Why we like it

Lo-Har Senior Living is a 68-bed assisted living community in El Cajon, in eastern San Diego County. While the community offers a smaller, more personal setting, its safety record is a major red flag that families need to take seriously before considering placement.

  • Smaller community scale

    At 68 beds, Lo-Har is more intimate than the large 150+ bed communities in the San Diego area, which can mean more individualized attention.

  • East County San Diego

    El Cajon is centrally located in East County with access to shopping, dining, and medical services along the I-8 corridor.

  • Alarming safety record

    Lo-Har has a 2.3 FYI Safety Score, indicating a serious history of citations and substantiated complaints. Families should obtain full inspection reports, visit unannounced, and speak with current residents' families before making any decisions.

  • Premium pricing for the area

    Rates are on the higher end for East County San Diego, which is notable given the safety concerns. Families should carefully evaluate whether the pricing aligns with the level of care provided.
