I keep moving more things into this lovely place. The people are very friendly, both the residence and the staff. This facility is clean. My view is spectacular. If I had any complaints, it would be that I am living here in independent living and most of the residents are older andin assisted living. The food is mostly good. Breakfast is always. Excellent. Lunch is usually good. Dinner is mostly good, but there have been a few that were not so good.

Review for Laguna Estates

Honestly, it's like a three out of five. Food is just OK. They left my grandma in her pajamas until after lunch on the first day because that's when they could shower her and she didn't wanna go down to breakfast in the morning so they didn't help her get changed. The carpet didn't look new. The cabinets don't close all the way in the kitchen and bathrooms, and our rickety, not updated at all. There is little to no space in the kitchen. Oh hi thank you when my grandmother was at the skilled nursing facility they would not arrange for her to have transportation from there to get her to the assisted living, even though it is within their 10 minute radius. It ultimately was my grandpa's choice, but if it were up to me, this is not the place I would have chosen for my grandparents. My grandfather seems to be very happy there, but I was less than impressed considering how expensive these facilities are and the community fee that they have to pay compared to how outdated it is, the included radius, and how underwhelming the staff are. Also, it would be virtually impossible for an older person to navigate getting in and out of the elevators with the valet carts that they provide when moving in. I had to physically bend down and scoot the carts around corners and edges just to get from outside to the elevator room and then again in and out of the Small elevator.

Review for Laguna Estates Senior Living

You must be involved because not all Care staff are trained well and monitored for individual resident's needs, as well as it is a highly transient position so there is a regular turn-over of staff necessitating continued training and moderating training. Currently, the majority of Care staff are mature, but the younger ones often show they are going through the motions and are not always as conscientious. For approx. [fee removed] a month I do not feel we get the value unless I am there regularly to insure we do.

Flexible and in our price range

The location was nice, they were easy to work with and were flexible. We were needing a temporary respite stay, so it was a little out of the typical placements so we appreciated their flexibility as other places would not offer that type of arrangement. And good pricing helped!

Laguna Estates - 5 star review

I would let others looking know that they are kindly tolerant of belligerent, disruptive and confrontational residents, of which my mother was one! The facility is very clean and the staff are extremely friendly! Particularly the manager. Price was reasonable as well.

Our families experience

All 5, they are absolutely wonderful and my Dad is very happy. I like that it's small enough that everyone knows everyone. All the staff is involved in care, very easy to contact and overall cares for their residents. Yes I would recommend them to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Compassionate and caring staff

The on-site staff at Laguna was very helpful and caring overall and they dealt with the issues and concerns I had quickly and efficiently. Laguna was our only experience in Assisted Living, so we can't compare it to any other facility. However, compared to skilled nursing and long term care, it's above and beyond!

A nice community with time management issues

The biggest problem we have had so far with Laguna Estates Senior Living is that it takes the escorts too long to get to our loved ones room to take her anywhere. She says she has waiting 30-60 minutes at times.

very nice place

Laguna Estates Senior Living was suggested to us, and while my father is already dwelling at [removed], we propose some other relatives here. Residents may take short walks or drive to attractive antique stores, miles of shoreline, local cafes, and a moderate environment all year. Traveling in and around Carlsbad is simple due to the community's handy location. Laguna Estates Senior Living, located in The Village by the Sea, residents enjoy living in a sun-filled neighborhood near beautiful beaches, which is what I truly appreciate about it. In Carlsbad, California, the multi-level residential complex provides care services such as assisted living and memory care.

Mom’s final home

I can’t commend Laguna Estates enough. They moved in my mom at the peak of Covid [date removed] and they made her feel so welcome. The entire staff has been so friendly and attentive. My mom passed this last Tuesday and everyone has been incredible. Compassionate and loving. I couldn’t ask anything more from them as caregivers. [name removed] is awesome too, but the entire staff is amazing. I highly recommend

Happy with our choice

I ended up going to 12 different care facilities before choosing Laguna. It was just the overall feel and cost comparison that made Laguna the one I went with. Going into assisted living for the first time has been an eye opener for me and my Mom, and we continue to have a lot of questions and concerns as we go. The staff at Laguna Estates takes the time to listen and address whatever questions/concerns we have without getting defensive. They seem to genuinely care for the residents and they want them to be happy there.

Laguna Estates review

Our loved one will be moving in shortly and it has already been a night and day experience compared to our loved ones previous community. The staff members have been great, and there is a community pool where our loved one can go at any time to use it, and he has a nicer bigger apartment with a patio. So we feel we will be getting our money's worth since it is cheaper then the previous community but they offer much more.

Highly recommend

They have great activities. It was one of the reasons we chose this facility. The value for the money was the best that we saw, and we saw many different facilities. Even though it is 2.5 miles away from the ocean, it is on a bigger campus than the others we saw. There is a nice area surrounding it. They also have an outside pool and jacuzzi. There is a weight room on campus too. I would absolutely recommend Laguna Estates to others, they really worked with me in the beginning as well and I appreciated it.

Definitely recommend

My mom is a tough case, they've been very patient and kind. What is outstanding is the involvement of [name removed], the manager- I believe he's the executive director. He actually spends time with my mom during her occasional spin-outs and is great at talking her off the ledge so to speak. That's typically done only by nurses, but he goes above and beyond....regularly.

Would Not Recommend

They were very welcoming until they received our money. Once the money was received to move into the apartment, they were very unaccommodating and the lady which we were dealing with Pat for the admissions process was just downright rude after they got the money. Very disappointing. We've had numerous issues since my loved one moved in there all relating to care and money. I would not recommend this place to anyone whose family member is not fully competent and quick-witted.
