Everything has been first class. The driver [name removed] is a gem. The staff is very attentive, friendly and sincerely caring. Only the food is a disappointment.

Our family's experience: affordable, comfortable independent living accommodations, friendly staff. Would recommend.

My Dad moved to Arcadia Place on [date removed]. So far, he is happy there. He has an upstairs 1-bed unit with a balcony that is the perfect size for him. Pros: - affordable rent that includes parking, utilities, housekeeping once a week, meals, and self-service laundry facilities - flexible month-to-month lease - Friendly staff & residents, down-to-earth homey feel - Garden club, park-like setting w/ rose garden in the back, and 1/4 mile walking path - regular activities and outings - smaller building, so it's easy to navigate - veteran discount = 1/2 off 1st month's rent - close proximity to grocery stores and cute downtown area with restaurants - close proximity to his wife's board & care - nice westerly breeze in the upstairs front-facing units w/ trees & birds - clean, bright unit in great condition + new A/C unit. Fresh paint, carpet & flooring. - main areas such as the lobby, dining room, and activity areas are nicely decorated and inviting. - coffee & popcorn in the lobby Cons: - the neighborhood is urban and there is a mobile home park across the street. We often see people on drugs walking or loitering on cross streets outside the building and occasionally hear people yelling/arguing. It's not advisable for residents to leave the property on foot. - he was told they had reserved a raised garden bed for him, but after waiting a month, we ended up buying one online and building on own. Other than this, the staff has been pretty responsive and helpful and they are allowing him to have 2 garden beds. ???? - older building. Carpet in high traffic areas tends to soil easily. Scuffs on walls in hallways.

Review for Arcadia Place

My father in law likes the food. The facility has been very kind and helpful even with all his difficulties. The staff is so sweet. The cleaning crew and dining service staff are very helpful. The facility offers care givers for extra $ but they have been a God send!!! We visit weekly and I've been told by others that you have to consistently visit places your loved one it at. So maybe that has helped him getting good care. It's not a perfect place but no place is

Love it

As we get older and still want to have fun, this is the place to be. There is a walking trail for your animal babies Lots of activities and parties, and yes, dancing. Unfortunately, I had to move out of state. But will very soon be back at Arcadia with my friends. See you real soon.

Don’t waste your time!!! Disgusting

Please just take this place off of your list! The carpets are filthy, doors on apartments are not put on properly and you could easily break in! Homeless and tweekers come in off the streets and use the laundry rooms. The GM is a very very rude little man…smile to your face and stab you behind your back. He is horrible to residents he doesn’t like!!! The supposedly assistant GM is very mean and bullies residents about their money. She is another one who isn’t nice to you unless you are one of her pets. This place is all about money and accepts people with dementia and mental illness when they have no business being here! There is no security and residents are by themselves at night, god forbid there was ever a fire and there are no security cameras. The management is [profanity removed]….trust me stay away!!! The dining room staff are the only friendly faces that work here…

Not Recommended... Living at this place will age you!!!

Was not a great experience if I am being honest... Everything is misleading. Communication is horrid. It is definitely not a place I would recommend as 55 "Independent Living." Repairs go unfinished. The list is endless frankly...

Stay far away

Please stay away from this facility, they are horrible and management needs to be fired!!!! The GM has been seen yelling at residents and bullying them along with assistant GM bullying too. They had a huge flood that came in from outside with contaminated water and many residents lost valuables while the facility said everything was fine. Items were not treated and contaminated were put back into apartments along with dirty sheets. The residents were bullied into paying their rent or else threatened to be evicted even tho apartments were uninhabitable. This is not a good place and many residents are wanting to leave because of the GM and assistant GM. Do not put a loved one in this place!!!

Not a place for Mom

At this time Arcadia Place can't rent apartments. It was recently flooded with human waste. All resident's were moved to a hotel, return date unknown. Vista water district is paying for ALL of the hotel and meal expenses. These elderly people have no access to their property, basically left with the clothes on their backs, and they can't go out and buy much needed clothes or toiletries, because Arcadia Place IS STILL CHARGING THEM RENT, for a place their not even living in and don't have access to. When I called and talked to the Director, he had no answers for me, and when I asked for Corporate's phone number, his response was LOOK IT UP. My recommendation for anyone looking for a place for Mom, is look else where. This staff has had no compassion for these elderly people.

Excellent Community

We are looking for a senior living community for a family member in the near future. We took a tour with the manager of Arcadia Place. What a pleasant surprise, after touring a few other senior living communities, where all we got was a sign here attitude. We talked to some of the residents along the tour and they had nothing but praise for the facility and staff. We were given a copy of the menu and saw the choices and variety. We were not pressured or rushed and every question that we had was answered completely. We felt very welcomed. When the time comes, Arcadia will be our choice.

"Working Out Well"

Being 55+ and independent living, you will meet a wide variety of tenants with a wide variety of conditions and needs. Staff is very friendly and helpful, except sometimes are too busy with administrative work, and tenant needs/hand holding seems to take second place in importance.

Review for Arcadia Place

Best fit for my brother in law. Needed to move him closer to family (us) and accessible health care. Friendly staff, good layout for dining and enjoying grounds, not huge or overwhelming property, onsite health services for very basic needs, chauffeur service useful, close to public transportation and retail. It may not be the right place for all of our friends and family, but very good match for brother in law.

There is always room for improvement to be sure. This is supposed to be independent living. picked this community because of the staff, and they had a move in special. But I felt a little mislead on certain issues.

warm and welcoming

I toured this community on behalf of my father who will be moving this summer to be closer to family. He doesn't want to be treated like a child and have to check in with people. I like he would have privacy in an apartment and be able to have his grandkids spend the night. It really fits the bill of taking the burden of day to day chores off his plate and will enable him to remain independent for years to come. And enjoy each day without worry!

Beautiful Place

I moved my mom to Arcadia Place about a month ago. We toured 3 other facilities in San Diego and Arcadia Place stood out from the first visit and I am very happy with the decision. It is a very warm environment and my mom is amazed daily by the fact that all of the employees know her name and are very kind! She was barely eating when she arrived and never hungry. The food is so incredible that she goes down to the dining room for 3 meals a day and comments often about how great the food is. This has made her much stronger in only one month. Her apartment is a nice size and the facility feels very homey. She is still getting acclimated to this change but once she wants to participate there are a variety of activities. I can’t recommend Arcadia Place enough and are very happy to know my mom is in a safe and loving environment.
