Not What I Expected
I am 88 years old. I needed a safe place to be as I age and need more and more assistance with daily living. I found Capistrano Senior Living to be exactly what I was looking for. The staff is caring, thoughtful, and well trained. Safety in all areas is a primary concern and the staff is diligent in their care of us. The big surprise was what a wonderful community this is of residents. They are careful and considerate, helpful in small ways, friendly and loving. This is ,more like a community or, even better, a large loving family. I feel so fortunate to have found a home here, and my family tells me I am a much happier, healthier person since I have been here.

Would Recommend
It is difficult to anticipate the changes that your loved one will experience. There is a time that it takes for them to meet people and feel like this is a place they belong. The food is bland and soft, but overall a safe place for them to be looked after! Would recommend.

Satisfory Care
We picked becasue it was the only community that agreed to a ten day stay. It was acessible, cloes to home, and it was a nice area, with nice rooms. They did a good job of taking care of my loved one. I would take my loved one back here, if I needed to.

Overall Thoughts on the Community
We're very pleased with them overall. The staff are all very nice. They seem to be short-handed because sometimes they don't follow through with things, or when my loved one pushes her call button, they don't show up immediately. Usually it has to do with taking her dog out, which she pays an extra fee for, so it's okay. But had she fallen or something of that nature, that would be an issue. Also, service in the dinging room is lacking. At times, they don't get the right meals to the right resident. Some of the food is really good; some is really bad. They've admitted they've had some problems with staffing due to the pandemic, so hopefully that will even out over time. Again, the staff are really nice. It's just follow-though that's lacking. The grounds are well kept up. The place is clean and really nice. Overall we're pleased, and they're definitely trying. It's kind of pricey. If the follow-through and all the extras she pays for were a little better, the value would be better. But her apartment is really nice, and overall she's content there.

Community Tour
Our tour at Capistrano Senior Living was fine. The staff were very helpful and very good. We chose a different facility with a lighter and brighter atmosphere, where we saw more residents up and about in the common spaces. At Capistrano, it was just really quiet, and there didn't seem to be a lot going on.

Great place
We chose Brookdale San Juan Capistrano because it was definitely more cost friendly and I really liked the introduction, we met with the sales guy and he was very helpful and I connected with him and liked him a lot. The room sizes here are great, definitely big enough. I have not eaten here but heard that the food is fantastic. I would definitely recommend to others.

Elis was the Best
My mother was only at the Brookdale San Juan Capistrano for a short time before she passed away but while she was there she felt very comfortable and the staff was very helpful, friendly and easy to communicate with. The dining area was very nice and the food was great since my mom was a picky eater it was great hearing her talk about what they were serving. The activities director was great he even got my mom to join in some of the activies and the [Removed] was her favorite.
I would absolutely recommend Brookdale to my family and friends.

Despicable
This place is awful. Do you notice how they won't show you the reviews unless you sign up? You might as well dump your loved one in the street as to go here. The nurses lie to the doctors and the families. They make up ways to dump your loved one if your loved one actually requires them to get up off their [Removed]and do their job. They don't care about you or your loved one, they just want to drug them so they can take your money and sit around and gossip. This place is a disgrace on America and on the human race.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Capistrano Senior Living 9.3 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
