What families are saying about independent living in Desert Lodge
Recent reviews for independent living in Desert Lodge
Atria Rancho Mirage
4.1
I would say it is overall average. Sometimes short staffed. Some of the landscape has been removed and not replaced. Rent increased by $400 after the first year. Since I haven't lived in another living facility, I don't really have anything to compare. Overall would probably recommend.
Crest View Manor, Inc. in Escondido, CA
5.0
My mom really liked Crest View Manor. It has a great staff and is very clean. I would definitely recommend Crest View Manor to anyone. They were great. Unfortunately my mom was there during Covid, so there wasn't too much activities taking place. But it was a great facility.
Solstice Senior Living at El Cajon
4.6
The workers are so super sweet, the people who run the place, or not very friendly, and the residents are kind and they love mom. I always recommend Solstice Senior Living to other families as well as A Place For Mom.
