Every review on the main website is from a marketing person in the industry. (That’s sad). The reviews had nothing to do with the service to senior’s family member. I don't see many reviews from an adult child or any constructive criticism- which is strange. It is sad that it is all about celebrating the 'dream' (facade) but not about the people the seniors who live there. The high google rating is a lie - look at the turn over of staff- not just caregivers but admin, culinary and marketing. Don't buy into the glitz and glam, find a community that has an excellent reputation established over time and is affordable. The CarePlan put in place for your love one assistance is never followed (LVN) trainee. Omg! Andyou as a child/adult need to advocate for you family otherwise you will get ripped off by the staff that has no supervision and management that is unsupervised by their corporate managers that are clueless on daily senior living “per resident” life at LaMarea. Stay away!

We chose this community for it's cleanliness and closeness to our home. The staff are very caring. My father moved into the community after he had a big fall and broke his hip and could not move back to his home. He was hesitant at first but has been doing much better now after 2 months. He has been able to move on his own after all the help from staff.

I toured both the assisted living and memory care areas of La Marea just this past week. This is a new community, up on a hill in Carlsbad (overlooking farms) built within the last few years. Being newly built, they have some thoughtful design elements that are very unique versus other options. For example, the dining room and lounge are open floor concept giving a light, open and home like feel, there is specialized ventilation throughout the building to improve clean air flow and the open courtyards are a great safe place to gather. I did not have a chance to try the food, but my understanding is that it is very good and the chefs are happy to customize meals for each resident. On the care and engagement side Vibrant Life and Generations Memory Care programming are offered. This is very nice option, I was impressed and recommend it for consideration.

My sister is a resident at La Marea Memory Care. I have been visiting her for over two years. Her all around care has been excellent. The staff is friendly, the meals are great and her personal care has been first class. The problem is the parking. I went to see her today and had to return home because there was not an empty space on any of the levels, not even across the street. There were three cars trying to find parking and every one of them gave up too. I wonder have many visitors a day cannot get in to see their loved ones because of the parking problems…… If you have a solution, please let me know.

We moved our mom here around two months ago.My brother viewed many assisted living before making a decision. From the first tour with Launa we knew this was a home for mom. Mom did not adjust well at first. Launa went out of her way to make my mom feel special and welcomed and got her settled. The dedication and sincere caring for the residents by Launa is top notch. Thank you La Marea for employing great people. The apartments , food , care and activities exceed our families expectations.
