Would recommend
My mother is there because it's a small community. She would be overwhelmed and unhappy in a larger place. Because she is mobile and doesn't take medication, I think she gets overlooked. They don't encourage her to get out of her room. They need more and consistent activities. My biggest pet peeve is all her missing stuff. I won't allow them to do her laundry anymore. They have lost 4 sets of sheets, 6 sets of towels, 1/2 her clothes, her winter jacket and even her laundry basket! Would recommend because from what I hear from other people, the same things happen at other places. Summerfield is more intimate and because it's smaller the caregivers know everyone's personalities. That is more important to me than laundry issues. If I had to choose again, I would still pick Summerfield. They do listen to our issues and I do see some improvement. I think a lot of their issues are due to understaffing, qualified and caring help is hard to find.

Great Place
I started volunteering here in my spare time, when it came time for my grandparents it was a no brainer. The community is clean, smells great, and best of they care. Everyone knows Grand name, Hoe she is doing, and even our entire family. We just lost Gran, [name removed] was so committed to making sure we all had what we needed, answering the hard questions, helping find a outstanding hospice, [name removed] the nurse is so knowledgeable and helpful, he is easy to talk to. Oh! Don’t let me forget about the outstanding food. I cannot say enough about this place. Special thanks to the Maintenance Director. He literally helped pack up everything when we just couldn’t do it. Thank you Summerfield. We love you.

A great experience for our mom
We looked at several places in San Diego area before choosing Summerfield as a new home for our mom. She has been here since August of 2023 and our family has been very pleased with her care. The facility is relatively small (approx 50 residents in 4 wings), secure, and I am not worried at all about Mom wandering out. The staff is very loving, caring, and attentive to mom's needs. I've also had the pleasure to dine with her and the food is always good! The facilities are clean and well maintained, and there is a lovely activities room and backyard/patio area. The decor changes with the seasons and has a very festive happy feel for both the residents and visitors. I can't say enough about how kind and caring the staff and management have been. As her condition has progressed we brought in hospice and they work together with Summerfield to ensure mom is well cared for. Mom has many visitors, and all comment on the pleasant atmosphere and attentiveness. The staff really cares.

Excellence at its best!
I was very hesitant to move my loved one to a community. Summerfield of Encinitas gave us options of how to move forward. We started with their amazing Day Stay program. Did that for a few weeks to get my dad used to the people and staff. We considered respite to see how he liked staying over night but after much thought we as a family decided to just move forward with moving him in permanently. The staff are incredibly kind, compassionate, patient and loving. Alzheimer’s is such an ugly disease and it’s been so difficult for us as a family to see this change and want only the best for our dad. Summerfield of Encinitas provides excellent care, delicious and healthy food, fun activities everyday of the week, and they even do outings once a month! We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. Thank you to the Executive Director, the Sales Director, Business Office, Nurse and staff at Summerfield of Encinitas for your excellence!!

Thankful
My uncle didn’t have kids so when it came time for him to need help it fell to me. I have a family 4 young daughters, so when we brought him home to stay with us we all felt terrible knowing we couldn’t spend a lot of time with him. He hated the caregivers we hired. He thought it a waste watching them sit on their phones while he wasted a small fortune and still he was alone. We started with summerfield of Encinitas just going to their outstanding daycare. He actually loved it. He quickly made friends with some of the live in residents. We had been so surprised at the fact this was a memory care. lots of the residents you would never have known. Like him they still could hold a great conversation. After about 3 months it seemed right for him to move in. He has been so Happy. He gets to have 24 hour care and companionship, he loves the food, and we are so appreciative of what they have done for our family. Summerfield is so special.

A place for dad!
My dad lives here. The staff at summerfield are outstanding. They do everything and more than we expected. Dad is not easy by any means. When we toured to say I was frazzled is an understatement. Dad had become such a skilled escape artist none of us could sleep, shop, or go anywhere. The police brought him home several times we didn't even know we was gone through the night. (payback?) Anyways, as soon as we walked in the door we knew. the community is welcoming, the staff are attentive and understanding. I must have spoken a million miles a minute because the executive director and marketing director looked at me and said let's take a minute and we will just let you know what we are going to do for you. First off they offered day care while we made all the arrangements. the knowledge and care they both took that day meant the world to us. They even took him in to lunch and to meet some of the other residents and pushed us out the door to go and have a much needed lunch. Thank you

Great place for a senior.
I toured the community and attended an event that was open to the public. My first impression was that the community was clean and smelled good, which is very important to me. The Executive director and community development director were welcoming, friendly and informative. As I walked around the hallways the staff was friendly and said “hello”. The residents appeared to be enjoying themselves in the activity room. Overall had a good experience.

