About

Good Samaritan Retirement Center on Jamacha Way has a reputation in El Cajon for being a genuinely caring spot for local seniors. It's not flashy, but families say the staff really pays attention – people mention nurses, caregivers, and even administrators (like Susan, who gets called out by name) for being patient and kind. Residents get help with the basics: bathing, dressing, managing meds, and there's always someone around if help is needed, day or night.
