Butterfly Gardens is exceptional! I ve been helping my parents find increasing levels of assistance for 12 years. At 97 and mentally competent but physically frail, they now need a lot of care and supervision. The caregivers are good humored and very attentive. On-site, hands-on owner, Leo is an RN who is wonderful help navigating their medical issues and doctors appointments. You can negotiate his level of involvement according to your needs. I trust him completely. I looked at MANY places. BG is clean, neat and bright. You will find fancier places with more sophisticated food, but I doubt you can find better care. I ve seen Leo work magic transitioning reluctant seniors, like my father, to this level of care. Most importantly, my parents tell me they feel safe and truly appreciate the care they receive here.

highly recommend Butterfly Gardens for anyone requiring board and care living. This is a very nice facility in a lovely neighborhood. It is well managed with kind caregivers who are long time employees. I have been monitoring my friend with dementia in this home for the last year and have stopped in unannounced many times. The food and care have been consistently excellent.

Thank you Leo for all you did and continue to do for families in need.

The decision to move my mother to Butterfly Gardens for her care was the best choice I could have made. It was difficult for her to make the move to full care from assisted living as she felt she was "giving up" to her aging and "giving in" to her inability to care for herself.
Quite honestly she was quite unhappy the first week at Butterfly Gardens. She didn't have a problem with her room, which because the facility is based in a residential house was large, warm and very much like home, or the food or the people she just had a problem with this transition.
Leo and his entire staff worked tirelessly with compassion and patience to make my Mom feel at home. It wasn't long before she settled in and was very happy with this new life's stage. 
I cannot thank Leo and his staff enough times for the attentiveness they gave my mother, the understanding they had of my concerns and requests and  most importantly my mother's dignity and need to know she was not only special to her family but also special to Leo and his staff. They made her feel wanted and important, never, ever just another resident.
When she finally passed the pain of losing her was lessened by the caring of Leo, the staff and the other residents. 

My Dad was very fortunate to get into Butterfly Gardens.  There are only 6 beds so an opening is rare.  But if you do get the chance, you won't be disappointed. I really have nothing negative to say about BG.  Leo and the staff are great and they make the home feel just like home.  They are all very compassionate people and know how to care for the elderly, no matter what circumstance presents itself. My Dad was there for over 2 years.  Be had dementia and COPD and was on hospice for over one year. They did everything right and I feel very comfortable leaving my Dad with them.  I live a long way from San Diego, but with the care they provided, I never had to worry, which was a very big relief to me. Over the time he was there, every outside caregiver who visited the facility said it was by far the best in San Diego. So if you are reading this, you must be looking for a place for one or both of your folks. Good luck and I hope they have an opening, because you can't go wrong by choosing to stay here.

Butterfly Gardens is a wonderful and safe home for our mother.  Leo and his wife are such warm and caring people.  All the caregivers are kind and long term employees.  The home is bright, airy, comfortable and clean.  It took us awhile to find this perfect location for our mother and she has adapted better than we ever expected.i
