Community Reviews
Good Community
reviewed on: 07/22/2013 by Satisfied CustomerGrossmont Gardens is a very good community. It is clean and well maintained. We chose this community because of Natalie from A Place for Mom she put us in tune with it. When we toured it we liked the community but ended up backing out of selecting one. A couple of months later our loved decided they wanted to move into Grossmont Gardens.
Expectation unmet.
reviewed on: 09/11/2015 by Carolyn ChianeseI was very impressed with the campus, gardens and facilities. Mom was entered at a level 3 out of 4 care and I was given a list of care that would come with the plan, however, after visiting my mother nightly, I have not had my expectations met. In particular, they missed 1 our of two showers promised and are not changing/checking her diaper 3 x a day. When I addressed the nurse, staff and director, I was told "mother" did not deem these needs necessary at the time. Guess What, she is in early dementia and is going to say, "I don't need my diaper changed". The care givers should disregard and simply tell her that "this is what we are doing". The escorts to dinning have ceased and I just hope her monthly cost will come down in light of this.
Wonderful
reviewed on: 10/21/2013 by Happy CustomerThey're wonderful! All the people that I came into contact with and everyone that helped me set up the move were all wonderful. They were the nicest people in the world.
Nice Establishment
reviewed on: 09/12/2017 by AnonymousGrossmont Gardens is a nice older establishment. It was clean and well-kept. The staff was friendly and gave a nice tour of the facility. We chose another community that was a better fit for our loved one's needs.
Outstandingly Professional Care
reviewed on: 11/12/2018 by CarolWe are continually impressed with the professionalism and care of the nursing station staff. They are on top of every detail of my parents' care, and there is a lot to monitor. I get immediate calls if anything is amiss. Very kind people there!
