Eagles Nest Retirement Ranch is a wonderful facility for the elderly. The care and cleanliness are…read moresuperb. Owner, Maria Richly personally supervises her residents care as she is on premise every day. My mother was a resident at Eagles Nest Retirement Ranch for almost 2 years. During that time she was fed home made food and was really shown a lot of love by the staff. Last year Mom turned 105 years old. Yes, 105 is not a misprint. Maria put together a party for my mom which I will never forget. If you are looking for a truly superior environment for your loved one to spend their remaining years, this is as good as it gets.

She needed to…read morebe hoisted from one spot to another or to her wheelchair, and they were always patient with her needs. The care there was always excellent and she was always content. The amazing views, even from her small, but very comfortable private room, were spectacular, and with gracious covered patios on three sides of the home, she spent a great deal of time out in the fresh air, watching all the birds that flocked to the many bird feeders, enjoying the vast vistas (you can see for 20 miles in every direction), and doing activities on the large outdoor table. Maria and her staff always celebrated birthdays and holidays with lots of fanfare, and my mom received personal attention, like getting her nails painted or makeup done. Visiting her there was always comfortable and inviting. We were very lucky to find such a loving and beautiful place for my mother, once we could no longer care for her ourselves.

100% RECOMMEND If…read moreyou are looking for Hospice care for a loved one, I highly recommend Apreva. My family needed Hospice carer for my mother and we had no idea how the process worked and needed to rely on someone to explain to us about Hospice and what it entailed. This is a very stressful decision to make for our loved one, but Apreva quickly eased our concerns and uncertainty. From the first contact on the phone to the last contact I can't say enough about the incredible team that cared for my mom. Dr Danque was professional, compassionate and was always available when needed. Initially Dr. Danque came to the house and explained the process and what to expect. She answered all our questions and we stayed until all our questions were answered and we never felt she was in a hurry. RN Kaylyn is an absolute ANGEL! She was the main RN caregiver for my mom for almost a year. Kaylyn was available for my 80 year old Dad who was by my mom's side the entire time. He would contact Kaylyn any time he had a question or concern about my mom. As my mom declined, her medications needed to be changed due to increased pain and phycological issues and Kaylyn was always there to help treat my mom and was a personal sounding board for my dad. Kaylyn has become a member of our family!! Kaylyn's compassion, empathy and knowledge made a difficult time on our lives much better. Knowing if we had a question we could contact Kaylyn was such a relief. And if Kaylyn was not available, Apreva is available 24 hours. There were several times we needed help late at night and during weekends and Apreva promptly sent nurses and/or Doctors to our home. The entire Apreva Hospice provided outstanding service and care to my mom and our family. Apreva offers many services and their help does not end after your loved one passes. They are still there to offer assistance like grief counseling, etc. We NEVER had a problem with supplies needed or medications as others claim in their reviews. We always had supplies needed. ie disposable absorbent pads etc. And if we ever needed something, RN Kaylyn would make sure we would get more. SINCERELY THANK YOU RN Kaylyn!!!!

Pat was so kind and helpful coordinating my dad's transition from the hospital to my home. Katie, and the team of RN's, ensured we were prepared and educated to meet his needs in his final days.

The owner and staff are marvelous. She gets lots of personal attention as it's a smaller facility. There's a lot of activity going on for a 99 year old. They had a musician come last week, and she was up dancing( w help of course). She needs assistance to walk anywhere, and they give it to her. She needs help in the bathroom and gets showers and is clean. She likes the food, it is fresh, prepared well, and full of natural and organic options. She loves it. It is very clean, and a very positive, loving environment. My wife and I highly recommend it for a loved one needing care and attention.

