The mgr Stephanie never seems to be available for a call or in person meeting and upon our visits she's never present in the office. There have been occasions where Ive stopped by to speak with her and while told she was on a call she was seen leaving out of her door & exiting the property. I'm almost certain there's no hope in getting things resolved and we don't plan to renew! I see some residents in the reviews who constantly nag and keep tabs on staff as if they are their nurse or sitter however we try our best to stay out of the way unless a case of an emergency or a question relating to our ledger, work order, or any other property matter unrelated to snacks and drinks! So it saddens me that when we are reaching out about more important matters we are unable to reach the manager and feel she doesn't not want to engage. I believe the constant turnover in front desk staff shouldn't only speak to the employee in itself but also to the management team leading them and setting the tone for a welcoming and productive work environment Lastly ( whether we stay or not ) we've seen a few people come and go in this desk upfront but I really hope the new leasing consultant Darian is here to stay! She has been very helpful and supportive when we call and she has an attentiveness like we haven't seen from office staff in a while when we visit. I hope that these residents in the reviews don't run her off by simply treating her as if she's their sitter and not their front office staff.

I was recently with a friend whose husband is living in the Memory Care part of Silvergate and…read morevisited with him while he had lunch. Although the facility is VERY nice, I was really surprised to see he was given a plate with several different types of foods mixed together. He kept asking what this was and what that was, and then he refused to eat. What really surprised me was that this is a facility that caters to older people. Gee, doesn't everyone know that children and very elderly people don't like their foods all mixed together? People like to identify what they're eating and the person who has dementia can't remember what all the foods are (and that they're safe to eat) if you can't identify them. It's just too confusing and it's one more bump in the road they don't deserve!

This place is awesome. I would live there in a heartbeat.! It's a beautiful facility so much to do.read more

A Truly Exceptional Skilled Nursing Facility…read more Our family is incredibly grateful for the outstanding care my dad received at this skilled nursing facility. From the moment he arrived, it was clear that the staff genuinely care about their patients. Every nurse, CNA, therapist, and team member showed warmth, kindness, and a level of compassion that created a true healing environment. What really stood out is how committed they are to helping patients maintain a sense of normalcy and dignity. They encouraged my dad to keep a daily routine--waking up, getting dressed, and enjoying his meals in the dining room rather than staying isolated in his room. That structure made a remarkable difference in his overall mood and recovery. The activities they offer are wonderful and thoughtfully planned. From bingo and painting to live music and social events, they keep the residents engaged, active, and connected. It's clear they put their hearts into making each day meaningful. Bottom line: they go above and beyond. This is, without question, the best skilled nursing facility we have experienced. Our family cannot recommend them highly enough.

Bayshire was recommended by the VA Social Services for Rehabilitation after knee replacement…read moresurgery. Met with them twice, toured the facilities. In the second meeting I relayed that the surgeon and primary doctors recommended that I not go there because of a higher risk possibility of infection associated with hospitals and rehab facilities. I told them that the surgery was being done on an outpatient basis and that the surgeon wanted me out that day or the next day. On the morning of the surgery I called to make sure that I had a room available and was told for the first time that Medicare would only start after three days of being in the hospital. I was appalled and said why was this not mentioned before, because this disqualified me from using their facilities. All I got was that the hospital knew that. I said what about me? Why did they fail to mention this in our conversations. The surgery was cancelled while we now look rebook the surgery and look for a suitable place to rehab. NOT GOOD for me or my knee. Not good for the scuttled surgery team.

They are exceptionally skilled, attentive, and genuinely invested in each resident's progress and well-being.

It's clear they go beyond the basics--they truly care about the people they serve.

