Graceful Hearts Assisted Living sits in a quiet residential neighborhood on Crest Drive in Chula Vista, California, operating as a small, licensed care home for the elderly since June 2022 and offering help to up to six residents at a time. The house has a cozy feel, with kitchenettes for making favorite snacks, a common area and a library for reading, plus an outdoor garden and shaded seating where you can watch the birds or visit with loved ones. There's a swimming pool and hot tub, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a central kitchen where meals get prepared for everyone, and if you're fond of animals, dogs and cats are allowed. Residents get help with day-to-day needs like bathing, dressing, meals, medication, and housekeeping, with extra services like laundry, linen changes, and transportation to doctor visits or shopping.
The facility's registered capacity is six beds, and it's staffed 24 hours, with a licensed nurse, an MD on call, experienced caregivers during the day and night, and a live-in administrator with a nursing background, and the staff together brings over a decade of experience. Graceful Hearts offers respite care for short stays and has a strong focus on memory care, helping people with dementia, Alzheimer's, or other cognitive needs through special programs and safe supervision, plus personalized activities that can help with memory and foster independence, alongside a fall prevention program. There are devotionals and plenty of group activities, a gym and beauty salon on site, and even a chapel for quiet reflection. The home provides rehabilitation, wound care, skilled nursing for more complex medical needs, mobile physician visits, and medication management.
Residents have the option to live more independently with support as needed, or to use more hands-on care as health changes, and the home does get regular checks from local and state licensing groups. Graceful Hearts doesn't take Medicare as payment unless they receive certification from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The licensed home has operated without complaints or citations and has a business file start date in March 2024, but has served seniors in Chula Vista since June of 2022, offering a peaceful space and caring help for residents and their families.
