Everest at Oceanside

Come experience a relaxing retirement at this beachside community. Soak in the California sun, walk the historic pier, or explore the nearby shops. The Tuscan-style community offers a comfortable, luxurious environment with resort-like amenities and exceptional services. Beautiful palm trees and charming fountains adorn the courtyard, providing a serene atmosphere to stroll or kick back.

Community Amenities and Services

To help residents lead fulfilling lifestyles built around their pleasures and hobbies, the incredible activities calendar is catered to their interests. From fitness classes and game nights to TED talks and cooking classes, the community is dedicated to keeping residents active and engaged in every way. With the ever-changing calendar, the only complaint seems to be that residents don’t have enough time to partake in each activity! Residents can also enjoy celebrating holidays, birthdays, and even national food days.

To enable residents to spend more time on what matters to them, daily chores and caretaking are taken care of. Housekeeping and on-site maintenance are provided, so residents can live worry-free.

A great place for seniors where everyone knows your name

Very friendly people. My dad passed away there, and the support and kindness we felt was amazing. I know some of the admin staff have changed there since my dad passed, so idk how they are now.

Not for those needing more care

My mom had issues with some of the staff. She even had one very mean woman who forced her to do things and it took us awhile to figure out who it was. The communication between the staff was awful. I finally hung up a whiteboard in her room to leave notes so they all knew. The med techs were the best and there was a handful of staff who treating her very well. I would only recommend it to someone who doesn't need a lot of assistance.

Would not recommend.

We were only there 2 weeks. My husband has Alzheimer's and at that time he needed to wear a catheter and they did not know how to take care of him. It turned out to be a very bad experience

The Webb's exploration.

We would have to give Everest at Oceanside a 5 for all so far. They have great communication with me for all needs and care and I would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

My loved one is currently a resident at Everest at Oceanside and his experience has been great so far! This facility is a great place for seniors that can live independently. Based on our experience, I would recommend this facility to others.

Very supportive environment

My father has lived in the facility for 12+ years and has been treated with the utmost respect and kindness. The team worked with me, the daughter, from the beginning when he entered Independence living, then onto Assisted Living, and soon to be in their memory care. I feel blessed to be part of the overall family. The chef prepares terrific meals with lots of options, the cleaning staff are friendly and kind, and the nursing staff are excellent and professional. Everest has taken very good care of my father and I applaud them for dedication and making everyone feel welcomed.

My review

Management and staff are very friendly and open to suggestions. Food has changed and is very good most of the time. New management and chef make it a good experience and a good choice. Also good social director adds more activities recently. I'm very happy I chose this place and expect to stay here until I turn 100 plus in 10 years. I love my apartment with nice windows, lots of sunlight and view looking down on busy traffic that I don't have to deal with and a hillside with skyline above.

Everest, worth it in every way

It is fairly close to our house. The cost is good. Friendly smiling employees. Residents have said good things to us about Everest. And the facilities do not smell badly like some places do. Cleanliness is very important. And the employees really seem to care about the residents.

Excellent experience!

The staff at Everest at Oceanside are extremely friendly and go out of their way to get to know all of the new residents and their needs. Several of them have been with the community for many years, and it shows. The quality of the meals is very good. The move in process was seamless and went very well. Overall, this is an exceptional community and we are very happy. I would highly recommend this community to anyone else who is interested.

Downhill since sold December 2022

Any reviews prior to December 2022 should be taken with a grain of salt. This is not the same place. We were quite happy with assisted living and then memory care but after they sold the care went way downhill and they did not live up to their care contract. Unknown to us, bathing went from twice per week to maybe twice in a month. My parent was not receiving medications as ordered by the doctor. At one point it seemed half the residents had visible bruises. Activities have also been cut. The devoted staff seemed to try their best but told us how short-staffed they are still in 2023. Management refuses to follow-up in a timely manner.

Gone Downhill

Unfortunately, this was a wonderful place when it was Merrill Gardens but since it was sold and became Everest, the care that my loved one has received has gone down hill. Promises made about minimal changes haven't been kept. I have read some previous recent reviews with the same experience. I am concerned that my loved one is not receiving the same level of care as in the past. Very disappointing and very concerned.

Review for Everest at Oceanside

My friend says it's very friendly and she LOVES the meals--the variety and the taste.She exclaims over how much she likes it. She is mainly interested in arts and crafts and recently told me they advertised painting with acrylic paints but it was watercolors again; they didn't do what they advertised.

Everest at Oceanside could hire more people and actually do what the sales people promises....they need to do what they say they are going to do. However the actual care givers who looked after our loved one were phenomenal
