Village Square Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Costs & Pricing

At Village Square Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, the monthly costs for various room types reflect a premium compared to both San Diego County and the broader state of California. For a semi-private room, residents can expect to pay $5,250, significantly higher than the county average of $3,518 and the state average of $3,333. A one-bedroom unit is priced at $5,500, also above local ($4,315) and state ($4,340) rates. The cost increases further for private accommodations, which are available at $6,150 - a stark contrast to both the county and state averages of $3,939. This pricing structure suggests that while Village Square offers specialized care settings that may justify these costs, potential residents should weigh these figures against their personal financial considerations and care needs when making a decision.

Overall Review of Village Square Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

caveat 12 reviews mention this

Staff can be slow to respond

Several residents and families report long waits or unreturned calls for help.

A recurring concern is difficulty getting staff attention when help is needed. Multiple reviewers describe call buttons not being answered promptly, phones not working, or repeated calls with no follow-up. Some families also say medication timing and basic assistance were missed, including delays tied to nursing availability. A few reviews contrast that experience with others that describe staff as caring, but the responsiveness complaints show up often in negative feedback.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is a mixed issue

Some reviews describe the facility as dirty or with strong odors.

Several negative reviews point to cleanliness and sanitation problems. Reviewers mention strong unpleasant odors, visible mess on surfaces, and areas described as dirty. There are also complaints connecting cleanliness to patient safety and overall comfort. In contrast, a smaller number of positive reviews mention rooms that do not stink and say the facility stays clean and well maintained.

common 7 reviews mention this

Rehab and therapy are cited often

Physical therapy and rehab are repeatedly discussed in reviews.

Many reviewers describe positive rehab experiences, including progress after surgeries and therapy that focuses on mobility and recovery. Some mention specific therapists doing well with strengthening and standing or walking goals. Other reviews express the opposite, saying physical therapy needs improvement or that key services were delayed. Overall, rehab quality comes through as a major point that different families either felt improved recovery or fell short.

common 6 reviews mention this

Food satisfaction runs both ways

Food receives both praise and complaints.

Food is a frequent topic with mixed feedback. Some reviewers say the meals are good or nutritious, while others describe the food as horrible or poor quality. A few comments also tie food experience to the overall feel of the facility during the stay. Because the reviews swing in opposite directions, prospective residents may want to treat dining expectations as uncertain.

common 16 reviews mention this

Staff caring matters to families

Many reviewers describe staff as caring, attentive, and professional.

A sizable share of reviews emphasize supportive staff and positive day-to-day interactions. Multiple families say nurses and therapy staff were kind, patient, and responsive to concerns, and some name individuals by role. A few reviewers also describe communication improvements, including updates about residents and smoother admission experiences. Even with strong negative feedback elsewhere, the recurring praise for caring staff is one of the clearest themes in the positive reviews.
