My Mother-in-law resides at the Good Samaritan and is really thriving there! She's a very particular person and the staff has more than met her needs. The facility is very nice inside and out. The staff is very attentive and they really get to know the residents. The food is good and very nutritious. I couldn't think of a better place for her.

This place has been incredible for my mom. They are very accommodating with our requests and the staff is very caring. The meals are prepared by a chef and are tasty and nutritious. They offer residents several daily activities which include Sit and Stretch classes, Bingo, Ice Cream Socials, Movie Night, Sing-a-longs and more. We are happy that our mom is in a safe and caring environment and…

My mom was very blessed by all the compassionate and loving care she received from all the staff at Good Samaritan. The "angel" caregivers and medical staff tended to her daily with a kindness and commitment that was truly a great blessing to my…

We like the fact that the size is modest, with a capacity of around 55 residents, rather than a huge semi-industrial complex. The caregivers have been very kind and thoughtful, and there are lots of…

After many months of searching for an affordable nursing home for my 91 year old father, my wife and I were very lucky to find this wonderful and caring senior community near our residence in Rancho San Diego. What impressed…
