Our mom recently moved to Vineyard Ranch, and this is her first experience with assisted living. She has been fiercely independent her entire life. She was a successful real estate agent, earned her MBA, and has owned many homes over the years. We weren’t sure how she would adjust to this transition, but due to some physical limitations, it was no longer safe for her to live alone. We toured several assisted living communities in Carlsbad, Encinitas, Palm Springs, and Riverside, but nothing compared to Vineyard Ranch. From the moment we walked in, Tammy made us feel so welcome, and Gary, the Executive Director, immediately made us feel like family. Gary and Tammy are always checking in on us and making sure our mom is comfortable. One of the things we appreciate most is the healthcare support. The community has a physician/NP who visits residents weekly and can provide referrals to specialists when needed. Since we don’t know the Temecula area, having that guidance has been invaluable. Our mom will likely need a couple of surgeries, and it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing she’ll be safe and cared for during her recovery. I also can’t say enough about the dining staff. They work incredibly hard, and the chef prepares delicious meals every day. I highly recommend the tuna sandwich with sweet potato fries, and the desserts are absolutely outstanding! When you really think about everything that’s included, the value is exceptional. Residents enjoy delicious meals, transportation to appointments and errands, organized outings, engaging daily activities, and beautiful outdoor spaces and gardens to relax in. It truly offers everything you could want—and more. The apartment space is also very accommodating, large bathrooms, and very safe the studio. I find large enough to feel like you have an apartment and there’s two large closets that will hold just about all your clothing and much more. We are so grateful we found Vineyard Ranch. It has made this difficult transition much easier for our entire family, and knowing our mom is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for means the world to us.
