    Kind professional care, stunning views

    I placed my loved one at the La Jolla home and couldn't be happier. The caregivers and staff (Gus and Jenn included) are kind, consistent, professional and go above and beyond - attentive to wishes, ADLs, meals and social needs. The licensed homes are spotless, beautifully maintained with stunning views, great activities and smooth, responsive communication; I highly recommend them.

    About La Jolla Senior Care Homes

    La Jolla Senior Care Homes gives older adults a quiet, comfortable place to live with extra help if they need it, and you'll find three homes in La Jolla-Casa Fiesta on Avenida Fiesta, La Jolla Vista on Desert View Drive, and Casa Pacifica on Pacifica Drive-each with its own peaceful rooms, classic furnishings, and relaxing gardens with walking paths, where only up to six residents live together so everything feels calm and close-knit, not crowded. Seniors here choose between private or semi-private rooms with wheelchair-accessible showers, and the staff-three caregivers for every six residents-stay on hand around the clock for help with dressing, bathing, medicine, or sudden health needs, and people who can't walk or need incontinence care also get close attention.

    Meals are important at La Jolla Senior Care Homes, so cooks prepare nutritious foods using good ingredients, offering kosher and vegetarian choices too, and residents often look forward to their next meal because the food gets high marks from people who live there. The care team, called compassionate and attentive by families, helps seniors with memory problems like Alzheimer's and dementia by giving them special activities and safe, secure places to call home, plus there's high acuity and hospice care provided for those who need a greater level of medical help.

    Each home stays clean, with 'immaculate' often used to describe the rooms and common areas, and everyone has a chance to join in on daily planned activities, movie nights, or community events that bring residents and staff together in a friendly, cheerful way, not forced or phony. Seniors can spend time inside or enjoy flower gardens and quiet outdoor sitting areas when the weather's nice, and transportation is available for errands or doctor visits. The homes offer respite stays so caregivers can take a needed break, which also lets new residents try out the environment without rushing into anything.

    La Jolla Senior Care Homes is part of Northstar Senior Living, which means there's a commitment to skilled, long-term care, assisted living, dementia care, and even some independent living support, and the rooms come in different prices, with an average reported cost around $10,400, depending on the setup and care level. The community keeps close to six people per home so caregivers can focus on each person's needs, and reviewers note the relaxing, home-like setting and genuine involvement from owners, with a steady 4.5 out of 5 star rating based on verified reviews. The staff speak English, and the homes make safety and comfort a top concern for everyone, keeping care tailored and the environment peaceful.
