Senior Living apartments in San Diego County

[James Peters]

I am reaching out to the BP community as a potential tenant.  My father is a65 YO and I am moving him to be closer to my in-laws in San Diego.  I am looking for 55+ communities or other apartments for rent for him.  

I thought someone here might have a lead on a good rental that is a 1bedroom 1 bath property, perhaps in East San Diego county? Lakeside, El Cajon, Santee, La Mesa, Bonita, Spring Valley, Alpine?

Had several scam Craigslist listings and many places have waitlists, so I wanted to reach out here as well.  

A downstairs unit and an owner open to having 2 cats would be ideal.  I will be cosigning and have an 825 FICO (My dad's is in the high 600s) and we have rental income from another property.

Thanks for the help!
