Welcome to La Vida Real

Luxury senior living in San Diego

Picture a charming Spanish village spread across 11 beautifully landscaped acres, where courtyards, ornamental fountains, arched doorways, picturesque balconies, clay tile accents, and lush Bougainvillea-draped trellises abound. Beyond this pastoral setting, you’ll appreciate the convenience of nearby shopping, dining and entertainment, not to mention Grossmont and Alvarado Hospitals just minutes away. All located among the rolling hills of Rancho San Diego in San Diego’s sunny east county. If there’s a uniquely inspired setting for senior living this may be it. Take the scenic tour.

    After touring several communities La Vida Real is my first choice for many reasons, mostly the location, amenities, and service. Kennia and the entire staff treat you like family and I look forward to visiting my family members here to enjoy all they have to offer!

    I had a very good visit for a scheduled tour. The facility was clean, staff were friendly and smiling. The few residents that I saw in the restaurant or common areas seemed happy.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our introductory visit, especially being able to speak with current and long time residents. The list of weekly activities and restaurant menus look amazing. The property’s location across from the shopping mall and library is a bonus. Open spaces and courtyards are very nice. We are still a few years out from moving out of our home and had been seriously considering another facility prior to seeing La Vida. We are now sold on La Vida as our future choice. In reply to your request for what else resonated with us I would say your “no buy in” requirement is one and the range of care from independent living to various levels of assisted living is another. Also your range of activities is great along with your in house movie theater! The property just has a resort like feel to it. I am less apprehensive now about having to move out of our home in a few years if we can move to La Vida.

    I am just starting to look at independent living facilities for me and my husband and toured here. It’s a lovely complex and I felt right at home. Everyone was friendly and gracious. I can definitely see us living here.

    I had a tour for my mother with my daughter. Christina was very informative and showed compassion and understanding with my mothers situation. Offered to have my mom come for a tour and have lunch or join them for a holiday event. Took time with us to answer questions we had. The community is well kept and beautiful. Looks like a resort.