Richard, Elizabeth, and Lisa have helped with home health care obstacles to assure my mom gets services she needs and is eligible for. The move in process was surprisingly simple. Most important, my mom loves her beautiful room with its access to the gorgeous patio. The owners act on requests promptly, like when I asked that they remove a small sofa so I could bring in my mom's vanity table. Days after moving in, my mom turned 95. I was able to do a masked and distanced short visit on the patio with a cake and some gifts; the staff put up banners and brought her flowers out to the patio to decorate. They even did her makeup for her. The staff is thoughtful, warm, and friendly, and seem to truly love what they do. My mom says they are so nice and the residents are easy to get along with. She loves the food, too. I saw photos and the video tour of the home prior to visiting but they do not do justice to how clean, bright, and lovely it is. Tastefully decorated and comfy, plus residents can furnish and decorate their room. I am fiercely protective of my mom and her safety, well-being, and happiness. I absolutely made the right choice with Mount Carmel Assisted Living.

The residential community is so warm and welcoming.

The facility itself is beautiful. The owner, Bill and his wife are there frequently and their aging parents have lived there as well. They have added personal touches to the furnishings which make it feel so much like home. They know all the residents and much of the family by name. We are so grateful for their loving care of our parents. We were truly blessed to have found such a hidden gem.

She is paying a lot for her studio apartment there and an additional $800 for her assisted care. They recently gave her an invoice that her $800 charge was increased to $1300. They don't even help her now!!!! They refuse to put her arthritis cream on her shoulders but a give her a full shower??? I'm so mad and sad for her. No one who works there seems to care at all. My grandma pressed her life alert at 9:20 one night, no one arrives until almost 11pm because the one person on staff just WENT HOME EARLY BECAUSE SHE WAS TIRED??? No other staff to help with residents and my grandma just had her necklace beeping for over an hour. When someone finally showed up for her to changed her bra and underwear if was some 19 year old man she didn't know. She'd told the staff she was only comfortable with a woman doing that. She's paying so much. This is cruel. I'm on the verge of seeking out a lawyer. This is bordering on elder abuse. Care has been absolutely horrible, especially for the charge and now this increase. I won't let it happen.

I am writing this review based on the tour I had with Kathleen. I toured both the Assisted Living…read moreand the Memory Care floors. The place feels warm, uplifting and inviting. It's also very clean and doesn't smell. I love the setup of the memory care. Sometimes your loved one may be between the two levels of care, and may benefit from socializing people in the assisted living. Ivy Park allows that when appropriate, which is unique and something I love about this place. I also liked the floor plan of the Memory Care on the third floor. The hallway is like a loop, instead of a straight hallway with fire doors at the ends (where people with dementia may try to leave). The entire place feels like a nice hotel lobby where people gather. I also felt that this place takes fall prevention seriously - it's a major concern for elderly people in general but especially those with dementia. The flooring and the way furniture was set up in the common areas was thoughtful, i.e., there wasn't anything that was sticking out where you could trip or bump into. Another facility I recently toured had multiple strips across the hallway, maybe to cover the flooring joints. I saw a woman walking with a walker, and she had to stop and slightly pick up her walker every time she went over those bumps. I toured 30+ facilities in San Diego County when I worked as a social worker, and I have to say this place was one of the best I've seen. I toured for my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law chose another place closer to her home. But I would have definitely chosen Ivy Park if it were up to me. Highly recommended.

Deeply Disappointed with Belmont Village Sabre Springs…read more I'm very disappointed with the care and concern my mother received at Belmont Village Sabre Springs. She was often left waiting 30-40 minutes just to be taken to the dining room for meals -- a situation that happened frequently and caused her significant distress. Eventually, I had to purchase her an electric wheelchair just so she could get to meals on time. But the biggest disappointment came when I was informed -- without warning or any meaningful discussion -- that her monthly rate would jump from $5,950 to $6,370 and then suddenly to over $10,000 a month. I was told this was due to a "reassessment," which felt more like an excuse to justify a massive rate hike than a genuine evaluation of her needs. I attempted to speak with the Director, Tracy Knepple, about this unreasonable increase, but I was met with rudeness and unprofessionalism. I was treated with complete disregard and disrespect, despite being a concerned family member trying to advocate for my mother's care and well-being. As a result, I made the decision to move my mom to a new facility -- one where she is now thriving and no longer has to worry about inconsistent care or unexpected financial strain. I strongly urge anyone considering Belmont Village Sabre Springs to look very carefully at how they handle both care and communication. In our experience, they failed on both fronts.
