I wanted to give a special thank you to Freddie for being so amazing and helpful to work with in partnership. He took the time to really educate me about his community, answer my questions, and share valuable information so I could confidently present it as an option for a family I am helping. Freddie’s kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help truly made a difference. I appreciate how welcoming and supportive he was in helping coordinate a tour and making the process feel smooth and comfortable. Thank you, Freddie, for all you do for families and for being such a wonderful resource in our senior care community!

We choose Felicita Vida as a hospice location for my mother's husband. It was ideal because they could reunite after he had been hospitalized for two months. Within days they wanted to throw my mother out because they didn't want to deal with her memory problems. She was not disruptive, she just couldn't remember things. We hoped to move them, but my stepfather passed before we could take action. At such a difficult time of life, Felicita Vida was heartless.

Beware of this facility. Don't be fooled by the landscape, the beautiful furniture, the catered parties with a band. It's all a facade to hide what they're really doing. My parents have been here for 7 months, I live 15 mins away, visit every day for 8hrs at a time because things have been fishy since their first week. They've had multiple medication errors, the med techs have attempted to give my mom an anti-psychotic (Seroquel) three separate times but she refused each time. The worst incident is when med tech Veronica was very, very inappropriate with my elderly, fragile mom. My mom attempted to report this incident to the new director Alicia who along with corporate regional nursing supervisor Adrianna tried to trick my mom and said Veronica wasn't working on the date my mom was reporting. They lied to mom, said Veronica wasn't working that day, but my mom had it written on her calendar. The police were called (Ivy was mandated to report) because an assault occurred. The first thing the police officers said, "Mam, you were correct about the date. Ivy has retracted their statements about saying you had the incorrect date". I called the omsbudman (state of CA) at my mom's request and the retaliation got worse. They are childish, disorganized, and horrible at handling emergencies. But don't worry, if you're still interested going to this facility they might just keep giving your loved ones an anti-psychotic medication to keep your loved one from telling you there's a problem. Welcome to this hideous mess. I'm just grateful to be getting them out. Don't waste your money here.

Beware. Felicita is a profit driven retirement facility who will approach you with charm and a super sales pitch. Staff tries but is sloppy overall and not responsive to residents needs. Shop around and if you chose Felicita Vida be prepared for enormous rent increases because they will come. Somebody is paying for those expensive cars management drives and it is the seniors.

I adore this place. My parents have improved being here. Right this moment, my parents are singing to Frank Sinatra, with a community of their elders. Each time I come to visit my elders there are at least 3 staff around, my parents are active (last time they were painting). Right now, one of the sweet staff is asking what residents were doing at 17... and now they are starting trivia. All on computer so everyone can see. Next up...a yummy lunch. Highly recommended!!! Huge difference from the "5 star" place in Poway, where I had to chase down staff and after 1 year, the aid didn't know my dad had a stroke
