Great place near Scripps Park area. Went here on a Sunday morning to walk around and check the seals out, peaceful area in the early mornings. Staff and food were awesome. The view is nice too if you get there early enough to get one of the tables.

My cardisc team was originally told I would get a private room. Once there I did not. Food is horrible. I have my own brought in. I lay in my filth for hours waiting to be changed I have complained several times, nothing changes. Constant excuses of mid communication. I can't wait to get out of here.

My aunt was supposed to stay there for her rehab, as soon as she checked in, she knew she was not going to stay here. She was still willing to give it a try and stayed one night. It was overcrowded, dark, understaffed, you literally can’t take a shower if it’s not your “scheduled” day. Very disappointing.

This place is absolutely HORRIBLE!! If you truly care about your loved one, do not send them here. My client was here for a while and to summarize and put it bluntly, everything sucked! The doctors nor the nurses took good care of my client, the food was disgusting, and yes I tried it. Sometimes my client would be eating and wondering what the heck it was! If you had to call the nurse they would take forever to come. The rooms are soooo small, well the 2nd room my client was moved to was a little better but the first one was very small, especially for having to share. The place is dark and dreary. It has an awful smell that hits you right when you walk in. By the way, after re-reading this, I realize it kind of makes me sound snobby, but I'm far from it. I don't live in this area but my client does, that's why it was chosen. Definitely not what I expected for being in La Jolla. If you want good care for your loved one, don't go here, look elsewhere!!

I recently stayed at The Cove for a fall I had taken. I was more than presently surprised at how clean and odor free this place is. They really go out of their way to keep things clean. Their staff is super friendly and highly knowledgeable. They got me up and going right away, which is what I truly needed. I love the outdoor areas too. Its very nice to have that available. Us San Diegans enjoy our sun time. I am very grateful to have chosen and stayed here, I truly appreciate their philosophy, practices, and staff. I highly recommend The Cove as a place to recover, their definitely on top of their game.
