Discover retirement living in the Rancho San Diego, CA Area at La Vida Real

The assisted living area was so pleasant, spacious, organized, inviting, & clean. I could definitely see my parents enjoying living at LVR and thriving in ways we are able to accomplish at home.

Just preparing for the time we need to more for a simpler life with more care

We are way too young for this. Most of the residents are in their 80’s and the programs are really catering to people who Have or soon will have mobility issues. Also we were a little disappointed that the presentation was all about the food and really didn’t highlight all of the other things at the facility. Because we were there for over a day we had our own opportunity to explore so we felt like we weren’t short changed in this regard

Ashley has been awesome to work with! She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and has made sure to follow up and provide answers to all of our family's questions as we continue to weigh our options for my grandmother's care. One thing I also have really appreciated is that Ashley is not a pushy sales person, simply trying to sell us on your community. I have been in contact with the sales team at Westmont in La Mesa and have felt a bit turned off by their sales department. We have really felt like Ashley has been working in partnership with our family to find the best fit for our loved one. This has definitely set your community apart from others we have looked at. :)

Note that Ashley Zendejas was the associate we met with, her name was not in the list of this survey to select.

always enjoyed visits before with Jenna Ballard. On this visit, the needs of my mother are uncertain. Appreciate knowing our options.

The associate that assisted me was Kennia Nguyen and her name did not appear for me to check. I understand that she’s new. Kennia was very professional and did an excellent job in her presentation. She was very personable and I felt that she was concerned about me and my mother’s situation. She even sent me a video next day of another unit that became available for me to review. Unfortunately, it was determined that the best place for my mom is her current situation. La Vida Real is first class and you have a “real gem” in Kennia!

We received a lot of information and toured several apartments thus giving us a clear picture of what is available.

Jenna had a complete understanding of the benefits of the La Vida Real assisted living setting. The tour was impressive as was the openness of the facility. I hope my father decides to pick this one.

This is a quality property and all personnel we met were engaging and of high calibre. Our reservations are mostly the financial commitment as this property is about $1,220-2400 more monthly than comparable at another location we like. Again very high quality property and we won't discount it over price.

Jenna is AMAZING. It’s not often when you come across someone who is the full package. Keep her happy so she stays with your corporation forever.

I want thank Jenna for the amount of time and effort she spent with me and my wife answering all our questions and concerns and for the delicious lunch she offered us.

The first time I visited LaVida Real 6 years ago the sales rep was not interested in helping me at all. It seemed all that she cared about was rushing me out of her office. This visit was completely different and I felt 'heard'. Very few people really listen these days and I felt so impressed that Jenna actually listened to what was important to me and helped to steer me in the direction to meet my goals.

fell in love with your wonderful place!

Overall my experience at La Vida Real was very positive. I was very impressed with the facility. Honestly, I felt I was touring a 5 star resort.

Beautiful community!

I found guest parking a big problem. I thought that it was a Gated Community. The lunch was delicious, and it is truly a beautiful place. I have just started my search.

Jenna did a great job of giving us an overview

When we were looking for a facility for my parents in the East County, we found La Vida Real. From meeting with Jenna and Bonnie they were very knowledgeable about the options for them. It was comforting to know that mom and dad could stay here together for the rest of their lives and not have to move apartments if one needs more care. All the care would be done in the same apartment. Cristi, the Assited Living Director, assessed them and let us know exactly what their care would be. I was also very impressed by the length of employment of the staff and how many have been there since the beginning. So happy we made this choice.

Bonny was extremely knowledgeable and took extra time with us. We were waiting for our 23 year old son to meet us there after work. He ran I to some traffic making me anxious,Bonny was very understanding and put me at ease, our son was very glad we waited for him.

more cost than I have at Lantern Crest.

Excellent tour and lunch provided.

Excellent tour and lunch provided.

Ms. Hay did an outstanding job of presenting this beautiful and comprehension senior community to me and my friend. Also every staff member we met was so gracious and accommodating. We were treated to lunch and my goodness, I wish I could go there daily and pay to have their delicious food. We were both very impressed and as of this day La Vida Real is number one on my list for retirement communities when the time comes. Claudia Hayes

Met beyond expectations!

This visit was to show some of my daughters a place I am strongly considering as a retirement location.....

We were very impressed and will consider following up on getting further information from Jenna. However, we are still independent and don't intend to make a decision about moving in just yet.

Bonnie Hay was absolutely fantastic!

Mother-in-law lived there for 5 years about 10 years ago. Loved the place.

La Vida Real is a beautiful community. The staff and residents were happy, friendly and courteous. I had a fantastic visit and I’m hoping my father will feel the same way. I hope to be moving him in soon!!!!

It's everything we'd hope for in a retirement community. I like the accommodation made for couples with different needs. We're some time away (about a year, probably) from making a firm decision.

Current residents would like additional van drivers on staff.

Beautiful property! Definitely at the top tier of our searches. Jenna was awesome! Very knowledgeable and welcoming. Great tour! Lunch was delicious too!

Jenna was extremely professional and very knowledgeable of all aspects of your facility. She was also very knowledgeable of the other facilities I have visited recently.
