Chateau Lake San Marcos is retirment at its best! Compeletly like resort style living! From delicious food, great on and offsite activities and one of the best fitness instructors around! ...

My mother has been renting a unit here since spring and enjoys it very much. There are many activities, including exercise classes, excursions, church services, happy hours, parties, boat rides on the lake, etc.and residents can go grocery shopping in a van several times a week. All the staff is extremely nice, helpful, and professional. Menu selections in the dining hall are good. However, as a single with a little dementia, my mother is unwillling to go to the dining hall alone so unless she is invited by other residents, or has some family able to come up, she eats at home a lot, still spending too much time alone. And unfortunately there are no good walking paths. I feel she is quite safe here.‎
