Bosworth Garden, located at 1340 Bosworth Street in El Cajon, California, is a small six-bed residential care facility for the elderly that focuses on assisted living, memory care, hospice care, and respite care, with its business operations starting in June 2022 and having a business file opened in February 2024, run by Bosworth Garden, LLC. The facility has a license from the California Department of Social Services and isn't BBB accredited or certified to accept Medicare unless stated otherwise by CMS. Residents at Bosworth Garden get round-the-clock care from trained staff, including a licensed nurse, both day and night caregivers, live-in helpers, and housekeeping staff who handle daily tasks and personal needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, laundry, and room cleaning, so residents can count on help as they come and go. There are private and shared rooms, emergency alert systems in every room, and residents can choose between home-cooked meals three times a day-plus snacks-with special diets available if requested, all in a dining room where meals are served restaurant-style to encourage socializing, and people frequently remark on the comfortable, well-maintained garden and quiet courtyard that help make it feel like a true home.
The facility supports seniors who might need mobility assistance, transferring in and out of bed, support in the bath, hygiene needs, toileting, or even access to a mobile hairdresser or stylist, and they've got staff ready to help. Bosworth Garden makes it possible for residents to stay active and engaged with a mix of fitness programs, walking paths, group activities, movie nights, art and music plans, puzzle and tabletop games, animal therapy, and outdoor trips, and there are programs tailored for memory care residents to help with cognitive engagement and lessen confusion or wandering. There's a focus on building a friendly, caring environment that keeps people involved, healthy, and connected-with planned social evenings, a book room, sauna, hot tub, recreation spaces, patios, common rooms, and even gardening for those who want to dig in the dirt.
Residents can get help with transportation to shopping, faith-based events, and medical appointments, and staff can also schedule those appointments or arrange pharmacy deliveries; medical and counseling services, general and psychiatric, are accessible too, with connections to local doctors and clinics if needed, and a nurse steps in for more complex care. Staff requirements like fingerprinting, health checks, TB tests, CPR, and First Aid ensure everyone on the job knows how to help with emergencies or everyday needs.
Pets are allowed with some rules, and there's often a community pet present, which some people find comforting. The owner is described as professional and attentive to the needs of residents, making decisions that help everyone feel comfortable and cared for. Bosworth Garden offers general housekeeping, meal prep, group engagement, and linen service, and for those needing memory care-especially those dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementias-there are special supports, safe layouts, and constant staff monitoring. There's a focus on maintaining independence, but always with support nearby, so residents can do as much as they feel able and still have peace of mind knowing staff are around every hour of the day and night. The facility offers no current pricing details for rooms or services.
Bosworth Garden calls itself a verified senior community that's small enough for personalized attention in a home-like setting, matching what many people call adult foster homes or personal care homes in other areas, with staff who know the residents well and a routine that gives structure without feeling restricting. The grounds are neat and cared for, and there are even services for garden installation and outdoor design, so the outside spaces stay inviting year-round, and the atmosphere is one where residents and families tend to describe the community as friendly, knowledgeable, and emotionally supportive.
