nurse- (met tech) is doing the caregivers job.!!. The short comings never quite coming!! This won't be my last review. Still waiting for the government agency to respond back to me by email going on 2weeks. The post on the wall says see something say something. What I have to say can't be written.

I would advise anyone considering having a loved one live here to reconsider. First off, I think…read morethis home is both clean and safe. However, my experience placing a loved one here was on balance pretty negative. I was quoted a certain price when I called Liliana, the owner. After I gave notice at a skilled nursing facility, I was quoted a much higher price of almost $7,000 a month. As it turned out when I flew in to sign the paperwork, this price did not include much. We paid separately for every glove that a caregiver wore for example. I ended up being nickel and dimed for every little expense, some of which seemed very excessive and sketchy. The house itself is pretty and very sterile. There is no entertainment for the residents and no stimulation or meaningful interaction. The residents sit in front of the blaring television all day every day. There is a lot of show and very little substance. The caregivers wear white uniforms like butlers and serve residents on silver trays. But they do nothing to interact with the residents who just lie there all day. The house is pristine and looks basically not lived in. The kitchen is basically just for show and for warming up food which was all cooked off site at the other facility Liliana owns. The kitchen has a restricted area sign on it and when I would go to visit I wasn't even allowed to get water to drink from it. So, the house is not homey at all. Never is it filled with the smell of cooking food or the sound of music or talking or laughter. The place is a clean safe place to die. But if you want your loved one to be engaged in any meaningful way please look elsewhere. After a few months, we left. We are at a much less expensive board and care now. The residents are taken out to the movies. They get to hear concerts. There is some life there and it is far less depressing.

What a gorgeous place to retire in! My friend's apartment is really stunning - very modern, spacious, and with high ceilings and a patio. The landscaping is beautiful; people can easily walk to the dining room or to one of the many activities they have; and if you become less mobile, they have golf carts that will pick you up. The also send meals to people's apartments if they are unable to walk. The chaplain was super cool; they have lectures and film screenings; and the food was pretty decent! The patio was lovely, and inside lots of people were dining with friends. They have a daily special and then a regular menu. We got the soup of the day first (potato leek) which was yummy, and then I had a decent mushroom swiss omelette. They didn't have Dijon mustard, but servers were very nice, and they unfold your napkins like you're in fine dining. My friend also loves the dog park, and the beautiful old trees on the property, and the views of the ocean and PB are stunning. And we saw friends of his along the way too, and he told me about some of the other very accomplished and interesting residents. Looks like a great place to retire if you can afford it! (though it is way up on a hill, so if you're driving yourself, be prepared for the way up to be winding).

This is a brief addendum update re my parents' final days and care given. Since I would not move…read morefrom the East coast to care for them, my parents utilized my 2 West Coast siblings both male. I had just started a job out East, and finally was able to fly in exactly 24 hours before she died. I was horrified at the size, dinginess depression of her " room". It was not clean, nor orderly- - like a middle income hospital room. Horrific! My siblings had flown in 3-4 days earlier looking for documents then left 2 days before she died. Mom had colon cancer her last 6 months and completely set up her hospice directive to remain in her apt at the end. She was the Office Mngr at the Scarsdale Medical Clinic and also had been their chief medical insurance mngr for 20 years. They lived in the Heathcote section of Scarsdale from 1958 to 1980. Dad was at Einstein. Years earlier mom had POA of Dad's elder cousin and had spoken up often re all inconsistencies problems with the cousin's care to mngt at the Care Center. She was not popular with them. Her last 3 months were terrible. They completely disregarded her directives and placed her with another woman in a tiny room. Three feet to a separating curtain, barely enough room on three sides. The fourth side with just enough room for 2 chairs. She never was in her own beautiful apartment as written in her hospice directive.... she was 100 % lucid, cognizant ( could not speak) to the end. She was having problems breathing through her open mouth, so I had the one ( male) nurse who had to monitor 2 floors solo in the Care Center, come and suction out her mouth/ throat. The rest of the staff were nurses aids. He rushed in, definitely not happy. Grabbed her hard, fast , lifting her under her head with one arm ( feet off the ground), then forced the nozzle into her open mouth suctioning for what seemed like forever! So long I felt she could not breathe! She also had a terrible fall 1 -2 years earlier and almost cracked her neck. So her neck was still fragile. He finally stopped and left. Her formerly peaceful breathing was now very very weak and she died an hour later. A COMPLETE horrific nightmare! Dad had an even worse ending 3 years later, also in the Care Center. He was living too long, over 103 years old. They decided to move him out of memory care where he had been over 3 years, into the final stage at the Care Center. He was very very healthy ALL his life, a doctor. The doctor prescribed him a medication and in 3 weeks he lost 25 pounds ( very tall, very thin always) and he suddenly died shortly after. I was informed of all this after he died. You MUST must have family locally who visit often....
