Why we like it

Novellus Clairemont is a 214-bed assisted living community in San Diego's Clairemont neighborhood, part of the Novellus chain. It is one of the more affordable large communities in San Diego, but families should carefully review the facility's below-average safety record before considering placement.

The size and pricing make it worth investigating, but the inspection history needs honest scrutiny.

Budget-friendly for San Diego
One of the more affordable large assisted living options in the San Diego market, where pricing tends to run high.
Very large community
At 214 beds, this is one of the biggest communities in San Diego, offering extensive programming, dining options, and on-site services.
Clairemont location

Concerning safety record

Chain operation at scale
A 214-bed Novellus community may feel institutional. Visit during different times of day to assess staffing levels and resident engagement.
