How They Respond to Reviews

3%response rate
Poor

The owner uses highly inconsistent and often irrelevant templates. While positive reviews receive personalized replies, negative reviews are met with non-sequitur responses, such as discussing data breaches or dining menus in response to complaints about privacy and elevator maintenance.

Key Review Excerpts

Moving to Grossmont Gardens has been the happiest decision she could have made. She loves it. She has made many new friends and spends hours every day socializing.

Family of a resident · 2025★★★★★

The entire experience has been wonderful. I had the chance to speak with both members of the marketing team, and they were incredibly informative, making it so much easier for us to make this decision.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

The staff works hard to provide care for their residents. Memory care patients can vary from day to day. The falls do happen, they can show aggression on rough days, the important thing is the staff is able to provide this care that they need.
