We were referred to La Mesa Elder Care for the caring of our mother, and we couldn't be happier with the level of service she received. The staff was attentive and caring, and Jenny the administrator always keep us updated on how mom was doing. La Mesa Elder Care was a positive experience for us during an otherwise difficult time for our family, and we are grateful for their services.

Wow, what an amazing place! 
Great house with great backyard, especially place to walk near fruit trees, great surroundings, and most importantly amazing caregivers! The owner/manager is absolutely amazing, very special, gives so much personal attention, care and love. My wife loves the food there and few small things she needs every morning, and she always gets them! When we saw the place, we felt this is a miracle for us! The perfect place for my wife! She was at beautiful, big Nursing Home, it was like 5-star hotel! But she loves this “home” atmosphere, care and love so much more, that when I showed her the place, she asked me, “Can I please stay here?” 
It's a blessing to us! Thank you so much for providing “home’ for her!

In a time of sadness and turmoil La Mesa Elder Care came to the rescue. The house is modern, clean and welcoming. The caregivers are competent, caring and attentive. The communication between Jenny , the administrator, and family keeps us in the loop on everything and allows us to be comfortable when we are not there.
