    Why are people saying such mean things about Fredricka Manor?…read more I just visited yesterday, My parents were there 8 years ago and they have totally upgraded the look from the Great Generation to the Baby Boomer generation. I loved it for my parents but it truly has sparked up for the new genertion coming in. The food looked and tasted delicious and far better than any I saw on pictures from other places. The rooms are clean, fresh and updated. The social calendars couldn't be better and the residences I met who were close to my age, loved it. They couldn't say enough good things about it and they were all participating in different activities from each other. Not only were activities abundant but holidays were made to be celebrated with special events offered and residences were signing up for trips to Lambs House Theater to upcoming plays, Peohe's was another sign up opportunity. I could say more but I do think they are not represented fairly. You should check them out! Susan Kennedy

    In August 2024, we contacted and visited Frederika Manor in Chula Vista…read more All required documents, including medical, were submitted. We looked at the available units two times. My friend was approved to live there for one year. Then the salesperson abruptly changed her mind, saying my friend did not have enough money to live there long-term. This salesperson would have saved us a lot of aggravation, time, and expense if she had been upfront about the financial requirements from the very beginning. She told us Frederika Manor is a "non-profit" organization, but clearly it is all about "profit/money".

Staff and servers knew my name after a day! Good food. And since it's San Diego, many retired Naval personnel, well educated. I'm now on the 3rd floor along with my cat.

    Our parents moved to Pasea in 2021, and during the years that followed, we witnessed firsthand the…read morecompassion, professionalism, and genuine kindness that define this community. As our mother's health gradually declined, the caregivers never stopped treating her with patience, dignity, and respect. They cared for her not simply as a resident, but as a person whose comfort and well-being truly mattered. One of the things that impressed us most was the consistency of the staff. From the reception team to the caregivers, nurses, dining staff, housekeeping, maintenance, and management, everyone we encountered was friendly, caring, and committed to providing exceptional service. It is clear that Pasea has built a culture where residents come first. We are especially grateful to Executive Director Kim, whose leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication are evident throughout the community. When we learned she had returned as Executive Director, it brought our family tremendous peace of mind. Her commitment to excellence and resident-centered care is reflected in every aspect of Pasea. We also want to recognize Nef, who has been an incredible source of support throughout our mother's stay. He was always responsive, compassionate, and willing to help whenever questions or concerns arose. Families going through difficult times need people like Nef, and we are deeply grateful for his kindness. Pasea itself is beautiful, welcoming, and impeccably maintained, but what truly sets it apart is its people. Beautiful buildings can be found anywhere; compassionate caregivers cannot. The warmth and humanity of the entire team are what make this community so special. Our mother is now leaving Pasea only because she has the opportunity to be reunited with our father, who is in hospice care at another facility. While our hearts are heavy because of the circumstances, we leave with profound gratitude for everyone who cared for our parents over these past several years. Thank you to every caregiver, nurse, receptionist, dining team member, housekeeper, maintenance staff member, administrator, and volunteer who touched our parents' lives. Your kindness gave our family comfort during some of the most difficult years we have ever faced. If you are looking for an assisted living or memory care community where your loved one will be treated with dignity, compassion, and genuine respect, I wholeheartedly recommend Pasea. Our family will always be grateful for everything you have done. From: Dr. Aireen Gutierrez (UCSD-Dept of Geriatrics)

    We found Assisting Hands when a California based family member conducted an extensive and thorough…read moresearch of options to provide care for my wife's father. As my father in law is now approaching 102 (next month), the level of care is now essential and "round the clock". With us living on the East Coast and for my wife's father to be able to remain in his own home, having a fully reliable and conscientious service was not only very important but now has become a true requirement. Because of the commitment and dedication of the owner and a number of also extraordinary staff members, we believe that the care provided has most often been truly excellent. Over now more than 2 years, Assisting Hands has earned our Trust and Confidence. When a caregiver was unavailable, Assisting Hands has always been agile and "there" to assure continuous "on site" coverage, without exception. We thank the owner and a large number of caregivers for their fine efforts, often exceeding high expectations, and delivering a level of service that has permitted my father in law to be able to stay in his home, as he very much wanted and currently desires. Should there be any questions that could be addressed by us, kindly contact the owner of Assisting Hands for our Western, New York contact information. It is true for us that a partnership with an organization such as Assisting Hands works best when there is an active family support person(s) in full contact with the service provider. The owner of Assisting Hands has gone well beyond more than both normal and high expectations to personally do everything possible to provide quality, timely, and proactive service. We have been very impressed and appreciative for the excellent overall personal services received. We very much recognize what Assisting Hands has provided for our family. We are grateful to my wife's sister for finding Assisting Hands and initiating its services, and to Nina for her caring approach in running her business. JGU
