Friendly people at office and facilities. We visited one of the houses with several people in there and a person caring for them, who was guiding a time for fun and exercise. We liked the gardens, the general atmosphere and concept of home living.

Warm and welcoming

Overall it's a very warm and welcoming environment, staff is friendly and attentive. Clean and safe space. Food is a lot of frozen/heated pizza etc. so would like to see fresher. Would like more activities too, but realize memory care residents aren't always receptive/active.

We have been very pleased so far with Poway Gardens and the care that they are providing for my mother. All of the facilities I looked at prior to her going there were expensive, as is Poway Gardens, but Poway Gardens was more reasonable than all of the others. The staff is very friendly and competent. They are hard workers and are experienced and knowledgeable working with this often challenging population. Many have been there for a long time. Communication with them is excellent. Administrative staff is easy to …

BEWARE

My mother was at this facility for 8 years. The caregivers are wonderful, but management, especially the Director is awful. They are under staffed and the employees are spread thin trying to cover for each other. I know this first hand because I was there almost everyday for those 8 years. The residents and staff have become part of our family, my 3 granddaughters grew up in that house and we have cherished the time we've spent there. My mother passed away 3 days ago, and 10 HOURS after she passed I received a ph…

Great place for respite stay

The location is very unique with gardens and onsite fresh food. Not the typical modern apartment or hotel-like facility. Like an inn vs. chain hotel. Allowance for 2-week minimum stay instead of 4.
