The location is terrific for access to Balboa Park, buses, restaurants galore, The Knotsop, coffee shops, and CVS . The apartments are comfortable and attractive and with useful amenties. The residents are friendly or if you want quiet they respect that. The Manor has a wellstocked and well-used library. The food is surprisingly good and varied.

My mom spent years resisting the idea of moving into a senior living community, but wow, what a difference The Manor has made in just four months! Living in Europe, I used to worry constantly about her being alone in her old apartment. Now? She's like a different person! Every morning she meets up with new friends for coffee and crosswords, and there's always something going on to keep her mind and body active. The best part is hearing the happiness in her voice when we talk. She's actually excited to tell me about her day and the people she's met. The staff have been amazing, and the other residents have welcomed her with open arms. She's already loving it there, but keeps mentioning how she can't wait for the new kitchen to open! For anyone worried about their parent living alone, The Manor on Bankers Hill has been a game-changer for my mom's social life and my peace of mind. After years of loneliness, she's finally found her community. And being thousands of miles away, that means everything to me. Thank you to everyone at The Manor who's made my mom feel so at home!
