The caregivers were so attentive and patient, especially as his memory declined. They took the time to really know him, not just care for him. We’ll always be grateful for the warmth and respect he was shown.
Son of Resident
The homes are cozy and full of sunlight, and the staff truly treats residents like family. We get regular updates, and my mom is always smiling when we visit. We finally have peace of mind knowing she’s safe and happy.
Daughter of Resident
We used Villa Bernardo for a short-term stay while I recovered from surgery, and they took wonderful care of my husband. He loved the meals and friendly staff, and it gave me time to heal knowing he was in good hands.
Spouse of Resident
After decades working across memory care, skilled nursing, and assisted living in over 30 states, I’ve seen the full spectrum of care models — and I knew I wanted to help build something different here in Escondido. With a background in compliance and quality assurance, I bring structure and high standards. But what really matters is how we treat people — with respect, patience, and genuine connection. I’m proud of the small, hands-on team we’ve built here. Together, we work every day to create a space where residents and their families feel supported, heard, and valued.
