St. Paul's Villa in Bankers Hill is a Great Place to Live

Senior Care and Nursing Homes Tomorrow

Mark: Dad and I've known about St. Paul's for years because we live in the neighborhood. In fact, I'll never forget about 10 years ago, he mentioned that maybe he'd like to live here one day. So, when we decided it was time for dad to find a safer place to live. This was yeah, safer than in our old house. Then we knew that this was one of our priority places to look at.

Tisa: When my mom needed to move into a place that was more care for her. She used to live on her own independently. Um, I did a lot of research and I went around San Diego and it just felt the most comfortable here. It was clean. The staff felt like family like Teresa, the director greeted us as a family member immediately. And I just felt very comfortable.

Eileen: The best part of it. Everyone is so happy and motivated.

Shannon Lewis: What makes St Paul's Villa so special is that we have two very different communities under one roof. We have our Assisted Living Facilities, which is, uh, geared towards our more independent residents and we have our Memory Care for which caters to our residents that have Alzheimer's, different forms of dementia, and that need more supervision and oversight.

Tisa: I can count on these people. Day or night, 24 hours a day, and that's, what's really important to me and my family.

Mark: When you have a big adjustment, like changing where you live, there's always going to be a transition time, but the staff rallied and they've gotten to know my dad as a person and who he is. And every time I come here, he's doing something or he's with somebody. And that just makes me feel so good and so happy you made the best decision.

Shannon Lewis: Residents at St. Paul's Villa love the activities program. We go on lots of outings to lots of different locations. We have lots of activities such as exercise, music, and they rave about our food.

Sheila: I think the best thing for me about living at the Villa is its low rent in a high rent area. After all this is Bankers Hill. We're a block from Balboa Park. How lucky can you get? It's lovely.

Terry: My memory is starting to fail. I misplaced names. Uh, I know where I'm going. I don't get lost. What I enjoy doing here is reading believe it or not. I never seem to have enough time in my life to read, and you have a good library and there's people around who have the same interests as I do.

Evan: It's just outstanding to live here. I lived at other places and it was didn't compare to how they make you feel. We're one big happy family here. I really love it here.
