Fredericka Manor Retirement Community in Chula Vista

Beautiful grounds, wonderful place to live. My mother was staying there, clean and for the most part friendly. My mother was left without power one night. She was afraid, being in complete darkness, and activated her emergency Pendant, with no response from staff. I called staff and was informed they would bring her a flashlight. I was informed that once her emergency Pendant was activated, staff would respond and if no response, the Executive Director would be notified if he was anywhere in the world. I don't believe that ever occurred, because staff only was aware of my mother's situation due to my personal phone call to them. Staff said the emergency Pendant was not working probably due to the power outage. Very disappointing! I have since emailed the Executive Director several times and have yet to have a response from him. I was later informed he was on vacation. Weeks later and no response. Medications were an issue. I was informed by staff that there was only two staff workers working at night and were probably busy with the other residents. That is understandable, but maybe adequate staff should be hired to accommodate seniors living at Fredericka. Fredericka is such a peaceful place to live at. I think if they correct future staffing issues and plan for power outages it could be a "5" star place.

My father moved in to Fredericka Manor Retirement Community 4 years ago and he is so happy! Most important to him was having a roomy cottage and a garage for his car and motorcycle. He loves the beautiful grounds with plenty of walking areas, a pond, rose gardens and a beautiful community vegetable garden. It's great peace of mind for me to know that my 82 year old father has such a full and happy life at Fredericka Manor.

This place should be shut down for the poor care and negligence. My mother in law was here for a couple of weeks after her fall and got no care. When we will visit all the nurses didn't have nothing logged of her food intake and medication or stool. The nurses were always on their phone and took forever to attend the patients. Its so sad that people that are hired to care for our loved one dont care. Now my mother in law is suffering and we are helpless with this situation. Please dont send your loved ones here.

First off I would like to say that the staff here is amazing, they make you feel like you have been living here for years. Every morning they greet you with a good morning and a smile. They really go the extra mile to make it feel like home, whether you've lived here for years or just moved in. My mother has lived here for 5 years in a wonderful cottage. Her and I have enjoyed all the different activities like, Bocce Ball, their little golf course that is set in a beautiful area alongside some cottages, exercise classes, walking around the pond, bus tours for residents to a multitude of San Diego attractions, the library, the computer lab, and much more. My mother was quite nervous when she first moved in but do to the outstanding hospitality from every single one of the staff members and everything Fredericka Manor has to offer in regards to care for their customer and activities she has kept healthy and saw this as the best decision she has ever made.
