Golden Living of Point Loma (3223 Duke St,<br>San Diego) is an absolute nightmare. I've<br>seen enough to know this facility is falling<br>apart and putting residents in real danger,<br>all because the cheap owner refuses to<br>spend a dime on real fixes or basic decency.<br>The building is in horrible shape: holes in<br>the ceilings, cracked floors everywhere,<br>broken pipes and improper drainage<br>causing constant leaks-water pours from<br>bathrooms into the main hallway, and<br>residents get blamed for it instead of<br>anyone fixing the root issue. Moldy<br>ceilings, cracked walls, sinks that overflow<br>with gross, stinking water. Even the patio<br>door fell on a resident once-that's how<br>bad the maintenance is. The maintenance<br>guy does unprofessional, half-assed<br>patches with whatever scraps he has<br>because the owner won't buy real<br>materials. They wouldn't even shell out for a paint bucket to repaint a recently "fixed"<br>wall. Clogged toilets are constant,<br>residents' clothes get misplaced or<br>damaged, and the building sign is literally<br>gone now. This is not a safe or dignified<br>place for anyone.<br>On top of the physical decay, the care is<br>abysmal. Fights break out between<br>residents with little supervision. Some<br>staff talk back to residents, ignore them<br>completely, or worse-steal from their<br>rooms. Workers spread rumors like gossip.<br>The memory care door on the second floor<br>malfunctions all the time, which is<br>terrifying for those residents. Poor<br>assistance overall, poor food quality<br>(bland, low-effort slop), and an overall<br>unsafe environment.<br>And get this-the owner straight-up said<br>workers couldn't take home leftover<br>cooked food and insisted on throwing it out instead. Managers had to talk him out of it,<br>but the fact he even suggested wasting<br>perfectly good food while paying peanuts<br>and skimping on everything else? That's<br>the kind of petty, greedy mindset that<br>explains why this place is such a dump.<br>Families pay good money for "care," but the<br>owner treats food like it's toxic waste<br>rather than let staff have it or donate it.<br>Residents deserve better than this<br>neglected dump. Families, if you're<br>considering this for a loved one-don't.<br>Visit in person, talk to current residents,<br>and you'll see the truth. This isn't care; it's<br>corner-cutting neglect that risks lives,<br>topped off with ridiculous owner-level<br>pettiness. Avoid Golden Living of Point<br>Loma at all costs.
