Bellahomecare III sits at 164 Old Ranch Rd in Chula Vista and houses up to six residents in a quiet, home-like setting, with six bedrooms and three bathrooms, and has run as a licensed Residential Care Home for the Elderly since August 2024, offering private and shared rooms and accepting SSI and Assisted Living Waiver Program clients. Residents can live in studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom options, with some rooms providing laundry and full kitchen access, plus Wi-Fi, utilities, cable, and phone service, while the house and grounds include a swimming pool, shaded patio, gardens, courtyards, and a security system, all set up for safe movement, wheelchair access, and comfortable daily life. Staff on site include two daytime and one nighttime caregiving staff, supported by a live-in staff member and visiting nurses, so there's always help for personal care, medication, and daily tasks, and there's an emergency call system for peace of mind, with 24-hour nursing care, palliative care, memory care, personal care, hospice care, and support for bedridden residents, as well as specialty programs for fall prevention, injury reduction, cognitive activities for those with dementia, and rehabilitation services like physiotherapy and occupational therapy, all tailored to the needs of each resident.
The dining room and private dining spots see group meals, snacks, and chef-prepared menus that meet dietary needs, and there's a focus on nutrition planning and meal support, plus help with meal prep for those who want to stay independent but need a little extra. Residents can join social and recreational activities-inside and outdoors-like movies in the media room, games, planned outings, reading in the library, fitness programs in the gym, and hanging out in the gardens, while some enjoy the beautician and hair salon or take part in religious services. Pet-friendly rules welcome four-legged friends, and the property keeps a calm, pretty garden feel, encouraging companionship and community, with emotional support and sitter services for those needing more than just chores taken care of.
Housekeeping, linens, laundry, and errand help are part of the support given, though there's no separate housekeeping staff on site. The facility takes care to provide a safe place for elderly adults, including those with Alzheimer's, dementia, disorders requiring round-the-clock skilled nursing, or those simply preferring assisted or independent living with optional support. Services get delivered in both English and Spanish, and the staff's trained to work with clients served by the San Diego Regional Center (SDRC). Cherry T Cook manages the property, making sure the home runs smoothly and matches all state-required standards with license #374604846. Bella Care Home III views itself as part of a broader category-sometimes called Adult Foster Homes or Personal Care Homes in other states-where folks get the personal attention and community feel that can sometimes be missing in bigger places, with care plans adjusted to every single person for long or short stays.
