La Marea Senior Living, Carlsbad CA

La Marea is a beautiful place! Wow! I had an amazing tour with Holly Pobst. The atmosphere, the energy and smiles of residents and the staff made my visit inviting. I highly recommend this beautiful community! Great job La Marea Team.

Holly Pobst gave us a tour today and all I can say is WOW! She’s a rockstar and effortless conveyed all of the information we needed. I especially like the fact that they have on-site physical therapy, right there at the building. I loved all of the activities and the food looked delicious. I feel so confident in my decision to go with La Marea!

Thank you to Holly for listening. I am trying to find my father in law a new place and Holly was quick to reply and set up a tour. You can tell the care is marvelous. I had a resident stop me and tell me how much she loves it. I know that once my father in law is able to do be here this will be the best fit for him.

If you're looking for Senior Living at its finest La Marea is your spot! The guided tour with Sales Director, Holly Pobst, is the best way to get acquainted. She’s all energy, incredibly knowledgeable and clearly loves the Community she represents. From the Cafe, Theater, Bar, Gym, on-site PT, charity involvement and more, they have something for everyone to stay active. All that, plus the serene location with mountain views makes La Marea the easy choice!

I toured with Holly Pobst last Thursday for a client at La Marea Senior Living in Carlsbad. Holly is the Director of Sales and Marketing for the community. She is so knowledgeable, professional, passionate and easy to work with, she is so accommodating to the needs of those she is assisting. I have loved working with Holly Pobst throughout the years because she is friendly and very well respected in the Senior Care Industry. La Marea Senior Care Living is one the most beautiful senior living communities I have seen. Holly is remarkable in her role and is essential to the heart of La Marea Senior Living.

We moved my partner, Don into La Marea in April. Don has had Parkinson’s for 16 years. He loves the food, the staff and the overall environment: he says it’s like being on a cruise ship. I am there at least 3 days per week and everyone is welcoming and friendly. Don is exactly where he needs to be; where all his needs are met and he’s well cared for. We hit the LTC jackpot when we found Launa and La Marea

As a Care Manager, I always love working with La Marea. Their community is impeccable, clean, and inviting. Their activity calendar is always full of wonderful outings, and their residents are always so very happy. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Such a great community all around!

La Marea Senior Living is the best of the best! When I began my search for the best Assisted Living community for my parents, I didn't know what to expect. I toured more than 15 communities throughout north county. Some I really liked, some I walked into and immediately walked out (when you know, you know). When I walked into La Marea the first time I was immediately taken by the beautiful interior, the friendly staff, and the fantastic sales manager, Gaby. By this time, I had toured so many places that I simply asked Gaby to sell me on the care that my parents would receive (my foremost concern) and that is where La Marea shines brightest! She introduced me to Launa the Executive Director who is also an RN. Launa is amazing and leads La Marea like it is her extended family and not a business. She has a magical presence and is never too busy to talk with anyone, from residents to family members stopping by her always open office door. She has assembled an amazing staff of caring and competent people who follow through with her vision. Anthony is the RN who leads the care staff, and I can't say enough about him or the highly skilled and competent care staff that he has brought to La Marea. Within a week, my parents had met everyone on the care staff, and the caregivers had gotten to know my parents on such a personal level. They treat the residents like family and in my parent's case, quickly grew to love and care about them deeply. I can't stress enough the high level of experience and empathy that the caregivers exude. Any questions or concerns are addressed immediately and with the utmost care and competence. The med techs are top notch, as well. They are knowledgeable, caring, and quick with communication which is so important. Activities are a huge part of what makes La Marea so special. Lauren the activity director is amazing. She has an infectious personality that makes everyone around her smile. The residents absolutely love her! She has something special happening several times a day to keep everyone socially engaged, entertained, physically moving, and laughing! Field trips are so much fun as are animal visits, family paint nights, and live music which happens weekly! My Mom recently moved into the Memory Care level called Generations after the passing of my Dad. Javier runs the memory care level and is great. He has such a calming personality and his competence is so reassuring. Questions and concerns are addressed immediately. He and his care staff know every resident personally, their likes and dislikes, and how to keep them engaged and feeling peaceful. Moving your loved one into an Assisted Living community is one of the most difficult decisions you will ever make. I am so glad that I walked into La Marea!

As a registered nurse, when I searched for a senior living community for my mother, I set a high bar for an environment that would nurture her mind, body, and spirit. La Marea exceeded my expectations in every way. The executive director, Launa, is a registered nurse; she represents the professional, caring spirit of La Marea and dedication to providing quality care. With her extensive management experience, medical knowledge, and kind heart, Launa has created a loving, secure, and nurturing home for the La Marea family. Anthony and Javier, the care directors of assisted living and memory care are knowledgeable, competent, and caring, reflecting an attitude that every resident is unique and their care is tailored to meet their specific needs. The outstanding caregivers, med techs, sales, concierge and services directors- Glenn, Maxie, Gracie, Laura, David, Joan, Silvia, Gaby, Reika, Perla and Sebastian, are kind, giving people who strive each day to accommodate and make the extra effort to brighten my mom’s day with a smile. La Marea is a community that considers all senior essential needs with on-site physical and occupational therapists Ramsey and Holly, who also conduct exercise activities.
The community is beautifully designed, offering comfortable apartments with high airy ceilings, common areas, dining, and patios with views of the lovely Carlsbad hills. There are many amenities- a café, gym, hair salon, movie theatre, and fun activities such as live music, coordinated by Lauren, the enthusiastic activities director. La Marea has delicious food prepared by gourmet chef Mark, offering a wide variety of menu choices to accommodate all diets and preferences. Visitors can also enjoy a meal with their loved ones at La Marea’s lovely restaurant with a view.
It is comforting knowing my mother is happy and comfortable in a lovely environment and receives excellent care from kind, personable staff who take pride in their job and love what they do.

