Great facility

A very competent and well run business is Grossmont Gardens. We checked out this assisted living home for our parents and were very impressed with the staff's professionalism and knowledge. The facilities are also quite clean, and the food is both varied and delicious. They were able to provide us detailed responses to all of the queries my family had. They are always kind, never irritable, and take care of all of our problems! Despite the fact that they were very content living at [removed], we consider ourselves fortunate to have found this house and that our parents appreciate it. That is all that matters.

tour review

Our family had an in person tour with Grossmont Gardens and it was nice. Nice area as well. Somewhat expensive for my sisters budget. But I did negotiate a lower price but then [community name removed] called and said they had an opening and my sister opted for that. But it was a nice place, nice rooms and friendly staff.

Grossmont Gardens was a great fit for my dad.

My family and loved one had a good experience with the community. The staff was caring. Everyone seemed to be friendly. We would suggest you check in with the staff often to make sure things are going well for your loved one. Overall, this is a community you should check out to see if it would be a good community for your loved one.

Come to the Garden

We picked this community, because of the location, cost, and services. They have a nice facility, nice staff, good caregivers, a great location, and average meals. They need improvement with communication-avalability to solve issues.

Our tour of Grossmont Gardens

We toured Grossmont Gardens and it was okay. The facility seemed a bit old and dark. The apartments were small. I think this facility needs a lot of TLC.

Positive experience

The room my loved one had was spacious & clean; trash is emptied daily. Friendly staff; knowledgeable & responsive to questions/concerns. I don't believe they have a minimum stay for respite; strictly month to month, unlike other places we looked into. My mom was there for two months and gave a 30-day notice at the end of the first month there.

This community has really good activities for the clients, they even take them on some field trips. The staff insisted we provide an electric Hoyer life, which costs more and was harder for us to locate. .

good community and beautiful grounds

Grossmont gardens is on beautiful grounds in la Mesa. Very kind staff. Building is slightly outdated but being worked on. Lots of effort in the food department. Safe. Caring. Responsive. Lots of activities. Prices went up a bit but still a better value than most private pay.

our families experience

The staff members gets 10 stars when it comes to their friendliness, they are so amazing. The nurses are great to and have been able to handle our loved ones care - if/when they need assistance with our loved one they will give us a call so we can assistance so they have great communication. Our loved one needs 100% care so to us the value is worth it and we would absolutely recommend Grossmont Gardens to other families.

Complete Satisfaction

The communication is stellar, everyone is welcoming and friendly, the staff extremely competent. The only "issue" is my loved one seems to have an occasional meal that they don't like. HOWEVER, there is an alternative menu they can choose from if they remember. I picked this community, because of the location, cleanliness, staff, and activities.

Would recommend - ask specific questions

We tried to hone in on every detail as best we could since we were new to senior living. We asked a lot of questions, which they answered, but they didn't provide insight otherwise. I would recommend being very diligent in asking questions to receive necessary information since they provide only basic information when you ask. Regarding the staff, the caregivers and maintenance were awesome. I thought management and accounting needed improvement.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
