La Costa Glen is an exceptional choice if you are looking for a high-end, resort-style environment with world-class dining and a vibrant social scene. While the care and amenities are top-tier, families should ensure they have a clear communication plan with the sales or administrative office, as some have noted difficulty reaching staff by phone.

Key Review Excerpts
“The dining operation is world class I recently ate there with my Dad and I felt like I was eating at a 5 star restaurant.”
“My mother just turned 100 years old and is still in her apartment (independent living) at LCG. ... Residential Health Services (RHS) provides a number of services that help residents to stay in their apartments as long as possible.”
“I moved into LA Costa Glen in 2020 with some concerns about living in a retirement community. During covid the staff adjusted quickly - full meals delivered every day - gym equipment moved outside under awnings - vaccine shots provided on campus- medical staff available on site.”