LA MAREA has continue to offer all residence from SENIOR LIVING to the Memory Center GENERATION the excellence of their Chef Mark.
My wife is in the GENERATION, and we certainly enjoyed the outstanding Mother Day Brunch together on the deck. Chef Mark even came over to say "Hello" to us and made sure that we were well taken care of.with some outstanding help from his staff David and Rafael. Sorry, I do not know all the names of his staff and cooks, but we were very pleased with the delicious food and the service.
Lauren Peterson Vibrant Life Director always has something for everyone from Mother's Day tea to painting together. I am grateful that my wife and I can participate together, thanks to all of you in making it happen.

My mom was resident #1 in Generations, and it's been a joy to watch the number of residents grow, and to see how beautifully La Marea manages that growth. Javier leads the Generations team with more compassion and professionalism than I've ever seen. He is beloved by all the residents and staff. Gracie, Glenn, Alana, and really all the caregivers are so supportive and kind with both the residents and their families. I have complete confidence that my mother is being cared for with love and compassion. Joseph is always coming up with fun activities for them to do, and families are always welcomed and encouraged to participate. Food is delicious, and just one more indication that La Marea is different than many other memory care facilities that I've seen. My mother has a gorgeous view of the Carlsbad hills that is very reminiscent of Italy, and the facility itself is gorgeous. Launa Cornell, the MD was my lifesaver when we were considering where to move my mom, and supported us all along the journey. We feel so remarkably fortunate to have found La Marea as a place for my mom to live her best life, regardless of her diagnoses.

We worked with Gaby to get my parents settled at La Marea. She and the entire team have been so helpful and welcoming. My parents are already enjoying the facility and all it has to offer.

My family searched in SD county and Ventura county. We compared several different places and chose La Marea for our father. He is so happy, which of course makes us happy.
The staff has been wonderful, always helpful. Tons of activities and the food is great too! We are so happy he’s in a beautiful, safe and happy place.

La Marea is a gorgeous community. Launa is a great leader and Anthony is so knowledgeable and attentive. The residents look happy and engaged. I recommend this community to call home!

Our father recently joined the La Marea Senior Living family and we couldn't be happier with the transition and the care that he has received during his first month. My father is a resident in their Generations Memory Care unit which specializes in those living with Alzheimer's and dementia. The team at La Marea has created a care plan that is tailored to my Father's unique needs.

I toured a few facilities before making this important decision and I can tell you that success starts at the top (You get a good feeling the moment you walk in the door). This facility has a dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable Executive Director who has built a solid team of caregivers, culinary experts and support staff. In addition, La Marea is brand new; The place is impeccable! The residents look happy and seem genuinely interested to socialize with the friendly staff and other residents. There are plenty of organized activities and they do an excellent job of posting daily photos on their community Facebook page (It's my favorite Facebook page these days). It's comforting to know that my father is receiving the best care and enjoying his days (and meals).

La Marea Senior Living is worth a visit! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this community to anyone looking to place a loved one in an assisted living facility.

A beautiful community with amazing care and customer service. La Marea is headed by Launa who is a Registered Nurse. I am very impressed with the filtration system they have in place to prevent the spread of infection. Their investment in this system shows their commitment to the well being of their residents. I highly recommend La Marea Senior Living.

My mother recently moved to La Marea, needing a higher level of care. I can't say enough positive things about this community. Gaby, along the maintenance and front desk staff, were super helpful over the entire move in process. The staff have taken exceptional care for my mom. My mom has commented several times to me how wonderful and kind everyone is (including the other residents). Launa and Anthony have been super responsive in addressing any logistical issues that have come up during my mom's first few weeks being there. On top of all of this, the community itself is brand new (as of 2021) and gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the living units are top notch. If assisted living is the standard of care you seek for you or your loved one, I would highly recommend La Marea without hesitation!

Awesome Team. Beautiful Place.
Sales Director Gaby Alvarado is a true knowledgeable professional and walked me through the entire process long distance.
We arrived fairly late at night (8: 30 pm) from Arizona after traveling all day. Luana was awaiting our arrival and was so welcoming.
She stayed late into the evening and made sure mom had a delicious warm meal and all she needed.
Gracie, Glenn and Bertha are wonderful caring people with great attitudes, and attention to detail. They made me feel so comfortable leaving mom with them.
We are very confident Mom has great care at LaMarea.
Thank you Team LaMarea!

My Mom has been a resident of La Marea for 2 moths now. The building is new and has many fantastic amenities and daily activities (coffee cafe, library, gym, hair salon, movie theater, restaurant with chef, bar and arts and crafts). It's located in a beautiful area close to the ocean. The staff has been very attentive and receptive to my mom's needs and requests from me and my siblings. Launa, Gabby, Solana, Sylvia, Anthony, Javier, Vanessa, Lindsey, Sandy, etc.have all been wonderful! If I forgot to include your name, my apologies. I highly recommend La Marea!

Absolutely beautiful community (feels like you're headed to a winery for the afternoon) with a fantastic group of staff members who great you immediately after entering the building.

Their director, Launa, runs a tight ship and is well loved and respected by her staff, resulting in a well maintained operation and a team who really seem to enjoy the work they do.

Austin and Gabby are amazing at answering any questions and gave me a great view of the community, which was really out of this world. I highly suggest checking it out!

Overall, I'd certainly recommend this community to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable place to call home.
