Sunny Hill Management Co. Inc.

Brookdale Sterling Court is a very nice community. They keep the community very clean. The care staff is extremely nice. The administrative staff is a little disorganize. Overall we love it here.

My father in law was at this community for a short time before he moved due to his medical issues. The staff were nice however we did have an issue where he went outside and no one knew he had left the building. The food was alright and the community was well taken care of.

We have had an issue with maintenance taking longer than we would have liked to address some issues. Housekeeping day keeps changing, which is also a bit frustrating. The staff in the front are very nice and it seems really clean. So far I haven't heard any complaints about the food and he seems to enjoy it. Overall we have been pretty happy with it.

My mother stayed here for a short respite visit and during her visit she seemed to be happy and doing fine. The staff seemed very nice and they were very accommodating to make her feel comfortable. My mom said the food tasted good and she was able to mingle and socialize with other residents and made new friends along the way.

My mother is doing very well here at this facility. It is a very well-kept community, my mother is pleased with the cleanliness. The staff have been very helpful and kind. There are many activities for her to participate in, she has tired a few. The food is okay, it isn't best, but it is a well balanced meal. The servers are pleasant and really try their best. I know she is safe and being cared for well. I would recommend this facility.

I would recommend this community as it is one of the few communities in the area that offer convalescent care and injectables. They offer activities however my friend does not yet participate in them. The building is clean and well taken care of. The only thing I have a small concern about is the staff does not seem to respond to residents calls in a timely manner.

My loved one has been here in assisted living for 3 weeks. So far her care has been good. The staff all seem to know her from as soon as she moved in. She says they treat her well and everyone is very nice. My only critique is that we(three of us who take care of her) were not told about basic procedures regarding nurse procedures and doctor visits, because we have been seeing a few doctors these past weeks. Also, no one came to welcome her as a new resident. I would have thought someone would have been there to make her feel more at ease.

It's very nice. I like the meals, and the way they are set up, restaurant style. I like that they have lots of activities going on. The other residents seem to be pretty friendly. They have The back where the residents park is really good, but the front is a crazy busy street, and that can be difficult. Other than that I don't really have any complaints.

Things are going fine since moving my mother into Brookdale. It is taking some time for her to adjust to the community and the change but we are giving her the time that she needs. So far the staff has been great they are really helpful to my mother and her needs. She has made some new friends and is still adjusting. I think the community is very clean and well managed and I love to fact they have a lot of activities there for her to do.

They came out on top when I was researching them. When we came out to see the facility for the first time, they had the best services to offer. We looked around and based on everything we could find, Grossmont was the best.

It is fine. My father passed away last month. It was great for the time we used it for. The staff was very kind and caring.

I liked it. The staff seems very attentive and it appears many have been there for some time. I only had a few concerns - the facilities were not the most modern (not such a big thing as it's quality of care that is the big thing). I did have a serious concern about the apartments and some of the interior common space. The colors were not very bright and cherry. I would think that there would be less earth tones and more bright tones. I like lots of light and bright colors because it's up-lifting and provides a sense of well-being and I think more positive energy. The dark walls and carpets in the apartments were just a major downer. I know we can do our own interior upgrades to fix that. It would cost a few thousand dollars to paint and carpet the apartment with uplifting colors and just decorate with a positive feel. I know if I was to show mom the apartment as it is today she would be sad and say "you're going to put you mom and dad here". I need happy and excited to move Mom and Dad from their big place to what would be a very small space. But like I said we can fix this. My sister inlaw knows mom's taste and can fix it right. Another concern that will bug both mom and dad is the the mini refrigerator which is way to small. My folks like a variety of beverages and cheese treats and mom likes lots of ice in her water or juices. I noticed that the patio had wall electric outlets so I guess we could put a small additional refrigerator on the patio and that would solve the problem. On the very plus side I sensed a very caring facility that wanted to do good for the residences. I did not see any grumpy faces with the staff or the residence. Happy faces speaks volumes. The facility is only 12-15 minutes from my home which is a super big plus as I know if I move my folks down here they are going to want me to bounce over and visit all the time to fix their TV remote control or their iPad, computer, Kindle and the other technology stuff that they so often mess up. And the dog thing.... which is a REALLY BIG thing. This was just near perfect. We would just have to install a dog door insert in the sliding glass door (no big deal and only about a $150 expense) and just have a handyman build a little white picket fence around the outdoor patio and a ground poop waste disposal septic bucket. An additional FYI - I looked at several facilities down in San diego 2 years ago when I was trying to get ahead of the curve and get them to move down here - the one ting I noticed back then at Grossmont Gardens was the residence were happy and smiles and I noticed on this visit too.

The biggest concern is the food and quality of the meals. It's better than most places but could improve.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. However, it was a bit out of the price range we were looking in, it is fairly expensive. But definitely worth a look if you're searching in the area!

Brookdale Magnolia has been a really great place for my aunt. The people there are very friendly and attentive to the needs of the residents.

We are very happy and pleased with the Grossmont Gardens. My loved one is doing well. Everything has been good. The Grossmont Gardens is a nice community. I would recommend it if you are in the La Mesa Area.

Huge campus! Kind of complicated to walk around for those with memory issues, but the staff ratio was high. The 1960's motel style layout is different from newer facilities - retro in a pleasant manner, a sort of oasis. It is all well-maintained and regularly refurbished. Probably 2nd or 3rd favorite out of 13 in our visit.

The facility is a great service just a little concern just left their and was trying to get a hold of the main person to get some information and couldn't get a hold of them the whole time I was there but would recommended anyone to go it is a good place.

Ended up touring with uncle 3/15/15. Possibly too far between activities/dining for my uncle. Seems like a nice community.

My loved one was here for a while and it was nice. Since they are an independent and assisted living facility, they were not able to provide the level of assistance that we eventually needed. They aren't able to make the residents do the things they don't really want to do, even if they needed to be done. Still a nice place.
