Community Reviews
Nice Location!!
reviewed on: 08/28/2017 by AnonymousI have no complaints of how things had went during my tour of this community. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions I had for them in detail. I liked the open floor plan and the variety of menu options as well as activities they had for the resident. The location was easy to access and had nice surroundings. It was just no the right fit for my mother in the end decision.
Great Activities Like Yoga and Shopping Trips
reviewed on: 06/07/2016 by AnonymousI'am very happy knowing my mother is pleased with this community. They have been very welcoming and helpful, the staff is great. The community is well-kept, they do a good job of keeping everything nice and clean. She is trying many activities they offer like shopping trips, and yoga classes. The food is good, but she would like more of a selection to choose from. They are caring for her very well and I would recommend it.
Not enough care from staff...
reviewed on: 06/06/2017 by AnonymousEverything went fairly okay at Grossmont Gardens. I do feel like I put my loved one in the wrong place due to the level of care that he requires, as the staff were not quite able to provide adequate care for him.
Gorgeous scenery!
reviewed on: 05/04/2017 by AnonymousThe grounds here are absolutely beautiful.Everything is currently in bloom. They offer a fenced in pool and several fruit trees.My mother's room is nicely sized and she has her own patio on the first floor. Grossmont was the first community we looked at and it seemed to be the one that offered the most of what we were looking for.
Sad but True
reviewed on: 02/09/2019 by Brad PhillipsYes our mother was there 4 years until while being pushed in a wheel chair in her room put her feet down and went head first to the floor out of the wheel chair. I couldn't believe the care giver could not grab her, how fast can you go in a small room? Any way huge lump on her head, next day throwing up, then went into a coma and died 11 days later at a hospice house. Mom had some dementia but was in good health, and was on no medications. perfect blood pressure. Never received any report on the accident. Not even a sympathy card. They raised her monthly fees $250.00 a month every year, so get a long term price at signing, because they will raise it every year. Where ever your loved one is, you must show up and be her advocate!! We are checking into all avenues of recourse so this never happens to anyone else.
