Cottonwood Canyon Healthcare Center sits at 1391 East Madison Avenue in El Cajon and serves as a nonprofit skilled nursing facility run by Administrator Mr. Curtis Green. The center supports both long-term and short-term stays with a focus on skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and recovery for people aged 60 and older. Nurses and licensed staff give 24/7 care, while therapists provide physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy, all intended to help residents heal and regain day-to-day abilities. If someone needs post-operative recovery or convalescent care, Cottonwood Canyon has specialized programs and a state-of-the-art rehab gym to offer services that match each resident's needs. The therapy and admissions teams, which people often describe as positive, knowledgeable, and helpful, help new residents feel welcome and comfortable.
The single-story building, which recently got a remodeled entrance and a new family room, features spacious courtyards, a pond, gardens, and comfortable common areas where residents can relax or join in social activities. There's a focus on nutritious meals every day, weekly housekeeping, laundry services, and various fitness and recreation programs. Residents can take part in outings or activities aimed at keeping them engaged and active, and the center offers transportation for those who need to get out for appointments or errands. Cottonwood Canyon is known for its clean and well-maintained surroundings, which help create a peaceful place for both patients and visiting families to enjoy. With English-speaking staff, the facility keeps a warm, community feel where personalized care plans help support individual health, wellness, and recovery goals. Right now, the center isn't taking new residents. Many people say the care here is nurturing and attentive, aiming to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and feeling at home during their stay.
