Life Care Center of Escondido

My father-​in-​law spent a week in the facility after back surgery. My wife and I visited for extended periods daily and got to meet the variety of staff members from the administrators to the nurses to the physical therapists to the occupational therapists who visited his home to make sure it was set up properly for his return. All of them were professional and caring making for a good experience. I also liked that the facility was in good condition and would recommend this business for others who may need skilled nursing.

Had to take my dad in for rehabilitation, i went of the list that palomar hospital gave me, visited 4 places in escondido for care centers and this was the cleanest of them all and saw their reviews and it had 4 starts; It’s not the newest facility but their staff has been great so far. Between our family we tried and go visit him every day and he seems to be happy their. No complaints and he really likes the food. only 4 stars cause of a nurse that wouldn’t even say good morning when to us the family when she went to check up on my dad. all and all of the places we saw this was the best.
The big one for me is they provide transportation to his doctor’s appointment with their wheelchair access buz.

I recently had a friend stay here for a few weeks after a fall. She is an elderly lady who is also blind. She said that she found the staff to be very good.
She is an extremely demanding woman so if she says that then they have to be doing a good job
I think the thing about any of these places is that people are much mre likely to write a bad review about a negative experience than a good one. I’m sure staff changes fairly often. My advice would be to go check it out. Take a tour.
I was very clean and I was really impressed with her room.
But again, go check it out for yourself!

Being a nurse and having gone thru nursing school and clinicals, Ive had experiences with both great SNFs and downright just «this place is still approved to be running?!?» establishments.
The sad day came when it was time to consider putting my grandma in a nursing home. My mom, who is also a nurse, researched and researched and finally found this place in Escondio. But before takin the plunge and puttin her in, we both visited the place and immediately (remember Ive been to several SNFs) fell inlove with the place.
ITS CLEAN AND DOESNT HAVE THE TYPICAL NURSING HOME SMELL that bombards your nostrils when you step foot into the place. The staff are welcoming, genuinely kind and actually look like they want to work there. Their activities and outings are appropriate for their residents and OVERALL were very happy with this place. Quite honestly, if it werent for the commute I wouldnt mind working here– get to work at a great facility and be with my grandma.
Why didnt I give it 5 stars? Well for one, the commute is a bit far from MiraMesa and because Ive been to more ritzy SNFs as well and Im only human, I cant help but compare those other ritzy SNFs to this one.
But then again, its just my opinion.
