Summerfield of Encinitas is a community, not just a facility. My mother had had several health and memory challenges since her move-in as part of the natural disease process. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Mercedes Margritz, the executive director is outstanding in facilitating all that is necessary to accomplish the needs of the residents, including my mother. She is accessible on weekends and off-hours, if needed. She welcomed my mother during a weekend move-in. She facilitated my mother's immediate assessment during a hospital discharge. She truly offers her best to us everyday!

My wife, with Alziemers, has been at Summerfield Encinitas for 2 months now. Her improvement in confusion & irritability is amazing. The staff is personal , kind , and very friendly. The routines, activities, diet, and exercise are all factors in her improved condition. I think the small size of the community gives a family feel too. I would highly recommend Summfield to anyone needing help with a loved one.

My mother has been at Summerfield for about 2 years. We chose it in large part due to the outdoor space and walk ways. Summerfield is unique in the amount of outdoor space available to the residents. Secondly the staff seemed caring and attentive. There have been times in the past when staffing per resident seemed low and we are hoping to see that improve as time moves forward with the new management. I see a lot of positive changes recently with Chris coming in as the new director. He is very hands on and I see him walking around the facility and engaged in how it is operating. He seems to be setting a much more attentive and structured tone to the facility and instilling a greater sense of responsibility with the staff. There are a lot more outings for the residents than with prior management and I see more attention being paid to the needs of the residents. In the time we have been here, so many of the staff have demonstrated a genuine caring and friendliness, in what has to be a very challenging job. They know residents by name, by habits and the family members that visit as well. This all adds to a friendly and caring environment. We are hopeful that things continue in this very positive direction to the benefit of all the residents and families that count on Summerfield to care for their loved ones.

My ex mother-in-law was a resident here and I was very impressed by the friendly attention she received. She had plenty of activities to keep her busy and entertained. Now my ex husband is there with Alzheimer's and I have visited him a few times and he is doing really well. My sons, their wives and myself visited last Saturday and we had a fun and interactive visit that made us all happy.
