    Clean facility but staff threatened

    I appreciate the very clean facility, excellent owner and leadership (Sandy is wonderful), prompt emergency care, a private downstairs room with bath, friendly common areas and a helpful 16:3 staffing ratio. However, I experienced intimidating staff behavior, money-related accusations and threats to involve Adult Protective Services that made me feel unsafe.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is mixed but leans positive on care quality, cleanliness, facilities, and leadership, while raising significant concerns about specific staff behavior and resident safety. Reviewers consistently mention strong elements: a clean environment, thoughtful private accommodations (a downstairs private room with its own bath), comfortable common areas (an open family room with a view), and a casual dining arrangement with multiple small tables that supports a home-like atmosphere. Multiple comments single out emergency care as effective and note that the facility can be a good fit for certain residents, with one reviewer specifically calling Sandy "wonderful."

    Care quality and responsiveness appear to be strengths. Reviewers explicitly describe the care as good and note positive experiences with emergency care, implying attention to residents' medical needs and timely responses when issues arise. Praise for the owner and for strong leadership suggests that management is visible and positively regarded by some families or residents, which can contribute to consistent policies and culture. The mention of an apparent staffing metric — "16:3 ratio" — appears in the reviews; the entry is included verbatim because the context is not fully explained in the summaries, but it may be intended to indicate staffing levels or another facility ratio relevant to care.

    Facilities and daily life are described in favorable terms. The private room with a bath, the very clean spaces, the open family room with a view, and the casual dining layout with multiple small tables together portray a small, homelike setting rather than an institutional one. These concrete details suggest the facility prioritizes resident comfort, privacy, and social dining that allows smaller-group interactions.

    Despite the positive notes, there are serious negative reports that temper overall impressions. Several summaries allege troubling staff behavior: threats to involve adult protective services, intimidation, and money-related accusations. These are significant because they relate directly to resident safety, dignity, and financial security. The reviews indicate a disconnect: while leadership and ownership are praised, at least some frontline staff conduct has been reported as aggressive or coercive. That inconsistency is a notable pattern — positive management and a clean, well-appointed environment on one hand, and allegations of intimidation and financial accusations on the other.

    Taken together, the reviews paint a picture of a facility that has many strengths — cleanliness, comfortable accommodations, a family-like dining environment, and leadership that some reviewers describe as exceptional — but that also has reported instances of problematic staff behavior that raised safety and financial concerns for reviewers. For prospective residents or family members, the reviews suggest it would be wise to verify the staffing ratio meaning, ask management how complaints are handled, and seek clarification about the isolated but serious allegations regarding threats and money-related issues. The facility may be an excellent fit for many residents, especially given the praised owner and care quality, but the reported staff conduct issues warrant direct inquiry before making placement decisions.

    About Secure Seniors Inc

    Secure Seniors Inc sits in Escondido, California, and opened its doors in July 2004, staying licensed since then with a total of 16 beds in its care home. Owned by KRASOVEC INC, this place gets regular inspections and has had visits for both compliance and complaints, with a clear focus on keeping residents safe. The facility keeps doors locked with security features and uses special bracelets that ring alarms if someone with memory issues tries to wander, and there's a separate building on the property for memory care, especially for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. Secure Seniors accepts older adults who need different types of care, and the staff includes RNs, LVNs, and CNAs, so people can get nursing help, home health care, or hospice care when they need it, all without moving somewhere else.

    The staff speaks English and can help with everyday things like dressing, bathing, taking medicine, and moving in and out of bed. They're always there around the clock, which helps families know their loved ones have help day and night if anything happens. There's a meal and dining service with options for common dietary needs, so if someone needs diabetic or allergy-sensitive food, that's taken care of. Residents get light housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help, and can have their dogs or cats live with them under the pet policy. Transportation is free, and staff will drive folks to doctor appointments, out to restaurants, or for group outings, and parking is ready for those who still drive.

    Residents get involved in regular activities, like movie nights, exercise, and daily programs to help everyone stay connected. The community has garden paths, outdoor spaces, and walking routes for peaceful walks and fresh air. For people who struggle with wandering or acting out from memory loss, Secure Seniors uses locks, alarms, and close supervision to help keep them safe. There's support for non-ambulatory residents and those who need help with transfers, including mechanical lifts, and incontinence care includes reminders and full support for both bowel and bladder care. The facility gives behavioral care to people who need help with symptoms that affect mood or behavior. Meal prep and home health care are part of the daily help, and there's disease-specific care, like cancer and diabetes care, plus a hospice program for those at the end of life.

    Secure Seniors stays focused on giving each person a care plan that matches what's needed, whether someone just needs reminders about medicine or full support for daily living. The rooms come furnished and the property has a dining room and secured community areas, and while details about what's in each room aren't listed, the basics are handled. The place runs with a community feel, promoting social engagement and freedom, as much as possible, even while handling some pretty tough care needs. The California rating on Seniorly is 6.8, and it's clear the staff keeps trying to improve where needed. Secure Seniors Inc covers a lot of ground-independent living, assisted living, retirement, memory care, continuing care, and even respite-and offers reliable care for seniors looking for safety, help, and a bit of company in their later years.
