La Costa Elder Care has a small, home-like setting with a capacity for six residents in each house, and they've been providing care in Carlsbad since 2011 with license numbers 374603096 and 374604224. This family-owned and operated community, managed by Jasmine, Vic, and Tomas, focuses on personal attention with two caregivers during the day and one at night, plus live-in staff to help around the clock, so there's always someone ready to help with bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and meals. They offer care at all levels, including light, medium, and heavy care, and can handle hospice, memory care, total care, behavioral care, bedridden people, and residents who need diabetic or incontinence support or injections like insulin, so they're equipped for complex health needs, with dementia and hospice waivers available.
Residents have private rooms, family rooms, outdoor patios, specialized bathrooms, and several quiet common areas, so everyone finds a comfortable spot. The property is secure with video surveillance, alarm bracelets, and a computerized system that sends alerts if someone with memory loss tries to leave an unsafe area, and the memory care program is in its own dedicated building, especially for Alzheimer's and dementia. Pet-friendly rules let residents keep a cat or dog, and they have house pets too, with services to help care for them. Doctors, nurses, dentists, therapists, a beautician, manicurist, and podiatrist come to the house as needed, and they can handle everything from medication management to wound or diabetic care, and also collaborate with home health and hospice as needed.
La Costa Elder Care serves nutritious, balanced, home-cooked meals every day and can adjust for special diets. Daily life includes light exercises, walks on the paths or time in the garden for those who enjoy gardening, movie nights, live singing, and a guitarist visits every other week. Residents often go out to the Carlsbad Flower Fields, the beach, shopping at the Outlet Mall or Costco, and families gather for meals together at Thanksgiving, with kids visiting for Halloween fun. Staff tailor activities by interest and ability, help with grooming, and offer reminders so everyone stays engaged and comfortable. There are multiple planned activities, both on-site and with the wider community, and the backyard's a popular spot for sitting under the shade. Residents live with dignity, surrounded by caring staff, and their care plans adjust as needs change. This place feels like an extended family, working hard to keep life as normal and pleasant as possible for elders and their families.
