I was blown away by how nice this place was. I met with Jeremy and he showed me around and all the residents seemed to be very happy. The staff was awesome. I got to chat with Dawn for a bit and she was really nice. It seemed like a community where everyone wanted to be. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, active and social community for their loved one to reside.Posted on Google![]()

We made the right choice for Mom. We are grateful to the entire team at ActivCare Mission Bay for their compassion, dedication, and genuine care they provide every day. Everyone is kind, attentive, patient, and treats residents with the same respect and compassion they would show their own family. Entrusting the care of a parent or spouse to a memory care community is a big decision. From independent living communities, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, other memory care programs, and hospice care, we've managed loved ones through them all. Our initial criteria for Mom was to make sure she was safe and comfortable, physically and cognitively. We really didn't anticipate the impact of a truly "active" and engaged community. What really stands out is the activity-based daily agenda. There is always something happening - activities, games, music, exercise, social interaction, and opportunities to stay engaged. Their program creates a positive, active environment and helps give each day a sense of purpose and routine. We were concerned that ActivCare Mission Bay wasn't close to where we live but we make the drive 4-5 days per week. We've become part of the community of care. We've gotten to know the staff, residents and many of the visiting families. On most days, we're actively participating in the daily schedule of events. Most importantly, the residents are treated like family. The staff take the time to get to know each resident, understand their individual needs and personalities, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and valued. The staff's commitment, care, and compassion, has given our family tremendous peace of mind.Posted on Google![]()

This was a wonderful place for my husband. His Alzheimer's had progressed and he needed more care. ALL of the caregivers were so loving and caring. It was just the place he needed.Posted on Google![]()

My mother was a resident at this facility for 4 years and every time I visited I watched the caregivers care for her and the other residents. It didn't matter when I showed up, what was happening, every caregiver without exception was kind, respectful and loving to the residents. I cannot say enough about this facility. I can truly say she was healthier and happier there than I could have made her at home.Posted on Google![]()

Our Loved One lived at ActivCare Mission Bay. Once settled in, I felt a weight had finally been lifted. I could see she was receiving consistent, compassionate care there. They treated her and all the residents with respect, and provided a warm and welcoming environment. They had good communication and were super supportive to the us, the family. The place is clean and attractive, and most importantly they have a team of staff that really cares. From the management, to the front desk, the nurses, med-techs, housekeepers, caregivers and the behind-the-scene workers…they are some of the most caring, patient and hard working people I have met. Thank you ActivCare.Posted on Google![]()

ActivCare Mission Bay was beyond what we could have hoped for with the care and attention the entire staff gave to my father until he passed there, peacefully in his sleep. The environment is very clean and pleasing to the eye, with murals depicting different local beach scenes throughout the great room. They are very attentive to every resident and are quick to attend to their individual needs. The structure is fantastic. My father was never bored and felt the love of caregivers daily. We checked out many other memory care facilities before we found this one and we are so grateful we did!Posted on Google![]()

My lovely wife, Kathy, was a resident at ActivCare at Mission Bay from April, 2017, until she passed on August 31, 2023. I can’t say enough about the management and staff of the facility, and the design and operation of all the programs and services they provide. Kathy had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for years, and the heartbreaking day finally arrived when I could no longer care for her needs. Fortunately, I was introduced to ActivCare at Mission Bay by an eldercare advocate, and from my first meeting with Dawn DeStephani, the Executive Director, and Jeremy, the Program Director, and a tour of the facility, I knew I had found the right place for my wife. Taking that step to place her in a facility was extremely difficult for both of us, but the staff and management showed us both much love and compassion and made the transition as painless as possible. Over the next 6 years, 4 months, through all the progressive stages of Alzheimer’s, and even a bout of Covid-19, she was cared for lovingly by all, and I have come to love them all like family. ActivCare was a blessing for us both and she was very involved in the activities and functions provided while she was able. The facility is very warm and welcoming, the food is outstanding, everything is always clean and organized, and the care and love shown by all the staff is always amazing. As a long time client, I give the highest recommendation possible for ActivCare at Mission Bay.Posted on Google![]()

ActivCare Mission Bay is a wonderful facility. My mother has been there for almost 4 years. Everyone is so caring and thorough. They take wonderful care of my mother and keep me informed on her health. It is bright and sunny with several outdoor patios. It smells clean and fresh. My mother says the food is good and the many activities are interesting. I know my mother is in good hands.

There are no words that describe how amazing they are. My husband called it a resort. He constantly told me how good they were to him. The best description is they treat you like a valued family member. They go out of their way to do everything possible to make things easier for both the patient and the family.
My husband passed away in peace and was surrounded by caring people. They did everything to make it easier for me too.
I visited many other places. The minute I walked into ActivCare I was very impressed. But, it is more than just an amazing structure. It is the people that make it so special. They are always available for you. I wish I could give it even more stars.
~ Dianne, wife of ActivCare Resident