Comfort and Peace Hospice was recommended to me by an ICU nurse at Scripps Encinitas when my mom…read morewas being discharged from 7 days of intensive care she barely survived. My mom had previously been on hospice care with a different company and Comfort and Peace is head and shoulders superior to my previous experience. First of all, the speed of their responses and preparation for her discharge (over the holidays no less) was epic. I am so grateful for not only their responsiveness to us, but also the care and time they took to really get it right! They even helped me with facility placement recommendations Each function has been consistently responsive and communicative, as well. Nurse, social worker, etc. The team has directly contributed to my ability as a caregiver to function and deal with a difficult situation. No hesitation whatsoever giving my highest recommendation here

Silverado Memory Care Escondido is AMAZING!! There is no better place…read more A family friend that was on his own was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. We began a very long journey down a path we had no experience in. We first moved him into assisted living facilities. He was in assisted living for 2 months and they said he needed to go to memory care. The assisted living place he was in was nice so we moved him into their memory care. Needless to say the memory care was not treating him well. We noticed he felt very agitated and at this point in his disease he was nonverbal so he could not tell us what was wrong. He was a wonderer would walk all the time being it was a small area he kept trying to escape. We started noticing how others were being cared for and knew we had to get him out of there and find a place where he would be well cared for and would be happy. We researched and made a list of highly rated memory care facilities and we began a 2 week tour of many memory care facilities in Escondido, Vista and Rancho Bernardo. We had a list of things we were looking for to find to right facility. 1. Resident to staff ratio by California law it's a max of 5 to 1 we both agreed was way too many for even a highly trained nurse. 2. The attitude of the staff towards the residents 3. Affordability must stay on his budget 4. Cleanliness of the facility. How does it smell? Are the residents clean? 5. Do the residents look happy, is there activities for them to do. 6. Distance from our house being we will be visiting regularly. 7. Reading reviews on line on many different sources As the tours went on we came to understand there is allot of large companies that own multiple facilities and are bought and sold sometimes yearly. It is big business and with that profits can easily become the priority over patient care. You could tell corners were cut, understaffed, and untrained. High employee turnover is a major red flag. Because Silverado had the highest price they were the last one we toured mostly out of curiosity. As soon as we walked in the front door we could tell it was different. Every business has a culture and you feel it when you enter. Very welcoming staff. Many of the staff members have been there over 20 years. If you retain good people it means they are happy and will go the extra mile for the residents. Silverado is clean, organized, daily managers meeting as a former business owner I know how important this is. The lowest resident to caregiver ratio. All others were 5 to 1 California maximum. He liked to walk all the time. He was able to walk all over the facility and walk around outside in the beautiful gardens with paths, setting areas, fruit tree. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The food is really good and presented to the residents like they were going to a very nice restaurant to eat. Fast forward over a year later and hundreds of visits, nothing has changed. Same staff, same clean caring place. And a feeling when you leave from a visit every time that we made the right choice on his care.

This is my review and a response to Ruth M. (Anne)'s review…read more My mother received care with Ardent for 6 months. I was her primary caregiver. Nurses: Megan, Emily, Michael, and Chaplain Rob, Social Worker Barbara, and NA Joana are my earthly angels. They have been available on a moment's notice, and they have carried me on their shoulders keeping me going when I didn't know what I was doing, if I could even do it, and when I was ready to quit because I felt like I was failing. With the utmost compassion and professionalism, they tailored Mom's care to her witty, funny, joking, and often times stubborn personality. Ruth M. (Anne), my aunt, as well as another aunt and an uncle had arrived the previous day. When the nurse and NA arrived together, there were already several people in the room. My mother, who just recently lost a good deal of cognitive function and was near the end of her life, woke up and was startled asking, "What's happening?" Confusion ensued with people talking to her and others asking the Ardent staff questions at the same time. And, then, of course, Mom didn't want any body to touch her. Ruth M. (Anne)'s review was based on ONLY this one visit, not on Ardent's long time devotion to the care for my mother and support to me, the primary caregiver. When my mom passed, yesterday, Michael was very comforting. He also made all the necessary phone calls and completed the final paperwork. I and my mom will be eternally grateful for Ardent.
