Poor Memory Care Experience
Upon moving a family member in here I was so excited as I thought I found the perfect place for them. Very quickly I started to realize the staff here is not equipped or trained to care for Dementia residents. Please be warmed if your loved one has any behavioral issues associated with Dementia this is definitely not the place for them. My loved one sustained injuries and bruises here that were unexplained. I was very persistent upon getting answers one evening I was told my loved one was sent to a Behavioral Unit for aaggression.i believe he was dumped their due to my questioning. I was never contacted to pick up my loved one at first signs of aggression. and only notified after the fact. I was told he coukdnt teturn. They called the police and my loved one who has Dementia and lives in their locked facility was taken away in handcuffs by police and given paperwork regarding their rights which they couldn't read or understand. This can happen to your family member if they are here

Our family's overall experiences and observations of Rancho Penasquitos Senior Living facility.
Me and my family have been sooo pleased with the whole experience we've encountered for our sister's admittance and residency at Rancho Penasquitos Senior Living!! She's been there since Feb. 21st and we continue to be impressed with her positive attitude in living there!! The staff is interactive with the residents and with their family, is very kind to everyone they are in contact with, the room size is very roomy and private and has a view, and my sister feels safe and happy there!! Housekeeping comes once a week to change her bed, wash the linens and towels/washcloths, and clean the room and bathroom! They have an awesome chef who makes all good meals for the residents, which has made my sister prefer to eat there than for us to take her out ??She has continuous activities and chair exercises and yoga and nightly movies in their theater, which she never wants to miss!! She has continued to be very happy and has immediately made friends!! Her happiness and social activities keeps us at peace, as her family!! We would give a rate of 5 out of 5!

I am so impressed
As a family member, I can honestly say that choosing Rancho Peñasquitos Senior Living for my loved one has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From day one, we’ve felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude knowing they are in such a caring, positive, and genuinely supportive environment. The community itself is beautiful, warm, and always welcoming—but what truly makes it special is the people. The Executive Director is absolutely incredible. Their compassion, leadership, and attention to detail shine through in everything they do. They set the tone for the entire community, and it shows in how happy and well-cared-for the residents are. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, approachable, and truly invested in both residents and their families. The staff consistently goes above and beyond. They don’t just provide care—they build real relationships. It means so much to us to see our loved one not only safe and supported, but genuinely happy, engaged, and thriving.

Great place for my mom
Rancho Peñasquitos Senior Living truly stands out for its warm, welcoming environment and high level of care. The community is well-run, clean, and full of positive energy. Executive Director [name removed] makes a real difference—she is hands-on, compassionate, and deeply committed to both residents and staff. Her leadership shows in the engaged team and the overall quality of the community. I would highly recommend Rancho Peñasquitos to anyone looking for excellent care and a supportive, well-managed environment.

Rancho Peñasquitos Senior living was absolutely wonderful for my husband. He only spent five days there, but we did not know it would be so brief when he moved in. Everyone was absolutely wonderful very kind and caring and they looked out for his safety. I shared a meal with him the first night he moved in and it was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend them to anyone. As you can imagine Memory care is not a pleasant place to be, but the staff made it as perfect as ever. I appreciated them very much.

A nice place
They aren't bad and they do care. My mom was just more independent than they can handle. And they check people but not as often as she needed to be checked especially during the night. Everyone was super super nice and caring. She just needed something a little different. After she fell a second time it was too much and we couldn't take her back. I so appreciated your help though finding a space for her. We thought it would be ideal and it wasn't bad and everyone was nice, but it just didn't work for her.

We were very impressed overall, with the experience we had touring and educating ourselves with the Rancho Penasquitos Senior Living facility. The sales director was very welcoming and openly friendly, and very informative. It is evident that their number one focus is always on the families and the individual resident’s comfort and well-being. They want to know as much as they can about the resident, so they can give them the best care and experience during their stay. This was proven to be true throughout the meeting, which grabbed our attention and gave us a sense of peace when considering choosing this facility for our loved one! We were given a tour of rooms available, a tour of the three floor levels, and an invitation to stay for lunch and try out their culinary food meals provided to residents at 3 meals a day. This all will help us with our decision in choosing the proper place for our loved one.

Caring Staff, Cold Decor
I was very pleased with the very caring staff of this facility. And when I visited the facility for my mother-in-law, the decor was homey and perhaps a little updated, but very comfortable and the colors were warm and inviting. Someone thought that a remodel was needed and cooling the colors down to gray and white was somehow more modern. Well, it may have been modern, but it was very cold and uninviting in my opinion.

Wonderful tour
I recently toured Rancho Peñasquitos Senior Living and was genuinely impressed from the moment I arrived. The community felt welcoming and warm, not clinical or cold like some places I’ve visited. The staff greeted me with smiles, took their time answering my questions, and clearly knew the residents well — you could see real relationships and respect. The apartments were clean and comfortable, and the common areas were bright, active, and inviting. I loved seeing residents participating in activities and chatting together — there was a real sense of community, not just a place where people stay. The dining area looked great and the menu options seemed thoughtful and varied. What stood out the most was the focus on dignity, safety, and individualized care. They walked me through the support available and how they tailor services as needs change, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall, my tour left me feeling confident that Rancho Peñasquitos Senior Living is a great fit.

Outstanding
Realizing my parents needed extra help was incredibly hard. From our first tour, [removed name], the Executive Director, was kind, patient, and took extra time to talk with my mom and dad about the big life change ahead. After a difficult experience with my in-laws at another community, we were very skeptical. [removed name] has been responsive, reassuring, and always available to answer questions. Within just a month, the difference in my parents has been remarkable. With scheduled medications, meals, and daily activities, they quickly became more stable and engaged. [removed name] immediately arranged physical and occupational therapy. My dad went from being nearly wheelchair-bound to walking again. My parents have made new friends, enjoy activities, and are truly happy in their new home. The staff are amazing—caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the residents. I truly thought we were losing them, and I have never been so happy to be wrong.

Do Not Recommend This Facility!
I was so thrilled to initially found this facility for a loved one. Everyone seemed so nice and I was thrilled with the level of care I was inially promised. Things went down hill very quickly once my loved one moved in. I realized what you are promised prior to signing the lease as far as daily care is not actually done. They have since moved out. In addition, there are no doctors or nurses on site and your loved ones health is left in the hands of med techs. Most of these med techs seem inexperienced and not very well trained with numerous mistakes to medications. Even cleaning a wound daily and changing a bandage is a challenge and doesn't seem to get done. There are much better places in San Diego if you care about the health and well being of your loved one. Find them and stay far away from this place!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Pacifica Senior Living Rancho Penasquitos 9.4 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