What a Fantastic place
I toured with with the Executive Director who is a absolute gem. She took time to show me the entire place. I had about a million questions and [name removed] took the time to address them all. She shared her own experience which was so soothing. It is evident that all the staff are so compassionate and gentle. During my tour I saw several staff assisting the seniors to and fro. My heart is full and I cannot wait for my dad to come and live her.

Great Place for mom
We are so happy that we chose Summerfield of Encinitas for mom. She is so happy being able to make new friends. Mom is very high functioning so we were all scared that she would not fit in. We toured several communities and they were so depressing. It was clear to us with the large outdoor areas to walk and sit, the great food, and larger rooms this was the place for us. We have not been disappointed. A HUGE thank you to [name removed] who is the community relations director. She guided us though this and really eased our fear. If you are looking for a great Memory care this is it.

A wonderful home for my mom
My mom was in memory care in Florida, with no family within 1,000 miles so I wanted her to be closer to family so that I could visit her and ensure she was taken care of. I looked at several homes, but settled on Summerfield based upon the layout, size, and activities. There are 3 outdoor areas where the residents can come and go as they please. The staff has been amazing and most importantly my mom has connected with 3 other higher functioning women and they walk around and talk, which is really important since my mom is still social, even though she can’t recall what happened or what was said 2 minutes prior. Summerfield is also very active with activities and they truly care for the residents, even the ones who can’t do much on their own. They move them out of their rooms and have them at all of the activities even for the residents who aren’t noticeably engaged. I feel very fortunate to have found Summerfield. And the cost is reasonable compared to other options in the area.

Amazing staff
my dad lives at this community and out off all the communities I have been to this past 2 years. I must say the staff are amazing. The community is clean and smells nice. There is fun and interactive activities going on. The residents are so happy. The staff members always greet me, smile, and ask how I am. You can tell that they are happy and fulfilled. The residents are clean and well groomed. The building is not brand new with all the frills, bells, and whistles. But we have already done that and It doesn't matter what they offer the care never compares to this. We thought that dad needed movie theaters, exercise rooms, and resort style accommodations. It was just not realistic. Dad didn't live like that before and didn't when we moved him. We went to 3 different larger communities and all that happened is that dad declined. He wasn't showered, medications where not give, missed Dr. Appointments the list goes on and on. Dad was left to fend for himself.

Intimate setting
I was so happy with it. I think the smaller size was really good and the staff got to know the residents better because of the smaller ratios. They had a visiting doctor which I felt was really convenient. The staff always greeted me by name, and they always knew where my mom was and what she was doing. I felt like it was a more family oriented and intimate setting because of the small size. They have a beautiful outdoor area for residents to enjoy. The chef was great and the food was excellent. The staff would call me to keep me informed as needed. The caregivers would communicate what my mom needed and really knew my mom. I visited 12 different places before choosing this one and I was happy was my decision.

Somerford was the first facility I visited in late Spring of 2018 due to recommendations by acquaintances and Place for Mom. The Director of Sales and associates were very helpful during the search for my husband's placement, taking the time to give me a tour and answering my many questions, At that time, my husband did not qualify for residency due to an on-going treatment of his condition. As soon as treatment was concluded, he was able to be transferred. I felt Somerford was perfect with the friendliness of staff, cleanliness of the home, well=maintained surroundings and not having a huge number of residents where care of individuals could be compromised, Today, I am very satisfied the choice to place him at Somerford was the right choice,

Great place, but issues
At first, the activities, as well as the appearance was extremely appealing to me for my mother. She was admitted mid-May 2018. After time, I noticed numerous changes in staff, including the activities director. My mother and staff always have had positive interactions - to my knowledge and observation. An outbreak of scabies occurred this summer. I expressed my concern about co-mingling of clothing and linens to be laundered and the possibility of transmission, as I had found my mother wearing another's clothes and someone else's bedding on her bed. I subsequently labeled all my mother's clothing and linens. Several weeks after treatment and assurances that the epidemic was gone, my mother began scratching. I immediately, consulted with the nursing staff and I was told that the scabies was not eradicated and that all the residents would need to undergo treatment simultaneously again. Treatment includes a topical application of permethrin - head to toe - and ivermectin. These are very potent drugs (insecticides) and repeated doses are problematic, from my point of view. These are elderly people whose systems not only have to metabolize their own medications, but also very potent medications for treatment of scabies. Yet, I have still found other's clothing in my mother's room. I brought this immediately to the attention of the new Exec Director and I have high hopes that many changes will be forthcoming. Somerford is a very nicely arranged living situation with garden, patio, walkways, and activities room. Most of the staff have always been friendly and they love my mother. I which them success in making necessary changes!
