Canyon Villas Retirement Community

I have lived at Canyon Villas since 2014 so it truly is my home. I love living here for many reasons but one of the main reasons is the improvements made in the community since Vonda Boller became our CEO in 2021. She has created an atmosphere of excellence with openness to suggestions and improvements. One of the things Vonda has implemented are mini fridges on each floor with bottled water, fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits, sweets, and snacks. She also implemented a periodic elaborate waffle bar in the morning, as well as freshly baked cookies in our community Baldwin Room every morning. Another reason my experience of living here is so good is the staff. Everyone from reception to dining room, nursing, housekeeping, maintenance, activities, and administration works hard with total professionalism, friendliness, and eagerness to please. I know they are happy to work here since some have been employees for 25 years or more! The grounds are always impeccable and the interiors are beautifully decorated for each holiday or season of the year. We also have a top notch hair stylist who provides services in a hair salon located on the first floor. In addition, there are special events throughout the year that are provided on a grand scale with wonderful attention to detail. We have had events such as Mother’s Day tea, Father’s Day lunch, 4th of July BBQ, and Western Day. There is always live entertainment, delicious food, and festive decorations. In particular, Mother’s Day has been very special due to the performance of a live harpist. On a personal note, I am extremely happy with my living quarters. I had been living in the same unit for 10 years and then Vonda gave her approval for me to move into one of the renovated units. I now have such a completely different and beautiful home. Overall, I highly recommend Canyon Villas as a place to reside. It is a very welcoming full service environment.

My aunt has been at Canyon Villas for 8 years and it has been a good fit as her care needs have increased over time but without the very high prices that some places charge for her higher level of care. When she first moved in to assisted living, we could bring some of her own furniture and pictures to help with the adjustment to a new home. There are daily activities and holiday & birthday events and the food is enjoyable as the menu varies with fresh soups and desserts made daily. Now that she needs more care and oversight, the staff has been super in tending to her aging ailments and moods, her dietary needs including feeding and frequently communicate and welcome family/me to visit. I would recommend Canyon Villas if looking for senior care in San Diego.

My mom has been very happy at Canyon Villas. The staff keeps a warm, friendly environment, genuinely caring for residents. The food is tasty with plenty of variety. The activities are adequate and all the holidays are celebrated. Medical oversight and medications management are provided. Overall cost is reasonable and is less expensive than others in the area. Rooms are cleaned daily. Wish the services included transportation for wheel chair bound and self opening doors to facility.
