Residential care homes in San Diego may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. San Diego care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in San Diego, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Skyline, Castle and North Park.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Bonita, Cardiff by the Sea or Chula Vista.
Residential Care Home
Las Villas is a clean safe friendly community with a good staff team. They do have a lot of fun activities like ice cream socials, painting classes and other fun things throughout the week, but our loved one has mild dementia and we thought the staff would encourage our loved one more or just do friendly reminders. They have a great cable package with so many different channels so the residents just have to continuously flip through channels to find what they are looking for. When we moved our loved one in there was no orientation or packet to refer back to on so we had to learn everyone ourselves. We had to learn about the shuttle service and scheduling appointments, we had to learn the laundry service and the dining service. It would be nice if there was just something to get us started. The dining room is undergoing remodeling and is closed off so the food is being delivered to the rooms and overall even with the meals sometimes being a hit or miss our loved one thinks they are good.
