  • Move-ins take time: assessments, paperwork, and preparation typically run 2–6 weeks in San Diego.
  • The best communities fill first: top-rated communities often run a waitlist — touring early holds your place in line.
  • Touring costs nothing and commits you to nothing — but it turns a future emergency into a calm, informed choice.
