    My parents became residents at Belmont Village Cardiff in 2021. My mother spent her final months in…read moreMemory Care, and my father remained there until his passing in June 2026. Looking back, our family could not be more grateful for the care, compassion, and community they experienced. What sets Belmont apart is that it feels like a home, not a facility. From the front desk staff to the restaurant team, caregivers, nurses, and leadership, there is a genuine sense of warmth, joy, and respect that extends to residents and their families. My father often told us how grateful he was to live there and always referred to Belmont as "home." The staff truly knew and cared about my parents as individuals. Whether it was remembering my dad's favorite meals, supporting his faith, keeping him engaged through activities and Circle of Friends, or providing comfort and dignity during the final chapter of his life, their kindness was evident every day. Our father lived nearly five years after losing our mother and continued to enjoy a rich, meaningful life because of the exceptional care and community Belmont provided. Knowing he was safe, valued, and genuinely cared for brought our family tremendous peace. Entrusting your parents' care to others is one of life's hardest decisions. Belmont Village Cardiff exceeded every expectation. We will always be grateful for the love, dignity, and support they gave our parents and our family.

    Belmont Village Senior Living Cardiff is a wonderful place for seniors to call home. The facility…read moreitself is beautiful and every corner feels inviting. Therese and staff are so friendly, compassionate, and attentive. I highly recommend Belmont Village Senior Living to anyone seeking a beautiful, supportive, and loving senior living community. This is a place where care, comfort, and companionship are top priorities.

At 99 years of age It has been beyond an upsetting time watching and caring for our loved one during their transition. Everything looked nice, nice amenities and programs for residents to engage in. So they sent Beatriz out first thing next morning without even calling me or arranging a meeting with me for an assessment of my mother at Torrey Pines Senior living... Things seem ok, and we are talking about what life might be like for my mother at La Vida....she them informs me that caregivers cannot eat in the cafe with residents..because of the "look".... they just want it to appear like no one has any health issues I guess. Dealbreaker.... I will not have my mother's caregiver made to sit off to the side of the dining area like a second hand person...like an underling. Who is going to be upset if a patron has some help with them? La Vida should post their severe restrictions upfront so people in a very difficult time don't waste their time. What a HUGE disappointment! BAD BUSINESS!

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.

Their restaurant's food, service, and cleanliness condition is bad. Dishes pileup, and food is all over floor. There has been times that it has taken 20 mins for someone to take one's order. Certain items are not served after 9:30, there has been instances where we have arrived at 9:15 and by the time our order was taken it was past 9:30 and therefore we were denied. Severs/waiters works as a server, busboys, and at time janitors (mopping and sweeping ). Dining area floor is sticky as one walk over it.

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.

During this time, there were two executive directors who came and went. The more recent one lasted over 2.5 years. She was a pathological liar who stopped showing up to work on a regular basis about half way into her tenure. Everybody she hired was either related to her or a friend of hers, so there was no accountability. Residents were regularly neglected, physically as well as emotionally. I informed her boss about it in January '24, and her boss' boss (!) in October '24, but she lasted all the way through December '24. In between January '24 and October '24, when my mom left, there were numerous phone calls, Zoom meetings, and in person meetings with the Executive director's boss and other concerned family members. We were always promised that things will improve, but they never did. It's worth noting that the place is particularly awful for wheelchair bound residents, as I found out during my mom's last 5 weeks there. Nobody ever wheels them around the beautiful garden, as grossly misrepresented in the video on the main page of the Summerfield website. If they're lucky, they will be taken to the activity room, but often they are just left behind. Many families hire a private caregiver for their loved ones in Summerfield, but even those have all left in disgust. As the saying goes, "a fish rots from the head down". ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING PLACING YOUR LOVED ONE IN SUMMERFIELD: Be aware that many of the reviews are written by Summerfield Employees and folks who just came in for a visit.

    I looked at several places in San Diego area before choosing Summerfield as a new home for my mom,…read morewho has both Alzheimer's and cancer. She has been here since August of 2023 and our family has been very pleased with her care. The facility is relatively small, secure (locking gates and door to public areas), and I am not worried at all about Mom wandering out. The staff is very loving, caring, and attentive to mom's needs. I've also had the pleasure to dine with her several times and the food is always very very good! The facilities are clean and well maintained, and there is a lovely activities room and backyard/patio area. I can't say enough about how kind and accommodating the staff and management have been. I have an uncle who spent a lot of time with her daily, into the evenings, and he also raved about how wonderful my mom is cared for. As her care and medical needs have increased, we recently brought in hospice. They also commented on how much the med tech knows about my mom, and were impressed. Hospice and Summerfield are now working together to make the rest of mom's days as comfortable as possible. Is it perfect? No assisted living facility is ever perfect. But when there are issues (room needs cleaning, for example) it has always been addressed quickly. The staff is prompt at calling me when there is an issue with mom. The med techs and caregivers usually know off the top of their heads, what kind of day my mom is having. If there's been a shift change, whomever I ask always looks up the med tech notes and lets me know how she's been that day. We have many family members visit Mom, and they are always welcomed and never rushed out or made to feel obtrusive or in the way. In fact, lots of love and visits are strongly encouraged, and the staff is always so accommodating! There are many different types of facilities in San Diego area, and I recommend that Summerfield be on your list to check out if you have the need for memory care assisted living for a loved one. They are very competitively priced, and with the wonderful care, good food, activities, and kind people, this place is definitely worth a look.
