My father has lived in this home for a year. I call it a home, not a facility, because the people here are cared for with love and devotion. The caregivers work tirelessly to address every individual’s needs. My family and I toured numerous facilities in San Diego. Harborview exceeds all expectations.

Two years ago, we knew it was time to find a locked, memory care facility for our mom, and after visiting 5 or 6 places, the decision was obvious. HarborView in Bankers Hill is by far the best memory care facility in San Diego. From the outside, you would never know it was a place for people with Alzheimer’s. It’s tucked away, beautifully landscaped and tranquil with fountains on the outside. There are times when the planes fly overhead, however, my mom and most residents spend very little time outside so the planes are not a factor. Inside is a beautiful, welcoming home with intricate, hand-crafted woodwork. It’s not institutional-looking in any way. My mom has been there two years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the staff and management. They are the most caring, loving, attentive, family-oriented staff to all the residents. The facility and all the rooms are cleaned daily, the dining room cleaned and mopped after every meal. The beautiful view from the dining room looks out towards the San Diego bay and airport. They have music, exercise, arts and crafts available to those residents able to participate. I know and trust the staff and management with the 24/7 care of my mom. I know she is safe, cared for, and loved. We are so grateful to all of them. As hard as it is watching my mom die of the brutal disease, Alzheimer’s, knowing the staff are there to take care of her and keep her safe and visiting with them and the other residents makes this journey a little less painful. It is truly a family once you enter the doors, and we are so grateful they are here!
