We have been looking for a place for my mom. Oceanside Senior Living is very pretty, comfortable and the rooms are well appointed. The staff is kind and attentive. Brandie has been a tremendous help through this process and has made it easier for my my to feel at home. Thank you!

My father was here for a short time before he passed, but the staff was so nice and the facility is beautiful. My dad always said how good the food was too. Special kudos to Loida, Joanie, and server Anthony!

A lot of citations. Let me tell you these citations are very difficult to get and thoroughly investigated by the state. You may consider another option. Just because a place looks pretty doesn’t mean that they are responsible, responsive, or caring enough. Unfortunately, it is the case with many facilities. You need to do your research via the state site!

Super great experience visiting the community and independent living apartment. The guiding manager is so helpful and easy going! My mother is seriously thinking about moving in and will bring my father back to visit.
