I looked for several months for the right fit for my dad. Not only a place that can adequately manage his complicated medical history, but that will give him love and care. Maria isn’t the owner, but she runs it all.. and she has an amazing heart. She made the process much less painful & smooth. Maria & the staff i have met so far (Valeria & Olivia), seem to genuinely care. They don’t mind how many times you call to talk to your loved one, or if you text to ask for updates. Maria has sent pictures & videos… and it’s not just the staff. The actual facility is beautiful, well kept, feels like a home, & is in a beautiful location. They have live music for the residents, activities, Bible study.. and most importantly, my dad is taking this huge life change of moving into a facility, as well as can be expected. I could not be more thankful to have found RanchView. Thank you Maria for making this difficult season much less painful for my dad and our family ❤️

Hard to top the location, on the Encinitas-Rancho Santa Fe border. Maria and her staff have exceeded all expectations in every phase of care. My wife Kathleen has been a resident for one year suffering with dementia. Her walking, talking and weight have all improved starting with regaining the 35 lbs she had lost. Very rewarding and impressive to see her overall health improvement. Maria’s staff is experienced and professional and I have seen the entire team engage in whatever activity needed attention. Kathleen has a quiet, spacious room overlooking the courtyard which is exactly what she needs. Live music outdoors weather permitting or indoors. She can open her door to enjoy from her room or join residents in the courtyard. Since being in her own home and a cure for dementia are not options at this time, we feel fortunate to get the next best option which is the care that Ranch View offers.

My mother in law lived with us for many wonderful years until her Parkinson's and Alzheimer's became a situation my wife and I could no longer handle with out professional help. The team at ranch at view has shown amazing care for her conditions constantly working with her to keep her sharp. This is a very special place the management and staff are always striving to provide the best care for my mother in law and every individual that resigns here. The place is beautiful, clean, and everyone is professional. I highly recommend trusting your loved ones to Ranch View.

My brothers and I are unanimous in our praise and gratitude to Olivenhain Guest Home. Our mother was given not just a lovely place to live, plenty to interest her and good food, she was treated with compassion, affection and sincerely loving care. My mother could not only enjoy the daily music program but sometimes even play the piano along with the presenter. She was able to do art projects when she wanted to and plant seeds and watch the garden grow in ways that she had always loved. A friend of ours had recommended Olivenhain as her mother had already lived there with Alzheimer's. My mother was released from life just a few weeks ago at age 95, and we feel deep thankfulness to all the staff of Olivenhain. They kept us informed and connected even when my mother could not. We trust them completely and would be happy to talk to anyone who is considering having a parent live in this residence with beautiful courtyard that feels like a true home.

My mother was a resident at the Olivenhain Guest Home in 2014-2015. She received the best care imaginable and was always well attended to. The staff including Suzanne, Trudy, and Sarah were wonderful and fully dedicated to the care and well-being of their residents. The facility has a plethora of activities including music, crafts, art projects and games that focus on keeping the residents' minds active. My mother spent much of her time outside in the courtyard, loving the warmth of the sun in this beautiful spot.
