Key Review Excerpts

My great-grandma loved living at Sea Cliff. She was nervous at first about moving out of her house, but the transition was smooth and she really enjoyed calling this community her home. The staff took great care of her and her room was clean and comfortable.

Great-grandchild of a resident · 2018★★★★★

Sea Cliff Assisted Living is attached to a skilled Nursing Facility, so it’s reassuring that there’s so many capable hands close by. They’re known as a more affordable option in the community but it doesn’t lack on cleanliness or great place to live and thrive.
